PAIRreview for Luigi by Gofer
Accuracy	2.0	Its not very accurate, for example, the SM2 section state that he woke up, while in fact, it was Mario.
Depth	2.0	There isn't a lot of depth. It mostly say "Blablabla Luig defeated Bowser Blablablabla. It also lack information on some of the more obscure game like Hotel Mario or When I grow up
Grammar	2.0	Can't review that TOO much... But some of the sentense seem weird and there's a lot of time where the article refer directly to the reader.
Images	2.0	This article is cluttered up with them. Why put two near-identical image in the same section?
Formatting	2.0	There alway at least a template that bug and screw up the page, that may be just me, thought.
Final Rating:	10	Overall bad/average article. Far from Fa-worthy. The article is also full of POV, useles info ("Yoshi have showed to be as good as luig on his two feets" What?) and have some pretty horendous writting (Look at King Boo in the relationshpi section for what I mean). Meh.
Reviewer:	Gofer doc

PAIRreview for Luigi by Knife
Accuracy	2.5	Horribly inaccurate, agreeing with Gofer-hole above.
Depth	1.5	Content-wise, it needs a lot of work. The relationships sections are good enough, but someone should remove a few unworthy relationships like Luigi to Wario, Luigi to DK, or Luigi to Yoshi. They don't really have much of a relationship. A few sections could be merged for the apparent lack of good content. I can understand the lack of content in the platformers series, but as for the M&L series? The sections for Luigi in the ML series could be greatly expanded. Perhaps folllow the writing style given in the last section.
Grammar	2.5	Many spelling mistake, punctuation errors, etc.. The paragraphs usually only consist of 3 or 2 sentences.
Images	3.0	The images could work, but with the short amount of content, they look more messy than helpful.
Formatting	3.5	If you inspect the whole article, you will find a lot of them.
Final Rating:	13	This article is very far from FA worthy. The main part of it that needs work is the Biography and relationship sections. I hope someone can fix it.

'Negative' Impact

I recently added to the abilities section a mention on the Negative Zone final smash and its possible corelation to his becoming Mr. L in SPM. But I just now found it to be removed. If someone could tell me if it is because it is merely a theory, or if it was because of something else, that'd be helpful. User:BoomOfThe4thWall

Age

Is it possible that Mario and Luigi are twins, but Mario is older by X minutes? HK

Yes. It's possible. --Son of Suns 13:33, 29 June 2006 (EDT)

Im just thinking that that is how is they how they are twins, AND one is older. (This previously unsigned comment was made by HK-47.)

Well, the Mario games don't exactly have perfect continuity. For one thing, Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, and Birdos were both dreams in SMB2, but they're real in other games. (Most likely, Mario knew about them before his dream, and that's why he dreamed about them.)

For this one, the theories are that: a) Baby Mario & Baby Luigi are different from Mario & Luigi. Highly unlikely.

b) Mario's older by a few minutes. More likely.

c) Nintendo retconned the info seen in Yoshi's Island, or forgot all about it when they described Luigi as the younger. Likely, but not as likely as B.

So, either B or C. Waluigi Freak 99 14:45, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

Well, Mario did encounter those enemies as a baby in Yoshi's Island, so it is logical that he would dream about them. Also, Nintendo did retcon Yoshi's Island in the GBA release. In the beginning of the game, instead of refering to Mario and Luigi as twins (like in SNES version), Mario and Luigi are simply called brothers. -- Son of Suns

Funny how people don't realise that twins can't be born at the exact same time. Of course one is older than the other. It can be by minutes or hours.
- Yoshi Master

In my opinion, I think Nintendo made a mistake when they said they were twins. Paper Jorge

I think so too. In the Japanese games, it clearly states Mario is older that Luigi, and most likely not twins. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

And then there is every game out there that retcons what you just said. Angry Sun 15:00, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

I think... That if they were teins they would be called the mario twins... User:Remiel

If you had a twin, wouldn't he still be your brother? Mumbles 23:48, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

I will believe what Luigi's trophy states in SSBB: "Mario's YOUNGER TWIN brother..." W K

OMG I don't really care because Luigi ROX!
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by PrincessDaisyROX (talk).

In Yoshi's Island, they were carried by the stork at the same time, so they probably are twins. Mario certainly is some minutes older than Luigi. I think in one of the episodes of "The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3", Luigi says it. --Xeze 13:43, 21 November 2008 (EST)

Mario is about 27. Luigi is about 25. Luigi is the younger one. --Jayt55 16:38, 30 November 2008 (EST)

At the end of Chapter 7-1 in Super Paper Mario, Luvbi says to Tippi "Dost thou pine for yonder hairy twins?" But then again, I just watched one episode of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and they celebrate Luigi's birthday without celebrating Mario's. W K

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, a character who did not no them referred to them as "middle-aged." Stumpers ! 23:17, 1 December 2008 (EST)

I always thought Mario is 31 and Luigi is 28. So that would mean Mario is older than Luigi by a few years. But Mario just seems older to me for some reason. File:Lemmy4.gif User:Lemmy Koopa Fan File:Lemmy4.gif

AnimeLuigi.jpg - deleted?

Why has this picture been deleted?? --Grandy02 06:56, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

I myself am not sure. According to the deletion log, KPH2293 (talk), who is VERY trustworthy and all that, deleted it on the claims that it was unused, despite the fact that the page links to it even now. It's no problem, though; I'll just re-upload the image. (And by the way, KPH also deleted Image:Staringcontest?.gif and Image:Luigitennis.jpeg on the same terms; both of these images are still linked through from the article. I'll ask him why he did this...) YELLOW YOSHI 398

Just so you know, I noticed many Luigi Pictures that are on Luigi's page that say "No pages Link to this file". However, they are on Luigi's page, yet they the image says that they are not on this page. Something might be wrong with this page, but I don't know. My Bloody Valentine

Hmm... Currently, all surviving images linked to this page state that they are indeed linked to this page. I dunno; what you said still could've been what caused it... YELLOW YOSHI 398

If something like this happens again, slap the images on your talk page in a gallery, it works all the time ;)

Xzelion^ETC

Super Mario 64 DS

May I ask why the Super Mario 64 DS section is placed after Paper Mario? Isn't it a remake of Super Mario 64, and thus occupies the same spot in the timeline? Dinosaur bob 13:27, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

Actually it's matter of opinion. I personally think the "remake" is in the same continuity as the original and they both happened at different times. the DS adventure could have happened after Paper Mario and the original happened before for all we know. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 01:37, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

According to MarioWiki: Chronology, remakes should be listed in a biography in the same section the original would occupy. This is an official policy. -- Son of Suns

Question

Why was most of the Pics removed? Xzelion^ETC

I don't know, but somebody has to put them here before deletion. PP

Well I might not know Why, but I know who. It was This guy. Anonymouspp

Some of the Pics were reused from some of the same games, plus there was too many of them getting in the way, I didn't change much to the gallery, but please, no more in the main article! I mean, talk a look at the Part talking about Mr L, we got too many pics at that point, I think we can put of of those in the gallery. Luigi 7

Can someone explain to me what is meant when Mario tells Luigi good job but then steps on his foot in Mario Power Tennis?

THIS has a few broken links and stuff. Can someone go over it so it looks like a great Featured Article? I saw a broken link and I see too many red links. Minimariolover10

It is gonna take a lot of work to get this article to FA status. It will take many users, and probably many months for that to happen. -- Son of Suns

Quote

I think "I hope she made us lotsa of spaghetti!" from Hotel Mario would make a much better main quote, anyone agree? Glowsquid

I disagree because it's more of a...well, it's a quote from an unpopular game and people just like it because they use it in a lot of Youtube Poop.

Wanting lotsa spaghetti reflects well on Luigi's personality better. --Koopapoopa 00:43, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

I've removed Donkey Kong and added E. Gadd instead, I know there's more to it, but can someone add to it?

Add some stuff about Luigi's "element!"

On Wikipeda, they mention Luigi's thunder-hand from M&L:SS and how his symbol in Strikers was a thunder-bolt. Add this in! (Without taking the exact text of course) Klaus Kratchet

Knife (talk) 13:56, 15 December 2007 (EST) Quote from a better known game

SiFi, Youtube poops mean nothing on this wiki. Though I always thought "I'm my bro's bro." was a good one.

Lavender, "I'm my bro's bro" is from Super Paper Mario. Not youtube. And, "that's mama luigi to you mario" was actually in the show, there may be a lot of youtube poops for that episode, but Luigi really says that.

Option 2

Oppose. More people know this quote from the intro to Garfield and Friends than from Hotel Mario. Besides, it's already the quote on Spaghetti by now. --Tepples 17:44, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Support. So? It still reflects Luigi's personality.--Koopapoopa 00:55, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Option 3

Super Mario Galaxy

Where are images of him playable in that game?(Super F22 Pilot 04:09, 8 January 2008 (EST))

There aren't very many images of the playable Luigi around. (DarkZero)

Well please upload the image if you at least find any. Also I did was able to play as Luigi by collecting all 120 Stars and switched from Mario to Luigi but then you have to start all the way to the beginning.(Super F22 Pilot 03:37, 10 January 2008 (EST))

"Paper" Luigi...

Luigi's image in the TTYD section looks shopped. His mustache doesn't part from his nose and his eyes are too close together. NMRodo I remember a similar issue with Tayce T.

Dodo's right, it could possibly just be fan artwork (The uploader...) Mr. Guy the Guy Talk!^E

Yeah, it's quite obviously a fake. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:10, 21 January 2008 (EST)

Early artwork

Is there any artwork of Luigi from an early game, like Super Mario Bros. 2, or Super Mario World, or something? I want to see what he originally looked like in one of those platformers. Is there any on the wiki? If it's not in this article, probably not. (I know there is artwork of him from SMB2, because there is of the other characters... where do images like that come from?) Crystal Yoshi 19:11, 27 February 2008 (EST)

You can find a lot by looking at the artwork for the remake (Super Mario Advance). There's one of him running, pulling up a turnip, and maybe one more. Now, whether these were the original artwork, I don't know. Stumpers ! 23:13, 27 February 2008 (EST)

The manuals also have artwork of Luigi. See here for SMB2 and here for SMW. Time Questions 06:22, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Is there any website that shows the artwork? It should be uploaded. Crystal Yoshi 18:36, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Your best bet is Gamehiker. I forget the URL, so please search for "Gamehiker". The site has a gallery sorted by video games. Stumpers ! 20:08, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Well, can I just download the picture and click "upload file"? Is it that easy? If I just do that, will I get arrested for not scaling down the image or something? I'm a little confused about that. 20:32, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Never mind, they didn't have the one I wanted. (I wanted the one that was part of this picture. Maybe it's from Super Mario Advance, but they didn't have artwork from that game.)

Crystal Yoshi

That's the biggest version of the picture I know of. You can chop out Luigi using Paint if you want to. In regards to being arrested: just read the appropriate template for your image (ie, screenshot, artwork, etc.) and see that you hold true to the criteria. Stumpers ! 10:27, 1 March 2008 (EST)

Mr L

Shouldn't we create a separate page for Mr L? --Mario was defeated by Bowser. Peach Cried.

Actually, I was thinking about that earlier. Maybe, but there might not be too much to say about Mr. L, in which case it's a good idea to keep him part of this article to avoid having a stub. Crystal Yoshi

It would be nice for someone looking for stats or tips not to have to discover his true identity by finding it only on the Luigi page. Plus, we have Bowletta, Fire Mario, etc. Stumpers ! 17:38, 6 March 2008 (EST)

You're right. The aticle would mention in the first few sentences that it was really Luigi, but it's pretty obvious. (Actually, when I saw Mr. L, I wasn't sure if it was Luigi after being hypnotized, or some sort of clone or evil twin of Luigi.) But that doesn't really matter, there's a ton of spoilers on the wiki and not much to do about it. But a Mr. L article sounds like a good idea to me. Anyone want to make it? Pseudo-dino first mentioned it, does he want to make it?

Crystal Yoshi

A Mr. L article would definatly work. His millions of appearances throughout the game, information about his HP and battle technices (Shroom Shake!), a quote of his, how Luigi turned into Mr. L after he tried to escape, how he joined Bleck, how he got turned back into Luigi after bieng "killed", how they later found out who he really was and his mention in Brawl. Sounds article worthy.

I won't even bother saying to go to the forums. You need to play 800 vs. matches or finish the first stage in Adventure mode when a digit of the time is 7. I'm sure someone can explain the second part of that better.Knife (talk) 13:10, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Pizza!

From Wikipedia:

"In accordance with Nintendo's marketing policy of naming and promoting individual characters,[2] the new character was given the name Luigi, which was inspired by a pizza parlor near Nintendo of America's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, called "Mario & Luigi's".[4]".

I don't see this anywhere in the history or current version. Should be added, yeah? -- Chris 20:09, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

I'll go on the record saying this is a perfect example of how canon has replaced history on this Wiki. Stumpers ! 15:24, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Luigi Mario?

OK, I found some new evidence on the Bros.' last name. It's in some issue of Nintendo Power, a Super Mario Sunshine article. Mario addresses a postcard to a certain "Luigi Mario." Whaddaya think? I can scan the article or whatever. BLOC PARTIER .

Sounds good - if you give us the issue number, page number, article title, and author we can do a proper citation and you won't have to scan - but scans are appreciated, too! Stumpers ! 15:18, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I'd rather scan it, considering it's part of a poster that I already took out of the magazine. If I was lucky, it'd only take a couple minutes to find, but if not... It could take well over an hour. :O BLOC PARTIER .

Oh, I know that feeling. Good luck and may both of us one day find enough space for all of our stuff so that it is organized. :P Stumpers ! 01:25, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Interactions with other characters

I think that instead of King boo being under interactions with other characters, ghosts should be stated. Because since Luigi's Manison, Luigi has had a connection with not just King Boo, but with ghosts in general. An example would be that Luigi was trapped in the Ghostly Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. I would have went ahead and changed it, but I thought that some people might prefer that a specific individual be listed instead of a species. I just wanted to get some opinions on this. W K

But, that would be like saying "Mario has an interaction with Koopas" in general. Just because Luigi fights them, doesn't mean they have a connection. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi shares bad chemistry with not just King Boo, but also with Boo. Where as Mario doesn't share bad chemistry with Koopas or Goombas. W K

The chemistry does not determine all relationships. (Goomba with a good chemsitry with Diddy Kong??) Anyway, I just noticed... Daisy has a bad chemistry with Waluigi. Does this support the Daisy-Luigi relationship, perhaps? o_0 Marcelagus (T • C • E)

Possibly...
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by PrincessDaisyROX (talk).

King Boo is basically the guy that hates Weege the most, kind of like goomboss/bowser and Mario. King Boo captured Weege in Mario 64 DS, and Goomboss captured mario. I think maybe an interaction with ghosts in general and a subheading with King Boo.--Koopapoopa 00:50, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Personality

"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;"

Isn't that a little too harsh? Sure he changed some things in his story but I think he only did this to make his brother proud of him.

And as for his novel: It can not undoubtedly be confirmed that Luigi made that exaggerated edits. It might have been the author as well in an attempt to make his story sound more read-worthy.

Younger twin brother?

I'm confused. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

How are you confused? Even in the case of twins, they're not born the same moment, if that's what you're wondering. One is still older than the other. --Garlic Man (talk)

Well, how do we know if Luigi's younger? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Read Luigi#Luigi's Age for details. --Garlic Man (talk)

Tanned

Should we mention in his physicl description that in some games Luigi has paler skin than Mario? if yall never noticed look at the Mario & Luigi sprites real close like. [[User:Clarkmaster|Clarkmaster[[UserTalk:Clarkmaster|Southern Voice!]]]] 17:11, 31 January 2010 (EST)

That's kinda minor information, since I only noticed a tiny difference if I looked really closely and made sure that they use different colors. And it's only in a few games as well.

Meaning

I was doing a little research, and I found out that the meaning of "Luigi" is "famous fighter", something that Luigi is definately not. Should that go in trivia, starting with "ironically" or "coincedentially?" (<-- probably not spelt right, but who cares.) Lemmy Koopa Fan 22:45, 8 March 2010 (EST)

Where did you get that information from?

Ray Trace^(T|C)

Ah, one of those "meaning of names" sites. I'm pretty sure it was true, because that's what it said on other sites too. (Wow, I have such weird hobbies...) Lemmy Koopa Fan 17:12, 9 March 2010 (EST)

Luigi in Brawl

I've seen pictures and videos of Luigi in Brawl as Mr.L,a few websites say stuff about this (eye problems and not being able to get the bandana on him.)MegaClaws 11:30, 9 March 2010 (EST)

The pictures were edited and the videos were the result of a hack. I know because there is no way possible to play as Mr. L in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lemmy Koopa Fan 17:15, 9 March 2010 (EST)

Weegee

I think we should have more information about the name "weegee", and maybe even an image of what "weegee" looks like. --Koopapoopa 00:53, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

-_-' Please nothing about YouTube poops or other crap from other meme places...--FREAK ~Game

Freak~ OUT!

I just mean basic information about him, such as the fact that it's from the DOS version and that his sprite is infamous for its staring, stuff like that. --Koopapoopa 01:02, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Yes, and let's put it in the trivia section. --Click to enter my domain! 21:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

information actually about Luigi

In the sections for various games, it just says things like, "mario and luigi travelled through 8 worlds, blah blah blah..." and doesn't give that much information about Luigi himself, like how he throws the shell on the title screen of Mario 3,etc. --Koopapoopa 01:02, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

That's one of the reasons why the article has a rewrite template. Feel free to help improve the article by adding more facts actually related to Luigi and removing unrelated information; if the article talks about things unrelated to the subject, that's only because nobody has taken the time to rewrite those sections yet. Keep in mind when adding things though that the style used for most of the article is not conform to the current quality standards; information should be written in the present tense, speculation, fanon and dramatic writing styles should be absent.--vellidragon 15:15, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Different in SMB3?

The article currently says that Luigi controls differently in Super Mario Bros. 3 (as he does in some other games). I have never heard such a thing (aside from Super Mario Advance 4, of course) but am in no position to test, currently. Does anyone have any evidence that this is the case? --HeroicJay 06:44, 25 May 2010 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure that Luigi plays exactly the same as Mario in SMB3. --Grandy02 06:56, 25 May 2010 (EDT)

So am I, but like I said, unable to test, myself, currently. --HeroicJay 13:25, 25 May 2010 (EDT)

No, really, does anyone have any evidence of this? I'm really thinking that it was added by someone who owns SMA4 and got confused. --HeroicJay 02:20, 31 May 2010 (EDT)

I have SMA4. Only reason I edited that Luigi controls differently is because another editor said so and I'm sorta more Sonic-ish than Mario-ish... but I've seen some videos on Youtube and in the original SMB3, Luigi didn't seem to slip or slide any more than Mario did, and I'm pretty sure jump height is the same. I'll try to get it for the Virtual Console and see if I spot any differences. Sorry if I began (or continued...) any confusion. --SuperSonicRider 22:37, 31 May 2010 (EDT)
