Line 416:
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]]'' although this is unlikely due to the canonity status of the respective games. 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).

Line 545:
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. 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"/>
 
When Luigi finally went on a quest of his own in the non-canon ''[[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; 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 [[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 Gate]] (which supposedly knows all) passes Luigi as "unworthy" to enter. This most likely has something to do with Luigi's "dark secret from his past," which it also mentions; Luigi did something either embarrassing or foolish which he has kept a secret ever since. However, in a interview with a member of staff, he stated Luigi had no dark secret, and it was actually a reference to Luigi's constantly living in the shadow of his brother. He also added: "Why make Luigi into a bad guy? We have [[Waluigi]] for that instead!" 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.
