{{quote|I'm-a Luigi! Number one!|Luigi|Mario Kart 64}}
 
'''Luigi''' (Japanese ルイージ, ''Ruīji'') is a heroic individual from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] who has assisted or fought alongside his brother, [[Mario]] on many occasions. Throughout his life he has lived in Mario's shadow, developing both cowardly and heroic tendencies. ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' marks his first appearance in a ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' arcade game.  Originally a color swap of Mario, Luigi was created to facilitate a second player. Since the two player mode was dropped from most ''Super Mario'' games beginning with ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Luigi has gained his own identity and personality.
 
==History==
Luigi was born when [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] set out to create ''[[Mario Bros.]]''<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mb-arcade The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 7-2-09)</ref> after being told Mario resembled a [[plumber]], a notion he wanted to officially establish.<ref name="ign">[http://games.ign.com/articles/833/833615p1.html IGN] (Accessed on 6-28-09)</ref> For this particular adventure, however, Miyamoto wished to incorporate a [[Wikipedia:Two-player video game|two-player mode]] after seeing a similar option in ''[[Wikipedia:Joust (videogame)|Joust]]''<ref name="ign" /><ref name="tiam">[http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=8624 The International Arcade Museum] (Accessed on 7-2-08)</ref>: Miyamoto's answer to ''Joust''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> stork-riding Player 2 was Luigi, Mario's green-clad younger twin brother with whom he could compete or cooperate with. Two-player mode in mind, [[Nintendo]] and publishing companies such as [[Atari]] gave Luigi immediate publicity, making him the star of multiple [[Promotional references|advertisements]] for the game.<ref name="mbcommercial">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSte8m4Da6A Commerical for Atari Mario Bros. featuring a live-action Luigi.]</ref><ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mania/a/print/mb-atari.jpg Print ad for ''Mario Bros.'']</ref>
 
There is much debate as to how Luigi earned his name. Some have proposed that it is a pun on ''Ruiji'', both the [[Japan]]ese pronunciation of Luigi's name and a Japanese word meaning "similar" or "analogous" (which can be said of Luigi in relation to Mario).<ref name="ign" /><ref name="tmkmailbag">[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mailbag_010706.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 7-2-09)</ref> However, it has also been theorized that his name was taken from Mario & Luigi's, a pizza parlor near [[Nintendo of America]]'s headquarters in [[Wikipedia:Redmond, Washington|Redmond, Washington]].<ref name="ign" /><ref name="tiam" /> This would appear to be the true explanation, as Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed the name was conjured by NOA.<ref name="tmkmailbag" /> Either way, Mario and Luigi are (respectively) the fourth and fifth most popular male Italian names<ref>[http://wiki.name.com/en/The_Most_Popular_Italian_Names Name.com] (Accessed on 7-2-09)</ref>, and as such sound natural and help to define [[Mario (series)|the series]].
 
Since his debut in [[Games by date#1983|1983]], Luigi has been constantly developing. Gameplay differences between him and Mario were first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. After spending years as an edit of his brother, Luigi has consistently had his own graphics since ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' in 1992, with earlier exceptions including the American ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. As aforementioned, Luigi has begun earning his own personality in the post-''Super Mario 64'' era, starting with ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
 
==Games==
{{spoiler}}
===Captured by Kamek===
[[Image:SMW2LUIGI.PNG|thumb|150px|left|The two babies with their family.]]
{{main|Baby Luigi}}
In the beginning of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Baby Mario]] and Baby Luigi were being delivered to their [[Mama Mario|mother]] and [[Mario and Luigi's father|father's]] home by the [[Stork]]. However, Baby Luigi was quickly snatched away by [[Kamek]] and taken to [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Bowser's Castle|castle]]. Fortunately, [[Baby Mario]] landed right on [[Yoshi]]'s back on [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].  Baby Mario somehow had the instinct to know where Baby Luigi was and pointed the way to Baby Bowser's Castle indefinately, and with that knowledge, Baby Mario and Yoshi teamed up with the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] to rescue Baby Luigi. After a lengthy expedition, Baby Bowser was defeated and Baby Luigi was rescued. After the credits, both Baby Luigi and Baby Mario are sent to their parents and finished the journey they had started in the beginning of the game.
 
===Captured by Kamek... Again===
[[Image:Starchildren1.PNG|thumb|Six of the Star Children.]]
[[Baby Luigi]] appears once again in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Here, he and several other babies are kidnapped. As [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] were searching for the seven [[Star Children]], who could bring him ultimate power. [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Baby Wario]], and for a brief period, even [[Baby Bowser]] teamed up with the Yoshis to save the babies again. After defeating [[Bowser]], [[Baby Luigi]] and the other babies were rescued, and peace was restored once more. It turned out that [[Baby Luigi]] was one of the Star Babies as well as the five babies that rescued him.
 
===Of Plumbing===
[[Image:MarioBrosSprites.PNG|thumb|left|Luigi as a palette swap of Mario.]]
[[Luigi]]'s first playable appearance was in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', where he was simply a palette swap of Mario with the same controls and abilities. There were no other differences in physical appearance.
 
In the game, [[Luigi]] and [[Mario]] were portrayed as [[plumber]]s. While working in the sewers one day, the Bros. found the sewers infested with [[Shellcreeper]]s, [[Freezie|Slipice]]s, and many other monstrous creatures. They attacked the monsters, and were eventually able to cleanse the sewers of them. In the remake, they even had to fight off the evil [[King Bowser]], and luckily, they succeeded.
 
===The First Adventure===
[[Image:smb1_luigi.gif|thumb|Luigi's appearance in Super Mario Bros.]]
 
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', after Mario and Luigi fought the monsters of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', they returned to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] where they were told by the [[Mushroom King]] that the evil king [[Bowser]] had kidnapped [[Princess Toadstool]] and her [[Mushroom Retainer]]s.
 
Mario and Luigi then went to save the kidnapped Princess Toadstool and rescue her from the king of [[Koopa]]s. The Mario Brothers had to travel 8 diffrent worlds  of the Mushroom Kingdom, each world complete with it's own challenges that Luigi and Mario had to face. The brothers fought many enemies, defeated Bowser, and saved the princess along with the Mushroom Retainers. In this game, Luigi had the same jumping powers, same traction, and the same running speed as Mario.
 
Later, in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|The Lost Levels]]'', the Bros. were once again called to save Princess Peach from the [[Koopa Troop]]. Bowser had set up many more traps for the Mario Bros., but nevertheless they prevailed and saved the princess yet again. This time, Luigi could jump higher and further than Mario, but he had less traction.
 
Mario and Luigi spent the remainder of their lives aiding the Mushroom Kingdom from [[Bowser]].
 
===Destroying Walls===
[[Image:Wrecking Weegee.png|left|frame|In ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'']]
Luigi was once again the second player in [[Wrecking Crew]].  Luigi's sprite was still a palatte swap of Mario's, but this time Luigi was dressed in purple.  In this game, Mario and Luigi work on a demolition site. The goal is to break down every stone wall on each stage.  Defeating enemies in this game is not easy, as Mario and Luigi's regular hammer deals them no damage.  However, it might make [[Foreman Spike]] fall down if one of the Mario Bros. can hit him with it. If an enemy wanders underneath a drum, Mario or Luigi can trap them by causing the drum to fall.
 
===An Odd Dream===
[[Image:LuigiSMB2.jpg|left|150px|thumb|right|Luigi's artwork in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.]]
Luigi was one of four characters in [[Super Mario Bros. 2]] that found himself in a very strange world called [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]] that was under attack. The culprits were [[Wart|King Wart]] and his large army of dream creatures. The next morning, the four friends decided to go on a picnic, and happen stumble upon the strange world they had dreamed of. They found that everything they had been told was true; it ''was'' under the rule of the evil Wart. Luigi, and his three friends confronted [[Wart]] and his forces, defeating them one by one. The four heroes then stumbled upon Wart's lair and battled him by choking him with [[Vegetables]]. Wart finnally fell and the four heroes were able to release the Subcons. At the end of the game it was revealed that the events of the game was just Mario's dream.
 
In Subcon, Luigi could jump higher than all of his friends, and was the third strongest in the group. Eventually, the whole adventure was shown to be Mario's dream.
 
===King Koopa's Revenge!===
[[Image:SuperMarioBros3.png|thumb|left|Luigi jumping in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
Bowser now traveled with a massive [[Airship]], and his [[Koopalings|children]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. He transformed all of the kings in the world into odd creatures, and then proceeded to make his children kings of all the different lands. Much like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Luigi was capable of jumping higher than Mario, but had reduced traction.
 
Mario and Luigi were called upon by [[Princess Peach]] to save the day again.  The brothers went on another adventure to save not only the Mushroom Kingdom but the [[Mushroom World]]. Luigi and Mario faced many challenges and obstacles, from the Koopalings [[Airships]] to the scorching climate of Desert land and even the chilling weather of [[Ice Land]] the brothers defeated every enemy that confronted them. After defeating the Koopalings, and turning the kings back to their regular state, the brothers found out from a letter sent from Bowser that he kidnapped the Princess while they were away. The Mario Bros. went to the frightening home of [[Bowser]], [[Dark Land]], to save the kidnapped Princess Peach.
 
After saving the princess once again from Bowser, the plumbers returned to their home in the Mushroom Kingdom.
 
=== A Restless Vacation in Dinosaur Land ===
[[Image:SLW.png|right|thumb|150px|Luigi in the original ''SMW'' (left), Luigi in ''SMAS+SMW'' (center), and Luigi in ''SMA2'' (right).]]
After the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Princess Toadstool and the Mario Brothers went on a vacation to [[Dinosaur Land]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Mario, Luigi and Toadstool hopped on a hot air balloon to get to the tropical island. Luigi had found a magical [[Feather]] on the island that allowed anyone who grabbed it to turn into [[Cape Mario|cape form]]. Mario and Luigi flew around Dinosaur Island. When they returned, they found Toadstool missing again. Bowser and his children had kidnapped Princess Toadstool along with seven [[Baby Yoshi]]s and trapped any [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] he met in eggs. Luigi, Mario, and Yoshi traveled the many diffrent areas of Dinosaur Land in search of the princess. The brothers used [[Yoshi]] as their trusty steed throughout their adventure. After defeating all seven of the [[Koopalings]] the Mario Bros. uncovered Bowser's secret hideout. Ready for anything the brothers and Yoshi charged to [[Bowser's Castle]]. After fighting many enemies the Brothers finally confronted Bowser and his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Using the Mecha Koopas that Bowser tossed down at the brothers against him the Mario Brothers were able to defeat Bowser once again and rescue the princess and the seven Yoshi eggs.
 
=== Finding Yoshi ===
In the [[Super Mario World (TV Series)|Super Mario World]] television series, Luigi fell from a lava waterfall and landed on a skull raft. After that, he found a yoshi egg.The [[Yoshi]] affectionately called Luigi [[Mama Luigi]] and thinks of him as his mother. The yoshi assisted in rescuing [[Princess Peach]] and defeating [[King Koopa]]
 
===A Missing Bro.===
[[Image:Marioismissing.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi walking in Mario is Missing.]]
In ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Mario was kidnapped by Bowser and it was up to Luigi to find him. During his quest, Luigi learned about geography, battled Bowser's seven children, and got help from [[Yoshi]], while traveling across the real world to find Mario. In the end he saved Mario.  Then, the Mario Bros. loaded Bowser into a cannon and fired him into the snow.  Bowser froze instantly and split in half.  However, this ending only applies to the SNES version of the game. This game marked Luigi's solo-adventure debut and was the only solo adventure for Luigi until 2001.
 
===Explorers of Hotels===
[[Image:MarioCartoonCutscene.PNG|thumb|Luigi appears in all cutscenes of ''Hotel Mario'', here are two screenshots showing him, 2 others with the princess]]
Luigi is one of the main characters in the game ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. Princess Peach was retained as a "permanent guest" by Bowser, who turned the Mushroom Kingdom into his own personal resorts. Eventually, Luigi and Mario destroyed each of the seven Koopaling Hotels. They then defeated Bowser at his own palace and rescued the princess. Luigi is controlled by the 2nd player, his sprite being a palette swap of Mario. This is Luigi's only run on the Phillips CD/I.
 
===Cameoed with 1 wish===
[[Image:SMRPGCL.png|left|thumb|Luigi in the credits.]]
While Luigi doesn't appear much 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 brother. In the ending of the game, Luigi is also the leader of the parade. Luigi also hosts the manual of ''Super Mario RPG''. A screenshot from the beta version of the game shows Luigi (along with Mario and [[Mallow]]) attending a banquet hosted by [[Valentina]].
 
=== Saving Wario in the Castle ===
[[Image:Luigihop.jpg|thumb|200px|Luigi to the rescue.]]
Although Luigi did not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he did appear in its remake: ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.  Luigi, along with Mario and Wario, entered [[Princess Peach's Castle]] after she invited them. Bowser and his Koopa Troop shortly then took over the castle and captured each of the plumbers, Luigi was locked behind a door and the key to said door was guarded by [[King Boo]]. Eventually, [[Yoshi]], who was sleeping on the castle roof and therefore didn't get captured by Bowser's troop, managed to rescue Mario, who then managed to find King Boo's hideout and defeat the Boo's leader in battle, allowing him to get the key needed to free Luigi. While only Luigi can get several stars, several Luigi [[Cap]]s ''can'' be found on a few courses, which allows the bearer to mimic Luigi appearance and abilities perfectly, excluding his voice. Every level in the game will get a Luigi Cap once Luigi is rescued. Luigi is also the only character who could save [[Wario]] from [[Chief Chilly]]'s grasp, as it is necessary to walk through a mirror to get to Wario's painting.
 
Luigi's Special Ability from a [[Power Flower]] is to become invisible. This ability allows him to evade enemies, and go through certain walls. If the player holds down the R Button then Jump, Luigi will Jump backwards while spinning in Midair. Luigi also can flutter a bit after [[Jump|Jumping]], which was first used in Super Mario Bros. 2, and run on water for a short period of time.
 
=== Writing a diary ===
[[Image:luigi parade.png|thumb|left|150px]]
During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Luigi is left to protect and maintain [[Mario's Pad|his home]] while his brother pursues the [[Star Spirits]]. Luigi spent most of his time lamenting on his inactivity, begging for Mario to take him along and practicing for future quests. With all his downtime, Luigi also built a basement in which he kept [[Luigi's Diary|a secret diary]] where he wrote about various things, such as how he dislikes being left out of adventures with his brother. An entry in his diary foreshadows his next solo quest, ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. He also leads the parade in the end credits, much like in ''Super Mario RPG''.
 
=== Alone in a spooky prize ===
[[Image:LM Luigi Flee.jpg|thumb|175px|Luigi, as seen in ''Luigi's Mansion'']]
During ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Luigi won a [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]] in a contest he hadn't even entered. Luigi called Mario and asked him to visit the mansion. Mario got to the mansion first, but when Luigi arrived, Mario was nowhere to be found and [[Boo|ghosts]] haunted the mansion. Luigi met [[Professor E. Gadd]] and received the [[Poltergust 3000]], a vacuum that allowed him to capture ghosts. 
 
Luigi went through the mansion, vacuuming many ghosts,in order to save his helpless brother from the [[King Boo|King of all Boos]]. In order to fill E. Gadds gallery and find King Boo, Luigi had to capture twenty-three special ghosts. These ghosts were more powerful than regular ghosts and each had a special ability unique to that ghost. After defeating all of the spooks, Luigi had to confornt [[King Boo]] himself. Dressed in a Bowser Suit King Boo had all the powers of Bowser and More, but nevertheless Luigi prevailed and capture the King of all ghosts. Returning to E.gadd's Lab the professor turned them into paintings. Luigi saw that Mario had been turned into a painting as well. With the help of E. Gadd, he was freed from his pastel prison in a rather comedic way. After cleaning his mansion of the ghosts Luigi was able to build a new and better version of his spooky mansion. After Mario was rescued, he went with Peach on [[Super Mario Sunshine|another vacation]], but this time, without Luigi.
 
=== Exploits In the Beanbean Kingdom ===
[[Image:LuigiSSS.png|thumb|left|150px|Luigi standing]]
After Mario returned from his latest adventure, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Luigi had to go on another adventure. When [[Cackletta]] stole [[Princess Peach]]'s voice Mario and Luigi had to go to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] to get it back. Luigi wanted to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom, but after a series of tragic and hilarious 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 was fearful the majority of the time. Luigi is even is the damsel for a while. Luigi also has to rescue Mario during the game when Mario gets [[Bean Fever]]. He gets hypnotized by [[Psycho Kamek]] into thinking he is Mario to get him more relaxed about going into the scary [[Guffawha Ruins]]. He goes to the Ruins to get [[Crabbie Grass]], the cure for Bean Fever, for Mario (which might not make sense because if Luigi thinks he is the real Mario he will not understand that the true Mario is sick). On the way back to the Mushroom Embassy in Little Fungitown to deliver the grass, he gets shocked by a lightning bolt and come back to his normal self. Luigi provides comic relief here, like in a few other games. For the first half of the game, most people recognize Mario then call Luigi things like "Mr. Green Stache" or "Mr. Other Mario Bro". This is humor derived from Luigi always being in Mario's shadow.
 
=== Luigi's adventures in the Waffle Kingdom ===
[[Image:PaperLuigi2.png|right|thumb|Luigi, telling [[Mario]] his first story.]]
While Mario saved Princess Peach and collected the [[Crystal Star]]s 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 lies to make the story better and make himself sound much more heroic; Luigi's [[partner]]s almost always secretly tell Mario what really happened. Later, Luigi gets interviewed and five ''[[Super Luigi Series|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.
 
He also appears in the audience when in battle, and cheers Mario on during the final battle with the [[Shadow Queen]]; one of the word bubbles in that battle reads "YOU GO BRO" in green letters. [[Luigi Fan Club|His fan club]], whose members include [[Toadia]] and a Toad from [[Petalburg]], was also given two mentions in the game. The "L Emblem Badge" makes the [[player]] wear Luigi's clothes. In the log for the enemy [[Iron Cleft]], the log says the Cleft in the green shoes is younger, probably in reference to Luigi. [[Pennington]] constantly mistakes Mario for Luigi until the end of the game. Lastly, it is worthy of note that Luigi's silhouette was the first of the many white character silhouettes who walked across varying areas of the screen during the game's ending credits; this was likely done as to mirror Luigi's past RPG roles as a parade leader.
 
=== Plumbers in Distress ===
[[Image:SPP_Luigi.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi captured by a [[Hammer Bro.]]]]
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Bowser's minions, using the power of the [[Vibe Scepter]], kidnapped Mario. They also kidnapped Luigi and Toad because they got in the way. Peach goes on a quest to rescue them.
 
Bowser makes sure that he hides Luigi well because of what he has done in the past which leads him to hiding him late in the game.
 
Peach finds Luigi in the boss level of [[Giddy Sky]], instead of a Toad. She defeats the boss, [[Giant Kamek]], and rescues Luigi.
 
=== Back in Time ===
[[Image:MandL2 BabyLuigi.jpg|thumb|175px|Luigi, with his younger self Baby Luigi.]]
Once again, both Mario brothers unite in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The princess had recently used E. Gadd's [[Time Machine]] to go back in time and she was trapped there by the [[Shroob|Shroobs]]. Mario now has to go save her again, and takes Luigi for some help.
 
Both brothers go back in time to find Peach. However when they go to the past, they're in the time period of the Shroob invasion. Later in the game, Mario and Luigi meet their younger selves, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], who help them find the princess.
 
The brothers look all over the past Mushroom Kingdom collecting [[Star Shard]]s. The brothers run into many diffrent enemies both new and old. They also run into a few allies. Near the end of the brothers journey they traveled to [[Star Hill]] to find the remaining two peices of the [[Cobalt Star]]. There they meet the [[Star Gate]], although passing Mario and the Babies worthy enough to travel through it the Star Gate judges Luigi and says that he is not worthy enough to go in brcause a dark secret in his past. After whispering to Luigi what that dark secret was the Star Gate gives them to choices: go home and have a nice pasta dinner ending their quest, or finding the [[Aurora Block]]. The brothers search through the entire Star Shirne and fine the Aurora Block. Giving the block back to the Star Gate the Gate asks Luigi who found the block. With only three answers (1. ME, 2. Mario, or 3. The Babies) to choose from. Which ever answer he picked from the Star Gate counted them all wrong and said there was a fourth answer ''Everyone''. Saddened Luigi began to cry, angry by the actions of the Star Gate Mario and Baby Mario confront the gate. After seening them stand up for thier brother the Gate labels them the best siblings ever and allows Luigi to pass. The Star Gate tells the brothers that it was just a test and tells Luigi to strike the Aurora Block with all of his might The Star Gate tells him that the block can grow by the size of the heart of the person who hits it, after saying that the Aurora Block grow to gigantic porportions and flattens Luigi. With new found love for eachother the brotherss contnued on with their journey. After collecting enough shards, 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 sadly as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi go back to their time.
 
=== A New Adventure with Mario===
[[Image:WeegeeJumpNSMB.png|thumb|left|Luigi [[Jump]]ing.]]
Once again, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Princess Peach was kidnapped and had to be saved by Mario. This time she had been kidnapped by [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser's son. Mario went to save the princess with a little help from Luigi. Mario and Luigi traveled to the many areas of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] fighting the many [[enemies]] that [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] put in their way. At the castle in [[World 8]] Mario and Luigi ended up fighting [[Dry Bowser]] (an undead version of Bowser). After being tricked into believeing that they had finally defeated [[Bowser]], Bowser Jr. stole [[Peach]] and the Mario Bros. had to follow him to [[Bowser's Castle]] where they finally coonfronted,a now revived [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]]. Again the Mario Bros. defeated Bowser and his son and rescued Peach once again. Luigi is a secret character in this game, and his role is the same as Mario's. Luigi also appears in this game's multiplayer where he battles Mario for [[Stars]].
 
To Unlock him, one must press L+R in the select file and press "A" or Touch the Touch screen
 
===The Mysterious Mr. L ===
[[Image:Mr. L.jpg|right|thumb|Luigi's brainwashed thief-like and evil alter-ego, [[Mr. L]].]]
In the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' Luigi was 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 the fifth [[Pure Heart]], Mr. L made his dramatic appearance in the [[Whoa Zone]],  Mario and his team seemed to not recognize Mr. L as being Luigi. He attacks with a super jump and can use [[Shroom Shake]]s during battle. To stop him from using the Shroom Shake, the player may attack him before it heals him. 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 Sammer Kingdom was destroyed.  Here, he fights with [[Brobot L-Type]]. After being defeated, [[Dimentio]] betrays him and sends him to [[The Underwhere]]. He loses all memory of his having been Mr. L and returns to his normal state. Mario finds him scared in The Underwhere, and Luigi joins Mario on his quest.
 
[[Image:PAPER LUIGI.jpg|thumb|left|195px|The actual Luigi's appearance in ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
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 fake suicidal attack. Princess Peach finds and awakens 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 [[Count Bleck|Lord Blumiere]] and [[Tippi|Lady Timpani]] use their love to stop [[The Void]].
 
Mr. L's name and attitude were likely taken from [[Wikipedia: Mr. T|Mr. T]], a wrestler. His personality and attire also seem to be similar to the "gentleman thief" archetype of classic literature. The pose he does represents ballet, and is mostly opposite of O' Chunks' disco-like pose, even in its colors, Mr. L's other name The Green Thunder, could also possibly be derived from the fictional super hero, Green Lantern. The Green Thunder may also be a reference Luigi's ability to use the Thunderhand acquired in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Mr. L is also referenced in Paper Luigi's trophy in ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'', however, is mentioned as "Mister L" instead.
 
===Battle in Space===
[[Image:LuigiGalaxy.gif|thumb|230px|right|'''Luigi''' looking up at a [[Luma (character)|Luma]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Luigi appears ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. When Bowser abducts Peach's Castle, Luigi and the [[Toad Brigade]] are apparently inside. However, they all escape and get lost in space. Luigi is kidnapped by the monster [[Bouldergeist]] and imprisoned in the Ghostly Galaxy. Mario must come and rescue him, after which he will help Mario in a handful of missions, including help in collecting stars (although, he gets lost every time, and must be rescued).
 
After the player collects all 120 stars and defeats Bowser again, Luigi will be playable. There are several differences when playing with Luigi: His run is faster, but takes more time to build up speed, it's harder for him to stop running, he can jump higher and he loses some breathing air when he does a [[Star Spin]] underwater. Additionally, [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Luigi]] is faster and more intelligent than [[Cosmic Mario]] when racing.
 
Notably, the playable Luigi is a little shorter and has a different head shape than the NPC Luigi. His clothes are also slightly darker. The NPC Luigi refers to the playable Luigi as "me" as he calls Mario "bro."
 
===Another new old school adventure===
Luigi will be appearing in the upcoming game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.  So far, there's no story information, but it is confirmed that Luigi will be part of the game's multiplayer mode.

== Other Appearances/Spin-offs ==
[[Image:MKLuigi.PNG|thumb|125px|Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.]]
 
===The Racing Plumber===
Luigi is also playable in all of the [[Mario Kart]] series games. He often gets his own course, aptly named [[Luigi Circuit]], usually the first and most simplistic. Luigi's kartss in this series are usually based around his green color, some, like the [[Poltergust 4000]] are based on his adventures. [[Luigi's Mansion (place)]] also appeared as a battle stage in ''Double Dash'' and as a course in [[Mario Kart DS]]. In [[Mario Kart: Double Dash]] his automatic partner is mario and his special item is the [[Green Fireball]]. Luigi has been a medium weight racer since the first ''Mario Kart'' and has average stats and abililties.
 
===Striker Luigi===
Luigi is also a team captain in [[Mario Football]] and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''. He is a Balanced player, and his [[Mega Strike]] uses electricity, most likely referring to his ability from [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]] ability: [[Thunderhand]]. His [[Super Ability]] is [[Super Luigi!]]. Luigi's number in ''Mario Smash Football'' is 2. This is because he is the "second brother". In [[Mario Football]] his Super Strike is the Vicious Vortex.
 
===The Partying Brother===
Luigi is apart of the main cast in the ''Mario Party Series'' and appears in every game. In the earlier ''Mario Party games'' his character color was green but changed to blue in [[Mario Party 4]]. In Mario Party 2 and 3 his favorite item is the [[Skeleton Key]] and his partner is a [[Goomba]]. In [[Mario Party 3]] Luigi is the only character to have a different Star Stamp (5 to be exact) and has every single one except for mischief, and beauty. In [[Mario Party 7]] he shares his Character Orb with Mario, the [[Fireball Orb]]. Luigi's partner in these games is usually his brother [[Mario]].
 
===The Green Golfer===
Luigi has appeared in every single game in the ''Mario Golf series''. Luigi is usually similar to his brother with only a few minor difffrences. Luigi hits with more control but less power, and hits to the left while Mario hits to the right. His shots also tend to go a little lower than Mario's.
 
===Tennis with Mario===
Luigi also appears as a regular in the Mario Tennis cast. Luigi is an All-around tennis player like his brother. In [[Mario Power Tennis]] Luigi's Mansion appears as a court. Luigi's Offensive Power shot is the [[Squeaky Mallet]] and his Defensive Power Shot is the [[Poltergust Return]]. In the cutscenes of Mario Power Tennis Luigi usually appears playing alongside his brother mario on the court.
 
===The Green Slugger===
In [[Mario Superstar Baseball]] Luigi is an alternative captain to [[Mario]]. Luigi has similar stats and abilities to Mario in the series but Luigi can perform a [[Super Jump]] on the field while Mario cannot. In [[Mario Super Sluggers]] Luigi's Mansion appears again as a stadium. Luigi appears as a captain again and his team name is called the Luigi Knights. In challenge mode Luigi is the first player you can get on your team and stays as one for the remainder of the game.
===Various Appearances===
Luigi also appeared in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', where he joined many of his friends and ''Dragon Quest'' characters. He also appeared in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', where he is a Balanced racer. He also made an appearance in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' where he is an All-Around character, just like [[Mario]]. Luigi also appears in [[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]. Luigi's emblem in various games is his trademark L. In [[Mario and Wario]] Luigi appears as the games goal and the [[player]] has to navigate the level to get to Luigi.
 
He makes a small cameo in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' in the level [[Torrential Maze]] of the second world. His name is printed in the background of the stage.
 
===Luigi Busts a Move===
Luigi (or Mario, depending on who the player chooses) danced to save the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]''. [[Waluigi]] went to [[Truffle Tower]] to steal the [[Music Key]]s and grant him the power to "hypnotize the rhythmless 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.
 
Luigi set out to find all four Music Keys, along with Toad. Using the [[S.S. Brass]] to navigate, Luigi challenged [[Waluigi]] (and other characters) to a "dance-off" and got all four Music Keys back.
 
After Luigi retrieved all the keys, Bowser accosted them. Bowser retreated into his castle and Luigi followed him on the S.S. Brass. Luigi won the "Final Dance Off" with him and got the Music Keys back. All the keys were subsequently returned to Truffle Tower.

Luigi is a secret (unlockable) character in the fighting game ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for the Nintendo 64. He is unlocked by beating Bonus stages as all eight of the default characters, and then beating him in a fight. Despite being unlockable, he always fights alongside Mario in Stage 4 of 1-P Mode, and briefly appears (alongside all unlockable characters) in the opening.
 
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 first level of Adventure Mode with a 2 in the "seconds" area of the remaining time. If done correctly, there would be a short cutscene with Luigi kicking Mario off the stage. The player then had to battle Luigi in Mario's place. If Luigi is beaten in less than a minute, then when finishing the Adventure Mode, Luigi would appear again to challenge the player.
 
He also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as an unlockable character once more. To unlock him, the player has to play 22 brawls, complete Classic mode without using continues, or simply get him to join you in The Subspace Emissary. Luigi's white color scheme in ''Super Smash Bros Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'' resembles Luigi's colors in ''Super Mario Bros''. He is strong, has fast attacks, and is a middle weight. However, he has the lowest traction and very slow movement in both air and ground.
 
====[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation====
*'''Snake''': That guy with the mustache...
*'''Colonel''': Ha. You mean the "King of Second Bananas"?
*'''Snake''': Hey, that's Luigi! Show him a little respect!
*'''Colonel''': Look at that pale skin. He's been living in his brother's shadow for too long.
*'''Snake''': That's a low blow, Colonel!
*'''Colonel''': Face it, Snake! Once a kid brother, always a kid brother!
*'''Snake''': Colonel, what's gotten into you?!
*'''Colonel''': La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo.

====Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]====
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:Subspace_luigi.PNG|thumb|left|200px|'''Luigi's''' snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
Luigi first appears where he pretends to threaten and attack on-coming [[Waddle Dee]]s.  They are harmless, and make no move to attack him, but he is frightened by them, nonetheless.  Then, out of nowhere he is attacked from behind by [[King Dedede]], who slams Luigi with his mallet, sending him flying into the air.  After he comes back down, he becomes a [[trophy]].  King Dedede places him on the road as bait for [[Wario]], who is coming down the road. Wario takes the bait, and Dedede manages to steal the princess and [[Ness]] trophies along with Wario's Cargo.
 
[[Image:Luigi_Ness_Badges.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Luigi and [[Ness]] get revived by [[King Dedede|Dedede's]] badges.]]
Dedede places a special badge on Luigi, Ness, and the princess, though the princess's badge is knocked off when Bowser flies off with the princess in his [[Koopa Clown Car]] and is later swallowed by [[Kirby]]. Later, when [[Tabuu]] turns everyone into trophies, the badges turn Luigi and Ness back into living creatures. The badges had the power to bring trophies back to life.  Luigi and Ness afterward turned King Dedede back to life. The unlikely trio set off to help out [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran|Samus]], [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Pikachu]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Marth]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Falco]], [[Pit]], [[Captain Olimar]], [[Lucas]], [[Diddy Kong]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and [[Ike]]. Luigi, along with Ness, then watch Dedede fight [[Bowser]], and later help him convince Wario to join them. After they turned everyone back to normal, they all fought Tabuu.

====Special Moves====
=====Fireball=====
[[Image:Fireball_Luigi_Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Luigi's '''Fireballs''' in ''Brawl''.]]
[[Image:Mariobrosfireball.jpg|thumb|left|'''Fireball''']]
 
Luigi used green fireballs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and still uses it in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although the move was called [[Fireball]], the same name as [[Mario]]'s move, it differed slightly in both appearance and effect. Luigi's fireballs were green, matching his choice of clothing, and the fireballs were not effected by gravity. This means the fireball will always go straight, and won't bounce on the ground. However, other than that, nothing else was changed. [[Kirby]] can use Green Fireballs when he sucks up Luigi.
 
=====Green Missile=====
[[Image:MissleBrawl.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''Green Missile''']]
[[Image:Luigi missile.jpg|thumb|right|Luigi preforming the '''Green Missile''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]]
 
The '''Green Missile''' is Luigi's side B  special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When executed, Luigi will fly like a rocket across the stage, smashing any other characters and burning them. Luigi is able to charge this move up, which will allow him to fly farther and harder than usual. This will cause more damage to the opponent, sometimes rocketing the foe in the skies. Green Missile is actually a better third jump than his [[#Super Jump Punch|Super Jump Punch]] attack, as once Luigi has used that attack, he is unable to do anything else until he lands. This attack is to compensate his slow lateral air speed. The attack is very similar to [[Pikachu|Pikachu's]] [[Pikachu#Skull Bash|Skull Bash]], as stated by Luigi's [[trophy]]. Luigi's Green Missile has a 12.5% chance of overpowering and going too far and causing more damage to his opponents (in Brawl a missfire doesn't go so far like in Melee, making it less risky).
<br clear=all>
 
=====Super Jump Punch=====
[[Image:SuperJumpBrawl.jpg|thumb|200px|right|'''Super Jump Punch''']]
 
The '''Super Jump Punch''' is a [[jump|jumping]] move [[Mario]], Luigi, and [[Dr. Mario]] can perform in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. It is executed by pressing B while holding the control stick upwards at the same time. When Luigi performs it, he jumps forward like Mario in the original SSB, but he jumps straight up in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. He can use the Green Missile to improve his chances of successfully recovering though.  When Luigi performs it, only one coin flies out of the enemy. But, if done correctly, the enemy is cloaked in fire and receives up to 25% damage. However, Luigi must be positioned right in front of his enemy for this Super Jump Punch to work, otherwise it results in 1% damage.  Luigi's helpless state is the same as Mario's in the first two games, but the helpless animation is completely different in ''Brawl''. Luigi will end up falling on his head after performing his Super Jump Punch in ''Brawl''. This leaves Luigi defenseless and able to be hit by a nearby player. If used correctly, it can be a [[Meteor Smash]].
 
=====Luigi Cyclone=====
[[Image:Luigi_Cyclone_Brawl.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Luigi Cyclone''' in ''Brawl''.]]
[[Image:Luigi tornado.jpg|thumb|right|''Melee'' '''Luigi Cyclone'''.]]
 
'''Luigi Cyclone''' is a [[Special Moves|special move]] that Luigi can perform in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.  After pressing B while tilting the Control Stick in the down position, Luigi would spin around in similar fashion to [[Mario]]'s [[Mario#Mario Tornado|Mario Tornado]]. He would pull in nearby opponents, spin them around, severely damaging them in the process, and then fling them in the air, which will leave them open for more attacks. However, the move takes a while to use, and because of its lack of effect on a single opponent, the move is best used when surrounded. Also Luigi Cyclone has the ability to move rather than Mario Tornado making it ideal if characters are far from Luigi. In all three games, the cyclone allows Luigi for vertical movement if the B button is pressed repeatedly. It is, however, easier in ''Brawl''. The Cyclone was also changed in ''Brawl'' to make it more similar to the Mario Tornado, i.e. it will suck in foes instead of just launching them away and also it's much easier to gain height.
 
=====Negative Zone=====
[[Image:Negative_Zone.jpg|thumb|200px|right|'''Negative Zone''']]
 
'''Negative Zone''' is Luigi's [[Final Smash]] in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' for the [[Wii]]. It is a rather bizarre Final Smash, after Luigi breaks open the [[Smash Ball]], he starts dancing around in a strange, almost hypnotic way and a large green circle appears on the stage, which has a fairly large radius. Everything in the circle is altered to look like a negative image, hence the name. Any opponents caught in this circle will be affected by a variety of effects, such as uncontrollable [[taunt|taunting]]. They can escape from the circle and possibly avoid from the effects after leaving the circle. They will be affected while the green circle is still on the stage, and will stay affected a little bit after the circle disappears. Luigi remains able to move at full speed, giving him a clear advantage over his opponents for a short period of time. The effects wear off after a little while, when the green circle starts to shrink.
 
The effects are:
* Drastically reduced attack power
* Greater launch distance when hit
* Increased likelihood of slipping
* Steady increase in damage percentage
* [[Lip's Stick|Flower growth]] on head
* Dizziness
* Uncontrollable taunting
* Sudden sleepiness
* Decreased movement speed
 
====Other Moves====
=====Dash Attack=====
[[Image:Hidden03_080215d-l.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Luigi performs his dash attack.]]
While dashing, Luigi can perform a dash attack.  His dash attack involves doing repeated punches to inflict damage on opponents.  Most of the hits are weak, but the last hit tends to have more knockback than the other hits (although that's easier to notice in ''Brawl'').  This move appeared in all three installments of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''.

== Personal Information ==
=== Physical Description ===
Luigi is very similar to his older brother in appearance, although Luigi is slimmer and taller. His face is notably thinner and chinless. Luigi has a smoothed mustache and light blue eyes. He wears unfaded denim jean overalls, brown work shoes, and a green long-sleeve shirt. [[Luigi's Hat]] is similar to [[Mario's Hat]], being green instead of red and having an "L" replace Mario's signature "M." Artwork for the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] has consistently depicted Luigi as wearing red and white striped socks; this trait is not present in any other games.
 
Mario and Luigi's color preferences are reflected throughout the land in the form of various enemies, such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Cheep Cheep]]s, who also come in red and green varieties. These foes even reflect the brothers' personalities, with red ones being more aggressive and green ones acting cautious. In fact, Mario and Luigi are not the only known red and green brothers, with similarly color-coded siblings including [[Cork and Cask]], [[Red the Bridgemaster|Red]] and [[Green the Bridgemaster|Green]], the [[Armored Harriers]], and [[Gigi]] and [[Merri]]. When [[Tattle|tattling]] the younger of the Armored Harriers, [[Goombella]] theorizes that it may be some sort of rule that younger brothers must wear green, offering a possible explanation for Luigi's trademark green shirt and hat.
 
However, Luigi has not always chosen to wear his usual green and blue clothes. ''Mario Bros.'' originally dressed Luigi in a black shirt and green overalls, although artwork showed his shirt to be red. ''Wrecking Crew'' egregiously<ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/video/top-ten-screwattack/23547 ScrewAttack] criticizes Luigi's bizarre palette in ''Wrecking Crew'' alongside the game as a whole, calling ''Wrecking Crew'' "as boring as Luigi is purple."</ref> gave him a magenta pair of overalls and helmet, seemingly leaving him shirtless. Even ''Super Mario Bros.'' gave its Luigi a green shirt and white overalls (although ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' replaced this with a less aberrant brown shirt and green overalls, leaving his original colors to Fire Luigi, who usually has an inverse scheme), despite the fact that his usual palette and appearance had emerged in artwork.
 
Luigi is rather infamous for being a [[Wikipedia:Palette swap|palette swap]] of Mario in his earlier adventures. This applies to ''Mario Bros.'', ''Wrecking Crew'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and even the rare solo quest that is ''Mario is Missing!''. Luigi's first unique sprites came in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', in which his artwork appearance conveniently coincided with the tall [[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic#Characters (And Their American Counterparts)|Mama]]'s sprite.<ref name="ign" /> Nintendo of Japan would not adapt Luigi's artwork differences to his in-game sprite until ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', although Luigi's various models have been unique almost ever since, even in remakes of games where he was originally a palette swap (such as ''Super Mario All-Stars'', ''Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario Advance 2'', and ''Super Mario Advance 4'').
 
Both Mario and Luigi have been described as "cutesy," to the extent that Shigeru Miyamoto considered redesigning them to "become a bit more grown-up" in the [[GameCube]] era, for instance by removing their trademark [[Wikipedia:V sign|V sign]].<ref>[http://cube.ign.com/articles/069/069250p1.html IGN] (Accessed on 7-6-09)</ref> However, aside from growing more realistic as graphics have advanced, Luigi and his brother have changed little over the years, and continue to flash the V sign regularly.
 
Luigi's appearance does, however, tend to lend itself to heavy stylization. The ''Luigi's Mansion'' graphical team took it upon themselves to animate every part of Luigi to convey emotion,<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=261 N-Sider] (Accessed on 6-28-09)</ref> resulting in such exaggerations to the plumber's body as head-expanding screams during boss cutscenes and complete flattenings by [[door|fake doors]]. The [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] applies Luigi's cowardice to his actions, making most of his attacks look reckless and unwilling and giving him awkward movements, securing his official title as the series' "dreamy, comical poster boy."<ref name="smash">[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/hidden03.html Smash Bros. DOJO!!] (Accessed on 6-28-09)</ref>
 
=== Personality ===
Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward. He also worries and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary. In keeping with his personality-based Power Flower, a sign in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' describes Luigi as "wispy."
 
Arguably, Luigi's most apparent trait is his cowardice. This was not seen until ''Luigi's Mansion'' (aside from a few hints in ''Paper Mario''), but it has carried over to almost all of Luigi's subsequent appearances. Although Luigi's
[[Wikipedia:Phasmophobia|phasmophobia]] is his most overbearing fear, he usually reconsiders at the mere thought of any monsters or trials, especially in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. However, Luigi can be quite brave, and has saved the Mushroom Kingdom alongside his brother multiple times. ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' especially glimpses into Luigi's more courageous side, showing him boldly rushing into dangerous situations and rarely even implicating his cowardliness.
 
Another strong element of Luigi's personality is his apparent complex over being overlooked. Although his [[Superstar]] status has earned him many fans, including [[Luigi Fan Club|an entire fan club]] led by [[Toadia]] and multiple supporting [[Toad (species)|Toads]] (one of which claims to be his biggest fan in ''Super Mario 64 DS''), even Bowser sometimes has trouble remembering his name (as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''), and he appears to be almost unknown in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. Although Luigi's biggest reactions to his frequent overlookings in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series are a few "..."'s and facefaults, his inattention was played up for comic relief in ''Paper Mario'', with the snarky man in green complaining about being left behind and perpetually training for that elusive next adventure.
 
Luigi's state of being in the shadow of his brother shows strongly in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. An example would be the way Luigi is almost never happy, how his commentary is very monotoned, and how one of his taunts is a bashful kick of the ground. Also, his Final Smash, [[Negative Zone]], seemed to have developed because of living in his brother's shadow forever.  Additionally, whenever the crowd cheers for Luigi, not too many people are heard cheering for him and when the announcer says Luigi's name, he sounds a little surprised. Despite this, however, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] did not intend to play up Luigi's overshadowed status, instead aiming to make him "everyone's favorite man in green."<ref name="smash" />
 
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; his partners claim his stories are false. [[Super Luigi series|The novelizations]] of his escapades describe them with even more flowery exaggerations, stating for instance that he played an earth spirit in the [[Jazzafrazz Town]] Drama Slam (whereas he actually played grass, according to [[Hayzee]]) and that he awoke [[Cranberry]] with "a soft call" (rather than a sneeze).
 
In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', the [[Star Gate]] (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter.  This most likely has something to do with Luigi's "dark secret from his past," which it also mentions; Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. However, in a interview with a member of staff, he stated Luigi had no dark secret, and it was actually a reference to the fact Luigi constantly lives in the shadow of his brother. He also added: "Why make Luigi into a bad guy? We have [[Waluigi]] for that instead!"{{fact}} Even the game itself makes a straightforward point that Luigi has a large heart, as proven when he hits the [[Aurora Block]] and it grows to a gigantic size, flattening him.
 
Luigi is also portrayed as somewhat refined, leading the "[[Mario Sunshines|Luigi Gentlemen]]" in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. ''Luigi's Mansion'' shows him to be a bit of a neat freak, constantly criticizing the dustiness of his mansion and even mentioning at one point that he handwashes his cap as opposed to using a washing machine as his brother does. He also seems to have an eye for art, but doesn't appreciate many of King Boo's decorations. Like [[Toadette]], Luigi can be sensitive when someone insults him, especially if the jab in question regards his mustache (as proven prior to his showdown with [[Dimentio]]).
 
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 conversationalist 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]]). Once he joins Mario's party, however, he only talks during scenes where the four heroes are shown together. Curiously, the inverse seems to be the case in the rare instance of a Luigi-only quest; both brothers are capable of captioned speech in ''Luigi's Mansion'', but Luigi is limited to ellipses and question marks when interacting with another character. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, Luigi, as well as Mario, talks in gibberish that the player can't interpret, but the other characters in the game do.
 
In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Luigi is consistently portrayed as being the smarter of the two, but the cowardice trait is also shown as Luigi is scared of things going very wrong. He also doesn't take as many risks as Mario does.
 
Overall, Luigi's personality is hard to determine and tends to change depending on the appearance. Very few games have portrayed him with a personality that lasts throughout the subsequent release. Overall, however, Luigi can be described as timid and cautious, yet kindhearted and willing to protect his homeland with Mario's help - It is perhaps this irony, the basis of Luigi's character, that makes his personality so complex.
 
=== Luigi's Voice ===
Luigi's voice has varied in different games, unlike his brother, whose voice has basically remained unchanged since ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Luigi has had a high and low quality voice in many of his appearances. His voice sounds much like Mario's, retaining the characteristic Italian accent but with a lower pitch and different tone. The player can sample this in the ''Mario Party'' series when the player chooses him or gets a star. Two notable quotes he'd say are ''"Good choice"'' (''[[Mario Party 3]]'') and ''"Yeah, Luigi has got it again!"'' (''[[Mario Party 6]]''). Luigi was first given a voice in-game in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', where he originally had a very high-pitched variant of his usual voice, although his clips were re-recorded much lower for the game's English release.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mk64_j-e.shtml#sounds The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 6-27-09)</ref> (His original voice, however, survived in all releases of ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.) Although his lower-pitched voice has mostly stuck, the first two games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] merely sped up Mario's voice clips (from ''Super Mario 64'') to create Luigi's voice, though ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives him his usual lower-pitched voice. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', his voice changes again, with a rougher and deeper Italian voice. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', his voice is more matured.
 
Almost invariably, Luigi's voice has been supplied by [[Charles Martinet]] in games. Martinet invented the voice after fans requested to speak to Luigi through [[Mario in Real Time]] - Although a Luigi in Real Time does not exist, Martinet compromised by allowing Luigi to "come into the TV set for [[spaghetti]]" alongside [[Mama Mario|Mama]] and [[Papa]], all conversing with Mario.<ref>[http://archive.gamespy.com/interviews/august02/mario/ GameSpy] (Accessed on 6-27-09)</ref> Prior to Martinet, [[Mark Graue]] gave Luigi a very high-pitched Brooklyn accent in ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', and [[Danny Wells]] and [[Tony Rosato]] gave Luigi cautious, wavering Brooklyn accents for the cartoon series. [[John Leguizamo]] also gave his portrayal of Luigi a Brooklyn accent for [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|the movie]].
 
=== Luigi's Age ===
Originally, Luigi was introduced as Mario's younger brother. The first indication of their specific age difference was in "[[Family Album "The Early Years"]]", which implied that Luigi was born after Mario by several years. However, ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi Touch & Go''<ref>The ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' instruction booklet states that the Stork is carrying a pair of newborn twins (referring to Mario and Luigi) on page six.</ref> described the brothers as twins. The remake of the game, ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', did not expressly call them twins, but noted that Luigi was Mario's younger brother, carried to their parents at the same time.  However, many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi may have been the second born twin, regardless of his delivery by [[The Stork]]. Since Luigi is still said to be Mario's younger twin brother it can be assumed that he was born right after Mario, making them just about the same age. In ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Luvbi]] refers to Mario and Luigi as twins at the end of chapter 7-1. It should be noted that in the same game, though, Luigi referred to Mario as "big bro" on more than one occasion. Also, Luigi's Trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' also referred to him as "younger twin brother". However, Colonel Roy Campbell calls Luigi a "kid brother" to Snake during Snake's Codec conversation in the same game.
 
=== Abilities ===
As to not give [[player]]s advantages over each other, Luigi's abilities are usually exactly the same as Mario's, such as in ''Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World''. In most instances where one player can choose between the two brothers, however, Luigi is given his own gameplay quirks. This first occurred in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', where Luigi can jump higher than Mario but has lower traction and speed. In the American ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Luigi once again features the highest jump, but comparatively low speed and power. Luigi's high jumps but low traction would return in ''[[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World]]'', which, unlike its original version, allowed players to switch between Mario and Luigi at any time on the map screen. In three-dimensional adventures, such as ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Luigi is usually faster than Mario (at the cost of poorer acceleration), but retains his classic high jumps and poor traction.
 
As aforementioned, Luigi has a higher top speed but poorer acceleration than his brother in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', along with poor traction and increased agility. Luigi's jumps are perhaps at their strongest in this game; not only can Luigi jump higher than his brother, but he can also scuttle to slow his fall. His backflip has the same effect as being caught in a [[Tweester]] or stomping a [[Fly Guy|Fire Guy]], allowing for a very slow descent. Unlike Mario, however, Luigi cannot [[Wall Jump]] in this game. As a result of his agility and lightness, Luigi can walk on water for a short time. Luigi's [[Power Flower]] is [[Vanish Mario|Vanish Luigi]], allowing him to disappear for invincibility and the ability to walk through certain obstacles.
 
In ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi's specialty is the [[Spring Jump]], which sends him just off the screen to bound over obstacles and damage enemies mid-air. His standard jumps are also higher than any other character's and he has lower traction once more.
 
Electricity is sometimes depicted as Luigi's answer to Mario's fire. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with a technique known as the [[Thunderhand]] (alongside his other specialty, the [[High Jump]]). This is referenced in ''Super Paper Mario'' with Mr. L's nickname of "The Green Thunder," and in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', where Luigi's [[Mega Strike]] involves controlling electricity.
 
In addition to actual gameplay differences, Luigi often executes his moves differently than his brother. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', Luigi jumps with his legs back and descends with them forward, kneels when sliding, and, interestingly enough, appears to spit fireballs rather than throwing them. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' give Luigi green fireballs, and in the former games his fireballs levitate. Perhaps most famously, Luigi's jumping animation in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is merely his walking animation sped up; although Luigi's "kicking" jumps were momentarily ignored, they returned in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]], complete with a high-pitched warbling sound effect in ''Super Mario Advance 2'' and ''4''. Luigi's aforementioned scuttle from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' also involves walking in mid-air, and the Eternal Understudy "kicks" during his Triple Jump in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
 
Luigi has also exhibited many unique traits in various sports and spin-off games, despite usually being a balance character like his brother. In games such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Luigi has a higher top speed than Mario, but has lower handling and acceleration. In the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], Luigi his with less power than his brother but features better control, although his shots consistently curve left. Luigi is slightly faster than Mario in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', and reveals his special pitch and swing (the [[Tornado Ball]] and [[Tornado Swing]], respectively) in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
 
Despite his skills, Luigi is also somewhat clumsy. For example, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', he accidentally bumps one of his partners, [[Blooey]] the [[Blooper]], into a volcano while trying to stop evil, burning him to a golden crisp but not killing him. Usually, though, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario can not, and in fact appears to be the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom.
=== Roles Taken ===
Luigi is a hero, but usually a sidekick, although in some media and games he is referred to as a partner. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' games, he is the cowardly partner to [[Mario]], and is occasionally forced to be brave. He is the hero of a separate adventure the player doesn't get to play or see in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where he is a coward who changes the story to make himself 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]]. He was also brainwashed by [[Nastasia]] to become a villain, Mr. L, and was later brainwashed again by [[Dimentio]] to become [[Super Dimentio]], the final boss. His sidekick role was completely different in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where he was the sole main character who had to rescue Mario.
 
===Nicknames===
Since Mario has starred in many more games and has been on many more adventures than Luigi, he has received most of the popularity. Almost everyone knew who Mario was. Luigi, on the other hand, has smaller popularity compared to Mario's  and is unknown to most. Luigi's nicknames usually have to do with the color of his clothing.

==Interactions with Other Characters==
===Mario===
{{Main|Mario}}
 
[[Image:MLSS_MarioBros.jpg|thumb|right|Mario and Luigi care for each other deeply, but also have a more competitive side.]]
 
'''Mario''' is Luigi's older brother. Luigi often joins Mario in missions to save Peach, but Mario tends to go on adventures without him. Despite their lifelong sibling rivalry<ref>The ''Super Mario Kart'' manual (page 21) states that "Mario and Luigi have had a friendly rivalry that goes back to their childhood."</ref> and Luigi's jealously toward Mario, Mario and Luigi have always maintained a unique "brotherly love" for each other which is further proven when Luigi rescues his brother in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Baby Mario himself aided Yoshi in Luigi's rescue in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS''. Luigi also has a great admiration for his older brother and looks up to him, wishing to be "a great plumber like [his] brother Mario" in ''Super Mario RPG''. Mario and Luigi are automatic partners in most games.
 
<br clear="all">
 
===Princess Peach===
{{Main|Princess Peach}}
 
'''Princess Peach''' is portrayed to be Luigi's very close friend. In any game where Luigi can switch Mario for the same role, Peach reacts to him in the same manner she does to Mario, like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where Peach will give Luigi a kiss after he saves her. Similarly, ''Super Mario Galaxy''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> identical storyline for both Bros. has Rosalina referring to Peach as both Mario and Luigi's "special one." Luigi is seen swooning over Peach after she blows a kiss in her ''Mario Power Tennis'' victory scene. They were both together in ''Mario Power Tennis'' in Diddy Kong's and Koopa's endings. In ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi comes to Peach's rescue in an attempt to stop Count Bleck and the wedding between Peach and Bowser, focusing on Peach rather than attempting to save Mario. The two share chemistry in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', and are called "Green Eschort" in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
 
<br clear="all">
 
===Bowser===
{{Main|Bowser}}
 
[[Image:LuigiInGalaxy.PNG|thumb|right|Luigi confronts Bowser in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
 
'''Bowser''' is Luigi's first enemy. Luigi and Bowser have almost always been enemies, but Bowser's main rivalry is with Mario. It may be worthy of note that, in ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi was seemingly unaware of Bowser's almost clichéd past attempts, stalling to realize that Bowser was the sort of person who would kidnap Princess Peach, and even then not remembering Bowser's name until he actually encountered the Koopa King. Similarly, Bowser does not recognize Luigi when they meet in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', although he does remember who he is in ''Super Paper Mario''.
 
<br clear="all">
 
===Toad===
{{Main|Toad}}
 
'''Toad''' directly adventured with the brothers in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. 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. The various Toads' opinions of Luigi in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' greatly differ from one another, with one denying that he could have retrieved so many Power Stars and another referring to Luigi as "The world's most inept and least charismatic brother," while another refers to himself as Luigi's biggest fan and another states that "We'll have to call you the Luigi Brothers soon!". Toads also acted as Luigi's major allies in ''Luigi's Mansion'', giving special items (such as [[key]]s) and allowing the player to save their game. In the Mario cartoons, Toad appears as both a helper and a close friend of Mario and Luigi. Toad has been on good terms with Luigi for a very long time.
 
===Wario===
{{Main|Wario}}
 
'''Wario''' was saved from [[Chief Chilly]] by Luigi in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. In the past, [[Baby Wario]] saved [[Baby Luigi]] from [[Kamek]] along with [[Yoshi]] and other characters in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. Wario seems to have a competitive rivalry with Luigi, as shown when they argue over whether being a superstar requires brains or brawn in the ''[[Mario Party]]'' introduction. Wario also enjoys tying Luigi's shoelaces together.<ref>[http://www.gameboyadvance.com/wario/ ''Wario Land 4'' official website (now defunct)] (Accessed on 7-3-09)</ref> ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' has stated that Wario is the cousin of Mario and Luigi{{fact}}, but this hasn't been confirmed.
 
===Yoshi===
{{main|Yoshi}}
 
'''Yoshi''' is one of Luigi's oldest friends. When Luigi was kidnapped as a [[Baby Luigi|baby]] in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Yoshi and [[Baby Mario]] went to save him. The two saved Baby Luigi again in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS''.  Luigi occasionally rides Yoshi, such as in ''Mario is Missing!''. In the ''Super Mario World'' cartoon, Luigi is the one to have found Yoshi (who receives him as, humorously, a mother figure), as shown in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]."
 
===Princess Daisy===
{{Main|Princess Daisy}}
 
As previously noted, one of Princess Daisy's only appearances between ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Mario Tennis'' was in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. After Daisy appeared as an optional automatic partner for Luigi in ''Mario Tennis'', Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions, such as in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', where they are seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Some of their team names from the ''Mario Party'' series include "Steady Sweeties," "Tango Tanglers," and "Shy Sidekicks." Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in ''Mario Power Tennis'', wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweetie! I'll take that," while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share very good chemistry. Most recently, in ''Mario Kart Wii'', there is a giant statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together.Arguably the greatest evidence for any existing relationship between Luigi and Daisy is in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], released in 1993. Luigi and Daisy were quite clearly depicted as being infatuated with one another in this movie. Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', where Daisy's trophy biography states, ''"After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach"''.
 
===Waluigi===
{{Main|Waluigi}}
 
[[Image:MarioBrosVsWarioBros.jpg|thumb|right|Luigi and Waluigi scuffle for a Power Star alongside their partners.]]
 
'''Waluigi''' nurtures an especially hostile grudge against Luigi for unknown reasons. In ''Mario Tennis'', Luigi made a gesture at Waluigi which Waluigi reacted negatively to. They share a fierce rivalry in all the games they appear in together.
 
<br clear="all">
 
===King Boo===
{{Main|King Boo}}
 
'''King Boo''' was the main boss of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', starting a bitter rivalry. The two of them don't seem to work together very well, two examples being the bad chemistry between the two in ''Mario Baseball'' and the fact that Luigi claimed King Boo's old crown in ''Luigi's Mansion''. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Luigi was locked up by King Boo.
 
===Rosalina===
{{Main|Rosalina}}
 
[[Image:LuigiRosalinaPic.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi's picture with Rosalina.]]
 
'''Rosalina''' met Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Luigi helped her by aiding Mario in retrieving the Power Stars. In [[Battlerock Galaxy]], he tells Mario that he'll only give him the [[Green Power Star|Green Star]] if he tells Rosalina that he found it for her. Upon collecting all 121 stars with both Mario and Luigi, [[Mailtoad]] sends a picture when the player talks to him in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]]. Luigi's picture shows him, Rosalina, and the Toad Brigade with Peach's Castle in the background, while Mario's is of him, Peach, and three Lumas on the first planet of Good Egg Galaxy.
 
<br clear="all">
 
== Appearances in Other Media ==
=== Anime ===
[[Image: AnimeLuigi.png|thumb|left|200px|Luigi in ''The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach''.]]
The first animated Luigi appeared in the 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, although it may be worth noting that, at the time of ''The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s creation, Luigi had not yet been given a consistent palette and his current color scheme had not been introduced in-game. The anime also marked the first time Luigi was ever given a personality; ''The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach'' depicted Luigi as very greedy, typically thinking only of profits and characterized by his pickaxe and shovel, both of which he used to mine for [[Coin]]s. (As a matter of fact, Luigi often left adventuring with Mario and [[Kibidango]] to search for Coins,[[Image: AnimeLuigiTwo.jpg|thumb|150px|Luigi and Bowser in the Super Mario Amada Series.]] though he usually ended up helping them progress in various ways through his miserly efforts.) Luigi in the anime was also noticeably more serious and less dreamy than Mario, and he seemed to lack his brother's almost otherworldly connection to Princess Peach.
 
Luigi also appeared in another Mario anime movie, the [[Super Mario Amada Series]], which depicted as wearing his traditional blue and green clothing. Luigi only appears in the last story of the Super Mario Amada Series film, Shirayukihime ([[Wikipedia: Snow White|Snow White]]) appearing just in time to save Mario and Princess Peach from Bowser, who was portrayed as the stories' wicked queen.
 
 
 
==Other==
{{LLquote|That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!|Luigi|Super Mario World (TV series)|Super Mario World}}
 
[[Image:SMWLuigi.png|thumb|left|190px|Luigi as he is seen in the ''Super Mario World'' animated series.]]
Later, he was played by [[John Leguizamo]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]. He also appeared in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', (where [[Danny Wells]] portrayed him) and the other Western cartoons ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (TV series)|Super Mario World]]'' (both of which gave his role to [[Tony Rosato]]); it is interesting to note that ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' is the origin of Luigi's cautious, easily-frightened personality which Nintendo later brought into the games as well, including ''Luigi's Mansion''. Also in "Super Mario World" Luigi was the one who found Yoshi and which caused Yoshi to call him Mama Luigi. Luigi appeared appeared in the whole ''91 episodes'' of the three cartoon series, interestingly [[Mario]] only appeared in 90 episodes.
 
Though these are the only widely-known depictions of Luigi in other media, it is perhaps interesting to note that the character was first played in live-action (by an unknown actor) in a certain ''Mario Bros.'' commercial, more specifically one for the [[Atari 2600]] version.
 
The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic serial's depiction of Luigi, oddly, features him in an opposite portrayal to his personality in the games and cartoons. In the first installment, Luigi wants to eat his lunch first and whines about his hunger as Mario continues with their plumbing job. Later, Luigi is actually willing to go into a Ghost House that Bowser has set as a trap for them, despite Mario's warnings, and then ends up going in anyway when Bowser lets loose the scent of a giant hunk of aged provolone cheese. Also worth noting is that, prefiguring ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Luigi disguises himself as Princess Peach to infiltrate the Koopalings' hideout.
 
Luigi also made several appearances in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic series, usually as a companion of his brother Mario. In the story "[[Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit]]", however, Luigi worked as a policeman and actually imposed a fine on Mario when the latter was violating the speed limit of [[Brooklyn]] while riding Yoshi. Luigi also insisted on being called "Officer Luigi."

==Bio from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' Writers Bible==
''Mario couldn't have a better teammate than his younger in age, but bigger in size, little brother Luigi, even though they approach their adventures with very different attitudes. Luigi always wishes Mario would take more time to weigh the risks before he leaps, swims, or flies into the unknown. But no matter how much he questions Mario's plans, Luigi always loyally follows him into the wildest dangers any Koopa could conceive. Luigi is your basic soft touch. A defender of downtrodden Mushrooms and Koopa-nabbed maidens. Naive, trusting and innocent, Luigi is '''not''' a bumbling fool. It's just that he's so nice and straightforward, which allows him to be sucked into a Koopa scheme, a Toad prank, or a Mario madcap plan.
 
==Trivia==
[[Image:Ac-cam-luigi-trophy.jpg|thumb|The Luigi Trophy in ''Animal-Crossing''.]]
*On ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Luigi was revealed to be able to speak [[Pidgit]].
*Luigi was the second best "property" in [[Nintendo Monopoly]], losing only to his famous brother, [[Mario]]. Here, he replaces Park Place and costs $350.
*Luigi appears in ''Animal-Crossing'' as a furniture item called the Luigi Trophy.
*There is an item in "Animal Crossing" called the "Little Bro hat."  This hat is almost identical to Luigi's characteristic green "L" hat.
*The first live-action portrayal of Luigi was in a commercial for ''Mario Bros.'' from 1983<ref name="mbcommercial" />. Mario himself would not appear in live-action until ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' aired in 1989.

“I'm-a Luigi! Number one!”
—Luigi, Mario Kart 64

Luigi (Japanese ルイージ, Ruīji) is a heroic individual from the Mushroom Kingdom who has assisted or fought alongside his brother, Mario on many occasions. Throughout his life he has lived in Mario's shadow, developing both cowardly and heroic tendencies. Mario Bros. marks his first appearance in a Super Mario arcade game. Originally a color swap of Mario, Luigi was created to facilitate a second player. Since the two player mode was dropped from most Super Mario games beginning with Super Mario 64, Luigi has gained his own identity and personality.

History

Luigi was born when Shigeru Miyamoto set out to create Mario Bros.[1] after being told Mario resembled a plumber, a notion he wanted to officially establish.[2] For this particular adventure, however, Miyamoto wished to incorporate a two-player mode after seeing a similar option in Joust[2][3]: Miyamoto's answer to Joust's stork-riding Player 2 was Luigi, Mario's green-clad younger twin brother with whom he could compete or cooperate with. Two-player mode in mind, Nintendo and publishing companies such as Atari gave Luigi immediate publicity, making him the star of multiple advertisements for the game.[4][5]

There is much debate as to how Luigi earned his name. Some have proposed that it is a pun on Ruiji, both the Japanese pronunciation of Luigi's name and a Japanese word meaning "similar" or "analogous" (which can be said of Luigi in relation to Mario).[2][6] However, it has also been theorized that his name was taken from Mario & Luigi's, a pizza parlor near Nintendo of America's headquarters in Redmond, Washington.[2][3] This would appear to be the true explanation, as Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed the name was conjured by NOA.[6] Either way, Mario and Luigi are (respectively) the fourth and fifth most popular male Italian names[7], and as such sound natural and help to define the series.

Since his debut in 1983, Luigi has been constantly developing. Gameplay differences between him and Mario were first seen in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. After spending years as an edit of his brother, Luigi has consistently had his own graphics since Super Mario Kart in 1992, with earlier exceptions including the American Super Mario Bros. 2. As aforementioned, Luigi has begun earning his own personality in the post-Super Mario 64 era, starting with Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion.

Games

The two babies with their family.
Main article: Baby Luigi

In the beginning of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi were being delivered to their mother and father's home by the Stork. However, Baby Luigi was quickly snatched away by Kamek and taken to Baby Bowser's castle. Fortunately, Baby Mario landed right on Yoshi's back on Yoshi's Island. Baby Mario somehow had the instinct to know where Baby Luigi was and pointed the way to Baby Bowser's Castle indefinately, and with that knowledge, Baby Mario and Yoshi teamed up with the other Yoshis to rescue Baby Luigi. After a lengthy expedition, Baby Bowser was defeated and Baby Luigi was rescued. After the credits, both Baby Luigi and Baby Mario are sent to their parents and finished the journey they had started in the beginning of the game.

Captured by Kamek... Again

Six of the Star Children.

Baby Luigi appears once again in Yoshi's Island DS. Here, he and several other babies are kidnapped. As Bowser and Kamek were searching for the seven Star Children, who could bring him ultimate power. Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, and for a brief period, even Baby Bowser teamed up with the Yoshis to save the babies again. After defeating Bowser, Baby Luigi and the other babies were rescued, and peace was restored once more. It turned out that Baby Luigi was one of the Star Babies as well as the five babies that rescued him.

Of Plumbing

File:MarioBrosSprites.PNG
Luigi as a palette swap of Mario.

Luigi's first playable appearance was in Mario Bros., where he was simply a palette swap of Mario with the same controls and abilities. There were no other differences in physical appearance.

In the game, Luigi and Mario were portrayed as plumbers. While working in the sewers one day, the Bros. found the sewers infested with Shellcreepers, Slipices, and many other monstrous creatures. They attacked the monsters, and were eventually able to cleanse the sewers of them. In the remake, they even had to fight off the evil King Bowser, and luckily, they succeeded.

The First Adventure

File:Smb1 luigi.gif
Luigi's appearance in Super Mario Bros.

In Super Mario Bros., after Mario and Luigi fought the monsters of Mario Bros., they returned to the Mushroom Kingdom where they were told by the Mushroom King that the evil king Bowser had kidnapped Princess Toadstool and her Mushroom Retainers.

Mario and Luigi then went to save the kidnapped Princess Toadstool and rescue her from the king of Koopas. The Mario Brothers had to travel 8 diffrent worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom, each world complete with it's own challenges that Luigi and Mario had to face. The brothers fought many enemies, defeated Bowser, and saved the princess along with the Mushroom Retainers. In this game, Luigi had the same jumping powers, same traction, and the same running speed as Mario.

Later, in The Lost Levels, the Bros. were once again called to save Princess Peach from the Koopa Troop. Bowser had set up many more traps for the Mario Bros., but nevertheless they prevailed and saved the princess yet again. This time, Luigi could jump higher and further than Mario, but he had less traction.

Mario and Luigi spent the remainder of their lives aiding the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser.

Destroying Walls

File:Wrecking Weegee.png
In Wrecking Crew

Luigi was once again the second player in Wrecking Crew. Luigi's sprite was still a palatte swap of Mario's, but this time Luigi was dressed in purple. In this game, Mario and Luigi work on a demolition site. The goal is to break down every stone wall on each stage. Defeating enemies in this game is not easy, as Mario and Luigi's regular hammer deals them no damage. However, it might make Foreman Spike fall down if one of the Mario Bros. can hit him with it. If an enemy wanders underneath a drum, Mario or Luigi can trap them by causing the drum to fall.

An Odd Dream

Luigi
Luigi's artwork in Super Mario Bros. 2.

Luigi was one of four characters in Super Mario Bros. 2 that found himself in a very strange world called Subcon that was under attack. The culprits were King Wart and his large army of dream creatures. The next morning, the four friends decided to go on a picnic, and happen stumble upon the strange world they had dreamed of. They found that everything they had been told was true; it was under the rule of the evil Wart. Luigi, and his three friends confronted Wart and his forces, defeating them one by one. The four heroes then stumbled upon Wart's lair and battled him by choking him with Vegetables. Wart finnally fell and the four heroes were able to release the Subcons. At the end of the game it was revealed that the events of the game was just Mario's dream.

In Subcon, Luigi could jump higher than all of his friends, and was the third strongest in the group. Eventually, the whole adventure was shown to be Mario's dream.

King Koopa's Revenge!

File:SuperMarioBros3.png
Luigi jumping in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Bowser now traveled with a massive Airship, and his children in Super Mario Bros. 3. He transformed all of the kings in the world into odd creatures, and then proceeded to make his children kings of all the different lands. Much like in Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi was capable of jumping higher than Mario, but had reduced traction.

Mario and Luigi were called upon by Princess Peach to save the day again. The brothers went on another adventure to save not only the Mushroom Kingdom but the Mushroom World. Luigi and Mario faced many challenges and obstacles, from the Koopalings Airships to the scorching climate of Desert land and even the chilling weather of Ice Land the brothers defeated every enemy that confronted them. After defeating the Koopalings, and turning the kings back to their regular state, the brothers found out from a letter sent from Bowser that he kidnapped the Princess while they were away. The Mario Bros. went to the frightening home of Bowser, Dark Land, to save the kidnapped Princess Peach.

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

A Restless Vacation in Dinosaur Land

After the events of Super Mario Bros. 3, Princess Toadstool and the Mario Brothers went on a vacation to Dinosaur Land in the game Super Mario World. Mario, Luigi and Toadstool hopped on a hot air balloon to get to the tropical island. Luigi had found a magical Feather on the island that allowed anyone who grabbed it to turn into cape form. Mario and Luigi flew around Dinosaur Island. When they returned, they found Toadstool missing again. Bowser and his children had kidnapped Princess Toadstool along with seven Baby Yoshis and trapped any Yoshis he met in eggs. Luigi, Mario, and Yoshi traveled the many diffrent areas of Dinosaur Land in search of the princess. The brothers used Yoshi as their trusty steed throughout their adventure. After defeating all seven of the Koopalings the Mario Bros. uncovered Bowser's secret hideout. Ready for anything the brothers and Yoshi charged to Bowser's Castle. After fighting many enemies the Brothers finally confronted Bowser and his Koopa Clown Car. Using the Mecha Koopas that Bowser tossed down at the brothers against him the Mario Brothers were able to defeat Bowser once again and rescue the princess and the seven Yoshi eggs.

Finding Yoshi

In the Super Mario World television series, Luigi fell from a lava waterfall and landed on a skull raft. After that, he found a yoshi egg.The Yoshi affectionately called Luigi Mama Luigi and thinks of him as his mother. The yoshi assisted in rescuing Princess Peach and defeating King Koopa

A Missing Bro.

File:Marioismissing.jpg

In Mario is Missing!, Mario was kidnapped by Bowser and it was up to Luigi to find him. During his quest, Luigi learned about geography, battled Bowser's seven children, and got help from Yoshi, while traveling across the real world to find Mario. In the end he saved Mario. Then, the Mario Bros. loaded Bowser into a cannon and fired him into the snow. Bowser froze instantly and split in half. However, this ending only applies to the SNES version of the game. This game marked Luigi's solo-adventure debut and was the only solo adventure for Luigi until 2001.

Explorers of Hotels

File:MarioCartoonCutscene.PNG
Luigi appears in all cutscenes of Hotel Mario, here are two screenshots showing him, 2 others with the princess

Luigi is one of the main characters in the game Hotel Mario. Princess Peach was retained as a "permanent guest" by Bowser, who turned the Mushroom Kingdom into his own personal resorts. Eventually, Luigi and Mario destroyed each of the seven Koopaling Hotels. They then defeated Bowser at his own palace and rescued the princess. Luigi is controlled by the 2nd player, his sprite being a palette swap of Mario. This is Luigi's only run on the Phillips CD/I.

Cameoed with 1 wish

Luigi in the credits.

While Luigi doesn't appear much 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 brother. In the ending of the game, Luigi is also the leader of the parade. Luigi also hosts the manual of Super Mario RPG. A screenshot from the beta version of the game shows Luigi (along with Mario and Mallow) attending a banquet hosted by Valentina.

Saving Wario in the Castle

File:Luigihop.jpg
Luigi to the rescue.

Although Luigi did not appear in Super Mario 64, he did appear in its remake: Super Mario 64 DS. Luigi, along with Mario and Wario, entered Princess Peach's Castle after she invited them. Bowser and his Koopa Troop shortly then took over the castle and captured each of the plumbers, Luigi was locked behind a door and the key to said door was guarded by King Boo. Eventually, Yoshi, who was sleeping on the castle roof and therefore didn't get captured by Bowser's troop, managed to rescue Mario, who then managed to find King Boo's hideout and defeat the Boo's leader in battle, allowing him to get the key needed to free Luigi. While only Luigi can get several stars, several Luigi Caps can be found on a few courses, which allows the bearer to mimic Luigi appearance and abilities perfectly, excluding his voice. Every level in the game will get a Luigi Cap once Luigi is rescued. Luigi is also the only character who could save Wario from Chief Chilly's grasp, as it is necessary to walk through a mirror to get to Wario's painting.

Luigi's Special Ability from a Power Flower is to become invisible. This ability allows him to evade enemies, and go through certain walls. If the player holds down the R Button then Jump, Luigi will Jump backwards while spinning in Midair. Luigi also can flutter a bit after Jumping, which was first used in Super Mario Bros. 2, and run on water for a short period of time.

Writing a diary

Luigi parade.png

During the events of Paper Mario, Luigi is left to protect and maintain his home while his brother pursues the Star Spirits. Luigi spent most of his time lamenting on his inactivity, begging for Mario to take him along and practicing for future quests. With all his downtime, Luigi also built a basement in which he kept a secret diary where he wrote about various things, such as how he dislikes being left out of adventures with his brother. An entry in his diary foreshadows his next solo quest, Luigi's Mansion. He also leads the parade in the end credits, much like in Super Mario RPG.

Alone in a spooky prize

File:LM Luigi Flee.jpg
Luigi, as seen in Luigi's Mansion

During Luigi's Mansion, Luigi won a mansion in a contest he hadn't even entered. Luigi called Mario and asked him to visit the mansion. Mario got to the mansion first, but when Luigi arrived, Mario was nowhere to be found and ghosts haunted the mansion. Luigi met Professor E. Gadd and received the Poltergust 3000, a vacuum that allowed him to capture ghosts.

Luigi went through the mansion, vacuuming many ghosts,in order to save his helpless brother from the King of all Boos. In order to fill E. Gadds gallery and find King Boo, Luigi had to capture twenty-three special ghosts. These ghosts were more powerful than regular ghosts and each had a special ability unique to that ghost. After defeating all of the spooks, Luigi had to confornt King Boo himself. Dressed in a Bowser Suit King Boo had all the powers of Bowser and More, but nevertheless Luigi prevailed and capture the King of all ghosts. Returning to E.gadd's Lab the professor turned them into paintings. Luigi saw that Mario had been turned into a painting as well. With the help of E. Gadd, he was freed from his pastel prison in a rather comedic way. After cleaning his mansion of the ghosts Luigi was able to build a new and better version of his spooky mansion. After Mario was rescued, he went with Peach on another vacation, but this time, without Luigi.

Exploits In the Beanbean Kingdom

Luigi standing

After Mario returned from his latest adventure, in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi had to go on another adventure. When Cackletta stole Princess Peach's voice Mario and Luigi had to go to the Beanbean Kingdom to get it back. Luigi wanted to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom, but after a series of tragic and hilarious 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 was fearful the majority of the time. Luigi is even is the damsel for a while. Luigi also has to rescue Mario during the game when Mario gets Bean Fever. He gets hypnotized by Psycho Kamek into thinking he is Mario to get him more relaxed about going into the scary Guffawha Ruins. He goes to the Ruins to get Crabbie Grass, the cure for Bean Fever, for Mario (which might not make sense because if Luigi thinks he is the real Mario he will not understand that the true Mario is sick). On the way back to the Mushroom Embassy in Little Fungitown to deliver the grass, he gets shocked by a lightning bolt and come back to his normal self. Luigi provides comic relief here, like in a few other games. For the first half of the game, most people recognize Mario then call Luigi things like "Mr. Green Stache" or "Mr. Other Mario Bro". This is humor derived from Luigi always being in Mario's shadow.

Luigi's adventures in the Waffle Kingdom

File:PaperLuigi2.png
Luigi, telling Mario his first story.

While Mario saved Princess Peach and collected 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 lies to make the story better and make himself sound much more heroic; Luigi's partners almost always secretly tell Mario what really happened. Later, Luigi gets interviewed and five 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.

He also appears in the audience when in battle, and cheers Mario on during the final battle with the Shadow Queen; one of the word bubbles in that battle reads "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. The "L Emblem Badge" makes the player wear Luigi's clothes. In the log for the enemy Iron Cleft, the log says the Cleft in the green shoes is younger, probably in reference to Luigi. Pennington constantly mistakes Mario for Luigi until the end of the game. Lastly, it is worthy of note that Luigi's silhouette was the first of the many white character silhouettes who walked across varying areas of the screen during the game's ending credits; this was likely done as to mirror Luigi's past RPG roles as a parade leader.

Plumbers in Distress

File:SPP Luigi.jpg
Luigi captured by a Hammer Bro.

In Super Princess Peach, Bowser's minions, using the power of the Vibe Scepter, kidnapped Mario. They also kidnapped Luigi and Toad because they got in the way. Peach goes on a quest to rescue them.

Bowser makes sure that he hides Luigi well because of what he has done in the past which leads him to hiding him late in the game.

Peach finds Luigi in the boss level of Giddy Sky, instead of a Toad. She defeats the boss, Giant Kamek, and rescues Luigi.

Back in Time

File:MandL2 BabyLuigi.jpg
Luigi, with his younger self Baby Luigi.

Once again, both Mario brothers unite in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The princess had recently used E. Gadd's Time Machine to go back in time and she was trapped there by the Shroobs. Mario now has to go save her again, and takes Luigi for some help.

Both brothers go back in time to find Peach. However when they go to the past, they're in the time period of the Shroob invasion. Later in the game, Mario and Luigi meet their younger selves, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, who help them find the princess.

The brothers look all over the past Mushroom Kingdom collecting Star Shards. The brothers run into many diffrent enemies both new and old. They also run into a few allies. Near the end of the brothers journey they traveled to Star Hill to find the remaining two peices of the Cobalt Star. There they meet the Star Gate, although passing Mario and the Babies worthy enough to travel through it the Star Gate judges Luigi and says that he is not worthy enough to go in brcause a dark secret in his past. After whispering to Luigi what that dark secret was the Star Gate gives them to choices: go home and have a nice pasta dinner ending their quest, or finding the Aurora Block. The brothers search through the entire Star Shirne and fine the Aurora Block. Giving the block back to the Star Gate the Gate asks Luigi who found the block. With only three answers (1. ME, 2. Mario, or 3. The Babies) to choose from. Which ever answer he picked from the Star Gate counted them all wrong and said there was a fourth answer Everyone. Saddened Luigi began to cry, angry by the actions of the Star Gate Mario and Baby Mario confront the gate. After seening them stand up for thier brother the Gate labels them the best siblings ever and allows Luigi to pass. The Star Gate tells the brothers that it was just a test and tells Luigi to strike the Aurora Block with all of his might The Star Gate tells him that the block can grow by the size of the heart of the person who hits it, after saying that the Aurora Block grow to gigantic porportions and flattens Luigi. With new found love for eachother the brotherss contnued on with their journey. After collecting enough shards, 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 sadly as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi go back to their time.

A New Adventure with Mario

File:WeegeeJumpNSMB.png
Luigi Jumping.

Once again, in New Super Mario Bros., Princess Peach was kidnapped and had to be saved by Mario. This time she had been kidnapped by Bowser Jr., Bowser's son. Mario went to save the princess with a little help from Luigi. Mario and Luigi traveled to the many areas of the Mushroom Kingdom fighting the many enemies that Bowser and Bowser Jr. put in their way. At the castle in World 8 Mario and Luigi ended up fighting Dry Bowser (an undead version of Bowser). After being tricked into believeing that they had finally defeated Bowser, Bowser Jr. stole Peach and the Mario Bros. had to follow him to Bowser's Castle where they finally coonfronted,a now revived Bowser and Bowser Jr.. Again the Mario Bros. defeated Bowser and his son and rescued Peach once again. Luigi is a secret character in this game, and his role is the same as Mario's. Luigi also appears in this game's multiplayer where he battles Mario for Stars.

The Mysterious Mr. L

Artwork of Mr. L from Super Paper Mario
Luigi's brainwashed thief-like and evil alter-ego, Mr. L.

In the game Super Paper Mario Luigi was 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 the fifth Pure Heart, Mr. L made his dramatic appearance in the Whoa Zone, Mario and his team seemed to not recognize Mr. L as being Luigi. He attacks with a super jump and can use Shroom Shakes during battle. To stop him from using the Shroom Shake, the player may attack him before it heals him. 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 Sammer Kingdom was destroyed. Here, he fights with Brobot L-Type. After being defeated, Dimentio betrays him and sends him to The Underwhere. He loses all memory of his having been Mr. L and returns to his normal state. Mario finds him scared in The Underwhere, and Luigi joins Mario on his quest.

File:PAPER LUIGI.jpg
The actual Luigi's appearance in Super Paper Mario.

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 fake suicidal attack. Princess Peach finds and awakens 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's name and attitude were likely taken from Mr. T, a wrestler. His personality and attire also seem to be similar to the "gentleman thief" archetype of classic literature. The pose he does represents ballet, and is mostly opposite of O' Chunks' disco-like pose, even in its colors, Mr. L's other name The Green Thunder, could also possibly be derived from the fictional super hero, Green Lantern. The Green Thunder may also be a reference Luigi's ability to use the Thunderhand acquired in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Mr. L is also referenced in Paper Luigi's trophy in Super Smash Bros Brawl, however, is mentioned as "Mister L" instead.

Battle in Space

File:LuigiGalaxy.gif
Luigi looking up at a Luma in Super Mario Galaxy

Luigi appears Super Mario Galaxy. When Bowser abducts Peach's Castle, Luigi and the Toad Brigade are apparently inside. However, they all escape and get lost in space. Luigi is kidnapped by the monster Bouldergeist and imprisoned in the Ghostly Galaxy. Mario must come and rescue him, after which he will help Mario in a handful of missions, including help in collecting stars (although, he gets lost every time, and must be rescued).

After the player collects all 120 stars and defeats Bowser again, Luigi will be playable. There are several differences when playing with Luigi: His run is faster, but takes more time to build up speed, it's harder for him to stop running, he can jump higher and he loses some breathing air when he does a Star Spin underwater. Additionally, Cosmic Luigi is faster and more intelligent than Cosmic Mario when racing.

Notably, the playable Luigi is a little shorter and has a different head shape than the NPC Luigi. His clothes are also slightly darker. The NPC Luigi refers to the playable Luigi as "me" as he calls Mario "bro."

Another new old school adventure

Luigi will be appearing in the upcoming game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. So far, there's no story information, but it is confirmed that Luigi will be part of the game's multiplayer mode. Template:Endspoiler

Other Appearances/Spin-offs

File:MKLuigi.PNG
Luigi in Super Mario Kart.

The Racing Plumber

Luigi is also playable in all of the Mario Kart series games. He often gets his own course, aptly named Luigi Circuit, usually the first and most simplistic. Luigi's kartss in this series are usually based around his green color, some, like the Poltergust 4000 are based on his adventures. Luigi's Mansion (place) also appeared as a battle stage in Double Dash and as a course in Mario Kart DS. In Mario Kart: Double Dash his automatic partner is mario and his special item is the Green Fireball. Luigi has been a medium weight racer since the first Mario Kart and has average stats and abililties.

Striker Luigi

Luigi is also a team captain in Mario Football and Mario Strikers Charged Football. He is a Balanced player, and his Mega Strike uses electricity, most likely referring to his ability from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga ability: Thunderhand. His Super Ability is Super Luigi!. Luigi's number in Mario Smash Football is 2. This is because he is the "second brother". In Mario Football his Super Strike is the Vicious Vortex.

The Partying Brother

Luigi is apart of the main cast in the Mario Party Series and appears in every game. In the earlier Mario Party games his character color was green but changed to blue in Mario Party 4. In Mario Party 2 and 3 his favorite item is the Skeleton Key and his partner is a Goomba. In Mario Party 3 Luigi is the only character to have a different Star Stamp (5 to be exact) and has every single one except for mischief, and beauty. In Mario Party 7 he shares his Character Orb with Mario, the Fireball Orb. Luigi's partner in these games is usually his brother Mario.

The Green Golfer

Luigi has appeared in every single game in the Mario Golf series. Luigi is usually similar to his brother with only a few minor difffrences. Luigi hits with more control but less power, and hits to the left while Mario hits to the right. His shots also tend to go a little lower than Mario's.

Tennis with Mario

Luigi also appears as a regular in the Mario Tennis cast. Luigi is an All-around tennis player like his brother. In Mario Power Tennis Luigi's Mansion appears as a court. Luigi's Offensive Power shot is the Squeaky Mallet and his Defensive Power Shot is the Poltergust Return. In the cutscenes of Mario Power Tennis Luigi usually appears playing alongside his brother mario on the court.

The Green Slugger

In Mario Superstar Baseball Luigi is an alternative captain to Mario. Luigi has similar stats and abilities to Mario in the series but Luigi can perform a Super Jump on the field while Mario cannot. In Mario Super Sluggers Luigi's Mansion appears again as a stadium. Luigi appears as a captain again and his team name is called the Luigi Knights. In challenge mode Luigi is the first player you can get on your team and stays as one for the remainder of the game.

Various Appearances

Luigi also appeared in Itadaki Street DS, where he joined many of his friends and Dragon Quest characters. He also appeared in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, where he is a Balanced racer. He also made an appearance in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games where he is an All-Around character, just like Mario. Luigi also appears in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Luigi's emblem in various games is his trademark L. In Mario and Wario Luigi appears as the games goal and the player has to navigate the level to get to Luigi.

He makes a small cameo in Yoshi's Story in the level Torrential Maze of the second world. His name is printed in the background of the stage.

Luigi Busts a Move

Luigi (or Mario, depending on who the player chooses) danced to save the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Waluigi went to Truffle Tower to steal the Music Keys and grant him the power to "hypnotize the rhythmless 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.

Luigi set out to find all four Music Keys, along with Toad. Using the S.S. Brass to navigate, Luigi challenged Waluigi (and other characters) to a "dance-off" and got all four Music Keys back.

After Luigi retrieved all the keys, Bowser accosted them. Bowser retreated into his castle and Luigi followed him on the S.S. Brass. Luigi won the "Final Dance Off" with him and got the Music Keys back. All the keys were subsequently returned to Truffle Tower.

Super Smash Bros. series

Template:SSB Infobox Luigi is a secret (unlockable) character in the fighting game Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. He is unlocked by beating Bonus stages as all eight of the default characters, and then beating him in a fight. Despite being unlockable, he always fights alongside Mario in Stage 4 of 1-P Mode, and briefly appears (alongside all unlockable characters) in the opening.

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 first level of Adventure Mode with a 2 in the "seconds" area of the remaining time. If done correctly, there would be a short cutscene with Luigi kicking Mario off the stage. The player then had to battle Luigi in Mario's place. If Luigi is beaten in less than a minute, then when finishing the Adventure Mode, Luigi would appear again to challenge the player.

He also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as an unlockable character once more. To unlock him, the player has to play 22 brawls, complete Classic mode without using continues, or simply get him to join you in The Subspace Emissary. Luigi's white color scheme in Super Smash Bros Melee and Super Smash Bros Brawl resembles Luigi's colors in Super Mario Bros. He is strong, has fast attacks, and is a middle weight. However, he has the lowest traction and very slow movement in both air and ground.

Role in the Subspace Emissary

Template:Spoiler

File:Subspace luigi.PNG
Luigi's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.

Luigi first appears where he pretends to threaten and attack on-coming Waddle Dees. They are harmless, and make no move to attack him, but he is frightened by them, nonetheless. Then, out of nowhere he is attacked from behind by King Dedede, who slams Luigi with his mallet, sending him flying into the air. After he comes back down, he becomes a trophy. King Dedede places him on the road as bait for Wario, who is coming down the road. Wario takes the bait, and Dedede manages to steal the princess and Ness trophies along with Wario's Cargo.

File:Luigi Ness Badges.jpg
Luigi and Ness get revived by Dedede's badges.

Dedede places a special badge on Luigi, Ness, and the princess, though the princess's badge is knocked off when Bowser flies off with the princess in his Koopa Clown Car and is later swallowed by Kirby. Later, when Tabuu turns everyone into trophies, the badges turn Luigi and Ness back into living creatures. The badges had the power to bring trophies back to life. Luigi and Ness afterward turned King Dedede back to life. The unlikely trio set off to help out Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus, Fox, Link, Yoshi, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Marth, Mr. Game & Watch, Falco, Pit, Captain Olimar, Lucas, Diddy Kong, the Pokémon Trainer, and Ike. Luigi, along with Ness, then watch Dedede fight Bowser, and later help him convince Wario to join them. After they turned everyone back to normal, they all fought Tabuu. Template:Endspoiler

Special Moves

Fireball
File:Fireball Luigi Brawl.jpg
Luigi's Fireballs in Brawl.
File:Mariobrosfireball.jpg
Fireball

Luigi used green fireballs in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and still uses it in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although the move was called Fireball, the same name as Mario's move, it differed slightly in both appearance and effect. Luigi's fireballs were green, matching his choice of clothing, and the fireballs were not effected by gravity. This means the fireball will always go straight, and won't bounce on the ground. However, other than that, nothing else was changed. Kirby can use Green Fireballs when he sucks up Luigi.

Green Missile
File:MissleBrawl.jpg
Green Missile
File:Luigi missile.jpg
Luigi preforming the Green Missile in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The Green Missile is Luigi's side B special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When executed, Luigi will fly like a rocket across the stage, smashing any other characters and burning them. Luigi is able to charge this move up, which will allow him to fly farther and harder than usual. This will cause more damage to the opponent, sometimes rocketing the foe in the skies. Green Missile is actually a better third jump than his Super Jump Punch attack, as once Luigi has used that attack, he is unable to do anything else until he lands. This attack is to compensate his slow lateral air speed. The attack is very similar to Pikachu's Skull Bash, as stated by Luigi's trophy. Luigi's Green Missile has a 12.5% chance of overpowering and going too far and causing more damage to his opponents (in Brawl a missfire doesn't go so far like in Melee, making it less risky).

Super Jump Punch
File:SuperJumpBrawl.jpg
Super Jump Punch

The Super Jump Punch is a jumping move Mario, Luigi, and Dr. Mario can perform in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is executed by pressing B while holding the control stick upwards at the same time. When Luigi performs it, he jumps forward like Mario in the original SSB, but he jumps straight up in Melee and Brawl. He can use the Green Missile to improve his chances of successfully recovering though. When Luigi performs it, only one coin flies out of the enemy. But, if done correctly, the enemy is cloaked in fire and receives up to 25% damage. However, Luigi must be positioned right in front of his enemy for this Super Jump Punch to work, otherwise it results in 1% damage. Luigi's helpless state is the same as Mario's in the first two games, but the helpless animation is completely different in Brawl. Luigi will end up falling on his head after performing his Super Jump Punch in Brawl. This leaves Luigi defenseless and able to be hit by a nearby player. If used correctly, it can be a Meteor Smash.

Luigi Cyclone

File:Luigi tornado.jpg
Melee Luigi Cyclone.

Luigi Cyclone is a special move that Luigi can perform in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After pressing B while tilting the Control Stick in the down position, Luigi would spin around in similar fashion to Mario's Mario Tornado. He would pull in nearby opponents, spin them around, severely damaging them in the process, and then fling them in the air, which will leave them open for more attacks. However, the move takes a while to use, and because of its lack of effect on a single opponent, the move is best used when surrounded. Also Luigi Cyclone has the ability to move rather than Mario Tornado making it ideal if characters are far from Luigi. In all three games, the cyclone allows Luigi for vertical movement if the B button is pressed repeatedly. It is, however, easier in Brawl. The Cyclone was also changed in Brawl to make it more similar to the Mario Tornado, i.e. it will suck in foes instead of just launching them away and also it's much easier to gain height.

Negative Zone
File:Negative Zone.jpg
Negative Zone

Negative Zone is Luigi's Final Smash in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. It is a rather bizarre Final Smash, after Luigi breaks open the Smash Ball, he starts dancing around in a strange, almost hypnotic way and a large green circle appears on the stage, which has a fairly large radius. Everything in the circle is altered to look like a negative image, hence the name. Any opponents caught in this circle will be affected by a variety of effects, such as uncontrollable taunting. They can escape from the circle and possibly avoid from the effects after leaving the circle. They will be affected while the green circle is still on the stage, and will stay affected a little bit after the circle disappears. Luigi remains able to move at full speed, giving him a clear advantage over his opponents for a short period of time. The effects wear off after a little while, when the green circle starts to shrink.

The effects are:

  • Drastically reduced attack power
  • Greater launch distance when hit
  • Increased likelihood of slipping
  • Steady increase in damage percentage
  • Flower growth on head
  • Dizziness
  • Uncontrollable taunting
  • Sudden sleepiness
  • Decreased movement speed

Other Moves

Dash Attack
Luigi performs his dash attack.

While dashing, Luigi can perform a dash attack. His dash attack involves doing repeated punches to inflict damage on opponents. Most of the hits are weak, but the last hit tends to have more knockback than the other hits (although that's easier to notice in Brawl). This move appeared in all three installments of the Super Smash Bros. series.

Personal Information

Physical Description

Luigi is very similar to his older brother in appearance, although Luigi is slimmer and taller. His face is notably thinner and chinless. Luigi has a smoothed mustache and light blue eyes. He wears unfaded denim jean overalls, brown work shoes, and a green long-sleeve shirt. Luigi's Hat is similar to Mario's Hat, being green instead of red and having an "L" replace Mario's signature "M." Artwork for the Mario & Luigi series has consistently depicted Luigi as wearing red and white striped socks; this trait is not present in any other games.

Mario and Luigi's color preferences are reflected throughout the land in the form of various enemies, such as Koopa Troopas and Cheep Cheeps, who also come in red and green varieties. These foes even reflect the brothers' personalities, with red ones being more aggressive and green ones acting cautious. In fact, Mario and Luigi are not the only known red and green brothers, with similarly color-coded siblings including Cork and Cask, Red and Green, the Armored Harriers, and Gigi and Merri. When tattling the younger of the Armored Harriers, Goombella theorizes that it may be some sort of rule that younger brothers must wear green, offering a possible explanation for Luigi's trademark green shirt and hat.

However, Luigi has not always chosen to wear his usual green and blue clothes. Mario Bros. originally dressed Luigi in a black shirt and green overalls, although artwork showed his shirt to be red. Wrecking Crew egregiously[8] gave him a magenta pair of overalls and helmet, seemingly leaving him shirtless. Even Super Mario Bros. gave its Luigi a green shirt and white overalls (although Super Mario Bros. Deluxe replaced this with a less aberrant brown shirt and green overalls, leaving his original colors to Fire Luigi, who usually has an inverse scheme), despite the fact that his usual palette and appearance had emerged in artwork.

Luigi is rather infamous for being a palette swap of Mario in his earlier adventures. This applies to Mario Bros., Wrecking Crew, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and even the rare solo quest that is Mario is Missing!. Luigi's first unique sprites came in Super Mario Bros. 2, in which his artwork appearance conveniently coincided with the tall Mama's sprite.[2] Nintendo of Japan would not adapt Luigi's artwork differences to his in-game sprite until Super Mario Kart, although Luigi's various models have been unique almost ever since, even in remakes of games where he was originally a palette swap (such as Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, Super Mario Advance 2, and Super Mario Advance 4).

Both Mario and Luigi have been described as "cutesy," to the extent that Shigeru Miyamoto considered redesigning them to "become a bit more grown-up" in the GameCube era, for instance by removing their trademark V sign.[9] However, aside from growing more realistic as graphics have advanced, Luigi and his brother have changed little over the years, and continue to flash the V sign regularly.

Luigi's appearance does, however, tend to lend itself to heavy stylization. The Luigi's Mansion graphical team took it upon themselves to animate every part of Luigi to convey emotion,[10] resulting in such exaggerations to the plumber's body as head-expanding screams during boss cutscenes and complete flattenings by fake doors. The Super Smash Bros. series applies Luigi's cowardice to his actions, making most of his attacks look reckless and unwilling and giving him awkward movements, securing his official title as the series' "dreamy, comical poster boy."[11]

Personality

Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward. He also worries and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary. In keeping with his personality-based Power Flower, a sign in Big Boo's Haunt in Super Mario 64 DS describes Luigi as "wispy."

Arguably, Luigi's most apparent trait is his cowardice. This was not seen until Luigi's Mansion (aside from a few hints in Paper Mario), but it has carried over to almost all of Luigi's subsequent appearances. Although Luigi's phasmophobia is his most overbearing fear, he usually reconsiders at the mere thought of any monsters or trials, especially in the Mario & Luigi series. However, Luigi can be quite brave, and has saved the Mushroom Kingdom alongside his brother multiple times. Super Paper Mario especially glimpses into Luigi's more courageous side, showing him boldly rushing into dangerous situations and rarely even implicating his cowardliness.

Another strong element of Luigi's personality is his apparent complex over being overlooked. Although his Superstar status has earned him many fans, including an entire fan club led by Toadia and multiple supporting Toads (one of which claims to be his biggest fan in Super Mario 64 DS), even Bowser sometimes has trouble remembering his name (as seen in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga), and he appears to be almost unknown in the Beanbean Kingdom. Although Luigi's biggest reactions to his frequent overlookings in the Mario & Luigi series are a few "..."'s and facefaults, his inattention was played up for comic relief in Paper Mario, with the snarky man in green complaining about being left behind and perpetually training for that elusive next adventure.

Luigi's state of being in the shadow of his brother shows strongly in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. An example would be the way Luigi is almost never happy, how his commentary is very monotoned, and how one of his taunts is a bashful kick of the ground. Also, his Final Smash, Negative Zone, seemed to have developed because of living in his brother's shadow forever. Additionally, whenever the crowd cheers for Luigi, not too many people are heard cheering for him and when the announcer says Luigi's name, he sounds a little surprised. Despite this, however, Masahiro Sakurai did not intend to play up Luigi's overshadowed status, instead aiming to make him "everyone's favorite man in green."[11]

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; his partners claim his stories are false. The novelizations of his escapades describe them with even more flowery exaggerations, stating for instance that he played an earth spirit in the Jazzafrazz Town Drama Slam (whereas he actually played grass, according to Hayzee) and that he awoke Cranberry with "a soft call" (rather than a sneeze).

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the Star Gate (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. This most likely has something to do with Luigi's "dark secret from his past," which it also mentions; Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. However, in a interview with a member of staff, he stated Luigi had no dark secret, and it was actually a reference to the fact Luigi constantly lives in the shadow of his brother. He also added: "Why make Luigi into a bad guy? We have Waluigi for that instead!"Template:Fact Even the game itself makes a straightforward point that Luigi has a large heart, as proven when he hits the Aurora Block and it grows to a gigantic size, flattening him.

Luigi is also portrayed as somewhat refined, leading the "Luigi Gentlemen" in Mario Superstar Baseball. Luigi's Mansion shows him to be a bit of a neat freak, constantly criticizing the dustiness of his mansion and even mentioning at one point that he handwashes his cap as opposed to using a washing machine as his brother does. He also seems to have an eye for art, but doesn't appreciate many of King Boo's decorations. Like Toadette, Luigi can be sensitive when someone insults him, especially if the jab in question regards his mustache (as proven prior to his showdown with Dimentio).

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 conversationalist 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). Once he joins Mario's party, however, he only talks during scenes where the four heroes are shown together. Curiously, the inverse seems to be the case in the rare instance of a Luigi-only quest; both brothers are capable of captioned speech in Luigi's Mansion, but Luigi is limited to ellipses and question marks when interacting with another character. In the Mario & Luigi series, Luigi, as well as Mario, talks in gibberish that the player can't interpret, but the other characters in the game do.

In the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Luigi is consistently portrayed as being the smarter of the two, but the cowardice trait is also shown as Luigi is scared of things going very wrong. He also doesn't take as many risks as Mario does.

Overall, Luigi's personality is hard to determine and tends to change depending on the appearance. Very few games have portrayed him with a personality that lasts throughout the subsequent release. Overall, however, Luigi can be described as timid and cautious, yet kindhearted and willing to protect his homeland with Mario's help - It is perhaps this irony, the basis of Luigi's character, that makes his personality so complex.

Luigi's Voice

Luigi's voice has varied in different games, unlike his brother, whose voice has basically remained unchanged since Super Mario 64. Luigi has had a high and low quality voice in many of his appearances. His voice sounds much like Mario's, retaining the characteristic Italian accent but with a lower pitch and different tone. The player can sample this in the Mario Party series when the player chooses him or gets a star. Two notable quotes he'd say are "Good choice" (Mario Party 3) and "Yeah, Luigi has got it again!" (Mario Party 6). Luigi was first given a voice in-game in Mario Kart 64, where he originally had a very high-pitched variant of his usual voice, although his clips were re-recorded much lower for the game's English release.[12] (His original voice, however, survived in all releases of Mario Party, Mario Party 2, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit.) Although his lower-pitched voice has mostly stuck, the first two games in the Super Smash Bros. series merely sped up Mario's voice clips (from Super Mario 64) to create Luigi's voice, though Super Smash Bros. Brawl gives him his usual lower-pitched voice. In Super Paper Mario, his voice changes again, with a rougher and deeper Italian voice. In Mario Kart Wii, his voice is more matured.

Almost invariably, Luigi's voice has been supplied by Charles Martinet in games. Martinet invented the voice after fans requested to speak to Luigi through Mario in Real Time - Although a Luigi in Real Time does not exist, Martinet compromised by allowing Luigi to "come into the TV set for spaghetti" alongside Mama and Papa, all conversing with Mario.[13] Prior to Martinet, Mark Graue gave Luigi a very high-pitched Brooklyn accent in Hotel Mario, and Danny Wells and Tony Rosato gave Luigi cautious, wavering Brooklyn accents for the cartoon series. John Leguizamo also gave his portrayal of Luigi a Brooklyn accent for the movie.

Luigi's Age

Originally, Luigi was introduced as Mario's younger brother. The first indication of their specific age difference was in "Family Album "The Early Years"", which implied that Luigi was born after Mario by several years. However, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi Touch & Go[14] described the brothers as twins. The remake of the game, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, did not expressly call them twins, but noted that Luigi was Mario's younger brother, carried to their parents at the same time. However, many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi may have been the second born twin, regardless of his delivery by The Stork. Since Luigi is still said to be Mario's younger twin brother it can be assumed that he was born right after Mario, making them just about the same age. In Super Paper Mario, Luvbi refers to Mario and Luigi as twins at the end of chapter 7-1. It should be noted that in the same game, though, Luigi referred to Mario as "big bro" on more than one occasion. Also, Luigi's Trophy description in Super Smash Bros. Brawl also referred to him as "younger twin brother". However, Colonel Roy Campbell calls Luigi a "kid brother" to Snake during Snake's Codec conversation in the same game.

Abilities

As to not give players advantages over each other, Luigi's abilities are usually exactly the same as Mario's, such as in Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. In most instances where one player can choose between the two brothers, however, Luigi is given his own gameplay quirks. This first occurred in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, where Luigi can jump higher than Mario but has lower traction and speed. In the American Super Mario Bros. 2, Luigi once again features the highest jump, but comparatively low speed and power. Luigi's high jumps but low traction would return in Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, which, unlike its original version, allowed players to switch between Mario and Luigi at any time on the map screen. In three-dimensional adventures, such as Super Mario 64 DS and Super Mario Galaxy, Luigi is usually faster than Mario (at the cost of poorer acceleration), but retains his classic high jumps and poor traction.

As aforementioned, Luigi has a higher top speed but poorer acceleration than his brother in Super Mario 64 DS, along with poor traction and increased agility. Luigi's jumps are perhaps at their strongest in this game; not only can Luigi jump higher than his brother, but he can also scuttle to slow his fall. His backflip has the same effect as being caught in a Tweester or stomping a Fire Guy, allowing for a very slow descent. Unlike Mario, however, Luigi cannot Wall Jump in this game. As a result of his agility and lightness, Luigi can walk on water for a short time. Luigi's Power Flower is Vanish Luigi, allowing him to disappear for invincibility and the ability to walk through certain obstacles.

In Super Paper Mario, Luigi's specialty is the Spring Jump, which sends him just off the screen to bound over obstacles and damage enemies mid-air. His standard jumps are also higher than any other character's and he has lower traction once more.

Electricity is sometimes depicted as Luigi's answer to Mario's fire. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with a technique known as the Thunderhand (alongside his other specialty, the High Jump). This is referenced in Super Paper Mario with Mr. L's nickname of "The Green Thunder," and in Mario Strikers Charged, where Luigi's Mega Strike involves controlling electricity.

In addition to actual gameplay differences, Luigi often executes his moves differently than his brother. In Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, Luigi jumps with his legs back and descends with them forward, kneels when sliding, and, interestingly enough, appears to spit fireballs rather than throwing them. The Super Smash Bros. series and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! give Luigi green fireballs, and in the former games his fireballs levitate. Perhaps most famously, Luigi's jumping animation in Super Mario Bros. 2 is merely his walking animation sped up; although Luigi's "kicking" jumps were momentarily ignored, they returned in the Super Mario Advance series, complete with a high-pitched warbling sound effect in Super Mario Advance 2 and 4. Luigi's aforementioned scuttle from Super Mario 64 DS also involves walking in mid-air, and the Eternal Understudy "kicks" during his Triple Jump in Super Mario Galaxy.

Luigi has also exhibited many unique traits in various sports and spin-off games, despite usually being a balance character like his brother. In games such as Mario Kart Wii, Luigi has a higher top speed than Mario, but has lower handling and acceleration. In the Mario Golf series, Luigi his with less power than his brother but features better control, although his shots consistently curve left. Luigi is slightly faster than Mario in Mario Superstar Baseball, and reveals his special pitch and swing (the Tornado Ball and Tornado Swing, respectively) in Mario Super Sluggers.

Despite his skills, Luigi is also somewhat clumsy. For example, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he accidentally bumps one of his partners, Blooey the Blooper, into a volcano while trying to stop evil, burning him to a golden crisp but not killing him. Usually, though, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario can not, and in fact appears to be the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Roles Taken

Luigi is a hero, but usually a sidekick, although in some media and games he is referred to as a partner. In the Mario & Luigi games, he is the cowardly partner to Mario, and is occasionally forced to be brave. He is the hero of a separate adventure the player doesn't get to play or see in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where he is a coward who changes the story to make himself 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. He was also brainwashed by Nastasia to become a villain, Mr. L, and was later brainwashed again by Dimentio to become Super Dimentio, the final boss. His sidekick role was completely different in Mario is Missing! and Luigi's Mansion, where he was the sole main character who had to rescue Mario.

Nicknames

Since Mario has starred in many more games and has been on many more adventures than Luigi, he has received most of the popularity. Almost everyone knew who Mario was. Luigi, on the other hand, has smaller popularity compared to Mario's and is unknown to most. Luigi's nicknames usually have to do with the color of his clothing.

Interactions with Other Characters

Mario

Main article: Mario
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga artwork: Mario and Luigi
Mario and Luigi care for each other deeply, but also have a more competitive side.

Mario is Luigi's older brother. Luigi often joins Mario in missions to save Peach, but Mario tends to go on adventures without him. Despite their lifelong sibling rivalry[15] and Luigi's jealously toward Mario, Mario and Luigi have always maintained a unique "brotherly love" for each other which is further proven when Luigi rescues his brother in Mario is Missing! and Luigi's Mansion. Baby Mario himself aided Yoshi in Luigi's rescue in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Luigi also has a great admiration for his older brother and looks up to him, wishing to be "a great plumber like [his] brother Mario" in Super Mario RPG. Mario and Luigi are automatic partners in most games.


Princess Peach

Main article: Princess Peach

Princess Peach is portrayed to be Luigi's very close friend. In any game where Luigi can switch Mario for the same role, Peach reacts to him in the same manner she does to Mario, like in New Super Mario Bros., where Peach will give Luigi a kiss after he saves her. Similarly, Super Mario Galaxy's identical storyline for both Bros. has Rosalina referring to Peach as both Mario and Luigi's "special one." Luigi is seen swooning over Peach after she blows a kiss in her Mario Power Tennis victory scene. They were both together in Mario Power Tennis in Diddy Kong's and Koopa's endings. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi comes to Peach's rescue in an attempt to stop Count Bleck and the wedding between Peach and Bowser, focusing on Peach rather than attempting to save Mario. The two share chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball, and are called "Green Eschort" in Mario Party 5.


Bowser

Main article: Bowser
File:LuigiInGalaxy.PNG
Luigi confronts Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy.

Bowser is Luigi's first enemy. Luigi and Bowser have almost always been enemies, but Bowser's main rivalry is with Mario. It may be worthy of note that, in Super Paper Mario, Luigi was seemingly unaware of Bowser's almost clichéd past attempts, stalling to realize that Bowser was the sort of person who would kidnap Princess Peach, and even then not remembering Bowser's name until he actually encountered the Koopa King. Similarly, Bowser does not recognize Luigi when they meet in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, although he does remember who he is in Super Paper Mario.


Toad

Main article: Toad

Toad directly adventured with the brothers in Super Mario Bros. 2. 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. The various Toads' opinions of Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS greatly differ from one another, with one denying that he could have retrieved so many Power Stars and another referring to Luigi as "The world's most inept and least charismatic brother," while another refers to himself as Luigi's biggest fan and another states that "We'll have to call you the Luigi Brothers soon!". Toads also acted as Luigi's major allies in Luigi's Mansion, giving special items (such as keys) and allowing the player to save their game. In the Mario cartoons, Toad appears as both a helper and a close friend of Mario and Luigi. Toad has been on good terms with Luigi for a very long time.

Wario

Main article: Wario

Wario was saved from Chief Chilly by Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS. In the past, Baby Wario saved Baby Luigi from Kamek along with Yoshi and other characters in Yoshi's Island DS. Wario seems to have a competitive rivalry with Luigi, as shown when they argue over whether being a superstar requires brains or brawn in the Mario Party introduction. Wario also enjoys tying Luigi's shoelaces together.[16] Nintendo Power has stated that Wario is the cousin of Mario and LuigiTemplate:Fact, but this hasn't been confirmed.

Yoshi

Main article: Yoshi

Yoshi is one of Luigi's oldest friends. When Luigi was kidnapped as a baby in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi and Baby Mario went to save him. The two saved Baby Luigi again in Yoshi Touch & Go and Yoshi's Island DS. Luigi occasionally rides Yoshi, such as in Mario is Missing!. In the Super Mario World cartoon, Luigi is the one to have found Yoshi (who receives him as, humorously, a mother figure), as shown in the episode "Mama Luigi."

Princess Daisy

Main article: Princess Daisy

As previously noted, one of Princess Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was in NES Open Tournament Golf, where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. After Daisy appeared as an optional automatic partner for Luigi in Mario Tennis, Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions, such as in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, where they are seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Some of their team names from the Mario Party series include "Steady Sweeties," "Tango Tanglers," and "Shy Sidekicks." Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in Mario Power Tennis, wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweetie! I'll take that," while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share very good chemistry. Most recently, in Mario Kart Wii, there is a giant statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together.Arguably the greatest evidence for any existing relationship between Luigi and Daisy is in the Super Mario Bros. film, released in 1993. Luigi and Daisy were quite clearly depicted as being infatuated with one another in this movie. Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where Daisy's trophy biography states, "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach".

Waluigi

Luigi and Waluigi scuffle for a Power Star alongside their partners.

Waluigi nurtures an especially hostile grudge against Luigi for unknown reasons. In Mario Tennis, Luigi made a gesture at Waluigi which Waluigi reacted negatively to. They share a fierce rivalry in all the games they appear in together.


King Boo

Main article: King Boo

King Boo was the main boss of Luigi's Mansion, starting a bitter rivalry. The two of them don't seem to work together very well, two examples being the bad chemistry between the two in Mario Baseball and the fact that Luigi claimed King Boo's old crown in Luigi's Mansion. In Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi was locked up by King Boo.

Rosalina

Luigi's picture with Rosalina.

Rosalina met Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy. Luigi helped her by aiding Mario in retrieving the Power Stars. In Battlerock Galaxy, he tells Mario that he'll only give him the Green Star if he tells Rosalina that he found it for her. Upon collecting all 121 stars with both Mario and Luigi, Mailtoad sends a picture when the player talks to him in the Grand Finale Galaxy. Luigi's picture shows him, Rosalina, and the Toad Brigade with Peach's Castle in the background, while Mario's is of him, Peach, and three Lumas on the first planet of Good Egg Galaxy.


Appearances in Other Media

Anime

Luigi
Luigi in The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach.

The first animated Luigi appeared in the 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, although it may be worth noting that, at the time of The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach's creation, Luigi had not yet been given a consistent palette and his current color scheme had not been introduced in-game. The anime also marked the first time Luigi was ever given a personality; The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach depicted Luigi as very greedy, typically thinking only of profits and characterized by his pickaxe and shovel, both of which he used to mine for Coins. (As a matter of fact, Luigi often left adventuring with Mario and Kibidango to search for Coins,

though he usually ended up helping them progress in various ways through his miserly efforts.) Luigi in the anime was also noticeably more serious and less dreamy than Mario, and he seemed to lack his brother's almost otherworldly connection to Princess Peach.

Luigi also appeared in another Mario anime movie, the Super Mario Amada Series, which depicted as wearing his traditional blue and green clothing. Luigi only appears in the last story of the Super Mario Amada Series film, Shirayukihime (Snow White) appearing just in time to save Mario and Princess Peach from Bowser, who was portrayed as the stories' wicked queen.

Luigi saying, "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!" in the Super Mario World cartoon
Luigi as he is seen in the Super Mario World animated series.

Later, he was played by John Leguizamo in the Super Mario Bros. movie. He also appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, (where Danny Wells portrayed him) and the other Western cartoons The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World (both of which gave his role to Tony Rosato); it is interesting to note that The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is the origin of Luigi's cautious, easily-frightened personality which Nintendo later brought into the games as well, including Luigi's Mansion. Also in "Super Mario World" Luigi was the one who found Yoshi and which caused Yoshi to call him Mama Luigi. Luigi appeared appeared in the whole 91 episodes of the three cartoon series, interestingly Mario only appeared in 90 episodes.

Though these are the only widely-known depictions of Luigi in other media, it is perhaps interesting to note that the character was first played in live-action (by an unknown actor) in a certain Mario Bros. commercial, more specifically one for the Atari 2600 version.

The Super Mario Adventures comic serial's depiction of Luigi, oddly, features him in an opposite portrayal to his personality in the games and cartoons. In the first installment, Luigi wants to eat his lunch first and whines about his hunger as Mario continues with their plumbing job. Later, Luigi is actually willing to go into a Ghost House that Bowser has set as a trap for them, despite Mario's warnings, and then ends up going in anyway when Bowser lets loose the scent of a giant hunk of aged provolone cheese. Also worth noting is that, prefiguring Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi disguises himself as Princess Peach to infiltrate the Koopalings' hideout.

Luigi also made several appearances in the Club Nintendo comic series, usually as a companion of his brother Mario. In the story "Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit", however, Luigi worked as a policeman and actually imposed a fine on Mario when the latter was violating the speed limit of Brooklyn while riding Yoshi. Luigi also insisted on being called "Officer Luigi."

Super Smash Bros. Profile

Though often hidden in his older brother Mario's shadow, Luigi is, in reality, very popular. Taller than Mario, Luigi also jumps higher. Although he didn't appear in Super Mario 64, in Mario Kart 64 he performed to the best of his ability. For one who seems to always be in the background, he has many fans who eagerly await his appearance.

Melee Trophies

# Name Image First Game/Move Description
46 Luigi
(Classic)
File:Trophy46.PNG
 Mario Bros.
Arcade 1983 		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.
47 Luigi [Smash]
(Adventure)
File:Trophy47.PNG
 B: Fireball
Smash B: Green Missile 		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.
48 Luigi [Smash]
(All-Star)
File:Trophy48.PNG
 Up & B: Super Jump Punch
Down & B: Luigi Cyclone 		Smack someone with Luigi's Super Jump Punch, and if the timing is just right, it will become a Fire Jump Punch of incredible strength. However, Luigi can only jump straight up when delivering this blow, and if his aim is a bit off, he'll only do a single point of damage. The Luigi Cyclone sucks foes in and twirls them about.
272 Vacuum Luigi
File:Trophy272.PNG
 Luigi's Mansion
11/01 		In a strange twist of fate, Luigi wins a huge mansion in a contest he didn't even enter, and the place turns out to be haunted! After meeting a weird professor named Elvin Gadd, Luigi enters the place armed with a flashlight and a ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner. Mario's trapped somewhere in there! Can Luigi save him?

Brawl Trophies

# Name Image Appearance(s) Description
57 Luigi
File:TrLuigi.jpg
 NES Mario Bros.
GCN Luigi's Mansion 		Mario's younger twin brother. He's shy and quiet and overshadowed by his sibling, but he's actually quite talented. His jumping ability surpasses Mario's, and his all- around skills let him overcome any problem. He's a bit cowardly and really afraid of ghosts. Even so, in Luigi's Mansion, he was charged with cleaning up a whole house full of spirits.
58 Negative Zone
File:TrNegative zone.jpg
 WII Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 Luigi's Final Smash. As exotic music plays, he performs a dance befitting a sorcerous incantation. A barrier envelops him, negatively impacting all in his area. Random effects include getting launched, sleeping, moving in slow motion, tripping, fainting, and losing attack power. This technique is a reflection of the dark side he embraced in his brother's shadow.
148 Paper Luigi
File:TrPaper luigi.jpg
 WII Super Paper Mario The legendary hero Mario's younger brother. He's teased by Koopas and Goombas alike and is sometimes called "green mustache guy." He goes missing after Bowser and Peach's wedding. He's known for his jumping prowess--his special move is the High Jump. It's said he has a close relationship to the masked man brainwashed by Count Bleck and known only as "Mister L."

Bio from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible

Mario couldn't have a better teammate than his younger in age, but bigger in size, little brother Luigi, even though they approach their adventures with very different attitudes. Luigi always wishes Mario would take more time to weigh the risks before he leaps, swims, or flies into the unknown. But no matter how much he questions Mario's plans, Luigi always loyally follows him into the wildest dangers any Koopa could conceive. Luigi is your basic soft touch. A defender of downtrodden Mushrooms and Koopa-nabbed maidens. Naive, trusting and innocent, Luigi is not a bumbling fool. It's just that he's so nice and straightforward, which allows him to be sucked into a Koopa scheme, a Toad prank, or a Mario madcap plan.

Trivia

File:Ac-cam-luigi-trophy.jpg
The Luigi Trophy in Animal-Crossing.
  • On The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Luigi was revealed to be able to speak Pidgit.
  • Luigi was the second best "property" in Nintendo Monopoly, losing only to his famous brother, Mario. Here, he replaces Park Place and costs $350.
  • Luigi appears in Animal-Crossing as a furniture item called the Luigi Trophy.
  • There is an item in "Animal Crossing" called the "Little Bro hat." This hat is almost identical to Luigi's characteristic green "L" hat.
  • The first live-action portrayal of Luigi was in a commercial for Mario Bros. from 1983[4]. Mario himself would not appear in live-action until The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! aired in 1989.
  • The Mario Party 3 instruction booklet claims that Luigi's favorite item is the Skeleton Key.
  • Luigi is the second most playable character in the Mario series.
  • Luigi has crossdressed on three occasions, disguising himself as Peach to fool Bowser and the Koopalings in Super Mario Adventures, to fool Bowletta in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and dressing as a bride in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
