- “I'm-a Luigi, number one!”
- —Luigi, Mario Kart 64
Luigi(Sometime's called Green Guy, Mr.Green, or Green 'Stache in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.) 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 superstar, 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
Early Life
- Main Article: Baby Luigi
During the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, he and the stork carrying him to his parents was captured and held by the evil Magikoopa, Kamek. Fortunately, they were rescued by Baby Mario (who had escaped abduction) and the heroic Yoshis. Baby Luigi also appears as a damsel in distress in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island's sequel, Yoshi's Island DS.
Plumbing
Luigi's first appearance was in Mario Bros. where he was simply a pallete swap of Mario, with the same controls and abilities.
In this game, Luigi and Mario were portrayed as plumbers. While working in the sewers one day, the Bros. found the pipes infested with Shellcreepers, Slipicees, and many other monstrous creatures. The Brothers attacked the monsters and were eventually able to cleanse the sewers of them.
The New World
In Super Mario Bros.(which took place directly after the original), after Mario and Luigi fought the monsters, they found a special pipe that took them to the Mushroom Kingdom. They were told by the Mushroom King that an evil king named Bowser (who actually met as a baby) had kidnapped the princess of the kingdom and her Mushroom Retainers.
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 Mushroom Retainers.
Then, in The Lost Levels, the bros. were once again called too save the Princess from the Koopa Troop. This time, Luigi could jump higher and further than Mario, but had less traction.
Both Mario and Luigi decided to stay with the princess in the Mushroom Kingdom.
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.
The next morning the four friends decide to go on a picnic, and stumble upon the very world of there dreams. They also find that everything they had been told was true; it was under the rule of the evil Wart.
Luigi, along with his friends, decided to save this land known as Subcon.
In Subcon, Luigi could jump higher than all of his friends, and kicked his legs when he was in the air, decreasing the speed of his descent. However, he was the second weakest of the group of four.
After they went through various different worlds, defeated various enemies and bosses, and defeated Wart, Luigi woke up to see this was only a dream. (It is debated, however, as to if it was a dream, or if Luigi was made to think it 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 kids 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 back 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 and Luigi's hard work, they would go take a vacation to Dinosaur Land. Mario, Luigi and Peach hopped on a hot air balloon to get to the tropical island and landed.
Luigi had found a magical Feather in the island that allowed 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.
Bowser and his kids had kidnapped Princess Peach and they had also kidnapped seven Baby Yoshis and Yoshis. Mario and Luigi met Yoshi, a dinosaur, who helped them get the princess back.
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 to Where 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. Finally, Luigi hosts the manual of Super Mario RPG.
The Diary
During the events of Paper Mario, Luigi had a diary which he wrote in about how various things, such as how he dislikes being left out of adventures with his brother, Mario. During the end credits, Luigi is the leader of the parade, yet again.
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 got 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 paintings. Luigi saw that Mario had been turned into a painting but with the help of E. Gadd he was turned back into a human. After Mario was saved he decided to go on another vacation, but this time, without Luigi. Luigi likely didn't come because E. Gadd was so pleased of Luigi's work, he created a new mansion over the haunted one, which Luigi probably decided to relax in.
Brothers Again
After Mario got back from his latest adventure, in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Luigi had to go on another adventure. When Cackletta stole Princess Peach's voice Mario had to go to the Beanbean Kingdom to get it back.
Luigi wanted to stay, but after a series of tragic events, he ended up going with Mario. Mario and Luigi used the Koopa Cruiser to get to the Beanbean Kingdom and save Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta and Fawful.
Luigi sees how much help he is to Mario, and decides to stay on the adventure, even though he got scared a lot of times.
Paper Luigi
While Mario saved Princess Peach and got the Crystal Stars in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi also had a mission of his own. After every chapter in the game, Mario can hear Luigi's story in Rogueport.
When telling Mario the story, Luigi exaggerates and tells some lies to make the story better and make himself sound much more heroic, but Luigi's partners almost always secretly tell Mario what really happened. Also Luigi later gets interviewed and 5 Super Luigi books are sold.
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. His fan club, whose members include Toadia and a Toad from Petalburg, was also given two mentions in the game.
Luigi Busts a Move
Luigi (Mario is also the optional hero) danced to save the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Waluigi went to Truffle Tower to gain Music Keys and grant him the power to "hypnotize the rhythm less masses". However, after he opened the door, all but one key flew to various locations in the Mushroom Kingdom. One of the music Keys went down the sea, another one to Mushroom Park and another one to Freeze Mountain Toad, witnessing these events, rushed to tell Luigi. If all keys, were not returned, they could fall into the wrong hands.
Ever the hero, Luigi set out to find all four Music Keys, along with Toad. Using his S.S. Brass to navigate, Luigi challenged the key owners to dance-offs. Luigi then faced Waluigi (and other creatures) to a dance-off and got all four Music Keys back.
After getting the keys, Bowser stole them. Bowser went to his castle and Luigi followed him with the S.S. Brass. Mario did the "Final Dance Off" with him and got the Music Keys back. They then were all returned to the Truffle Tower.
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario Unite!
In Super Mario 64 DS while Mario goes to Princess Peach's Castle, Luigi is captured by A Big Boo (presumably King Boo). Luigi later gets saved by Mario, however Luigi finds out that when Mario entered the castle Princess Peach was gone. She had been kidnapped!
Luigi decided to help Mario save Peach. Yoshi and Wario also decided to save the princess. After going through different worlds getting Power Stars, the four got the princess back.
Back in Time
Again both Mario brother reunite in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The princess has recently used E. Gadd's Time Machine and she's gone back in time. Mario now has to go save her, and wants Luigi to help him again.
Both brothers go back in time, to find Peach. However when they go to the past, they're in the time when the Shroobs attack! Mario and Luigi meet their younger selves, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, who will help them find the princess.
The brothers look all over the past Mushroom Kingdom collecting Star Shards. After finally collecting enough, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi go to the past of Princess Peach's Castle, which has been turned into Shroob Castle.
Luigi and company defeat all the enemies, and defeat Princess Shroob, Elder Princess Shroob and Shrowser. They finally save Peach, go back to their own time, and watch as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi go back to their time.
Bowser and Bowser Jr. Attack!
Once again in New Super Mario Bros., Princess Peach got kidnapped and had to be saved by Mario. However this time she was kidnapped by Bowser Jr., Bowser's son, who Luigi hasn't fought before, but Mario had.
Mario went to save the princess with a little help from Luigi. Luigi is a secret character in this game and his role is the same as Mario.
Mr. L
In the game Super Paper Mario it was revealed that Luigi will be playable. He is noticeably braver here, rushing in to save Princess Peach, jumping on Bowser, and calling Count Bleck a goon. His special move is a jump that is so powerful it sends him out of the screen. He is the last character to be unlocked, joining Mario's party in the interlude between Chapters 6 and 7.
Brainwashed by Count Bleck's assistant, Nastasia, Luigi becomes Mr. L, also known as The Green Thunder. Before Mario could get his hands on his fifth Pure Heart, Mr. L made his dramatic appearance in the Whoa Zone (complete with stylish poses). He attacks with a super jump and can use Shroom Shakes during battle. When he is bested in combat, he reveals his trusted giant-robot "brother", Brobot, which he attacks Mario with in space. When he was defeated, he vowed to return. Later, at Count Bleck's lair, Mr. L did not seem pleased with Bleck's minions, going so far as to call them "junior" minions and calling them weak.
He returned as a boss in Chapter 6, after the dimension was destroyed. Here, he fights with Brobot L-Type. After being defeated, Dimentio betrays him and sends him to The Underwhere. He loses memory of him being Mr. L and turns to normal. Mario finds him scared in The Underwhere, and Luigi joins Mario on his quest.
Eventually, he faces Dimentio in Castle Bleck alone, not even with a single Pixl by his side. Nevertheless, he manages to defeat Dimentio, but gets knocked out by Dimentio's suicidal attack. Princess Peach finds him and awakes him. He later rejoins Mario with Peach and Bowser and the four heroes' power makes Count Bleck defeatable. With Luigi's help, the heroes defeated Count Bleck and saved the universe. However, Dimentio snatched the Chaos Heart, saying that it was Mr. L's turn to shine once more. Suddenly, a brainwashing sprout emerges from Luigi's head and puts him under Dimentio's control. Dimentio says the Dark Prognosticus states that he is the chosen one to absorb the Chaos Heart. Luigi fuses with the Chaos Heart and Dimentio to become Super Dimentio. The other three heroes defeated Super Dimentio, and turned Luigi back to normal. Luigi then witnessed Lord Blumiere and Lady Timpani use their love to stop The Void.
Mr. L is a pun on Mr. T.
Other Appearances/Spin-offs
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.
Luigi has been confirmed as a team captain in the upcoming Super Mario Strikers Charged. it is possible he will have his own field.
He makes a cameo in Yoshi's Story in the level Torrential Maze in the second world. His name is printed in the background of the stage.
Super Smash Bros. series
Luigi is a secret (unlockable) character in the Fighting genre game Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 that is gained by beating Bonus stages as all eight of the original characters.
He also appears as a secret character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the sequel for Super Smash Bros. To unlock him, one had to play the Adventure Mode. When finishing the first stage of it with a 2 in the seconds of the remaining time, there would be a short cutscene with Luigi kicking Mario off the stage. The player then had to battle Luigi and Peach instead of Mario and Peach. If Luigi is beaten in less than a minute, then when finishing the Adventure Mode, Luigi would appear again to challenge the player.
It is possible Luigi will return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Physical Description
Luigi looks almost exactly like Mario except that he is taller and slimmer. His clothes are also almost identical to Mario's clothes, the only major differences being that his hat and shirt are green rather than red and the denim in his pants are a less faded blue. Also, his face is taller and thinner than Mario's, having almost no chin, a smoother mustache, and light blue eyes. He wears a Hat with a Green L printed in the front inside of a white circle, white gloves, A green undershirt, overalls with two gold buttons, and brown work shoes. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, he has red and white striped socks.
Abilities
Luigi's abilities are usually the same as Mario's, with only a few differences. Luigi jumps higher than Mario, but has usually lower traction. In Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, he is seen spitting fireballs. In Super Mario 64 DS Luigi can run across a small amount of water with a running start. With the Power Flower, he can come invisible and walk through enemies and certain walls. In the Super Smash Bros. games his fireballs are green and unlike Mario's levitate. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with the technique known as the "Thunderhand".
Roles Taken
Luigi is a hero, but usually a sidekick. In Luigi's Mansion he got his first starring role (except for Mario is Missing) but is portrayed as a coward. In the Mario and Luigi games, he is a cowardly sidekick who occasionally has to be brave. He is the hero of a separate adventure you don't get to play or see in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door where he is a coward and changes the story to make him look more heroic. In Super Paper Mario he was not a sidekick, but rather one of the four heroes, which made him equal to Mario. Also in Super Paper Mario, he became brainwashed by Nastasia to become a villain, Mr. L and later was brainwashed by Dimentio to become Super Dimentio, the final boss.
Personality
Luigi is as kindhearted as his brother, but is portrayed in the games as timid and the tip of a coward. He also worries a little and is self-conscious. But, quite a few times, he overcomes his fears and acts like a real, brave hero, like in Luigi's Mansion. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he seems to be a bit arrogant and a liar, as he changes the story of his adventure to make himself look better, or he might have just wanted to impress Mario (which is more understandable since mario always steals the limelight). His partners claim his stories are false. In Super Paper Mario his cowardliness is rarely shown, and he acts very brave and boldly rushes into dangerous situations, showing that his travels in the Waffle Kingdom made him grow braver.
Luigi is also sort of clumsy. For example, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he accidentally bumped one of his partners, Blooey, into a volcano while trying to stop evil. But, mostly, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario only can wish he can do, such as doing a Spring Jump without any Ultra Boots in Super Paper Mario.
In Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, the Star Gate (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. This may have something to do with Luigi's "dark secret from his past," which it also mentions. Apparently, Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. This may mean that Luigi indeed has a dark side (if the secret is taken as a negative thing) or a conservative, quiet side (if the secret is taken as an embarrassing thing).
Whereas Mario almost says nothing (a point is made out of this in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars with Toad and The Thousand-Year Door with Doopliss), Luigi is proven to be quite the chatter box in the Paper Mario series. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi is almost "Mario's Mouth." He does all the speaking for Mario in the beginning of the game (a role later taken by Tippi), he talks a lot while in the role of Mr. L, etc. Once he joins Mario's party, however, he mostly only talks during scenes where the four heroes are shown when present together, similar to Peach and Bowser.
Relations with other Big Eight characters
Mario
Main article: Mario
Mario is Luigi's one and only, confirmed, brother. Mario's abilities are similar to Luigi's. Unlike Luigi, his personality is being brave and strong. Since Mario usually goes on his adventures without him, Luigi is jealous of him and wants more fame, though he's usually too timid and scared to try.
Princess Peach
Main article: Princess Peach
Princess Peach is Luigi's friend. She usually plays as "Damsel-in-Distress" and is usually saved by Mario and Luigi. It is hinted that Luigi like Mario has a crush on her. Luigi is seen swooning over her in her Mario Power Tennis victory scene with hearts in his eyes, indicating that Luigi has romantic feelings for her.
Bowser
Main article: Bowser
Bowser is Luigi's first enemy and one of his only ones. Bowser changes sizes through the games, but he is always about the same size of Luigi, sometimes way bigger. Luigi and Bowser have been enemies, however nowadays they aren't as much as enemies as Mario is with Bowser. He now has his own rival, King Boo.
Toad
Main article: Toad
Toad is one of Luigi's friends. Toad usually helps Mario and Luigi telling them tips. He did play a playable role in Super Mario Bros. 2. He does seem more of a "helper" than a friend though. Besides giving Luigi tips and the occasional pick-me-up, Toad doesn't spend nearly as much time with Luigi as he does with Mario. Their is a Toad that claims to be Luigi's #1 fan in Super Mario 64 DS. There is also a Luigi Fan Club in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that is headed by a Toad (who happens to believe Luigi to be a fraud and Mario in Green Clothes to be the real Luigi).
Wario
Main article: Wario
Wario is Mario's alleged doppelgänger and rival. Luigi can be seen hanging out with Wario in the beginning moments of Mario Party 4 and saved him from Chief Chilly in Super Mario 64 DS. In the past, Baby Wario saved Luigi from Kamek once along with Yoshi and other characters. Also, someone who looks a lot like Wario, Waluigi (also said to be Wario's brother), is one of Luigi's rivals. Wario seems to have a competitive rivalry with Luigi in the Mario Party intro when they were arguing whether being a superstar required brains or brawn.
Donkey Kong
Main article: Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong is Mario's old enemy from the Donkey Kong Jr. era. While Luigi doesn't seem to have any relationship with Donkey Kong, a younger self of Donkey Kong saved Luigi, when Luigi and Donkey Kong were babies. However the Baby Donkey Kong might have been Cranky Kong. Besides in baby form, DK and Luigi don't really have any other connections, besides sport spin-off games.
Yoshi
Main article: Yoshi
Yoshi is one of Luigi's oldest friends. When Luigi was kidnapped when he was a baby a Yoshi and Baby Mario went to save him. Luigi occasionally rides Yoshi, although Yoshi has been known to be as good as Luigi on his own two feet.
Relations with other characters
Daisy
Main article: Princess Daisy
Daisy is Peach's best friend and Luigi's rumored love interest. One of Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was as Luigi's caddy for NES Open Tournament Golf, just as Peach was Mario's caddy; this would be the first implication of a relationship between the two, spawning the rumors that are mentioned in Daisy's trophy biography in Super Smash Bros. Melee: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach." In Mario Tennis for the N64, Daisy is Luigi's doubles partner when he is selected for the doubles tournament. In the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour beginning Daisy calls upon Luigi in the same way Peach calls upon Mario. When the two are paired up in the recent Mario Party games, their team name is "Steady Sweeties". In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share good chemistry, whereas Daisy does not share chemistry with Mario. Nintendo has not explicitly said anything regarding their official status. As a result, the Luigi/Daisy relationship is still a mystery and is widely speculated and debated by fans to this day. In Mario Power Tennis, when Daisy wins a tournament, Luigi gives his trophy to her. She first says to Luigi "Hey sweety!"
Waluigi
Main article: Waluigi
Waluigi seems to nurture an especially hostile grudge against Luigi for unknown reasons. His motives are also prey for speculators. Some say that, like Wario, Waluigi's primary ambition is greed, while others suggest that he has more sinister motives. Judging by his grand schemes, Waluigi is probably more ambitious than Wario. While Wario mostly acts out of greed, Waluigi has attempted world domination. He wants to gain power over others (only to be knocked back due to him being way over his head). However, Waluigi's actions seem to be mainly out of spite towards the Mario Bros., once again, for unknown reasons.
King Boo
Main article: King Boo
King Boo appears to be Luigi's Bowser. They seem to be arch enemies all the time. In Luigi's Mansion, King Boo was the one who took Mario and sent all of the rest of the ghost out to attack him, and that was before they had even met face to face. While in Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and King Boo have terrible chemisty together. Some fans are starting to speculate about why King Boo despises Luigi so much.
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 Party series 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 "Yeah, Luigi has got it again!" (Mario Party 6). In Super Paper Mario, his voice changes again, with a rougher and deeper italian voice.
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's in height. This could be a accident or purpose change.
It is possible, however, that they are twins, and Luigi is the younger twin, having been born a few minutes later.
Luigi Outside the Games
The first movie Luigi appeared in was an anime movie, The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach, where he was voiced by Yuu Mizushima. For some reason he was mis-colored in the movie as wearing a blue cap and overalls and a yellow shirt.
Later, he was played by John Leguizamo in the Super Mario Bros. movie.

Regular
#46: "Although Mario's younger brother has always played second fiddle, Luigi finally garnered the spotlight with his very own game, Luigi's Mansion. Things are looking up for the eternal understudy; he's even picked up his own rival in Waluigi. The day he's referred to as the "lean, mean, green machine" may not be too far off."

Adventure
#47: "Luigi has worse traction than his brother, but he's a more powerful jumper. His Fireballs aren't affected by gravity, so they fly straight horizontally. The Green Missile is similar to Pikachu's Skull Bash, but there's a 12.5% chance of a spontaneous misfire. Luigi's taunting pose inflicts minor damage."
