Luigi
- “I'm-a Luigi, number one!”
- —Luigi, Mario Kart 64
Luigi (Japanese ルイージ Ruīji) is Mario's cowardly, younger but taller Italian [1] brother. He first appeared as a palette swap of Mario in Mario Bros. arcade game. He wears green instead of red and is taller and slimmer than Mario. While Mario seems to be known almost universally as a great hero, Luigi is not nearly as well known. This does not prevent him from being respected, however, as he was shown to have a fan club in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Koopa Koot claims to be his number one fan (asking for an autograph) in Paper Mario.
Biography
Twin Tots
- Main Article: Baby Luigi
At the beginning of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Baby Mario and Luigi were being delivered to their parents' home. However, Baby Luigi was soon snatched by the nasty Kamek, and taken to Baby Bowser's castle. Fortunately, Baby Mario landed right on Yoshi's back on Yoshi's Island, and with a map Baby Mario had to Bowser's Castle (presumably dropped by Kamek), the two teamed up with the other Yoshis to rescue Baby Luigi. Baby Bowser was defeated, and Baby Luigi was rescued.
Captured by Kamek
Baby Luigi appears again in Yoshi's Island DS. Here, he and several other babies were kidnapped, as present-day 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, and Yoshi, when he was a baby.
Villainous Beginnings?
In the arcade version of Donkey Kong Jr., the short opening movie depicts Mario and a lookalike Mario lifting Donkey Kong (who would later become Cranky Kong) into a cage. It is unknown why there are two Marios but the most logical explanation for this is that the lookalike is, in fact, Luigi, marking this as his first, albeit unnamed, appearance. The lookalike makes no further appearance throughout the remainder of the game.
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 was no other difference 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. The Brothers attacked the monsters and were eventually able to cleanse the sewers of them.
A New World
In Super Mario Bros.(which took place directly after Mario Bros.), after Mario and Luigi fought the monsters, they found a special pipe that took them to the Mushroom Kingdom. They were told by the Mushroom King that an evil king named Bowser (who he had actually met as a baby) had kidnapped the princess of the kingdom and her Mushroom Retainers.
Mario and Luigi decided to help the kidnapped princess and rescue her from the king of Koopas. The brothers fought many enemies, defeated Bowser, and saved the princess and the Mushroom Retainers.
Later, in The Lost Levels, the bros. were once again called to save the Princess from the Koopa Troop. This time, Luigi could jump higher and further than Mario, although he had less traction.
Both Mario and Luigi decided to spend the remainder of their lives in the Mushroom Kingdom.
An Odd Dream
Luigi was one of four characters 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.
In Subcon, Luigi could jump higher than all of his friends, and kicked his legs when he was in the air, decreasing the speed of his descent. He was the third strongest in the group. Eventually, the whole adventure was shown to be a dream made by Mario; it is unknown if Luigi had a similar adventure.
Koopa's Revenge!
Bowser wasted no time in returning. He traveled now 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.
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 tuckered plumbers returned to their home in the Mushroom Kingdom.
One Vacation, One Missing Bro.
After the events of Super Mario Bros. 3, Princess Peach and the Mario Brothers went on a vacation to Dinosaur Land. Mario, Luigi and Peach hopped on a hot air balloon to get to the tropical island and landed. Luigi had found a magical Feather 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 Peach missing again. Bowser and his children had kidnapped Princess Peach along with seven Baby Yoshis and trapped any Yoshis he met in eggs. Luigi met Yoshi, a dinosaur, who helped him rescue the princess.
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 was similar to Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Because this game was an edutainment, many people say it was more of an insult to the green plumber, rather than a salute. This game marked his solo-adventure debut.
Hotel Searching and a Wish
Luigi is one of the main characters in the obscure 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 in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, in Star Hill Luigi made a wish (that he wants to be a good plumber, just like his big brother). In the ending of the game, Luigi is also the leader of the parade. Luigi 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
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 because of an invitation made by the princess. 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 thus, 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 leader in battle, allowing him to get the key needed to free Luigi. Freeing Luigi is not mandatory (If he was not rescued, he would simply not appear in the ending.) for the completion of the game. While only Luigi can get several stars, several Luigi Caps can be found on a few courses (although not all worlds have a Luigi Cap present until Luigi is found.), allowing the bearer to mimic Luigi appearance and abilities (But not the voice) perfectly. However, only Luigi could save Wario from Chief Chilly's grasp.
Luigi's Special Ability 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 Jumping, which was first used in Super Mario Bros. 2, and run on water for a short period of time.
Luigi's Time To Shine
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. Like in Super Mario RPG, he leads a parade during the end credits.
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 at the mansion, Mario was nowhere to be found and ghosts haunted the mansion. Luigi met Professor E. Gadd and received the Poltergust 3000, a vacuum that allowed him to capture ghosts.
Luigi went through the mansion, defeating many ghosts, in order to save his helpless brother from the 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 another vacation, but this time, without Luigi. Luigi most likely didn't come because E. Gadd was so pleased with his work, he created a new mansion over the haunted one, which Luigi probably decided to relax in.
Brothers Again
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, 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. To see how, see Bean Fever. The Poltergust 3000 got a cameo or two.
Paper Luigi
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 a few lies to make the story better and make himself sound much more heroic, but Luigi's partners almost always secretly tell Mario what really happened. 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.
Oddly enough, he also appears in the audience when in battle. He additionally 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. 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.
Distressed Plumbers
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
Again, both Mario brothers unite in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The princess had recently used E. Gadd's Time Machine and she'd gone back in time. Mario now has to go save her, and wants Luigi to help him again.
Both brothers go back in time, to find Peach. However when they go to the past, they're in the time when the Shroobs attack! Mario and Luigi meet their younger selves, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, who will help them find the princess.
The brothers look all over the past Mushroom Kingdom collecting Star Shards. After finally collecting enough, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi go to the past of Princess Peach's Castle, which has been turned into Shroob Castle.
Luigi and company defeat all the enemies, and defeat Princess Shroob, Elder Princess Shroob and Shrowser. They finally save Peach, go back to their own time, and watch as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi go back to their time.
Another 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, who Luigi had not fought before.
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. He can be used by pressing L and R at the same time while selecting a file. However, starting a new game and doing so will have Luigi in the cutscene.
The Enigmatic Mr. L
Template:Spmenemybox 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 regognize 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.
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 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. Also, less notable, is that 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 SupestarSaga. 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
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 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 a little darker. The NPC Luigi refers to the player Luigi as "me" as he calls Mario "bro."
Other Appearances/Spin-offs
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 a team captain in Mario Strikers Charged. He is a Balanced player, and his Mega Strike uses electricity. 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, and has made an appearance in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In Mario & Sonic, he is an All-Around character, just like his brother, Mario.
He makes a cameo in Yoshi's Story in the level Torrential Maze in the second world. His name is printed in the background of the stage.
Luigi Busts a Move
Luigi (Mario is also the optional hero) danced to save the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Waluigi went to Truffle Tower to 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.
Ever the hero, Luigi set out to find all four Music Keys, along with Toad. Using the S.S. Brass to navigate, Luigi challenged Waluigi (and other creatures) to dance-offs 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. Mario did 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 genre 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 Luigi. 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 Adventure Mode. When finishing the first stage of it with a 2 in the seconds of the remaining time, there would be a short cutscene with Luigi kicking Mario off the stage. The player then had to battle Luigi in Mario's place and Peach. If Luigi is beaten in less than a minute, then when finishing the Adventure Mode, Luigi would appear again to challenge the player.
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 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.
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!
- Snake: Colonel, snap out of it! Colonel!! Coooooooloneeeeeel!
Role in Subspace Emissary
Template:Spoiler Luigi first appears in a cutscene where he prepares to defend himself from 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 Zelda/Peach, Ness and Luigi trophies a long with Wario's car.
Dedede places a special badge on Luigi, Ness, and the princess's trophy, though the princess's badge is knocked off when Bowser flies off with the princess in his Koopa Clown Car. Later, when Tabuu turns everyone into a trophy, the badges turn Luigi, Ness and Dedede back into living creatures. The badges had the power to bring trophies back to life. King Dedede decided to help Luigi and Ness save their friends and stop Tabuu. After they turned everyone back, they all fought Tabuu. Template:Endspoiler
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 smoother mustache and light blue eyes. He wears unfaded denim jean overalls, brown work shoes, and a green undershirt. 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, he has red and white striped socks.
Personality
Luigi is portrayed as timid and the tip of a coward. He also worries a little and is self-conscious. But, quite a few times, he overcomes his fears and acts like a real, brave hero, like in Luigi's Mansion. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he seems to be a bit arrogant and a liar, as he changes the story of his adventure to make himself look better, or he might have just wanted to impress Mario (which is more understandable since Mario always steals the spotlight). His partners claim his stories are false. In Super Paper Mario his cowardliness is rarely shown, and he acts very brave and boldly rushes into dangerous situations, possibly showing that his travels in the Waffle Kingdom have made him grow braver. Whether this braver attitude will continue is unknown.
Luigi is also sort of clumsy. For example, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he accidentally bumped one of his partners, Blooey, into a volcano while trying to stop evil. Mostly he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario only wishes he can do, such as doing a Spring Jump without any Ultra Boots in Super Paper Mario.
In Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, the Star Gate (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. This may have something to do with Luigi's "dark secret from his past," which it also mentions. Apparently, Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. This may mean that Luigi indeed has a dark side (if the secret is taken as a negative thing) or a conservative, quiet side (if the secret is taken as an embarrassing thing). Also, it shows that even Mario can make Luigi cry because of his frustration.
Whereas Mario almost says nothing (a point is made out of this in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars with Toad and The Thousand-Year Door with Doopliss), Luigi is proven to be quite the chatter box in the Paper Mario series. In Super Paper Mario, Luigi is almost "Mario's Mouth." He does all the speaking for Mario in the beginning of the game (a role later taken by Tippi), once he joins Mario's party, however, he mostly only talks during scenes where the four heroes are shown together, similar to Peach and Bowser.
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.
Luigi's Voice
Luigi's voice has varied in various games, unlike his brother, whose voice has basically stayed the same since Super Mario 64. Luigi has had a high and low voice quality in many of his appearances. His voice sounds like Mario's but with a "mouse" type pitch to it. The player can sample this in the Mario Party series when the player chooses him or get a star with him as your player. Two notable quotes he'd say are "Good Choice" (Mario Party 3) and "Yeah, Luigi has got it again!" (Mario Party 6). His voice in the first two games in the Super Smash Bros. Series was just samples of Mario's voice from Super Mario 64, but in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he has his own 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'll usually tend to talk a little too much on one hand. 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 understand, but the other characters can, like Mario saying "A-dook-ata-dado"
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 retconned 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 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 at the same time as Mario.
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. In Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, he is seen spitting fireballs. In Super Mario 64 DS Luigi can run across a small amount of water with a running start. With the Power Flower, he can come invisible and walk through enemies and certain walls. In the Super Smash Bros. games his fireballs are green and unlike Mario's Fireballs, levitate. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi is given the ability to harness and release electricity with a technique known as the "Thunderhand". 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 has him equal to Mario. 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.
Nick Names
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 Mario and knew what he looked like. Luigi, on the other hand, has little popularity and is unknown to most. Most of these names come after "... Mario and ..."

Relations with other characters
Mario
- Main article: Mario
Mario is Luigi's one and only confirmed brother. Mario's abilities are similar to Luigi's. Unlike Luigi, his personality is brave and strong. Since Mario usually goes on his adventures without him, Luigi is often depicted as jealous of him and wants more fame, though he's usually too timid and scared to try. Luigi may also be jealous of some of Mario's more obscure skills, as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars indicates that one of Luigi's deep desires is for his plumbing abilities to match those of his brother. The Super Mario Kart manual also states that Mario and Luigi have long been engaged in a friendly rivalry, this has been hinted in Both Mario Tennis and Power Tennis. However, Luigi's jealousy does not make him resent Mario, Luigi respects Mario greatly.
Princess Peach
- Main article: Princess Peach
Princess Peach is Luigi's friend. She usually plays the "Damsel-in-Distress" and is usually rescued by Mario and Luigi. It is hinted that Luigi, like Mario, has a crush on her. Luigi is seen swooning over her in her Mario Power Tennis victory scene with hearts in his eyes, indicating that Luigi has romantic feelings for her.
Bowser
- Main article: Bowser
Bowser is Luigi's first enemy and one of his only ones. Bowser changes sizes through the games, as he is sometimes about the same size as Luigi and occasionally far larger. Luigi and Bowser have almost always been enemies, but Bowser's main rivalry is with Mario; Luigi now has his own rival, King Boo. It may be worthy of note that, in Super Paper Mario, Luigi was (likely in an attempt at humor on Nintendo's part) 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. Similarily, Bowser does not recognize Luigi when they meet in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
Toad
- Main article: Toad
Toad is one of Luigi's friends. Toad usually helps Mario and Luigi telling them tips, and directly adventured with the brothers in Super Mario Bros. 2. In the majority of games, Toad seems more of a "helper" than a friend to Luigi. 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 has said that Luigi couldn't have gone this far and is really Mario in green clothes.
Wario
- Main article: Wario
Wario is Mario's alleged doppelgänger and rival. Luigi can be seen hanging out with Wario in the beginning moments of Mario Party 4 and saved him from Chief Chilly in Super Mario 64 DS, suggesting that the two may have some sort of mysterious friendship (or that Luigi isn't the type of person to hold a grudge.) In the past, Baby Wario saved Baby Luigi from Kamek once along with Yoshi and other characters. Also, someone who looks a lot like Wario, Waluigi (also said to be Wario's brother), is one of Luigi's rivals. Wario seems to have a competitive rivalry with Luigi in the Mario Party intro when they were arguing whether being a superstar required brains or brawn.
Yoshi
- Main article: Yoshi
Yoshi is one of Luigi's oldest friends. When Luigi was kidnapped when he was a baby, a Yoshi and Baby Mario went to save him. Luigi occasionally rides Yoshi, although Yoshi has been known to be as good as Luigi on his own two feet. In the "Super Mario World" Cartoon, Luigi is the one to have found Yoshi, hence getting the infamous "Mama Luigi" Title.
Princess Daisy
- Main article: Princess Daisy
Daisy is Peach's best friend and Luigi's rumored love interest. One of Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was as Luigi's caddy for NES Open Tournament Golf, just as Peach was Mario's caddy; this would be the first implication of a relationship between the two, spawning the rumors that are mentioned in Daisy's trophy biography in Super Smash Bros. Melee: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach." In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, Daisy is Luigi's doubles partner when he is selected for the doubles tournament. In the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour beginning, Daisy calls upon Luigi in the same way Peach calls upon Mario. When the two are paired up in some Mario Party games, their team name is "Steady Sweeties". In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players" and they share good chemistry, whereas Daisy does not share chemistry with Mario. In Mario Power Tennis, when Daisy wins a tournament, Luigi presents the trophy to her(as well as presenting the trophy to many other characters including Yoshi and Diddy Kong). She first says to Luigi "Hey sweetie!". Nintendo has not explicitly said anything regarding their official status. As a result, the Luigi/Daisy relationship is still a mystery and is widely speculated and debated by fans to this day.
Waluigi
- Main article: Waluigi
Waluigi seems to nurture an especially hostile grudge against Luigi for unknown reasons. In Mario Tennis, Luigi made a gesture at Waluigi at which Waluigi reacted badly to, suggesting that Luigi has done something to Waluigi before. They share a fierce rivalry in all games they are together, however, it seems that Waluigi doesn't like Mario just as much for unknown reasons.
King Boo
- Main article: King Boo
King Boo was the main boss of Luigi's mansion and it was a start of bitter rivalry. The two of them don't seem to work together very well, an example includes the bad chemistry between the two in Mario Baseball and the fact that Luigi has claimed King Boo's old Crown in Luigi's Mansion. In Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi was locked up by a remade Big Boo who looked identical to King Boo. Despite these points of rivalry, the reasons for Luigi and King Boo rivalry has never been revealed by Nintendo, But most fans are pretty sure that Luigi hates King Boo a lot because of Boos seem to be his worst fear or the fact that King Boo captured Mario (or both).
Professor E. Gadd
- Main article: Professor E. Gadd
Since meeting The Professor in Luigi's Mansion, Luigi has been a keen customer of E. Gadd's Poltergusts. The two have sort of teacher-student relationship after the Professor teaches Luigi how to use his newly acquired technology.
Donkey Kong
- Main article: Donkey Kong
It is unknown what kind of relationship Luigi and Donkey Kong have, but for the most part it appears to be competitive. Luigi and Donkey Kong usually only appear together in sports games and party games. However, during the events of Yoshi's Island DS, Baby Donkey Kong helped to rescue Baby Luigi from the evil Kamek, making it appear that the two don't hold much of a grudge against each other.
Kamek
- Main article: Kamek
Kamek and Luigi have never been freindly with each other. Kamek kidnapped Luigi as a baby twice. And Kamek guarded a captured Luigi during the events of Super Princess Peach. Regardless, their relationship is far less extreme than Luigi and Waluigi's relationship. Or any, for that matter.
Appearances in Other Media
Anime
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 miscolored 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.
Other
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! originated Luigi's cautious, easily-frightened personality which was later (possibly by coincidence) adapted to the main game canon in Luigi's Mansion, although the fear of Boos is unknown, as in one episode, "Misadventures in Babysitting", Luigi actually scared the Boos, rather then being scared of them.
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.

Mario Party 7 Information
Catch Card
Card Type: Rare
Card Description: The mean green bro is here again to back up his brother. He's got a vertical jump like you wouldn't believe.
Profile Information from Super Smash Bros.
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.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
| # | Name | Image | Appearance(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 46 | Luigi (Classic) |
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) |
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) |
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 | 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? |
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
| # | Name | Image | Appearance(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 57 | Luigi | Super Mario Bros. 1985 |
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 | 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 | Paper Mario 2001 |
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
- 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 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.
