Editing Talk:Luigi

=='Negative' Impact==
I recently added to the '''abilities''' section a mention on the Negative Zone final smash and its possible corelation to his becoming Mr. L in SPM. But I just now found it to be removed. If someone could tell me if it is because it is merely a theory, or if it was because of something else, that'd be helpful. [[User:BoomOfThe4thWall]]

it's just a theory, otherwise the game would mention it somewhere.

==Age==
Is it possible that Mario and Luigi are twins, but Mario is older by X minutes? [[User:HK-47|HK]]

:Yes. It's possible. --[[User:Son of Suns|Son of Suns]] 13:33, 29 June 2006 (EDT)

Im just thinking that that is how is they how they are twins, AND one is older. (This previously unsigned comment was made by [[User:HK-47|HK-47]].)

Well, the Mario games don't exactly have perfect continuity.  For one thing, Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, and Birdos were both dreams in SMB2, but they're real in other games.  (Most likely, Mario knew about them before his dream, and that's why he dreamed about them.)

For this one, the theories are that: a) Baby Mario & Baby Luigi are different from Mario & Luigi.  Highly unlikely.

b) Mario's older by a few minutes.  More likely.

c) Nintendo retconned the info seen in Yoshi's Island, or forgot all about it when they described Luigi as the younger.  Likely, but not as likely as B.

So, either B or C.
[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|Waluigi Freak 99]] 14:45, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

:Well, Mario did encounter those enemies as a baby in ''Yoshi's Island'', so it is logical that he would dream about them. Also, Nintendo did retcon ''Yoshi's Island'' in the GBA release. In the beginning of the game, instead of refering to Mario and Luigi as twins (like in SNES version), Mario and Luigi are simply called brothers. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Funny how people don't realise that twins can't be born at the exact same time. Of course one is older than the other. It can be by minutes or hours.

In my opinion, I think Nintendo made a mistake when they said they were twins. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

:I think so too. In the Japanese games, it clearly states Mario is older that Luigi, and most likely not twins. {{User:Super Luigi Sunshine/sig}}

{{unsigned|PrincessDaisyROX}}

In Yoshi's Island, they were carried by the stork at the same time, so they probably are twins. Mario certainly is some minutes older than Luigi. I think in one of the episodes of "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3", Luigi says it. --[[User:Xeze|Xeze]] 13:43, 21 November 2008 (EST)

I always thought Mario is 31 and Luigi is 28. So that would mean Mario is older than Luigi by a few years. But Mario just seems older to me for some reason. [[Image:SPP Beta - Lemmy Animation.gif]] [[User:Lemmy Koopa Fan]] [[Image:SPP Beta - Lemmy Animation.gif]]

It doesn't seem like they could be twins. [[User:BulletBill|BulletBill]] 12:57, 7 November 2011 (EST)

I always thought that Mario & Luigi were twins, and that Mario was older by 30 minuets. Plus, Super Mario '''BROS''' sounds better than Super Mario '''TWINS''', so they probably are twins and not just bros. Plus they look almost exactly the same. Even though they're bros they wouldn't look THAT closely alike unless they were twins!

--{{User:Pichi-Hime6/sig}} 14:44, 7 November 2011 (EST)
:They don't look that much alike. In some games if you look really closely, you'll notice that Luigi's overalls are a slightly darker shade than Mario's, and Luigi wears green and Mario wears red, the each have their own symbol (a red M for Mario and a green L for Luigi), Luigi is slightly taller and thinner and even their mustaches are different. Also, Mario and Luigi don't usually speak like other characters, but Luigi does it a bit more than Mario, as only Luigi would speak English in Super Paper Mario. They also weren't born at the same time. And twins don't have to look alike. Just because Mario and Luigi look alike doesn't mean they're twins![[User:M&amp;L|M&amp;L  Beware my fury!]] 12:49, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Well, of course they're gonna wear different outfits! And unless they're IDENTICAL twins, their physical features would always look a little different. How do you know they weren't born at the same time? Plus, doesn't Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games say they're twins? Plus, Luvbi says they're twins in SPM. All the signs point to them being twins, so until Nintendo gives info that says otherwise, I say they're twins. <br>
P.S.: They were carried by the stork at the same time in Yoshi's Island, and their bond was so strong that Baby Mario new where Baby Luigi was when Kamek kidnapped Baby Luigi.

Why has this picture been deleted?? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 06:56, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

:I myself am not sure. According to the deletion log, {{User|KPH2293}}, who is VERY trustworthy and all that, deleted it on the claims that it was unused, despite the fact that the page links to it even now. It's no problem, though; I'll just re-upload the image.

*Actually it's matter of opinion. I personally think the "remake" is in the same continuity as the original and they both happened at different times. the DS adventure could have happened after Paper Mario and the original happened before for all we know. -- {{user:WarioLoaf/sig}} 01:37, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

'''Option 3'''

{{quote|That's Mama Luigi to you Mario!|Luigi|Super Mario World (TV series)|Super Mario World}}

====Option 1====
{{User:Knife/sig}} 13:56, 15 December 2007 (EST) Quote from a better known game

[[User:SiFi|SiFi]], Youtube poops mean nothing on this wiki. Though I always thought "I'm my bro's bro." was a good one.

[[User:Lavender|Lavender]], "I'm my bro's bro" is from Super Paper Mario. Not youtube. And, "that's mama luigi to you mario" was actually in the show, there may be a lot of youtube poops for that episode, but Luigi really says that.

====Option 2====
'''Oppose.''' More people know this quote from the intro to ''Garfield and Friends'' than from ''Hotel Mario''. Besides, it's already the quote on [[Spaghetti]] by now. --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] 17:44, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

'''Support.''' So? It still reflects Luigi's personality.--[[User:Koopapoopa|Koopapoopa]] 00:55, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

====Option 3====

I think this option should be because:
1.)mario could just change Luigi to mario
and
2.)Mario could have easily said te same thing. in fact, both of them could have said it
{{User:Chandud}}

== vote for the Main quote ==

I think that "I'm my bro's bro" from super paper mario is a better one, because it shows luigi's personality, in every game i've played luigi calls mario "bro". option one is from mario kart and crossovers, option two sounds more like mario then luigi, and option 3 only applies to one episode of super mario world.

::You're right. The aticle would mention in the first few sentences that it was really Luigi, but it's pretty obvious.

But that doesn't really matter, there's a ton of spoilers on the wiki and not much to do about it. But a Mr. L article sounds like a good idea to me. Anyone want to make it?

:::A Mr. L article would definatly work.

==Interactions with other characters==
I think that instead of King boo being under interactions with other characters, ghosts should be stated.  Because since Luigi's Manison, Luigi has had a connection with not just King Boo, but with ghosts in general.  An example would be that Luigi was trapped in the Ghostly Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy.  I would have went ahead and changed it, but I thought that some people might prefer that a specific individual be listed instead of a species.  I just wanted to get some opinions on this.  {{User:White Knight/sig}}
:But, that would be like saying "Mario has an interaction with Koopas" in general. Just because Luigi fights them, doesn't mean they have a connection. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}

In [[Mario Superstar Baseball]], Luigi shares bad chemistry with not just King Boo, but also with Boo.  Where as Mario doesn't share bad chemistry with Koopas or Goombas.  {{User:White Knight/sig}}

King Boo is basically the guy that hates Weege the most, kind of like goomboss/bowser and Mario. King Boo captured Weege in Mario 64 DS, and Goomboss captured mario. I think maybe an interaction with ghosts in general and a subheading with King Boo.--[[User:Koopapoopa|Koopapoopa]] 00:50, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

the thing in mario superstar baseball is because luigi is scared of ghosts and mario isn't scared of koopas or goombas (or anything =P). and koopapoopa, it's spelled "weegee". {{unsigned|Luigi time!}}

The one with Wario and Rosalina are both a bit pointless (mainly the Wario one) since he's more of a rival with Waluigi, and he really and truly only doesn't really interact with Rosalina apart from when you can play as him and his ending photo.

"When Luigi finally went on a quest of his own in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he's presented as be '''more arrogant''' and somewhat of a '''liar''', as he changes the stories of his adventure to make himself look better;"

Isn't that a little too harsh? Sure he changed some things in his story but I think he only did this to make his brother proud of him.

And as for his novel: It can not undoubtedly be confirmed that Luigi made that exaggerated edits. It might have been the author as well in an attempt to make his story sound more read-worthy.

==information actually about Luigi==

In the sections for various games, it just says things like, "mario and luigi travelled through 8 worlds, blah blah blah..." and doesn't give that much information about Luigi himself, like how he throws the shell on the title screen of Mario 3,etc. --[[User:Koopapoopa|Koopapoopa]] 01:02, 18 May 2010 (EDT)
:That's one of the reasons why the article has a rewrite template. Feel free to help improve the article by adding more facts actually related to Luigi and removing unrelated information; if the article talks about things unrelated to the subject, that's only because nobody has taken the time to rewrite those sections yet. Keep in mind when adding things though that the style used for most of the article is not conform to the current quality standards; information should be written in the present tense, speculation, fanon and dramatic writing styles should be absent.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 15:15, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

The article currently says that Luigi controls differently in Super Mario Bros. 3 (as he does in some other games).

I have SMA4. Only reason I edited that Luigi controls differently is because [[User:Reversinator|another editor]] said so and I'm sorta more Sonic-ish than Mario-ish... but I've seen some videos on Youtube and in the original SMB3, Luigi didn't seem to slip or slide any more than Mario did, and I'm pretty sure jump height is the same. I'll try to get it for the Virtual Console and see if I spot any differences. Sorry if I began (or continued...) any confusion. --[[User:SuperSonicRider|SuperSonicRider]] 22:37, 31 May 2010 (EDT)

==2 Sections==
How come there are 2 sections named "''Super Mario World''"? I think one of them has to be renamed. {{User:Ultramariologan/sig}}
:There are two sections because there are two things named 'Super Mario World". The sub-sections of History that they are listed under make it pretty clear which one's which: the one in the "''Super Mario'' series" section is about the game ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and the other one, in the "DIC cartoons" section, is about the cartoon ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]''. It doesn't disrupt wiki navigation either (if you want to link straight to the second one, type [[Luigi#Super_Mario_World_2]], while [[Luigi#Super_Mario_World]] goes to the first; the TOC works fine as well). It's not a problem and no renaming is necessary. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 23:12, 15 January 2011 (EST)

==Merge [[Casanova Koopa]] with [[Luigi]]==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|6-1|merge}}
This proposal is to merge Cassanova Koopa with Luigi. I tried this a couple weeks ago, but it was confusing. But I got the hang of it. Anyway, I think we should merge these two pages because if Kootie Pie's human form should be put in Wendy O's page than so should Cassanova Koopa with Luigi.

====Support====
#{{User|Zero777}} I am Zero! Yeah, why was that removed, anyways, per proposal. Zero signing out.
#{{User|Marioguy1}} - Casanova Koopa is not notable enough to get its own article when there is an alternative way to do this.
#{{User|Supremo78}} If Casanova Koopa is a form of Luigi that was used, it should be included in his article, just like Mr. L is included in Luigi's article.
#{{User|SWFlash}} Per Marioguy.
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all. We [[Talk:Leo_Luster|merged Leo Luster]], so we should merge this too.
#{{User|Pokémon Trainer Mario}} - Per all. It's a stub that someone forgot to stub.

====Oppose====
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Leo Luster was just whichever Kong who's name escapes me in a costume. If I'm not mistaken, Casanova Koopa is Luigi in a magical transformation.

[[Robo Koopa]]. It's a featured article, and an alter-ego. If we have that article, why can't we have this one? And for an example with Luigi, [[Mr. L]]. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
:It's probably going by the logic that merged [[Talk:Leo_Luster|Leo Luster]] with Bluster Kong. I personally would love to see all those personae merged into [[King Koopa's alter egos]] (but maybe give the chart a "summary" section to briefly describe each alter-ego and its role in the corresponding episode). Most of them don't have articles yet anyway, and I feel that lengthy summaries like on [[Robo Koopa]] are a bit unnecessary: people can just read the episode summaries. Video game alter-egos have a bit more to stand on, seeing as their summaries aren't just rehashing a single game's summary, in most cases, but I'd be fine with merging things like [[Dark Fawful]], [[Bowletta]], [[Shrowser]] and possibly even [[Mr. L]], although given the fact that "Mr. L" played such an important role in ''SPM'', I'd also be fine with that article staying. Same deal with [[Dr. Mario]]: he's not a one-hit wonder, and not giving him his own page would look like an omission on our part. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 10:40, 4 February 2011 (EST)
::In my opinion, Robo Koopa should be merged as it is not notable enough to warrant its own article. But Bowletta, Dark Fawful (don't know who Shrowser is) and Mr. L are all main villains of a game. Robo Koopa appeared as the villain during one episode of a TV show. Bowletta, Dark Fawful, etc. are the main villains of their own games. They should remain split (IMO). {{User|Marioguy1}}

== Split a SMG Luigi into a new article ==
{{settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|failed|0-5-14|split neither}}
This kinda came up incidentally in a discussion on Boom Boom's talk page, and I think it's a valid point. There are two Luigis in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and they look different. Therefore, one of them should be split to a different page, {{fake link|Luigi (Super Mario Galaxy)}}, kinda like the [[Pink Donkey Kong Jr.]] article, though the differences are far more drastic there. I think the important question is which one, however.

'''Proposer''': {{User|1337star}}<br>
'''Deadline''': January 15, 2013, 23:59 GMT.

===Split the playable Luigi===

===Split the NPC Luigi===
#{{User|Walkazo}} - They look different (not as different than Pink DKJr., but it's better than nothing), talk to each other, and Rosalina calls the extra one Luigi's "twin". Yeah, the game doesn't really get into it much beyond that, but like we always say, there's nothing wrong with a short article if there's not much info to go on. Speculating about the how and why of the Luigi twin would be wrong, but we don't ''have'' to do that to get an article out of the subject. Plus, as we've seen with the recent pushes for level articles and whatnot, it's good to have lots of articles - as long as they're about worthwhile subjects, and this little quirk seems worthy to me (and maybe other people think it's interesting too, and try to look up info about it on Google). Regarding some of the opposition (not including the votes that don't know what the TPP is even about), like I said on the Boom Boom talk page, comparing ''SSB'' game mechanics to the ''Super Mario'' series is apples and oranges: it doesn't matter what your in-universe beliefs are, this matter simply isn't anything like the duplicate fighters of ''SSB''. This also doesn't mean something must be done about the extra Mario in ''DKJr.'', because again, it's not the same situation: ''SMG'' treats the extra Luigi as an extra Luigi, but to my knowledge, ''DKJr.'' doesn't treat the other Mario as... anything, really, so even asserting that it ''is'' meant to be a second Mario ''would'' be speculation - unlike the extra Luigi, there isn't really ''anything'' that could be cobbled together into a factual article, AFAIK: no dialogue, no difference in appearance, no lampshade-hanging, no nothing. But this? This ''has'' stuff to go on, and we should, y'know, go on it.

===Split neither (a.k.a. do nothing)===
#{{User|Brock}} Oppose: there is no reason to split a single character by game. He is still the same character. If you must, you can create a paragraph referring to said character on his character page referring to any differences in personality/characterization/etc on his page. Anything specific to the games belongs in the games articles themselves, not on a separate character page. ~Brock.
#{{User|Marshal Dan Troop}} No what's next splitting paper mario because he looks different, splitting the Mario in DKJR because there are two of them, splitting Luigi in Wrecking Crew because he's purple, creating a Mario (species) page again because there's multiple Mario's in smash bros. I guess what i'm saying is that I oppose because Nintendo gives no confirmation that they are different characters.
#{{User|RandomYoshi}} &mdash; They are still the same character. Luigi is an NPC in many, many games. Does that mean that every time he is an NPC, the page should be split? No, it doesn't. Just as long as we have it confirmed that it's Luigi, which we in fact have in this case, it should stay on the same page.
#{{User|Bop1996}} Per all
#{{User|Smasher}} - Per all.
#{{User|Sunscreen}} - Per all.
#{{User|World10}} Per all.
#{{User|1337star}} Whatever, I don't care anymore. I still feel that they are separate characters, and the game itself says this, but this proposal obviously won't go anywhere. Per all, I guess.
#{{User|Zero777}} Oppose, and not for any of the above reasons, which I believe are wrong, except for one. I believe splitting it up will make the SMG Luigi article very unprofessional, with little info on it besides cosmetic differences; it's not article-worthy is basically what I am saying. This kind of information belongs in a small explanation on Luigi's article and/or the SMG article.
#{{User|BowserJunior}} Per all.
#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} Per all
#{{user|NewSMBU}} Are you sure the two Luigis are '''so''' different because they talk to each other and Rosalina calls the clone Luigi's ''twin'', so they must be split?
#{{User|MegaKoopa}} They're almost the same one...
#{{User|Gamefreak75}} Per all.

===Comments===
To the (surprisingly numerous in quite a short span of time!) people opposing: how do you account for the fact that dialogue supports that the two Luigis are different people? Or that the two Luigis look different? -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User talk:1337star|Mailbox SP]])</sup> 14:38, 1 January 2013 (EST)
:Well, 1337star, how do you define that they look different? Doesn't the Luigi from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' look different from the Luigi found in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', for example? Should they then be split into different articles, as well? {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 14:48, 1 January 2013 (EST)
::But those Luigis aren't in the same game at the same time. These are. And, to stem off the ''Super Smash Bros.'' argument, those aren't the actual characters, but toys (the first game) or trophies (''Melee'' and ''Brawl''), rather than real, flesh-and-blood people. -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User talk:1337star|Mailbox SP]])</sup> 14:56, 1 January 2013 (EST)
:::To my understanding, you think that splitting this article because something you, '''a fan''', saw that is not confirmed by any official source ever from Nintendo, '''where this Wiki takes all of its information from''' and considers canotial information. There is no policy backing up your claims here. We cannot conclude that they are different characters until Nintendo has confirmed the opposite, so for now we'll let this article be. {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 15:01, 1 January 2013 (EST)

No 1337 you are wrong according to the wiki Smash Bros. is canon therefore those are in fact Luigi's that you are fighting. {{User|Marshal Dan Troop}}

:I didn't say ''Super Smash Bros.'' isn't canon. I said that the Luigi (and other characters) in that game aren't the same as in the main ''Mario'' series, by the simple fact that he's a toy/trophy and not a real human being (and no, I don't think the ''Smash Bros.'' info should be split. Trophy!Luigi and real!Luigi don't appear in the same game.) I'm pretty sure there's something somewhere on the Dojo that says something to this effect, though I don't feel like looking due to this not being all that relevant here. -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User talk:1337star|Mailbox SP]])</sup> 15:32, 1 January 2013 (EST)

The thing is, the game doesn't offer any reason why there are two Luigis there at all, so there's not really anything we can say to claim anything other than there's a Luigi in exactly the same place and situations the Luigi in Mario's SMG storyline is, which is what we already do. It's almost impossible to claim anything else about the two Luigis without falling into speculation simply because of how lightly the game treats the subject, and that's really all there is to it. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}

:I personally don't see how this situation is different than Donkey Kong Jr./Pink Donkey Kong Jr., but whatever. Consensus is obviously against this, so I'm unofficially withdrawing it (can't officially withdraw it because there's too many votes). -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User talk:1337star|Mailbox SP]])</sup> 15:32, 1 January 2013 (EST)

I think most of the people didn't understand the proposal. In Super Mario Galaxy, we can see two different Luigi at the same time. They even talk to each other. They look a bit different. The proposal is not "Well, in SMG Luigi is a bit different so we should split" but "Well, in SMG there are two Luigis different, so we should split". {{User:Banon/sig}} 15:52, 1 January 2013 (EST)

1337star, you could just delete this or ask an admin to, since you're even voting against your own proposal. [[User:Aokage|Aokage]] ([[User talk:Aokage|talk]]) 16:29, 1 January 2013 (EST)

"''To the (surprisingly numerous in quite a short span of time!)''"

Looking at the voters, what probably happened is that someone on the chat dropped a link here based on the title and the usual suspects voted en masse without actually bothering to read the description. Business as usual.

Anyway, I'll just echo what Bop1996 said, I don't feel a split is necessary as what you can essentialy say about the 2nd Luigi is "There's a 2nd Luigi in some missions in Super Mario Galaxy. He has slightly different textures and the game treat him as a separate character". Nothing that isn't already stated with enough depth in the SMG section of this article, imo. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 16:37, 1 January 2013 (EST)

:::People didn't read the proposal and thought this was about splitting the galaxy Luigi because he's NPC or something (see Brock and RandomYoshi; others just went "Per all").

In the last paragraph of "Creation and Development", it states that the Year of Luigi is celebrating his '''thirteenth''' anniversary. It should actually say thirtieth.

Granted in DKjr he didn't have his trademark green clothes yet, instead dressing identically to Mario, but who else could it possibly have been helping Mario with the captured Donkey Kong? Then when they made Mario Bros and brought him back they had to make him look different since it was 2 player simultaneous and players had to know who was who, so they changed his coloring, but he definitely had to be the "2nd Mario" in DKjr even if all his trademark characteristics hadn't been ironed out yet (sort of how Mario was called Jumpman in the first DK, but it's still Mario's first appearance).[[Special:Contributions/76.226.130.212|76.226.130.212]] 20:41, 17 January 2014 (EST)

== Quote ==

I think Luigi deserves a better highlighted quote than the one posted already. What about one of his lines from ''Mario Kart 64''? How about more recent ones such as "Oh yeah, Luigi like-a that!" from ''Mario Party 7'', or even his first line in ''[[Super Maio 3D World]]'' where he ends it with "Go Green"? They sound much better than the quote from Fortune Street and Luigi has famous lines just as good as Mario's ''It's a me, Mario!''

:We're not using this quote because it's "famous". We're using it because it gives some insight into Luigi's character and personality, which is probably what I should have said in the edit summary, but oh well.

== Luigi is silent ==
Okay, guys, I am very much convinced that Luigi is overall a silent character just like Mario, and for the most part, he's only a little bit more talkative than Mario. The only games where he really speaks are the ''Mario Galaxy'' games and the first three ''Paper Mario'' games. Other than that, he just speaks like Mario: silent, gibberish, grunts and yells, or not at all. Because of this, he should have a "silent" quote just like Mario does. {{User:Lcrossmk8/sig}} 21:49, 14 December 2017 (EST)

:::lolwut.....anyways, he's silent in games where everyone pantomimes everything, but he's by far the more vocal of the two. Also, you leave out the first ''Luigi's Mansion'', and even then, most games in the series have the main protagonist(s) not say all that much. He also talks in many of the older instruction manuals, especially for ''Super Mario RPG''.

::::What I don't follow is why we need to have a shallow quote just because Luigi doesn't talk as much as other characters. Barely anyone talks at all in the 2D platformers, but that doesn't affect anything. Toad's quote isn't "Oh no!" The whole point of the quote to give a bit of insight into the character's personality and a shallow, generic-sounding quote doesn't do that.
:::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 00:21, 18 December 2017 (EST)
@Doc von Schmeltwick: Yeah, I know, but that's it. Other than that, he talks just like Mario. It's not that much of a gap at all. And besides, we're only counting games here, not instruction manuals. Yeah, I know, but if the character doesn't talk in the game, then he or she just doesn't talk in that game. And Black Lightning, if that is the case, then why do we have a silent quote for Mario? Is it because he doesn't have a personality at all? That's just bull right there. He does have a personality, it's just very simple and not expanded not very much. I feel like Luigi, although being more human and distinct, is just like Mario for the most part. After all, the Mario Bros ''are'' twins, after all. {{User:Lcrossmk8/sig}} 00:30, 18 December 2017 (EST)

Here's my two cents: You can't say Luigi is 100% silent (we're talking Link silent) if he talks in Paper Mario. One can say whenever you play as Luigi, he qualifies as a silent protagonist, but when you hear about his adventures in The Thousand-Year Door or hear him mumbling about furniture in the original Luigi's Mansion, or all those lines in Fortune Street, I guess, you cannot say Luigi is just one of Nintendo's silent protagonists. - [[User:AwdryFan1997|AwdryFan1997]]([[User talk:AwdryFan1997|Talk]])

== Mario and Luigi  ==

On Mario’s page it mentions that his species is Homo Nintendonus. By this logic Luigi’s page should be altered to reflect their shared species as they are brother who presumably share parents. 

Additionally we should change all humans in the Mario and Luigi series to H. Nitendonus (or however it is spelled in the booklet that the Mario page is referencing) as this would better reflect the canon of the Mario Brothers.

:Besides, such a reference to Mario's 'species' comes from an old character bible used by Nintendo of America specifically; it was written and used for an internal reference in 1993, and nothing has been mentioned of it since then, and I'd imagine there's at least more stuff referring to Mario as human in comparison.

==Split {{fake link|Luigi's Twin}} from [[Luigi]]==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|failed|2-3-17|Do not split Luigi's Twin from Luigi}}
This split was brought up more than a decade ago in [[Talk:Luigi#Split a SMG Luigi into a new article|this proposal]] but the proposer failed to clarify what he meant and it was misinterpreted by those who opposed it. When playing as [[Luigi]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the NPC Luigi that you'd normally rescue when playing as [[Mario]] still shows up and has completely different dialogue when speaking to the playable Luigi. [[Rosalina]] refers to the NPC Luigi as the playable Luigi's "twin". This would mean the inverse would be true as well; The playable Luigi is the NPC Luigi's twin. For those who opposed in the past proposal on this topic, this proposal would <span style="color:red">'''not'''</span> be splitting every appearance of Luigi into different articles, it would <span style="color:red">'''only'''</span> be splitting the Luigi who '''quite literally''' appears in the same room as the playable Luigi. The playable and NPC Luigi have different heights and one is silent and is more brave and courageous whereas the other is more cautious and has a lot to say. Regarding which Luigi to split into the {{fake link|Luigi's Twin}} article, we could split either into the article since there is not confirmation on which is the real Luigi and which is the impostor. However, I would consider the playable Luigi to be the "twin" since the NPC Luigi's actions are much more accurate to Luigi's character and we see Luigi show up in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as an NPC before said NPC is later unlocked as a playable character.

#{{User|Pizza Master}} Per my proposal.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per proposal.

===Support (Split NPC Luigi as {{fake link|Luigi's Twin}})===
#{{User|Pizza Master}} Secondary choice.
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} This makes more sense to us, personally. The idea seems to be that the NPC Luigi is the "Twin", while the Luigi you play as is just Luigi. The memetic pop-up ''does'' say "You can now play as Luigi", after all, not "You can now play as Luigi's Twin" or anything like that. If we have to give this weird phenomenon an article (and to be honest here, we think it has some merit covering this weirdness in its own article), this feels like the simpler--and probably more logical--split to make.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Secondary choice, per all.

===Oppose===
#{{User|Nintendo101}} This proposal misapplies a narrative framing device in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' made by the developers to justify the inclusion of a playable Luigi - a decision made when the game was nearly completed, with the original intent being that the NPC Luigi would be the only Luigi - to suggest one of these Luigis is a discrete character from the other. This is not the case. It is not supported in the game's script or its paratext (guidebook, booklet, interview, encyclopedia, official websites, etc.), and does not consider the fact that there have been multiple iterations of the same character on screen throughout the franchise's history — from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' to the [[ScareScraper]] mode in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. Both playable and non-playable iterations of Luigi in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' are the same character, and neither should receive a dedicated article from the other.
#{{User|Hewer}} From what I can gather, the game treats them both as Luigi and is very vague about the matter, to the point that any split would feel speculative (the whole last sentence of this proposal is pure speculation, which isn't a good sign). It's possible to have more than one of the same character; the logic of "there's two of them so they must be separate characters" (also used for the former "Boom Boom species" split) shouldn't be applied to a franchise like this one that often doesn't bother trying to make narrative sense, hence the "[[MarioWiki:Good writing#Reading between the lines|don't read between the lines]]" rule. Also note that both of the other cases brought up in the original proposal, Boom Boom and Pink Donkey Kong Jr., have since been merged (the latter being especially notable given the "Junior (II)" distinction in the manual, comparable to the "twin" thing).

#{{User|YoYo}} See it like this, if I was playing Mario Kart as Bowser, and I encounter another Bowser, does that suddenly mean we should create a page for both Bowsers? It's the same character it's just two instances of them, arguably "Super Luigi Galaxy" isn't "canon".

===Comments===
Camwoodstock's argument makes sense as a (mostly) non-speculative way to split the two Luigis. Also, the NPC Luigi is actually referred to by something other than simply Luigi ("your twin" by [[Rosalina]]) that would imply that the two characters are different people unlike with "Pink Donkey Kong Jr./Jr (II)" where the Pink one is just implied to be the P2 version of [[DKJR]]. Also, the playable [[Luigi]] races against [[Cosmic Luigi]] and functions almost identically to [[Mario]] whereas the NPC Luigi does their own thing and finds hidden stars that the player can't find. NPC Luigi (or Luigi's twin) in this argument functions more as a mechanic of the game than the actual Luigi and therefore should be documented as a minor mechanic (that is also a character) of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' akin to the [[Co-Star Luma]] or [[Ally|Allies]] of the [[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]] series.--{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 16:53, September 29, 2024 (EDT)
:Any speculation should ideally be avoided, big or small. And Luigi's roles (and degree of similarity to Mario) vary often between games. Luigi being an NPC side character is hardly unheard of (Super Mario Odyssey, Mario RPG, most Paper Mario games, etc.). {{User:Hewer/sig}} 17:02, September 29, 2024 (EDT)
::At least in our vote's case, we would appreciate a split for the Luigi NPC that happens to also be there if you, yourself, are playing as Luigi; since Rosalina claims it's his twin, and that seems to be about as official explanation as we're about to get. We do admit that this is a comically niche article, but we still think it has more merit than Junior (II), who was quite literally just a palette swap that received zero acknowledgement as being unique outside the manual. In contrast, the "duplicate" NPC Luigi being described as the playable Luigi's twin ''is'' given a direct comment. {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 03:25, September 30, 2024 (EDT)
:::{{@|Camwoodstock}} I personally do not think there should be any split because I think it misrepresents ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and Luigi's roles in the game. However, if anything, the NPC is the one designed to be the only Luigi in the game and has his traditional proportions. The playable one was a late addition to the title, and has the same model as Mario to make it easier to include.

== "The secondary protagonist of the Super Mario franchise" ==

I agree wholeheartedly that Luigi is the second biggest figure in the franchise, but, not to be a nerd here, I think the better term would be "deuteragonist", as the deuteragonist is the second most important character in a story, and that's basically what Luigi is. That would make "deuteragonist" and "secondary protagonist" the same thing. [[Special:Contributions/98.114.59.56|98.114.59.56]] 17:41, December 13, 2024 (EST)
