“Just what I needed!”

—Luigi, Super Mario Advance

Luigi is Mario's younger brother who first appeared as a palette swap of Mario in Mario Bros. for the Arcade (and later, for the NES). He wears green instead of red and is taller and slimmer than Mario. While Mario is everyone's favorite superstars, Luigi is not nearly as well known among the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Countless times, especially in the Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi series, he is shown to be a coward, and rather clumsy. People in the Beanbean Kingdom never recognized him in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, simply referring to him as "greenie" or "the other guy". Several other games recognize that he is easily frightened. With his days on the NES as an exception, Luigi rarely goes on dangerous adventures when asked (fearing for his own safety), yet when Mario goes on one and nobody asks him, he is jealous.

Biography

Plumbing

Luigi went down to the sewers of Brooklyn during the events of Mario Bros.. Luigi's occupation was changed to a plumber in Brooklyn along with his brother's, which was more fitting with the pipe theme of the game. Here, Luigi with the help of his older brother, Mario, cleaned the Brooklyn sewers of monsters. This fact, along with both the cartoon series and movie, led many to believe that Brooklyn was Luigi's original home. Newer games and manuals, however, state that he grew up in the fictional Mushroom Kingdom, causing fans to speculate that as a baby, he was taken to the "Real World". It appears as though the idea that Luigi grew up in Brooklyn was truth, and, at any rate, in no actual Mario game does it say that Luigi grew up in Brooklyn, just the text manual and guides of various Mario games.

The New World

After going to through the pipe, in Super Mario Bros., Mario and Luigi arrived in the new place called the Mushroom Kingdom. When they got here, they heard that an evil king named Bowser had kidnapped the princess of the kingdom and some Toads.

Mario and Luigi decided to help the kidnapped princess and rescue her from the king of Koopas. The brothers fought many enemies, and defeated Bowser saving the princess and the Toads.

Both Mario and Luigi decided to stay with the princess in Mushroom Kingdom with the princess. Mario and Luigi thought, however, that Bowser was never going to return...

Dream or Not?

After a long day of working Mario and Luigi both got a house and went to sleep. That night Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad dreamed of being in a strange world called Subcon that was being attacked by King Wart.

Luigi, a long with his friends, decided to save this land known as Subcon. However after they went through various different worlds, defeated various enemies and bosses, and defeated Wart, Luigi woke up only to see this was a dream.

Bowser Returns!

After thinking Bowser was gone for good, he returned in his Airship now with his kids in Super Mario Bros. 3! He turned all of the kings in the Mushroom World into weird creatures, and made his kid's kings of the different lands!

Mario and Luigi were called to save the day again, and as heroes they went on another adventure to save the Mushroom Kingdom. After defeating the Koopalings, and turning the kings bac to their regular state, the brothers went to Dark Land to save the kidnapped Princess Peach.

After saving the princess once again from Bowser, Mario and Luigi returned to their home, in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Trip to Tropical Island

After Super Mario Bros. 3, Princess Peach decided that after Mario's hard work they should both go to Dinosaur Land. After going on a hot air balloon to the tropical island and landing Mario found Luigi there!

Luigi had found a magical Feather in the island that allwoed anyone who grabbed it to turn into cape form. Mario and Luigi both flew around Dinosaur Island. When they both returned they found Peach missing again!

In Super Mario World, Luigi was slower than Mario, but had a better jumping ability, similar to Yoshi's flutter kick move.

Where's Mario?

In Mario is Missing! Mario was kidnapped by Bowser and our green plumber Luigi had to find him. While in his adventure Luigi learned about geography, and battled Bowser's seven kids, and even went across the real world to find Mario!

This game was similar toWhere in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. Also because this game was an edutainment, many people say it was more of an insult to the green plumber, rather than an asset.

Luigi's Wish

While Luigi doesn't appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars in Star Hill Luigi made a wish that he wants to be a good plumber just like his big brother. In the ending of the game, Luigi is also the leader of the parade.

Mario Missing Again

During Luigi's Mansion, Luigi won a mansion in a contest he never entered. Luigi called Mario and asked him to visit the mansion, however Mario ot to the mansion first. When Luigi went to the mansion, Mario was nowhere to be found and ghosts haunted the mansion. Luigi met Professor E. Gadd and received the Poltergust 3000, a vacuum that sucks up ghosts.

Luigi went through the mansion, defeating many ghosts, in order to save Mario from the king of all Boos. After defeating all ghosts, the ghosts turned into painting. Luigi saw that Mario had been turned into a paitning but with the help of E. Gadd he was turned back into a human.

Brothers Again

After saving Mario in Luigi's Mansion, in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Luigi had to go in another mission. When Cackletta stole Princess Peach's voice Mario had to go to the Beanbean Kingdom to get it back.

Luigi wanted to stay, but Mario needed a lot of help in this mission so Mario carried Luigi. Mario and luigi used the Koopa Cruiser to get to the Beanbean Kingdom and save Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta and Fawful.

Paper Luigi

While Mario saved Princess Peach and got the Crystal Stars in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Luigi got a mission. After every chapter in the game, Mario can hear the story of Luigi in Rogueport.

While when telling Mario the story, Luigi exaggerates and tells some lies to make the story better. But Luigi's partners he gets, almost always secretly tell Mario what really happen. Also Luigi later gets interviewed and 5 Super Luigi books are sold.

Paper Luigi.

Luigi's adventure involved rescuing Princess Éclair of the Waffle Kingdom from the Chestnut King. Luigi's story sounded extremely similar to Mario's in most aspects. He usually messed up during his adventure, such as accidentally knocking his partner Blooey the Blooper into lava.

Oddly enough he also appears in the audience when in battle. He also cheers Mario on during the final battle with the Shadow Queen. One of the word bubbles says "YOU GO BRO" in green letters.

Luigi has appeared in New Super Mario Bros. as a hidden character and the second player in multiplayer. He goes on an adventure with Mario again to defeat Bowser, Bowser Jr., and get Peach back.

He also helps Mario (along with Yoshi and Wario) in Super Mario 64 DS. Luigi even has some special abilities of his own in this game.He goes with Mario and Wario to Peaches castle in the beginning of the game, and is then captured by king boo.

Luigi is also playable in the Mario Party and Mario Kart series, as well as the Mario sports games. He often gets his own course, usually the first and most simplistic course.

Super Smash Bros. series

Luigi is a secret, (unlockable), character in the Fighting genre game Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64.

He also appears as a secret character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the sequel for Super Smash Bros. Here is how to unlock him. Do Adventure Mode with anyone you want, make sure that the seconds are something that ends with 2, then before you battle Mario and Princess Peach there will be a slide show of Luigi taking Mario's place, then you battle Luigi and Peach instead, after you defeat Adventure mode you will defeat Luigi and then you can play him.

Luigi's voice

Luigi's voice has varied in various games, unlike his brother, who's voice has basically stayed the same since Super Mario 64. Luigi has had a high and low voice quality in many of his appearances. His voice sounds like Mario's but with a "mouse" type pitch to it. You can sample this in the Mario Partys when you choose him or get a star with him as your player. Two notable quotes he'd say are "Good Choice" (Mario Party 3) and "Yea Luigi has got it again!" (Mario Party 6).

The Green Plumber's age

His age is very controversial to many Mario fans. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island states him and Mario are twins, when in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 they refer to them as just brothers. It's also noted that he's Mario's younger brother, even when he out reaches his famous bro. In height. This could be a accident or purpose change.

Luigi's journey out of the gaming world

His first movie was an anime movie, The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach, later, he was played by John Leguizamo in the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
