First appearance	Super Mario-kun Volume 10 (1994)

Luigi Kong is a form that Luigi takes after being brainwashed by Lakitu into being the main character at all costs through his Cloud's lightning, causing him to go after Mario, in chapter 4 of Super Mario-kun Volume 10. Initially, Luigi is just violent, but when turned into a monster, he becomes a giant gorilla-like Luigi, with large nostrils and a large fanged mouth resembling the snout of King Kong from the original 1933 film.

After spending the previous chapters looking for him, Mario, Yoshi, and Bowser-Wanda finally find Luigi in Balloon Bridge. Luigi is mysteriously violent against Mario, and when Lakitu comes out to explain why, he intensifies Luigi's violent tendencies, transforming him into Luigi Kong. Using his nostril, Luigi inhales Mario and then sneezes him out, humiliating him. Mario then tries to toss a fireball at him, but Yoshi stops him, not wanting to hurt Luigi. Luigi Kong then chases the two, but Bowser-Wanda makes a traffic cone appear to stray Luigi Kong away.

While he is gone, the trio decides to go after Lakitu's Cloud to free Luigi. When he returns, Mario tosses Yoshi, with his mouth wide open, to make his brother fall inside it, keeping him occupied. When Lakitu's Cloud is destroyed, Luigi is turned to normal and joins their quest to remove Wario's bucket from Princess Peach's head.
