| | '''[[Luigi]]'s Cap''' has been a key symbol for the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' franchise. 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]]. |
| The '''Luigi Cap''' (or '''Luigi's cap''') is one of [[Luigi]]'s important pieces of clothing. Like [[Mario]], Luigi has worn the [[cap]] since he was [[Baby Luigi|a baby]].

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| [[File:LuigiCap - front.png|thumb|150px]] | | Luigi's hat was meant to contradict [[Mario's Hat|Mario's red hat]]. Green is the Negative Color of Red. The hat was made green with a green "L" emblem. It has stayed that way ever since. |
| ===''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===
| | 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. |
| ====''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''==== | | ==Importance== |
| 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.
| | 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 effected 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. |
| | |
| ====''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 Mario, 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===
| |
| ====''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.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
| |
| 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, such as [[Bowser]]'s stomping and the [[Luiginoid]]s' using a [[Ground Pound]], also knock over the cap.
| |
| | |
| 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]].

| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===

| *On the North American and European box art for ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the ''L'' on the Luigi Cap is backwards. | | *Luigi is seen without his cap is in [[Luigi's Mansion]] when he gets hit by a bomb or fire. If this happens, he will take off his hat and shake it because it's on fire, thus, he is seen hatless. 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 of his hat. The same goes for Mario. |
| | | *Luigi's Cap is an item in Nintendogs that the players dog can wear. |
