| '''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 ''Super Mario'' games beginning with ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Luigi has gained his own identity and personality.

| ===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 [[Mario and Luigi's Parents|parents']] 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 had somehow obtained a map that lead to Baby Bowser's Castle, and with it 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===
| |
| [[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.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:MarioBrosSprites.PNG|thumb|Luigi as a palette swap of Mario.]]
| |
| | |
| ===Of Plumbing===
| |
| [[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 difference 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. And in the remake they even had to fight off the evil [[King Bowser]] and luckily they succeded.
| |
| | |
| ===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.]]'', they went to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] where they were told by the [[Mushroom King]] that the evil [[king Bowser]] had kidnapped [[Princess Peach]] and her [[Mushroom Retainer]]s.
| |
| | |
| Mario and Luigi then went to save the kidnapped [[Princess Peach]] and rescue her from the king of [[Koopa]]s. The brothers fought many enemies, defeated Bowser, and saved the princess along with the Mushroom Retainers. In this game, Luigi was the exact same as Mario. With the same jumping powers, same traction, and the same running speed.
| |
| | |
| 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]]. This time, Luigi could jump higher and further than Mario, although he had less traction.
| |
| | |
| From then on, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] spent the remainder of their lives aiding the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] from [[Bowser]].
| |
| | |
| ===An Odd Dream===
| |
| [[Image:SMB2Luigi.PNG|left|150px|thumb|Luigi being selected in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.]]
| |
| Luigi was one of four characters 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.
| |
| | |
| 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|right|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 to save the day again, and as heroes they went on another adventure to save the Mushroom Kingdom. After defeating the Koopalings, and turning the kings back to their regular state, the brothers went to the [[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.
| |
| | |
| === An Unresting Vacation in Dinosaur Land ===
| |
| After the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Princess Peach and the Mario Brothers went on a vacation to [[Dinosaur Land]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Mario, Luigi and Peach 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 Peach missing again. Bowser and his children had kidnapped Princess Peach along with seven [[Baby Yoshi]]s and trapped any [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] he met in eggs. Yoshi helped the brothers rescue the princess.
| |
| | |
| ===A Missing Bro.===
| |
| 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 and battled Bowser's seven children, traveling across the real world to find Mario. This game marked Luigi's solo-adventure debut.
| |
| | |
| ===Hotel Searching and a Wish===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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|left|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 you hold 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.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:LM Luigi Flee.jpg|thumb|150px|Luigi, as seen in ''Luigi's Mansion''.]]
| |
| === Luigi's Lone Quest ===
| |
| During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Luigi kept a 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.
| |
| | |
| 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]]. After defeating all of the spooks, 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. After Mario was rescued, he went with Peach on [[Super Mario Sunshine|another vacation]], but this time, without Luigi.
| |
| | |
| === Exploits In the Beanbean Kingdom ===
| |
| 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 even is the damsel for a while. Luigi also has to rescue Mario during the game when the latter gets [[Bean Fever]].
| |
| | |
| === Paper Luigi ===
| |
| 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. 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 ===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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. After finally collecting enough, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi go to the past of Princess Peach's Castle, which has been turned into [[Shroob Castle]].
| |
| | |
| Luigi and company defeat all the enemies, and defeat [[Princess Shroob]], [[Elder Princess Shroob]], and [[Shrowser]]. They finally save Peach, go back to their own time, and watch sadly as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi go back to their time.
| |
| | |
| === A New Adventure with Mario ===
| |
| 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. Luigi is a secret character in this game, and his role is the same as Mario's.
| |
| | |

| |
| 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 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 SuperstarSaga. 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===
| |
| {{spoiler}}
| |
| [[Image:LuigiGalaxy.gif|thumb|230px|left|'''Luigi''' looking up at a [[Luma]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
| |
| Luigi appears ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', in which he is lost 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."

| |
| [[Image:Luigikartds.jpg|thumb|150px|Luigi in the Standard LG.]]
| |
| Luigi is also playable in all of the [[Mario Party]] and [[Mario Kart]] series, as well as the Mario sports games. He often gets his own course, usually the first and most simplistic.
| |
| | |
| Luigi is also a team captain in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. 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 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]].
| |
| | |
| 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. His [[Final Smash]] is the [[Negative Zone]], which causes a big "Negative Zone" to appear around Luigi, causing a variety of effects to happen to any opposing player trapped in the zone, including slow-motion, a flower or dizziness, among other things.

| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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 watches Dedede fight [[Bowser]] and help him convince Wario to join them. After they turned everyone back to normal, they all fought Tabuu.

| | |
| == 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, being green instead of red and having an "L" replace Mario's signature "M." In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', both he and Mario have red and white striped socks; this trait is not present in any other games.
| |
| | |
| === Personality ===
| |
| Luigi is portrayed as timid and the tip of a coward. He also worries and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', he's presented to be more arrogant and somewhat of a liar, as he changes the story of his adventure to make himself look better; his partners claim his stories are false. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' his cowardliness is rarely shown, and he acts brave and boldly rushes into dangerous situations.
| |
| | |
| Luigi is also somewhat clumsy. For example, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', he accidentally bumps one of his partners, Blooey, into a volcano while trying to stop evil. Usually though, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario can not; such as doing a [[Jump#Spring Jump|Spring Jump]] without any [[Ultra Boots]] in ''Super Paper Mario''.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Star Gate]] (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. This 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.

| 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.
| |
| | |
| As shown in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Luigi's state of being in the shadow of his brother shows strongly. An example would be the way Luigi is almost never happy, and how his commentary is very mono-toned.
| |
| | |
| 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 usually makes drastic changes depending on the appearance. Very few games have portrayed him with a personality that lasts throughout the subsequent release. In fact, in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' each character competed for a [[Star Stamp]]. However, depending on who the player chose to be through story mode, Luigi would take the place of that character, regardless of who they were; showing that Luigi is indeed a character with a personality hard to determine.
| |
| | |
| === Luigi's Voice ===
| |
| Luigi's voice has varied in different games, unlike his brother, whose voice has basically continued 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 but with a "mouse" type pitch to it. 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]]''). His voice in the first two games in the [[Super Smash Bros. Series]] was just a sample of Mario's voice from Super Mario 64, but in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], he has his own, higher pitched voice. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', his voice changes again, with a rougher and deeper Italian voice. Unlike his brother, Luigi is not a silent protagonist; he usually tends to talk a little too much. But in games like [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]] and [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]] he, as well as Mario, would talk in gibberish that the player can't interpret, but the other characters in the game do.
| |
| | |
| === 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"]]" implied that Luigi was born after Mario by several years. However, ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' reckoned 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 [[Mario and Luigi's Parents|parents]] at the same time as his brother. However, many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi was the second born twin, regardless of his delivery by [[The Stork]]. Luigi's Trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' also mentioned him as Mario's twin brother, but never in an actual Mario game.
| |
| | |
| === Abilities ===
| |
| Luigi's abilities are usually the same as Mario's, with only a few minor differences. Luigi jumps higher than Mario, but usually has lower traction. Also, in games such as The Lost Levels and in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', he is shown to be slower than Mario. ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', he is seen spitting fireballs, instead of shooting them from his hands. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' Luigi can run across a small amount of water with a running start. With the [[Power Flower]], he can come invisible and walk through enemies and certain walls. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games his fireballs are green and unlike Mario's Fireballs, levitate. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with a technique known as the "Thunderhand", and the same ability is referenced in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', he was shown with the ability to control electricity, as seen in his [[Mega Strike]].
| |
| | |
| === Roles Taken ===
| |
| Luigi is a hero, but usually a sidekick. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' games, he is a cowardly sidekick who is occasionally forced to be brave. He is the hero of a separate adventure the player don't get to play or see in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' where he is a coward and changes the story to make 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]]. His sidekick role was completely different in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where Mario needed to be rescued out of a painting. Also in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', he was brainwashed by [[Nastasia]] to become a villain, '''Mr. L''', and again later was brainwashed by [[Dimentio]] to become [[Super Dimentio]], the final boss.
| |
| | |
| ===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 little popularity and is unknown to most.

| ==Interactions with Other Characters==
| |
| ===Mario===
| |
| {{Main|Mario}}
| |
| | |
| '''Mario''' is Luigi's one and only brother. Luigi often joins Mario in missions to save Peach, but Mario tends to go on adventures without him. Despite their sibling rivalry and Luigi's jealously toward Mario, Mario and Luigi have always maintained a unique "brotherly love" for each other which is further proven in [[Luigi's Mansion]].
| |
| | |
| ===Princess Peach===
| |
| {{Main|Princess Peach}}
| |
| | |
| '''Princess Peach''' is portrayed to be Luigi's 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. Luigi is seen swooning over her in her ''Mario Power Tennis'' victory scene with hearts in his eyes, indicating that Luigi, like his brother, has a crush on Peach. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi comes to Peach's rescue in an attempt to stop Count Bleck and the wedding between Peach and Bowser. Luigi's storyline in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' is almost the same as Mario's, and [[Princess Rosalina]] calls Peach Luigi and Mario's "special one". The two share chemistry in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', and are called "Green Eschort" in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Bowser===
| |
| {{Main|Bowser}}
| |
| | |
| '''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]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===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. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Toad said that Luigi couldn't have gone this far and is really Mario in green clothes. Toad also acted as one of Luigi's major allies in Luigi's Mansion, and allowed the player to save their game. He is also in the Mario cartoons, and appears as both a helper and a close friend of Mario and Luigi's.
| |
| | |
| ===Wario===
| |
| {{Main|Wario}}
| |
| | |
| '''Wario''' was saved from [[Chief Chilly]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' by Luigi. In the past, [[Baby Wario]] saved [[Baby Luigi]] from [[Kamek]] along with [[Yoshi]] and other characters. Wario seems to have a competitive rivalry with Luigi in the ''[[Mario Party]]'' intro when they were arguing whether being a superstar required brains or brawn. According to the official website for ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', Wario ties Luigi's shoelaces together, most likely for a joke.
| |
| | |
| ===Yoshi===
| |
| {{main|Yoshi}}
| |
| | |
| '''Yoshi''' is one of Luigi's oldest friends. When Luigi was kidnapped as a [[Baby Luigi|baby]], a Yoshi and [[Baby Mario]] went to save him. Luigi occasionally rides Yoshi, although Yoshi has been known to be as good as Luigi on his own two feet. In the "Super Mario World" Cartoon, Luigi is the one to have found Yoshi. (During the same episode, he delivers the infamous "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario." quote.)
| |
| | |
| ===Princess Daisy===
| |
| {{Main|Princess Daisy}}
| |
| | |
| '''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'', Daisy continued to participate in sport tournements within the Mushroom Kingdom. 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, sweety!"'', before zooming past him on roller skates while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players", and they share 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. 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}}
| |
| | |
| '''Waluigi''' nurtures an especially hostile grudge against Luigi for unknown reasons. In Mario Tennis, Luigi made a gesture at Waluigi at which Waluigi reacted badly to. They share a fierce rivalry in all games they are together.
| |
| | |
| ===King Boo===
| |
| {{Main|King Boo}}
| |
| | |
| '''King Boo''' was the main boss of Luigi's mansion and was the start of a bitter rivalry. The two of them don't seem to work together very well, one an example 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 a [[Big Boo]] who looked nearly identical to King Boo.
| |
| | |
| ===Rosalina===
| |
| {{Main|Rosalina}}
| |
| | |
| '''Rosalina''' met Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Luigi aided Mario in retreiving the power stars. In Battlerock Galaxy he tells Mario that he'll only give him the green star if he told Rosalina that he found it for her. Upon collecting all 121 stars with both Mario and Luigi, the mailtoad sends a picture when you talk to him in the Grand Finale Galaxy. Luigi's picture is shows him, Rosalina, and the Toad Brigade with Peach's castle in the backround while Mario's is of him, Peach and three Lumas on the Comet Observatory.
| |
| | |
| == 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 ===
| |
| [[Image:SMWLuigi.png|thumb|left|190px|Luigi as he is seen in the ''Super Mario World'' Cartoons.]]
| |
| 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 Luigi's cautious, easily-frightened personality which Nintendo later brought into the games as well, including ''Luigi's Mansion''.
| |
| | |
| 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.

For one who seems to always be in the background, he has many fans who eagerly await his appearance.''

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.

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.

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==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==
| |
| *On ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Luigi was revealed to be able to speak [[Pidgit]].
| |
| *Luigi's number in ''Super Mario Strikers'' is 2. This is because he is the "second brother".
| |
| *Luigi was the second best "property" in [[Toys#Nintendo Monopoly|Nintendo Monopoly]], losing only to his famous brother, [[Mario]]. Here, he replaces Park Place and costs $350.
| |
| *Luigi's emblem in various games is his trademark L.
