Swapping consciousnesses =/= Getting Luigi's power. Consciousness refers to the mind, they are swapping BRAINS, not MUSCLES. Luigi basically just controls Gooigi at a more intense level, it's as if you went inside an RC car to control it.

'Uh, no. He can physically accomplish everything Luigi can do' You bring up the E. Gadd research journal, but you ignore something in the journal. In the 'Gooigi's Weaknesses' page, it is specifically stated that Gooigi cannot open doors on his own, and while controlling Gooigi, you also can't open doors.

And I'll give you the lifting a grand piano thing. I'll give you that, since in the name of gameplay, Gooigi would be able to do that to, but still, Luigi can canonically lift a whole castle and punt it away. Gooigi cannot do that.

Again, swapping consciousnesses does not equal gaining the other person's power, otherwise Gooigi would be able to open doors.

The definition for consciousness is 'the state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings', at what point in that description does it say, or even imply, that it's somehow related to strength? Essentially, what Luigi does when swapping consciousnesses with Gooigi, is he makes it so essentially, he BECOMES Gooigi, just with Luigi's smarts and mind.
