Editing Luigi's Diary

[[File:PM Luigi's Diary desk.png|thumb|Luigi's Diary laid open on a table]]
'''Luigi's Diary''' is an item in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is found in a basement of the [[Mario Bros.' House]]. This diary of [[Luigi]]'s can be accessed after [[Mario]] gets the [[Ground Pound]] ability in Chapter 3. Mario can enter the basement from the brothers' room by ground pounding the floor. After every chapter, there will be a new entry in the diary that can be quite humorous to read. Before Chapter 3, Mario can't access Luigi's Diary, but he can tell that Luigi is writing in it, because there are music notes coming out through the floor of the brothers' room. However, during Chapter 3, if Mario returns to [[Toad Town]] from [[Boo's Mansion]] after obtaining the Ground Pound and decides to enter the basement at this point before having finished Chapter 3, Luigi will still be in there and become stunned by Mario's presence for a brief moment. He will flee and take his diary with him. Even if this happens, if Mario enters the basement after leaving the grounds of his house and returning later, he can still find the diary.

Luigi's Diary also makes small references to spinoff games from the ''Mario'' franchise, which includes the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'', ''[[Mario Tennis (series)|Mario Tennis]]'', and ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, and even a note of Luigi possibly getting his own game, which later on became ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.

<blockquote>Once again, my brother went on an exciting journey. Once again, he went alone. It's so unfair! I remember the carefree days when we played [[Mario Golf (series)|Golf]] and [[Mario Tennis (series)|Tennis]] and had [[Mario Party (series)|Parties]]. I remodeled the house and made a secret basement my brother has no idea! It's the perfect place to write in you, my secret diary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I heard that a [[Boo|ghost]] appeared in [[Toad Town]] today. It was big, really big. And it had red eyes, a giant, gaping mouth and a mustache. .......... Because you're my secret diary, I'll tell you the truth: Yaaaah! I hate ghosts!! What will I do if it appears at night! Come back, Mario! I'm scared! Yikes! I can feel something behind me. Ahhh! I'm sure it's there, but I can't look back! No! No! Get away! I think I'll be safe if I don't freeze with fear. I'll just shut my eyes and take five steps back, and then I'll jump and dash into bed. Here I go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>A [[Shy Guy]] appeared at my house the other day. I found it asleep in my bed! Can you believe it? I ran after him, but he was way too fast for me. I heard that a lot of Shy Guys also appeared in Toad Town. Supposedly, they came from [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. It must be somewhere in town. A Toy Box... I wouldn't mind seeing that. Maybe they have a [[Nintendo 64]]!</blockquote>

<blockquote>The whole [[Goomba]] family visited me today. They said that [[Goombario]] is in the care of my brother, then they gave me a souvenir! It was a [[Goomnut]], a special treat from [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]]. It looked so yummy I ate it without telling my brother! My [[Flower Point|FP]] increased by 3. .........You think he'll notice?</blockquote>

<blockquote>I heard that my brother went to [[Lavalava Island]] on a [[Whale (character)|tuna]]. Unbelievable! So unfair!! I... I... I wanna ride on a tuna, too!</blockquote>
===Page 6===
<blockquote>I heard that some [[The Fearsome 5|Yoshi kids]] on Lavalava Island got lost and my brother saved them. I bet Yoshi kids are just about the cutest things around. I'm a bit jealous of my brother.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I heard a rumor that I actually have lots of fans. Wow! What great news! To live up to their expectations, I want to play the lead in [[Luigi's Mansion|an adventure]]! Of course, my name would have to be in the title. That'd be sweet... But I know it'll never happen...</blockquote>

<blockquote>I heard that a door appeared in Toad Town. They say it leads to [[Flower Fields]]. I guess lots of Flower Spirits live in that flowery place. Flower Spirits... I bet their souls are as beautiful as the prettiest flowers...</blockquote>

<blockquote>Somebody said to me that a way will open when you use a scarf and a bucket... What? A scarf for a [[snowman]]? Wouldn't it melt him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Yesterday, I got stuck in the trapdoor when I was entering my secret room... Have I been using it too much? Or am I putting on weight? I'd better oil it to make it open easier.</blockquote>

<blockquote>When I looked up at the sky tonight I saw a [[Star Cruiser|shooting star]] racing across the sky toward [[Peach's Castle]]. I made a wish to the Stars right away, but I wonder if it will really be granted... What I wished was............... I can't write it even though this is a secret diary. Aargh! You can see it even though I erased it! (My wish is to sleep in the top bunk bed.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>I heard that my brother finally saved [[Princess Peach]]! [[Bowser]] increased his power with the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] but my brilliant brother beat him anyway! I guess he'll be coming back home pretty soon. I'm looking forward to listening to the story of his adventure. Anyway, I'm going to finish this diary for now. I have to seal this room off before he notices that I remodeled without telling him. Now I'm going to prepare a dinner to celebrate Mario's return!</blockquote>
