===''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.''===

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.

===''Mario is Missing!''===

[[File:Luigi Sprite MiM.gif|frame|]]

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.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

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.

====Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|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.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''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.

====''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]].

====''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.

====''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.

====''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]].
