Once again, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Princess Peach]] was kidnapped and had to be saved by Mario and Luigi. This time, she is kidnapped by [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser's son. The Mario Bros. set out on their adventure to save the princess. Mario and Luigi travel to the many areas of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], fighting the many [[enemies]] that [[Bowser]] and Bowser Jr. put in their way. At the castle in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]], Mario and Luigi ended up fighting [[Dry Bowser]] (an undead version of Bowser). After being tricked into believing that they had finally defeated Bowser, Bowser Jr. steals Peach and the Mario Bros. follow him to [[Bowser's Castle]] where they finally confront a now-revived, bigger Bowser and Bowser Jr.. Again, the Mario Bros. defeat Bowser and his son and rescue Peach once again. After the credits roll, the secret code to play as Luigi is revealed as {{button|

Luigi was once again the second player in ''[[Wrecking Crew]]''. Luigi's sprite was still a palette swap of Mario's, but this time Luigi was dressed in red and had purple eyes and hair with a purple hammer. In this game, Mario and Luigi worked on a demolition site. The goal was to break down every stone wall on each stage. Defeating enemies in this game was not easy, as Mario and Luigi's regular hammer dealt them no damage. However, it could make [[Foreman Spike]] fall down if one of the Mario Bros. could hit him with it. If an enemy wanders underneath a drum, Mario or Luigi could trap them by causing the drum to fall.
===''NES Open Tournament Golf''===
Luigi has appeared in every game of the ''Mario Golf'' series. His first appearance was in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. In the game, Luigi's caddy was [[Princess Daisy]].
===''
[[File:Luigi Artwork - Mario Kart 8.png|thumb|''[[Mario Kart 8]]'']]
Luigi has appeared in every ''Mario Kart'' game to date. Throughout all his appearances, he is classified as a medium weight, making him balanced, but average, in every category, just as Mario. ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and currently ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' are one of the few games in the ''Mario Kart'' series that does not have a course based on Luigi. When Luigi is a computer-controlled character, he has a tendency to use [[Star|star power]] in races. ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' is the first appearance of his course, [[Luigi Circuit#Mario Kart 64|Luigi Raceway]], which is a part of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. Luigi also has a different set of voices in the Japanese version of the game. Another version of [[Luigi Circuit#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Luigi's course]] appeared in the ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as a part of the [[Lightning Cup]]. Notably, in this game, his ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' Japanese voice) in all versions of the game.
Luigi in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' has received a special item: the [[Green Fireball]], as well as a personal kart, the [[Green Fire]]. [[Mario]] is his default partner. As in ''Mario Kart 64'', the first course in the game is [[Luigi Circuit#Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|Luigi Circuit]], but Luigi also has a battle course, which is his haunted [[Luigi's Mansion (place)#Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|mansion]]. [[Baby Luigi]] also makes his debut playable appearance in the ''Mario Kart'' series here.
Luigi also appeared in the ''Mario Kart'' games for the arcade, ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. His and Mario's special character items are the [[Star]], [[Fireball]], [[Hammer]], and [[Chain Chomp]]. In ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'', his personal kart is a train-like vehicle while in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'', his personal kart is the [[Vacuum Star]]. Luigi has also an alternate color which resembles [[Ice Luigi]]. Unlike most other ''Mario Kart'' games, Luigi does not have a course based on him in the game.
Luigi's personal karts ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' are the [[Poltergust 4000]], the [[Streamliner]], and the [[Standard LG]]. Luigi's karts each offer all-around stats for the speed, acceleration, and handling categories, but with poor drifting abilities. They are the second worst when compared to [[R.O.B.|R.O.B.'s]] karts. His [[Luigi's Mansion (place)#Mario Kart DS|mansion]] reappears as a course in the [[Mushroom Cup]] (different from the ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' battle course), as well as the Luigi Circuits from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', in [[Leaf Cup]], and ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', in [[Shell Cup]].
Luigi in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' can use a variety of karts and bikes, although there are no personal karts. The only course based on Luigi in this game is [[Luigi Circuit#Mario Kart Wii|Luigi Circuit]], the first course of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. Luigi has a small speed boost, but his best bonus is the weight stat.
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' Luigi is once again a middleweight racer with relatively balanced stats. Two [[Luigi Raceway|Luigi]] [[Luigi's Mansion (course)|themed]] tracks also return as retro tracks.
Luigi returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a playable character. He is a middleweight racer, with his stats being relatively balanced.

In ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Mario was kidnapped by Bowser, and it was up to Luigi to find him. During his quest, Luigi learned about geography, battled Bowser's seven children, and got help from [[Yoshi]] while traveling across [[Earth|the real world]] to find Mario. In the end, he saved Mario. Then, the Mario Bros. loaded Bowser into a cannon and fired him into the snow. Bowser froze instantly and split in half. However, this ending only applied to the SNES version of the game. This game marked Luigi's solo-adventure debut and was the only solo adventure for Luigi until 2001 when the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' was released marking his second time as a main character in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. The PC sprite of Luigi in ''Mario is Missing!'' (pictured on right), is what inspired the famous internet meme; Weegee.
===''Mario
In ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' Luigi appeared as the level's goal and the player had to navigate the level to get to Luigi.
===''Hotel Mario''===
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 was controlled by the second player, his sprite being a palette swap of Mario once again. Despite this, the cutscenes feature Luigi in his unique Super Mario Bros. 2 appearance. This was Luigi's only appearance on the [[Philips CD-i]].
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:SMRPGCL.png|thumb|left|Luigi in the credits.]]
Luigi only made several cameos in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In [[Star Hill]], Luigi made a wish: he wanted to be a great plumber, just like his brother. In the ending of the game, Luigi was the leader of the parade. Luigi also hosted the manual of ''Super Mario RPG''. A screenshot from the beta version of the game showed Luigi (along with Mario and [[Mallow]]) attending a banquet hosted by [[Valentina]], suggesting he might have been playable.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:Mpluigi.png|thumb|right|Luigi in ''Mario Party''.]]
Luigi was a part of the main cast in the ''Mario Party Series'', and has appeared in every game. Along with his brother and everyone else, Luigi wants to become the Superstar. In the earlier ''Mario Party games'', his character color was green, but has recently been changed to blue in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', his favorite item is the [[Skeleton Key]], and his Duel Mode partner is [[Goomba]]. In ''Mario Party 3'', Luigi is the only character to have a different Star Stamp (five to be exact) and had every single one, except for mischief and beauty. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' he shares his Character Orb with Mario, the [[Fireball Orb]]. Luigi's partner in these games is usually his brother, Mario. Whenever Mario throws an orb, it has Luigi's symbol on it; a green letter L.

Luigi has appeared in each of the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' titles. His roles have varied from game to game.
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'' game ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'', Luigi assists Mario in trying to save passengers who are escaping from the top of a burning castle. In ''[[Oil Panic]]'', Luigi will normally be sleeping. However, if Mario spills any oil on him, he'll wake up, get mad and the player will get a miss.
''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'', Luigi appears in ''[[Chef (Game & Watch)|Chef]]'' as one of the cooks who will deliver food to Princess Peach.
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', Luigi appears in ''[[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|Mario Bros.]]'', where he assists Mario in moving cakes onto a truck.
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Luigi maintains his roles in ''Chef'' and ''Mario Bros.'', but he also appeared in ''[[Rain Shower]]'' and ''[[Boxing]]''. In ''Rain Shower'', one of the characters that Mario has to keep dry is Luigi himself. In ''Boxing'', Luigi has to face a [[Wiggler]], a [[Boo]], and [[Waluigi]] in a set of three different boxing matches.

[[File:SiblingRivarlyTakeThatLuluMarioPowerTennis.JPG|thumb|200px|left|'''Luigi''' wins the Mushroom Cup in ''Mario Power Tennis''.]]
Luigi also appeared as a regular occurring character in the ''Mario Tennis'' cast. Luigi was an All-around tennis player like his brother, although he had better control and net play. Luigi also gained a rival by the name of [[Waluigi]] in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]''. In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Luigi's Mansion appeared as a court. Luigi's Offensive Power shot was the [[Squeaky Mallet]], and his Defensive Power Shot was the [[Poltergust Return]]. In the cut scenes of ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi usually appeared playing alongside with his brother, Mario, on the court. A specific cutscene with Mario and Luigi played when Luigi wins a championship. Luigi wove around his trophy and Mario walks up, congratulates him (slapping him on the back and saying things like "Good Job"), meanwhile stepping on his foot. Luigi's [[taunt]] in ''Mario Power Tennis'' was to wave his arms and says "Luigi Time!", he does the same in ''Mario Tennis Open''. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi finds what's under a [[Shy Guy]]'s mask in Shy Guy's ending cutscene. In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Luigi returns as an All-Around character.

====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:luigi parade.png|frame|right|Luigi dressed up to lead the parade at the end of ''Paper Mario''.]]
During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Luigi was left to protect and maintain [[Mario's House|his home]] while his [[Mario|brother]] pursued the [[Star Spirits]]. Luigi spent most of his time lamenting his own inactivity, begging for Mario to take him along and practice for future quests. With all his downtime, Luigi also built a basement in which he kept [[Luigi's Diary|a secret diary]] where he wrote about various things, such as how he disliked being left out of adventures with his brother. One notable entry in his diary had him dreaming about starring in his own game, foreshadowing his next solo quest, ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. After Mario gets the [[Ultra Hammer]] and [[Ultra Boots]], Luigi could be found outside, sitting on a [[Metal Block]] or very high [[Brick Block]] respectively. Mario could use his new moves to break the blocks, triggering some humorous dialogue. He also led the parade in the end credits, much like in ''Super Mario RPG''. Also notable is that a [[Duplighost]] tries to turn himself into [[Kooper]], but instead manages to turn himself into Luigi.

''He's Luigi. I don't have to say anything about him, do I? He's your brother!''
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PaperLuigi2.png|thumb|x120px|left|Luigi, telling [[Mario]] his first story.]]
While Mario saved Princess Peach and collected the [[Crystal Stars]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Luigi also had a mission of his own. After every chapter in the game, Mario could hear Luigi's story in [[Rogueport]]. When telling Mario the story, Luigi constantly exaggerated to make the story better and to make himself sound much more heroic; Luigi's [[partner]]s, who generally hated him and only traveled with him because Luigi owed them a debt, almost always secretly told Mario what really happened. Later, Luigi got interviewed and five ''[[Super Luigi series|Super Luigi]]'' books were sold. Luigi's adventure involved rescuing [[List of Implied Characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] of the [[Waffle Kingdom]] from the [[List of Implied Characters#Chestnut King|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 the [[lava]].
He also appeared in the audience when in battle. He cheered 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. He also appears in [[Glitzville]] when Mario is fighting some wrestlers, like [[Rawk Hawk]]. [[Luigi Fan Club|His fan club]], whose members include [[Toadia]], a Toad from Poshley Heights, was also given two mentions in the game. The "L Emblem" Badge changed Mario's clothes to Luigi's. The log for the enemy [[Iron Cleft]] states that the Cleft in the green shoes was younger, probably a reference to Luigi. [[Pennington]] constantly mistook Mario for Luigi until almost the very end of the game. Lastly, it is worthy of note that Luigi's silhouette was the first of the many white character silhouettes who walked across varying areas of the screen during the game's ending credits, continuing Luigi's past RPG roles as a parade leader.
;Tattle information
''Who's this guy? ...Come on, you really need to ask me that? Gimme a break! That's your brother, Luigi! But...I wonder why he's here? I'm sure he'll tell you if you ask him.''
====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:Mr L Render.png|thumb|140px|right|Luigi's brainwashed thief-like and evil alter-ego, [[Mr. L]].]]
{{main|Mr. L}}
In the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Luigi plays a much bigger role than he did in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games. 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 sent him out of the screen. He is a playable character and the last character to join Mario's party.
At the beginning of the game, Luigi is unconscious and at the location of Peach and Bowser's forced marriage. Luigi then wakes up and tries to stop the wedding, but fails. He is then rendered unconscious until the end of Chapter 2, where he a pair of Goombas witness his awakening. Luigi wishes to try and save the princess again, but the Goombas convince him to help them escape. They head off, but are stopped by a dead end. As they try to think of what to do next, [[Nastasia]] appears and hypnotizes one of the Goombas. Trapped by her and a group of Koopa Troop-turned-Bleck minions, the other Goomba simply surrenders to her and willingly joins Bleck's forces. Nastasia then orders the minions to hold him in place as she brainwashes him. It is due to this that Luigi became [[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 didn't recognize that Mr. L was really Luigi. He attacked with a super jump and could use [[Shroom Shake]]s during battle. To stop him from using the Shroom Shake, the player could attack him before it heals him, or steal it for themselves with [[Thoreau]]. When he was bested in combat, he revealed his trusted giant-robot "brother", [[Brobot]], with which he attacked Mario in space. When he was defeated, he vowed to return. Later, at Count Bleck's lair, Mr. L did not seem to be 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 [[Sammer's Kingdom]] was destroyed. Here, he fought with [[Brobot L-Type]]. After being defeated, [[Dimentio]] betrayed him and sent him to [[The Underwhere]]. He lost all memory of his having been Mr. L and returned to his normal state. Mario found him scared in The Underwhere (Chapter 7) , and the two soon regrouped with the other playable characters ([[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]]) as well.
[[File:Paper Luigi.png|left|thumb|160px|right|The actual Luigi's appearance in ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
Eventually, Luigi faced [[Dimentio]] in [[Castle Bleck]] alone, not even with a single [[Pixl]] by his side. He managed to defeat Dimentio, but gets knocked out by Dimentio's fake suicidal attack. Peach found and awakened him, and they and Bowser later rejoined Mario, and their combined strength allowed them to defeat Count Bleck. However, Dimentio then snatched the [[Chaos Heart]], and activated a mind-controlling [[Floro Sprout]] he had planted on Luigi much earlier, turning his mind back into Mr. L. After explaining that the prophetic [[Dark Prognosticus]] stated that Luigi was the ideal host for the Chaos Heart, [[Dimentio]] merged himself and Luigi with the Chaos Heart, becoming [[Super Dimentio]]. The other three heroes managed to defeat Super Dimentio and turn Luigi back to normal, and they all witnessed [[Count Bleck]] and [[Tippi]] using 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 seemed to be similar to the "gentleman thief" archetype of classic literature. The pose he did represented ballet, and was mostly opposite of O' Chunks' disco-like pose, even in its colors. Mr. L's other name, "The Green Thunder", may be a reference Luigi's [[Thunderhand]] ability in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Mr. L was also referenced in Paper Luigi's trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', however, he was mentioned as "Mister L" instead (which is what he was called in Japan).
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Luigi makes another appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Here, he can be seen in the backgrounds and scenery within five areas:
*'''W1-6: [[Goomba's Fortress]]''' - While Mario crosses the bridge to the tower, Luigi is seen sitting on the wall in the background.
*'''W2-5: [[Drybake Stadium]]''' - Reach the fourth floor, take the exit on the left and find Luigi sitting near a window on the right.
*'''W3-12: [[Whitecap Beach]]''' - As Mario walks along the pier, Luigi can be seen sitting on the rock on the right.
*'''W4-5: [[Whiteout Valley]]''' - Near the end of the ski ride, Luigi is seen sitting on one of the ski lifts going downhill.
*'''W5-5: [[Rugged Road]]''' - After the [[Save Block]], Mario will reach an area with volcanic rocks falling from the sky, creating holes in the ground. Cause one rock to make a hole below an ledge to reach the underground. Head north to a hot spring, with Luigi seen in another spring in the background.
The player can paperize the environment then pull Luigi out, who appears in a small size. Luigi will then jump out of the scenery and leave. Upon finding Luigi in the five areas, he'll be seen leading the parade at the credits (replacing the [[Green Toad]]), much like in ''Super Mario RPG'', ''Paper Mario'', and ''Paper Mario:The Thousand-Year Door''. In [[Shy Guy Jungle]], if the player keeps digging through the pile of paper, they may find a piece of paper that says a "mysterious green guy" was spotted at [[Goomba's Fortress]]. The player can also read articles about Luigi's various appearances in the northernmost house in the east section of [[Decalburg]]. Due to his cameo-like state, ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' is also notable for being the only game in the ''Paper Mario'' series where Luigi had no lines of dialogue.
===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
====''Luigi's Mansion''====
[[File:LM Luigi Flee.png|thumb|175px|right|Luigi, as seen in ''Luigi's Mansion''.]]
During ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Luigi won a [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]] in a contest he hadn't even entered. Luigi called Mario and asked him to visit the mansion. Mario got to the mansion first. When Luigi arrived, Mario was nowhere to be found and [[Boo|ghosts]] haunted the mansion. Luigi met [[Professor Elvin Gadd|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 (Luigi's Mansion)|King of all Boos]]. In order to fill E. Gadd's [[gallery]] and find King Boo, Luigi had to capture twenty-three special ghosts. These ghosts were more powerful than regular ghosts, and each had a special ability unique to that ghost. After defeating all of the spooks, Luigi had to confront King Boo himself. Dressed in a Bowser Suit, King Boo had all the powers of Bowser and more. But nevertheless, Luigi prevailed and captured the King of all ghosts. After Luigi returned to [[Professor Elvin Gadd's Lab|E. Gadd's Lab]], E. Gadd transformed them into paintings. Luigi saw that Mario had been turned into a painting as well. With the help of E. Gadd, he was freed from his pastel prison in a rather comedic way. After cleaning his mansion of the ghosts, Luigi was able to build a new and better version of his [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|spooky mansion]]. After Mario was rescued, he went with [[Princess Peach|Peach]] on [[Super Mario Sunshine|another vacation]], but this time without Luigi.
{{br|right}}
====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
[[File:Luigi entering the Gloomy Manor.png|thumb|right|Luigi enters the Gloomy Manor.]]
Luigi appears in the [[3DS]] sequel to ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', as the protagonist. Luigi is shown as a cowardly hero, similar to the first game, but he can always get over his fear of ghosts to save the day. Luigi is shown to be afraid of [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Pixelator]], even though it was tested on him several times without any ill effects. Luigi also becomes very friendly with all of the ghosts, who like him immediately once the [[Dark Moon]] is fixed. Luigi also makes E. Gadd feel very proud of him by the end of the game.
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
[[File:LuigiSSS.png|thumb|100px|left|Luigi standing.]]
After Mario returned from his latest adventure, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Luigi had to go on another adventure. When [[Cackletta]] stole [[Princess Peach's voice]], Mario and Luigi had to go to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] to get it back. Luigi wanted to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom, but after a series of tragic and hilarious events, he ended up going with Mario. Mario and Luigi used the [[Koopa Cruiser]] to get to the Beanbean Kingdom and save Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta and [[Fawful]]. Luigi sees how much help he is to Mario and decides to stay on the adventure, even though he was fearful the majority of the time. Luigi even has to dress as Peach for a while. Luigi also had to rescue Mario during the game when Mario got [[Bean Fever]]. He got hypnotized by [[Psycho Kamek]] into thinking he was Mario to get him more relaxed about going into the scary [[Guffawha Ruins]]. He went to the Ruins to get [[Crabbie Grass]], the cure for Bean Fever (which might not make sense because if Luigi thinks he is the real Mario he will not understand that the true Mario is sick; however, it could be possible that he was merely trying to save the man who looked strikingly like him). On the way back to the Mushroom Embassy in Little Fungitown to deliver the grass, he got shocked by a lightning bolt and came back to his normal self. Luigi provides comic relief here, like in a few other games. For the first half of the game, most people recognize Mario, then called Luigi names like "Mr. Green Stache" or "Mr. Other Mario Bro". This was humor derived from Luigi always being in Mario's shadow. When he is hypnotized and thinks he is Mario, everybody recognizes him and asks him if he is okay because he says he is [[Mario]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Luigi & Baby Luigi PiT.png|thumb|120x120px|right|[[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. She was trapped there by the [[Shroob]]s. Mario now had to go save her again and takes Luigi for some help.
Both brothers went back in time to find Peach. However when they went to the past, they were in the time period of the Shroob invasion. Later in the game, Mario and Luigi met their younger selves, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], who helped them find the princess.
The brothers looked all over the past Mushroom Kingdom collecting Star Shards. The brothers ran into many different enemies, both new and old. They also ran into a few allies. Near the end of the brothers' journey, they traveled to [[Star Hill]] to find the remaining two pieces of the [[Cobalt Star]]. There, they met the [[Star Gate]]. Although passing Mario and the Babies worthy enough to travel through it, the Star Gate judged Luigi and said that he was not worthy enough to go in because of a dark secret in his past. After whispering to Luigi what that dark secret was, the Star Gate gave them three choices: go home and have a nice pasta dinner ending their quest, leave Luigi behind and continue without him, or finding the [[Aurora Block]]. The brothers searched through the entire Star Shrine and find the Aurora Block. Giving the block back to the Star Gate, the Gate asks Luigi who found the block, with only three answers (1. Mario, 2. The babies, or 3. Me, me, ME!) to choose from. Whichever answer he picked from, the Star Gate counted them all wrong and said there was a fourth answer, ''Everyone''. Saddened, Luigi began to cry. Angry by the actions of the Star Gate, Mario and Baby Mario confronted the gate. After seeing them stand up for their brother the Gate labeled them the best siblings ever and allowed Luigi to pass. The Star Gate told the brothers that it was just a test and told Luigi to strike the Aurora Block with all of his new found might. The Star Gate told him that the block can grow by the size of the heart of the person who hits it. After saying that, the Aurora Block grows to gigantic proportions and flattened Luigi. With new found love for each other, the brothers continued on with their journey. After collecting enough shards, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi went to the past of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], which has been turned into [[Shroob Castle]].
Luigi and company defeated all the enemies, [[Princess Shroob]], [[Elder Princess Shroob]], and [[Shrowser]]. They finally saved Peach and went back to their own time. They watched sadly as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi traveled back to their time period. In this game Baby Luigi is significantly braver than Luigi despite him being a baby.
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
[[File:LuigiBIS.png|thumb|120x120px|left|Luigi with his Hammer.]]
Yet again, Luigi joined Mario on an adventure in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. This time, the Bros. went to an emergency meeting in [[Princess Peach's Castle]], warning about the dangerous disease plaguing the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], called the [[Blorbs]]. Mario and Luigi arrived in the castle so hastily that Luigi was first shown hopping on one foot while trying to put on his overalls, causing him to trip and fall face-first on the floor, losing even a shoe. Later, for some odd reason, Luigi started feeling tired during the meeting and fell fast asleep without anyone noticing. He didn't wake up even when [[Bowser]] invaded the conference. However, Luigi did wake up when a mind-controlled Bowser came back to the castle and inhaled everyone there, including Luigi (due to [[Fawful]]'s [[Vacuum Mushroom]]). Upon landing in the Trash Pit, Luigi must be rescued by [[Mario]]. Both of them, along with [[Starlow]], must then find Princess Peach, and then a way out of [[Bowser's body]]. After they found [[Princess Peach]], she told them of Fawful's plan of stealing the evil artifact known as the [[Dark Star]]. However, Fawful then took Peach away, and went to steal the Dark Star and re-awaken it using Peach's powers. The Mario Bros. then had to stop Fawful from using the Dark Star to bring darkness to the kingdom.
During most of the adventure, Luigi and Mario explored Bowser's insides and even helped him secretly because Bowser wanted to stop Fawful too. Fawful took control over [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] and was trying to conquer the kingdom, a goal that Bowser had pursued long before Fawful. Though Bowser had no idea he had inhaled his sworn enemies, the Mario Bros. helped him in the backstages, with Starlow explaining to him what's going on with his body. She always used her false name Chippy to avoid being recognized while inside Bowser. The Mario Bros. could also use the [[Warp Pipe]]s in the [[Pipe Yard]] to get out of Bowser's Body and go out on their own missions. Again, Luigi proved to be an invaluable help to Mario, often helping him throughout the adventure. At one point, Luigi even had to rescue Mario from a group of [[Sockop]]s that had taken him. In order to do that, Luigi made use of a Sockop to traverse a field of thorns.
The unlikely trio eventually engaged the [[Dark Star]] in their final battle with the Dark Star itself already having used Bowser's DNA to turn into [[Dark Bowser]]. Bowser had to reduce Dark Bowser's HP to 0 so that the [[Dark Star Core|Dark Fawful Bug]] could fully revive him and make him bigger. Bowser then had to punch Dark Bowser's belly to have him spit out the Dark Fawful Bug and return to normal size. After that, Bowser inhaled the Dark Fawful Bug (while Dark Bowser tried to do the same) and (unknowingly) let the Mario Bros. fight it. In a battle similar to the one they had with [[Cackletta|Fawful's former mistress]], they had to defeat the Dark Fawful Bug's body parts before being able to reach the Dark Star Core. Once they destroyed the Dark Fawful Bug, Dark Bowser became unstable. Then Bowser charged his punches to deliver the final blows on Dark Bowser until he exploded, freeing the kingdom from an age of eternal darkness. The Mario Bros. then met up with a beaten Dark Fawful Bug. They were surprised to see that he survived. However, without a body or the Dark Star to sustain him, he didn't have much time left. With one last psychotic smile, Fawful explodes, hoping to destroy the Bros., however it instead released everyone from Bowser's body. Everyone then cheered on Mario and Luigi for saving the kingdom, but the celebration was cut short as Bowser was angry when he saw that Mario and Luigi were in his body, and engages the brothers and Starlow in what was to be another epic battle. As the credits rolled, the battle was shown.
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:Luigi - Mario & Luigi Dream Team.png|thumb|140px|right|Luigi, as he appears in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
Luigi makes an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the fourth installment of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. His role in this game is larger than previous games in the series, due to the game being released during the Year of Luigi. Luigi's appearance has been changed from the previous 3 games, as his shorts hide his socks and the L on his cap is green, to match his appearance from the main games. Luigi assists Mario, Starlow, and [[Prince Dreambert]] in their adventure to defeat [[Antasma]] (and later Bowser), rescue Princess Peach, and save the frozen [[Pi'illo]]s on [[Pi'illo Island]]. Luigi helps with this by sleeping on the frozen Pi'illos and the Dream Points, allowing Mario to access the [[Dream World]].
The game opens with Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and the Toads being invited to Pi'illo Island by [[Dr. Snoozemore]], through a message by [[Broggy]]. They travel to the island via a hot-air balloon. During the flight, Luigi falls asleep, and dreams of Mario fighting Antasma, and later dreams of the hot-air balloon crashing. Instead of the crash actually happening, Luigi wakes up and falls to the ground out of confusion.
The game continues with Luigi and company's adventure to rescue Princess Peach from Antasma, and later Bowser (who forms an alliance with Antasma, but betrays him late in the game).
===''Mario Baseball'' series===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Luigi was an alternative captain to [[Mario]]. His team names were the ''Luigi Gentlemen'', ''Luigi Vacuums'', ''Luigi Mansioneers'', and ''Luigi Leapers''. Luigi had similar stats and abilities to Mario in the series, but Luigi could perform a [[Super Jump]] on the field while Mario could not, and his Star Pitch was the [[Green Fireball]].
Luigi's stats were well balanced, although his batting skills were slightly weaker than his other skills.
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Luigi appeared as a captain, and his team name was called the ''Luigi Knights''. Luigi, Bowser Jr. and Daisy are the only secondary team captains to have a home stadium, with Luigi's being Luigi's Mansion. Compared to the predecessor, Luigi's batting, fielding, and running have been improved slightly, while his pitching skills remained the same. He also gained a new star pitch called the [[Tornado Ball]] to differentiate him from his brother. In challenge mode, Luigi was the first player that joined the team.
Luigi's ''Mario Super Sluggers'' baseball card listed his Rookie Year as 1982, although ''Mario Bros.'', the game that he first appeared in, was released in 1983.
===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:SPP Luigi.png|thumb|140px|left|Luigi captured by a [[Hammer Bro.]].]]
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Bowser's minions, using the power of the [[Vibe Scepter]], kidnapped Mario. They also kidnapped Luigi and Toad because they got in the way. Peach went on a quest to rescue them.
Bowser makes sure that he hid Luigi well because of what he had done in the past, which led him to hiding him late in the game.
Peach found Luigi trapped in a bubble in the boss level of [[Giddy Sky]] instead of a Toad. She defeated the boss, [[Giant Kamek]] and then freed Luigi.
===''Mario Strikers'' series===
====''Super Mario Strikers''====
[[File:Luigi - Super Mario Strikers.png|thumb|100px|Artwork of Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''.]]
Luigi is a team captain in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' (also known as ''Mario Smash Football'' in the PAL regions). He is a Balanced player and his [[Super Ability]] is [[Super Luigi!]]. Luigi's number in ''Super Mario Strikers'' is 2, probably referring to his being Mario's "younger brother" and his being Player 2. His emblem is a lightning bolt, a possible nod to his [[Thunderhand]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. In the game, his Super Strike is the [[Super Strike#Luigi - Vicious Vortex|Vicious Vortex]].
====''Mario Strikers Charged''====
Luigi returns as a team captain in the sequel to ''Super Mario Strikers'', ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' (also known as ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' in the PAL version). He is a balanced player, and his [[Mega Strike]] uses electricity, most likely, again, referring to his ability from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. Luigi's [[Super Ability]] is [[Super Luigi!]], which allows him to become giant and crush his opponents, opening scoring opportunities, including Mega Strikes.
===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
Luigi appeared in the game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', as a playable character. Luigi is a balanced-type character. To use his [[Special Shot]] the player had to tap the "L" to shoot the amazing [[Green Fire Shot]]. Luigi's baller name was the ''Mushroom Dynamite''.
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
Luigi appeared in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', where he is classified as an all-rounder (all-around in North America) type character. His speed is average, while he has an above average technique. However, Luigi's power is below average. His special move involves Luigi pulling out his trusty [[Poltergust 3000]] from ''Luigi's Mansion''. Before shooting his special shot, Luigi would use the vacuum cleaner to suck in his opponents.
==''Yoshi'' appearances==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
{{main|Baby Luigi}}
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
[[File:Marioparents.PNG|thumb|150px|right|The two babies with their family.]]
In the beginning of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Baby Mario]] and Baby Luigi are shown being delivered to their [[Mama Mario|mother]] and [[Papa|father's]] home by the [[Stork]]. However, Baby Luigi is snatched away by [[Kamek]] and taken to [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Bowser's Castle|castle]]. His kidnapping is the primary reason for Baby Mario and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] to embark on their adventure in this game. At the end of the game, Baby Luigi is rescued from Baby Bowser. After the credits, he and his brother are brought to their parents, who discover the two on their doorstep.
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Line 231 ⟶ 339:
Baby Luigi appears again in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Here, he is one of several babies that are kidnapped by Bowser and Kamek in their search for the [[Star Children]]. He is eventually rescued by Baby Mario, [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Baby Wario]] and the Yoshis at the end of the game. After his rescue, Baby Luigi is revealed to be one of the Star Children along with all the other babies.
===''
Luigi made a small cameo in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' in the level [[Torrential Maze]] of the second world. His name was printed in the background of the stage.
{{br|left}}
==''Wario'' appearances==
===''WarioWare'' series===
[[File:Super Mario Bros. 3-Lift.PNG|thumb
Luigi rarely appears in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' series. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', Luigi (or a look-alike) appears as the bullfighter in [[Raging Rhino]].
Line 261 ⟶ 353:
In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Luigi is one of the main instrumentalists and plays the violin in [[9-Volt]]'s game [[Opening Night]].

====Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Luigi.png|left|thumb|200px|Luigi's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
Luigi first appears where he pretends to threaten and attack on-coming [[Waddle Dee]]s. They were harmless and made no move to attack him, but he was frightened by them, nonetheless. From behind, he gets attacked by [[King Dedede]], who slammed Luigi with his mallet, sending him flying into the air. After he comes back down, he becomes a [[trophy]]. King Dedede placed him on the road as bait for [[Wario]], who was coming down the road. Wario took the bait, and Dedede managed to steal the princess and [[Ness]] trophies, along with Wario's Cargo.
Line 376 ⟶ 467:
[[File:Hidden03 080215d-l.jpg|thumb|165px|right|Luigi performs his dash attack.]]
If the player presses the attack button while Luigi is running at full speed, he will perform a dash attack. His dash attack involves doing repeated hits to inflict damage on opponents. Most of the hits are weak, but the last hit tends to have more knockback than the other hits (although that is easier to notice in ''Brawl''). This move appears in all three installments of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
Line 483 ⟶ 475:
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 also appeared in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', where he joined many of his friends and ''Dragon Quest'' characters.
====''Fortune Street''====
Luigi returns as a playable character in the Wii follow-up to ''Itadaki Street DS'', ''[[Fortune Street]]''.
Luigi appears as a playable character within the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. Luigi's stats are balanced meaning he had no glaring weakness in any event. Luigi's emblem was his trademark green "L". Luigi also appeared in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In the story mode in the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|DS version]], he is found in [[Frostown]] Plaza where he challenges Mario and Sonic to a cross-country race. Luigi joins the party if they win. Luigi is later used in [[Get the key!|a minigame]] in [[Sparkleton]], where he must grab a key from several Boos by collecting batteries for a lamp, then finding the key inside one of them. Later, the group meets [[King Boo]], who is outraged that his Boos have been defeated, at [[Polastraits]] and he refuses to let them pass until Luigi beats him in [[Alpine Skiing|Alpine Skiing GS]]. He later appears again in the third installment, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. Luigi also appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.
==Appearances in other media==
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:AnimeLuigi.png|thumb|200px|right||Luigi in a yellow shirt and navy hat in ''Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''.]]
The first animated Luigi appeared in the anime movie ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' (" Super Mario Bros.: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 (and a red shirt in the promotional artwork for the anime), although it may be worth noting that, at the time of <i>Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!</i>'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; ''Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!'' depicted Luigi as very greedy, typically thinking only of profits and characterized by his pick-axe and shovel, both of which he used to mine for [[Coin]]s. (As a matter of fact, Luigi often left adventuring with Mario and [[Haru-ōji|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.
===''Amada Anime Series: Super
[[File:
Luigi also appeared in another anime, the ''[[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.]]'', which depicted as wearing his traditional blue overalls and green shirt. Luigi only appears in the last story of the ''Super Mario'' anime series film, ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime|Shirayuki-hime]]'' (''[[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.
===DIC cartoons===
[[File:SMWLuigi.png|thumb|140px|right|Luigi as he is seen in the ''Super Mario World'' animated series.]]
{{quote2|That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!|Luigi|Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World}}
Luigi appeared in all ninety-one episodes of the three cartoon series produced by [[DIC Entertainment]], though [[Mario]] only appeared in ninety episodes. In these cartoons, he was given green eyes instead of the usual blue that he has in the games.
====''The Super Mario
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Luigi, portrayed by [[Danny Wells]], is seen living in [[Brooklyn]] together with Mario in the live-action segments. Like his brother, Luigi works as a plumber, running [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] together with him. The episode [[Plumbers Academy]] shows that he graduated from the [[Brooklyn Plumbers Academy]] together with Mario. The live-action segments show the two as having gained a reputation for their plumbing skills, even being awarded the title [[Plumbers of the Year]] in the segment of the same name. In the cartoon segments of the show, Luigi regularly joins his brother in various adventures in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' is the origin of Luigi's cautious, easily-frightened personality which Nintendo later brought into the games as well, including ''Luigi's Mansion''.
====''The Adventures of Super Mario
[[File:Luigi-CasanovaKoopa.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi as '''Casanova Koopa'''.]]
Luigi is played by [[Tony Rosato]] in the two cartoon follow-ups to the ''Super Show'': ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]''. The former is almost exactly like the ''Super Show'', except the [[Koopalings|Koopa Kids]] join their father in making trouble for Luigi and the others.
In episode [[The Beauty of Kootie]], Casanova Koopa is what Luigi turned into to trick [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]] into letting [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]], and the [[Mushroom King|King]] of [[Desert Hill]] free. Kootie tricked Mario by having her brother Cheatsy change her into a human so she could flirt with him and distract him in order to carry out their plan. After the trick was revealed and the Mario brothers got away, Mario used a swiped [[Magic Scepter]] to transform Luigi into Kootie's "dream reptile" as a distraction. The trick worked for awhile, but after Casanova Koopa tricked Kootie Pie into releasing the prisoners and Kootie started kissing him, she accidentally activated her wand. Subsequently, Luigi was reverted into his true state, which made Kootie Pie scream and chase him with Cheatsy behind her
====''
The [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] shifts the setting from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to [[Dinosaur Land|Dinosaur World]], but once again, is relatively the same as the earlier cartoons, with Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool stopping the evil plots of King Koopa and his Koopa Kids. However, the heroes are now aided by the dinosaur [[Yoshi]] (replacing Toad), who was actually discovered by Luigi, who found a [[Yoshi Egg]] after falling down a waterfall. When he hatched, Yoshi affectionately called Luigi [[Mama Luigi]].
===''Super Mario World: Mario &
[[File:SMWMAYALLuigi.png|thumb|right|Luigi in ''Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land''.]]
Luigi is a main character in the interactive anime OVA ''[[Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land]]''. He is part of a group trying to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. His appearance is notable for being one of the earliest examples of his cowardly personality, depicting him and Yoshi initially being too scared to enter a [[Ghost House]]. He also gets easily angered when Mario triggers an explosion when Luigi is in blasting range, and everyone laughs at him, causing him to adandon the mission. However, he eventually overcomes this through his love for his brother and Princess Peach, and comes to the rescue when Mario is having trouble fighting Bowser.
===
Luigi also made several appearances in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic series, usually as a companion of his brother Mario. In the story "[[Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit]]", however, Luigi worked as a policeman and actually imposed a fine on Mario when the latter was violating the speed limit of [[Brooklyn]] while riding Yoshi. Luigi also insisted on being called "Officer Luigi."
===''
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 when Bowser lets loose the scent of a giant hunk of aged provolone cheese. It is also worth noting is that Luigi disguises himself as Princess Peach to infiltrate the Koopalings' hideout at one point, a strategy he would later use in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.
===
The first live-action portrayal of Luigi was in a commercial for ''Mario Bros.'' from 1983<ref name="mbcommercial" />.
===Nintendo Monopoly===
Luigi is the second best "property" in [[Nintendo Monopoly]], losing only to his famous brother, [[Mario]]. Here, he replaces Park Place and costs $350.
In the board game ''[[Super Mario Chess]]'', Luigi is the queen on Mario's team.
==General information==
===Physical description===
{{main|Luigi/Characteristics}}
Luigi is noticeably taller than his brother, Mario, and he is also a little bit more lean. And also, a bit heavier. Yeah, he works out. They both have Italian accents. Luigi wears brown shoes and overalls like Mario, but Luigi's overalls are noticeably a darker shade of blue. Luigi has a green long sleeved shirt and wears white gloves. He has a brown mustache and brown hair. And he has his own special green hat with his initial (L) on it.
===Personality===
Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward. He is also extremely worrisome and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary, such as when someone he knows is in danger or needs help. On the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' website, it describes Luigi as "Mario's fearless brother". In keeping with his personality-based [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]], a sign in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' describes Luigi as "wispy." In several ''Mario'' sports titles, the ''Mario Kart'' series, and especially the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'']] series, Luigi is shown to get emotional at times, as he cries easily.
[[File:SMG Luigi Cowardice.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Luigi cowering at the sight of [[Boo Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'']]
Arguably, Luigi's most apparent trait is his seeming cowardice. Though he showed several instances of cowardice in early non-game media such as ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', his cowardly nature was not actually shown in-game until ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' (aside from a few hints in ''Paper Mario''), and has carried over to almost all of Luigi's subsequent appearances. Although Luigi's {{wp|Fear of ghosts|phasmophobia}} is his most overbearing fear, he usually reconsiders at the mere thought of any monsters or trials, especially in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. However, Luigi can be quite brave, and has saved the Mushroom Kingdom alongside his brother multiple times. ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' especially glimpses into Luigi's more courageous side, showing him boldly rushing into dangerous situations and rarely even implicating his infamous cowardice. In addition, the endings for ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' and ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' also hinted that he overcame his phasmophobia, or at the very least takes exception to [[Polterpup (species)|Polterpup]]s and makes friends with the friendly ghosts of [[Evershade Valley]] and the [[Last Resort]] hotel. In Simon Belmont's reveal trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Luigi is clearly scared of all the creatures in Dracula's Castle, though he attempts to ward them off with the Poltergust's flashlight, as well as a toilet plunger.
Another strong element of Luigi's personality is his apparent complex of being overlooked. Although his Superstar status has earned him many fans, including [[Luigi Fan Club|an entire fan club]] led by [[Toadia]] and multiple supporting [[Toad (species)|Toads]] (one of which claims to be his biggest fan in ''Super Mario 64 DS''), even Bowser and the [[Koopa Troop]] have occasional trouble with remembering his name (as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''), and he appears to be almost unknown in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. Although Luigi's biggest reactions to his frequent overlookings in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series are a few "…"s and face-faults, his inattention was played up for comic relief in ''Paper Mario'', with the snarky man in green complaining about being left behind and perpetually training for that [[Luigi's Mansion|elusive next adventure]]. Luigi's bio in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' states that he has been gaining popularity in recent years.
Luigi's state of being in the shadow of his brother shows strongly in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. An example would be the way Luigi is almost never happy, how his commentary is very monotoned, and how one of his taunts is a bashful kick of the ground. Also, his Final Smash, Negative Zone, seemed to have developed because of living in his brother's shadow forever. Additionally, whenever the crowd cheers for Luigi, not too many people are heard cheering for him and when the announcer says Luigi's name, he sounds a little surprised. [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s codec conversation even has the Colonel refer to Luigi as the "kid brother" and "king of second bananas", despite Snake's protests. Despite this, however, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] did not intend to play up Luigi's overshadowed status, instead aiming to make him "everyone's favorite man in green."<ref name="smash"/> Luigi's state in the shadow of Mario is present in other ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, since the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' addresses him as the "eternal understudy" when he's unlocked; ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' also refers to him in a similar manner, and his cinematic in the game's Adventure Mode shows him [[smashwiki:Footstool Jump|Footstool Jump]]ing on Mario, signifying his tiredness of being number two. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', whenever a Palutena's Guidance conversation is activated when fighting against Luigi, Viridi and [[Palutena]] are quick to point out Luigi's status as "number two" in relativity to Mario, even though [[Pit]] held him in a higher regard.
The ''Super Smash Bros.'' games make Luigi a comical, yet depressive figure, which is evident by his aforementioned unhappiness, his violent taunt, quiet commentary, and origin of Negative Zone, yet, several other actions show Luigi behaving childishly. These include: his dash attack, where he swings his arms aimlessly while keeping a humorous panicking expression; his neutral attack, where he hits opponents with his butt for the third hit; his up tilt, where he "paw swipes" the opponent with his fists while closing his eyes; the aftermath of his [[Super Jump Punch]], where he falls upside-down; his idle poses, where he scratches the back of his head sheepishly or humorously pulls his nose before wincing in pain; and his victory poses, which have him do the following: breathing heavily with his eyes half-closed, falling stiff and {{wp|planking}} on the ground (also one of his taunts), or childishly making finger pistols and pretending to shoot his opponents (which is supported by him saying "Bang, bang!").
When Luigi finally went on a quest of his own in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', he's presented as more arrogant and somewhat of a liar, as he changes the stories of his adventure to make himself look better; his partners claim his stories are false. [[Super Luigi (series)|The novelizations]] of his escapades describe them with even more flowery exaggerations, stating for instance that he played an earth spirit in the [[List of implied locations#Jazzafrazz Town|Jazzafrazz Town]] Drama Slam (whereas he actually played grass on the side of the road, according to [[Hayzee]]) and that he awoke [[Cranberry]] with "a soft call" (rather than a sneeze).
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Star Temple gate]] (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. It also mentions that Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. However, in an interview with a localizer [[Nate Bihldorff]], he stated that Luigi had no dark secret, and it was actually a reference to Luigi's constantly living in the shadow of his brother. "The point of the scene, Bihldorff said, was to build Luigi up 'as a guy who was always living in the shadow of his older brother and that he needs to break out of that mold sometimes. But the way the text was originally phrased, it definitely made him sound like he had some deep dark secret that was awful. I think the powers that be were looking at it like, 'We don't want to paint Luigi as a bad guy here.'<nowiki>'</nowiki>"<ref>Totilo, S. (December 1, 2005). "[https://www.mtv.com/news/1517252/gamers-wonder-if-nintendo-will-serve-more-mustard-of-doom/ Gamers Wonder if Nintendo Will Serve More Mustard of Doom]". ''MTV''. Accessed July 16, 2022.</ref> Even the game itself makes a straightforward point that Luigi has a large heart, as proven when he hits the [[Aurora Block]] and it grows to a gigantic size, flattening him.
In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Luigi is shown to cry when he is frustrated and losing a game.
Luigi is also portrayed as somewhat refined, leading the "[[Luigi Gentlemen]]" in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. ''Luigi's Mansion'' shows him to be a bit of a neat freak, constantly criticizing the dustiness of his mansion and even mentioning at one point that he hand washes his cap as opposed to using a washing machine as his brother does. He also seems to have an eye for art, but does not appreciate many of King Boo's decorations. Luigi has also been known to cross-dress several times, usually as [[Princess Peach]] in order to trick their enemies. Luigi can be sensitive when someone insults him, especially if the jab in question regards his mustache (as proven prior to his showdown with [[Dimentio]]). Luigi also appears to show concern for cruelty to animals; he is horrified by the deer heads and leopard skin rugs in the [[Safari Room]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and declares that he will not stand for an animal being treated in such a manner.
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Luigi is consistently portrayed as being the smarter of the Mario Bros., but the cowardice trait is also shown as Luigi is scared of things going wrong. He also does not take as many risks as Mario does.
Whereas Mario rarely speaks in the video games aside from numerous yells and grunts (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, except in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. When speaking, he talks in a strong Italian accent like his brother. 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 talks only during scenes where the four heroes are shown together. Curiously, the inverse seems to be the case in the rare instance of a Luigi-only quest; both brothers are capable of captioned speech in ''Luigi's Mansion'', but Luigi is limited to ellipses and question marks when interacting with another character. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, Luigi, as well as Mario, talks in gibberish that the player can't interpret, but the other characters in the game do.
''Super Mario Adventures'' downplays
Revealed in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' is that he is willing to help [[Mario|his brother]] whenever he is in danger. He thinks that Mario is much cooler than he is, that he adores his brother because of this trait. The messages that appear in Dream's Deep further explains this trait.
He is also shown at times to be clumsy, as evidenced in the ending of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where he accidentally locked himself out of the hot air balloon that Peach and Mario were on while waving goodbye to the Toads, and also ended up collapsing while trying to enter the hot air balloon, due to it having flown off.
Overall, Luigi's personality is hard to determine and changes depending on appearance. Very few games have portrayed him with a personality that lasts throughout the subsequent release. Overall, however, Luigi can be described as timid and cautious, yet kindhearted, brave, and willing to protect his homeland with Mario's help, though can have his flaws at times.
