==Creation and development==

 

===Personality===

 

 

 

 

 

 

In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Luigi is shown to cry when he is frustrated and losing a game.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

==Trivia==

*Coincidentally, "Luigi" translates to Italian as "famous warrior", which is ironic, seeing as Luigi is often portrayed as being the "lesser brother".

*When Luigi is pretending to threaten the [[Waddle Dee]]s in his first cutscene in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], a Western-like cover version of the ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' theme plays.
