{{quote2|Luigi, I found this cap in front of [[Peach's Castle|the castle]] a little while ago. You must have dropped it. If you want to become a full-fledged hero like [[Mario|your brother]], you can't be so careless!|[[Toad (species)|Toad]]|[[Super Mario 64 DS]]}}
The '''Luigi Cap''' (or '''Luigi's cap''') is one of [[Luigi]]'s important pieces of clothing. Like [[Mario|his brother]], Luigi has worn the [[cap]] since he was a [[Baby Luigi|baby]].

==History==
[[File:LuigiCap - front.png|thumb|150px]]
===''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''====

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===
====''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''====
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''====
The giant Luigi Cap atop the grandstand returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' in {{classic-link|N64|Luigi Raceway}}.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
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===
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.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
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.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
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]]''.

===''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 Kingdom Battle''===
[[File:Luigi n Rabbid - RabbidsKingdomBattle.png|150px|thumb]]
[[Rabbid Luigi]] from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' wears a Luigi Cap.

===Other appearances===
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 which 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.
