The '''''Super Luigi'' series''' is a collection of books about [[Luigi]]'s adventures in the [[Waffle Kingdom]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. During Luigi's quest to save [[List of Implied Characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]], the green-clad hero was tailed by an author who recorded the events of the epic journey. Eventually, this author writes the acclaimed Super Luigi book series. | |||

Bazaar]] in [[Rogueport | After Chapter 4, [[Mario]] can buy the first volume of the series for 64 [[coins]] at the [[Toad Bros. Bazaar]] in [[Rogueport]]. Three more volumes of Super Luigi will be released after Mario clears each additional chapter, up to after the player beats the [[Shadow Queen]]. These books are sold for 128 coins each. The last volume is sold for 256 coins after beating the game. | ||
The Super Luigi series' tale usually differs from Luigi's rendition of his story. For example, in the [[ | The Super Luigi series' tale usually differs from Luigi's rendition of his story. For example, in the [[Jazzafrazz Town]] section of the story, Luigi and his partner, [[Hayzee]] state that, in Hayzee's stage production, Luigi played the part of grass, while the books say that Luigi played the part of a purifying earth spirit. The books usually make the stories much more dramatic in this way. It is unknown how or even if Luigi went on his adventure, seeing as how he occasionally appears in Mario's [[audience]]. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*Most of [[Luigi|Luigi's]] allies are based on food. [[Jerry]] being based on a cherry, [[Blooey]] based on an octopus which is edible, [[Screamy]] supposedly being based on whip cream, and also a hamburger like [[Spinia]] is found in the games [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Beta elements|coding]] next to the other allies. | |||
*The final revelation of Crepe having Luigi collect the Marvelous Compass pieces for evil appears to be based on the old video game twist of the item/s the main character collected actually being the key to the main villain's power (for example, the [[Crystal Stars]] awaken the [[Shadow Queen]], and the [[Cobalt Star]] awakens [[Elder Princess Shroob]].) | |||
*The Super Luigi series can be seen as the spiritual successor to [[Luigi's Diary]]. | |||
