| | '''[[Luigi]]'s [[Cap]]''' is one of Luigi's important pieces of clothing. Luigi has had his hat in hand for his every appearance with no exceptions. Luigi has worn the hat since he was a [[Baby Luigi|baby]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==History== | | ==History== |
| [[File:LuigiCap - front.png|thumb|150px]] | | Luigi's hat was meant to contradict [[Mario's Cap|Mario's red cap]] since green is the opposite color of red. The hat was made green with a green "L" emblem, but it was white on [[Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels]] |
| ===''Mario Bros.''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', the Luigi Cap color was taken from the [[Shellcreeper]]'s palette to distinguish Mario from Luigi. The cap was made green with a green ''L'' emblem.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
| |
| The Luigi Cap was recolored white in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the tip of the cap had been changed to black instead of its usual green. This happened for the [[Mario Cap]] as well. However, after this game, the Luigi Cap reverted to having a green tip.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Luigi's cap is used to shape-shift into Luigi if the player is either [[Mario]], [[Wario]], or [[Yoshi]]. In the same game, Luigi is affected in the same way as Mario and Wario if his cap is lost. Luigi's defense and attack sharply decline while his cap is absent from his head. If the player gets the cap back, Luigi's attack and defense revert to normal. Until Luigi is unlocked, it appears only in [[Big Boo's Haunt]], during any mission except the first one. If the player obtains a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] while wearing the cap, they turn into [[Vanish Mario|Vanish Luigi]]. If he loses his cap and gains a [[Power Star]] from another level, Luigi can simply talk to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] (who will have found and be wearing Luigi's cap) in the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s lobby and get it back from him.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario 3D Land'' / ''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Luigi, like his brother, loses his cap in his [[Small Mario|Small form]]. However, in the former game, once the player has 1,110 lives, his [[Super Mario (form)|regular form]] loses his cap instead.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
| |
| [[File:Luigi Outfit Odyssey.jpg|thumb|150px|[[Mario]] wearing [[Luigi]]'s cap and outfit]]
| |
| The Luigi Cap can be obtained for Mario to wear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It can be either purchased from a [[Crazy Cap]] store or obtained through scanning a Luigi [[amiibo]] (the latter also unlocks Luigi's costume).
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| | During the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the tip of the cap had been changed to black instead of his usual green, this happened for Mario as well. However, after this game, Luigi's cap went back to having a green tip. |
| ====''Mario Kart 64''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''{{'}}s [[N64 Luigi Raceway|Luigi Raceway]], a giant version of the Luigi Cap can be seen atop the grandstand.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Kart Wii''====
| | In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]] ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', in the [[Luigi's Circuit]] (Luigi's Raceway in ''Mario Kart 64'') courses, giant Luigi's caps can be seen on top of the grandstands. |
| Another giant Luigi Cap returns on ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''{{'}}s [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]], where it once again can be seen atop the grandstand of the track.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Kart 7''====
| | In the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], the "L" on Luigi's cap is black. Mario's cap was changed in the same way, Starting with Dream Team, they are the usual green and red. |
| The giant Luigi Cap atop the grandstand returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' in {{classic-link|N64|Luigi Raceway}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Kart Tour''====
| | In the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when Luigi is reverted to [[Mr. L]], his hat takes a slight change with the white on his hat being turned to black and the "L" in the middle being turned backward. |
| A [[glider]] based on Luigi's cap, aptly named [[Luigi's Hat Balloon]], debuted in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. [[N64 Luigi Raceway]] also returns in the aforementioned tour, which also marks the return of the giant Luigi Cap atop the grandstand of that course.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario & Luigi'' series=== | | ==Importance== |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the ''L'' on the Luigi Cap is black. The Mario Cap was changed in the same way. From ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' onward, they are the usual green and red. | | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Luigi's hat was used to shape-shift into Luigi if the player was either [[Mario]], [[Wario]], or [[Yoshi]]. In the same game, Luigi is affected the same way as Mario and Wario if their hats are lost. Luigi's defense and attack sharply decline, while his hat is absent from his head. If the player gets the hat back, Luigi's attack and defense revert back to normal. If Luigi is locked, it only appears in Big Boo's Haunt for any star except #1. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''==== | | ==Cap-less Luigi== |
| In ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', Luigi's cap takes on an additional game role. When Luigi is sleeping and Mario is in the [[Dream World]], the Touch Screen is dedicated to showing Luigi and [[Starlow]]. Starlow can push Luigi's cap over, so as to cover Luigi's face, but Luigi pushes it back up. Heavy impacts in the Dream World, like [[Bowser]]'s stomping and the [[Luiginoid]]s using a [[Ground Pound]], also knock over the cap.
| | Sometimes, Luigi will be seen without his cap on. |
| | | *In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' when Luigi gets hit by a bomb or fire, his hat will catch flame and he will take off his hat and shake it. Thus, he is seen hat-less. |
| When [[Dreamy Luigi]] is in trouble, the L mark on the real Luigi's cap starts to glow. When Starlow presses down on the L, Luiginoids combine with Dreamy Luigi and transform him into [[Giant Luigi]].
| | *Another time where he has no hat on is in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' when playing as Luigi, after a non-castle level is completed, he takes off his hat. The same goes for Mario. |
| | | *In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Luigi's cap can be stolen by [[Klepto]] or a [[Ukiki]] and Luigi will be seen without his cap. He can complete the whole game without his cap, but he will be much weaker. Luigi can not get back his cap without snatching it away from the enemy that stole it or get it from [[Toad]] (who will be wearing it before giving it to Luigi) after retrieving one Star upon losing the cap. |
| ===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
| | *Upon leveling up in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', after the bonus upgrade is added, Luigi will hop and his hat will fall off. |
| In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', if the player plays as Luigi, [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]] has a giant Luigi Cap as a roof.
| | *Just like with Mario, his hat disappears when he has 99 lives in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. |
| | | *The [[Luma (character)|white Luma]] steals Luigi's hat at the end of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. This is also seen with Mario. |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| | *In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', if Luigi is hit and reverts to his [[Small Mario|small form]], he loses his cap. The same thing happens when playing as Mario, and they both regain their caps when they collect power-ups. Also, if both Luigi and Mario reach the maximum amount of lives, they will lose their caps, but have them on in their small forms. |
| Luigi's cap can be equipped on a Mii Fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
| | *Luigi loses his cap when he has the maximum number of lives in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', except when he is in his [[Gold Mario|Silver Luigi]] or [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Luigi]] forms. The same applies to Mario. |
| | | *In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', when a ghost escapes to another room, Luigi takes off his cap and breathes a sigh of relief. In the [[ScareScraper]] mode, whenever he finds a warp cupboard, his hat flies in first and Luigi himself does soon after. He also takes it off briefly when he stands underwater, as if taking a shower. |
| ===''Super Paper Mario''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when Luigi is brainwashed into [[Mr. L]], his cap is slightly changed, with the white on his cap being turned to black and the ''L'' in the middle being turned backwards. | |
| | |
| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
| |
| Luigi's Hat can be unlocked as a head [[List of horse accessories in Mario Sports Superstars|accessory]] for a [[horse]] in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. | |
| | |
| ===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
| |
| [[File:Luigi n Rabbid - RabbidsKingdomBattle.png|150px|thumb]]
| |
| [[Rabbid Luigi]] from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' wears a Luigi Cap.
| |
| | |
| ===Other appearances===
| |
| The Luigi Cap is one of the collectible [[starfywiki:treasure items|treasure items]] in ''[[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy|Densetsu no Starfy]]''. It is found in the [[starfywiki:Pufftop|Pufftop Kingdom]]. | |
| | |
| A replica of the Luigi Cap, the '''Green Hat''', is an item in ''{{wp|Nintendogs}}'' that the player's dog can wear.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'', and later ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|New Leaf]]'', there is a headgear item resembling the Luigi Cap that the player's avatar can wear. The item is called "li'l bro's hat," in reference to Luigi being the younger brother of Mario. | |
