Super Luigi (series)

From left to right, Books One through Five of the Super Luigi series.

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 Princess Éclair, 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.

After Chapter 4, Mario can buy the first volume of the series for sixty-four 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 Chapter 7. These books are sold for one-hundred and twenty-eight coins each. The last volume is sold for two-hundred and fifty-six coins after beating the game.

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 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.

The day dawned like any other, but little did Luigi know the letter he was about to receive would forever change his destiny.

          -4-msg_luigi_book1_txt5

"-Sir Luigi- Danger besets us on all sides, and we beg your help! The foul Chestnut King has stolen our treasure: our fair princess."

         -5-msg_luigi_book1_txt6

The letter was from Minister Crepe of the Waffle Kingdom, a man aware of Luigi's many adventures. He knew only Luigi could save them.

          -6-msg_luigi_book1_txt7

Charged with this dire task, Luigi wasted no time curtailing the heroic meal he was making. Then he packed for his deadly journey.

          -7-msg_luigi_book1_txt8

Knowing that his older, though less talented, brother was out on a no-doubt inconsequential errand, Luigi took a moment to leave a note.

          -8-msg_luigi_book1_txt9

"Mix a Keel Mango with a Peachy Peach to whip up a Fruit Parfait." These cryptic words were all Luigi wrote before leaving.

          -9-msg_luigi_book1_txt10

Upon reaching the Waffle Kingdom, Luigi was greeted by pure misery, an endless flow of tears over the kidnapping of Princess Eclair.

          -10-msg_luigi_book1_txt11

Arriving at the castle, Luigi was greeted by Minister Crepe, who carefully handed him a compass base with only one intact section.

          -11-msg_luigi_book1_txt12

"Our land had a second treasure: the Marvelous Compass. Find its seven parts, and find Eclair." So it began...

"It's a little warm," Luigi muttered, the sweat dripping from his brow as he followed the compass up Rumblebump Volcano's side.

          -2-msg_luigi_book2_txt3

"Must...find...the secret...grotto." While Luigi had guts to spare, he did need a guide, and he found one in Blooey, a Blooper he met in town.

          -3-msg_luigi_book2_txt4

Brave Blooey joined Luigi and instantly proved to be invaluable. With his aid, Luigi bested a savage statue that protected the treasure.

          -4-msg_luigi_book2_txt5

That treasure was none other than a piece of the Marvelous Compass, a piece that pointed west to Plumpbelly Village.

          -5msg_luigi_book2_txt6

The second Luigi saw Plumpbelly Village, he knew something was amiss. All was woe, and Luigi soon learned the reason why from the mayor.

          -6-msg_luigi_book2_txt7

The town was at the mercy of a sinister serpent, who demanded sacrificial lasses. Burning with indignation, Luigi formed a team of liberators.

          -7-msg_luigi_book2_txt8

A fierce Bob-omb warrior named Jerry joined his crew and chose, not surprisingly, to stick with Luigi for the duration of his quest for Eclair.

          -8-msg_luigi_book2_txt9

Fortified by his allies, Luigi strode on into the lair of the beast, a foul, two-headed snake. No time to think! Luigi sprang forth!

          -9-msg_luigi_book2_txt10

Twin heads snapped at his heels, fangs dripping venom! Then, as one mouth gaped wide to swallow Luigi, the other crept behind...

          -10-msg_luigi_book2_txt11

Our hero sensed the treachery, and feinted before leaping! The heads collided, and the beast ate itself! The prize? A compass piece!

         -11-msg_luigi_book2_txt12

The villagers begged their savior to stay with them, but a grim-faced Luigi pressed bravely onward.

Dauntless Luigi's next test came in the form of a kart race on Circuit Break Island, where he won both the contest and a compass piece.

          -2-msg_luigi_book3_txt3

The race was fraught with danger, but Luigi pressed through adversity to win! All viewers were awed by Luigi's revolutionary racing style.

          -3-msg_luigi_book3_txt4

The mechanic who built Luigi's racing machine, a Buzzy Beetle named Torque, was so stunned by Luigi's race techniques that he joined him.

          -4-msg_luigi_book3_txt5

Reinvigorated, Luigi set sail for Jazzafrazz Town, where he made his stage debut! Hayzee, a noted Dayzee producer, gave Luigi a key role.

          -5-msg_luigi_book3_txt6

Playing the part of an earth spirit to pure perfection, Luigi stole the show. Hayzee's faith in Luigi's natural acting talents was rewarded.

          -6-msg_luigi_book3_txt7

The performance won a prize, which yielded another compass piece. Hayzee turned from teacher to pupil, joining Luigi on his quest.

          -7-msg_luigi_book3_txt8

It was at this time that Luigi's heart, usually draped in the cool comfort of a hero's resolve, began to warm with thoughts of Princess Eclair.

          -8-msg_luigi_book3_txt9

This came to be because every time the magic compass pointed to a new place, her gentle words rang in his ears, touching him to his very soul.

          -9-msg_luigi_book3_txt10

The voice spoke of eternity, of stars in the heavens. It wept for those blind to love. It gave comfort in the face of fear and loneliness.

          -10-msg_luigi_book3_txt11

Though he had never seen her, our hero was tormented by visions of this fair-hearted maiden. All he could do was press onward.

          -11-msg_luigi_book3_txt12

The compass pointed toward Rapturous Ruins. Only two parts of the compass awaited, and Eclair had one...

Footsore and weary, Luigi finally found the Rapturous Ruins beyond Grimble Forest. Within them, time and space were lost in nothingness.

       -2-msg_luigi_book4_txt3

Within the pale emptiness, Luigi found a young sleeping boy. Our hero called out gently, and the youth woke from his long, long slumber.

          -3-msg_luigi_book4_txt4

"My name is Cranberry, and I've waited for you for the last thousand years." The boy went on to tell Luigi the secret truths of an ancient land.

          -4-msg_luigi_book4_txt5

He said that the Marvelous Compass had been created by the ancient Luff people, who used its powers of foretelling to rule the world.

          -5-msg_luigi_book4_txt6

But the Luff empire was then cursed by the compass, and fell into ruin... The survivors dismantled the compass and hid its pieces.

          -6-msg_luigi_book4_txt7

Cranberry was the last of the ancient race. His role was to wait until one with a noble heart came to take the burden of the future.

          -7-msg_luigi_book4_txt8

None but Luigi could have shouldered this weight. The boy gave him the compass piece, and said, "Fear the curse, but find your Eclair."

          -8-msg_luigi_book4_txt9

Luigi accepted the part, the boy's words burned into his brain. His duty fulfilled, the boy began to fade into the blank nothingness...

          -9-msg_luigi_book4_txt10

As he faded from sight, a look of joy lit Cranberry's face. As Luigi gaped, both boy and ruins vanished, leaving our hero in a dark wood.

          -10-msg_luigi_book4_txt11

With six of the parts united, the compass now pointed to the final part... To the quest's end... To Hatesong Tower. And then, her voice spoke...

          -11-msg_luigi_book4_txt12

Princess Eclair's voice begged for help from the void, pleading for a hero. Luigi's heart burst aflame...

At long last, Luigi crossed the threshold of Hatesong Tower. Luigi rallied his allies. "We will defeat the Chestnut King. We must!"

          -2-msg_luigi_book5_txt3

Friends by his side, Luigi at last faced the fell Chestnut King...but then he heard a voice, and spun to see the fair Princess Eclair.

         -3-msg_luigi_book5_txt4

She told our hero the painful truth: the "evil" Chestnut King was actually her true love, made monstrous by Crepe in a bid for the throne.

          -4-msg_luigi_book5_txt5

At that moment, the villainous Crepe appeared. "The Marvelous Compass, please. Hand it over, and the Luff empire will rule again! Mwa ha!"

          -5-msg_luigi_book5_txt6

Luigi and Co. were no match for the might of Crepe, their true enemy. But then, the compass piece in Eclair's tiara shone forth!

          -6-msg_luigi_book5_txt7

It bestowed the future-sight on Luigi! Knowing Crepe's every move, he smote the fiend with his mallet! And with that...it was all finally over.

          -7-msg_luigi_book5_txt8

Luigi and his friends parted, leaving the Waffle Kingdom in peace. But Luigi regretted not gazing farther into the future...

        -8-msg_luigi_book5_txt9

He longed to see the Wafflers gathering on Princess Eclair's wedding day... He wanted to see her beauty, and who stood at her side...

          -9-msg_luigi_book5_txt10

But it was not to be. Luigi went back to his humble home, which remained exactly as he had left it, a cold comfort for his heavy heart.

          -10-msg_luigi_book5_txt11

Taking up a book he had been reading, Luigi tried to read, but his long trial had sapped his strength, and he soon fell asleep.

          -11-msg_luigi_book5_txt12

Luigi dreamt of his friends and his beloved Princess Eclair. And sleeping, Luigi spoke... "I shall return."
