||
| + | {{Nihongo|'''Luigi'''|ルイージ|Ruīji|Luigi}} is a former plumber who resides in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Luigi is [[Mario]]'s younger twin brother. |
||
| − | {{Nihongo|'''Luigi'''|ルイージ|Ruīji}} is the younger twin brother of [[Mario]] from the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. He's the deuteragonist of some of the series' titles (Despite this, he is considered the deuteragonist by the overall franchise by some regardless). Making an appearance in almost every Mario game and starring in three games as the protagonist, over time, he has become a well known character. His role in games appears to be a deuteragonist to his older brother, Mario. He never seems to like going on adventures without Mario. In some games, usually in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], Luigi is simply referred to by enemies as "Mr. Green Hat", "Green Stache", "Mr. Lime Green", and other generic names, making him out to be somewhat unnoticed by [[Bowser]] and his minions. For example, in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy series]]'', if Luigi shows up at the final battle with Bowser instead of Mario, Bowser will be surprised that Luigi has come instead of Mario, who he is used to fighting. Other than his color being green, he was planned to be exactly like Mario, but as his popularity grew, he developed a personality and style of his own. His jumping ability surpasses Mario's by far and he is normally depicted as cowardly and scrawny, but when he does get the courage to step up, he can be tough and overcome his fears. He and [[Daisy]] are in love. Luigi is also currently voiced by [[Charles Martinet]]. |
||
| + | Luigi is the deuteragonist of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] and the protagonist of [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]] and [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. |
||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | {{Spoiler}} |
||
| − | ===''[[Mario Bros.]]''=== |
||
| − | After the [[Donkey Kong]] incident that the former carpenter Mario encountered alongside [[Pauline]] and [[Donkey Kong Junior]], Mario began working a blue-collar job with his brother Luigi as plumbers in a sewage system, fighting off turtles, flies, and even crabs. Once the Mario brothers defeated an enemy, their payment would come out of the pipes that were clogged by the various enemies in the level. Luigi first appeared in ''Mario Bros.'' as a second player and was a recolor of Mario with no new actions, giving him no different characteristics to his brother [[Mario]]. |
||
| + | == Profile == |
||
| − | ===''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''=== |
||
| + | === Physical description === |
||
| − | During the events of ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Bowser]] and his army, invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and planned on ruling it. With Bowser's Dark magic, he turned all of its inhabitants into grass, blocks, and various other objects, letting him take over the kingdom with ease, but once Bowser learned that [[Princess Peach]] can undo his spell, he kidnapped her and several other [[Toad (species)|Toads]]. He placed the Toads in seven different [[castle]]s heavily guarded by enemies and [[False Bowser]]s, and took the Princess, to his [[Bowser's Castle|own castle]] guarded by himself. When the Mario Brothers heard of this tale, they leaped into action to rescue the Princess, traversing seven different worlds and castles, rescuing Toads along the way, until they made it into the final castle, under the control of the real Bowser himself. Mario (or Luigi) would have to face Bowser and defeat him. Once defeated, Bowser would fall into the pit of lava below, and Mario (or Luigi) would have to release the Princess from her cage giving one of them a kiss on the cheek. In ''Super Mario Bros.'' gameplay, he is the second player's character, with no differences between him and his brother Mario; he's still just a palette swap. |
||
| + | [[File:Luigi (Mario Golf World Tour).png|thumb|left|100px|Luigi's current appearance.]] |
||
| + | Luigi wears a green hat with an "L" symbol. He wears a long-sleeved green shirt and blue overalls on the inside. Luigi is a fair-skinned, tall human with a slim face. |
||
| + | In early games, Luigi was under Mario's shadow. Luigi is identical to Mario but with different colors. |
||
| − | ===''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''=== |
||
| − | Luigi got his first true playable appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', where he accompanied [[Mario]], [[Toad (character)|Toad]], and [[Princess Peach]] to the dreamland of [[Subcon]], where he first showed off his excellent jumping abilities. |

| − | === |
+ | === Personality traits === |
| + | Luigi is a heroic, kind and sensitive character. Luigi aspires to be like his brother Mario and become the hero of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The attention Luigi received from the [[Year of Luigi]] made him awkward and shy.<ref>{{cite video game|title=Super Smash Bros. for Wii U |developer=Sora Ltd., Bandai Namco |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=2014-11-21 |platform=[[Wii U]] |quote=Luigi recently celebrated his 30th anniversary with the Year of Luigi, but all that attention just made him even more shy and awkward. In Smash Bros., Luigi takes a lot of cues from his brother in fighting style, adding flair to moves like Super Jump Punch. His taunts, however, are truly unique. | quotesource= Luigi trophy}}</ref> |
||
| − | In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Luigi was once again a palette swap, but unlike ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', his move set was identical to Mario's. |
||
| + | He tends to chicken out of situations that are beyond his capabilities. In the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario and Luigi'' series]], Luigi backed away from boss battles, but Mario reassured Luigi to fight with him. In [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], Luigi feared ghosts but adjusted his liking for ghosts and has a pet, [[Polterpup]]. |
||
| − | ===''[[Super Mario World]]''=== |
||
| − | Luigi is again a palette swap and has no new moves until remakes. |
||
| + | === Powers and abilities === |
||
| − | ===''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''=== |
||
| + | ==== Powers ==== |
||
| − | In ''Super Mario World 2: [[Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Baby Luigi]] was kidnapped by [[Kamek]] and his [[Toady|Toadies]], under the orders of [[Baby Bowser]], probably as bait to catch baby Mario. [[Baby Mario]] and [[Yoshi (character)|Yoshi]] had to rescue him from [[Bowser]]'s clutches. |
||
| + | *'''Superhuman Strength:''' Luigi can lift and press objects that are several times his weight, but not as much as Mario can. The exact upper limits of his strength are great. In Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi can lift King Bob-omb. Luigi showed an even more impressive feat of strength during the fight with Bowser. Luigi could lift him by the tail, spin him around and then throw him, but not as effectively as Mario. Luigi spins Bowser around faster and farther with more spins. Luigi's incredible strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to perform his signature move, the Jump Jump. Luigi is extremely good at jumping and is capable of leaping two stories high. He is the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom, even better than Mario. |
||
| + | *'''Superhuman Durability:''' Luigi has a significant level of durability. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with superhuman strength, impaled, and explosions-- Luigi can also endure extreme environments, such as volcanoes and tundras. Also, he can withstand fire, electricity, and ice. |
||
| + | *'''Superhuman Stamina:''' Luigi can maintain continuous physical activity for an indefinite time. |
||
| + | *'''Superhuman Speed:''' Luigi is capable of running up walls in Super Mario World, running across the surface of the water in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and outpacing sound in Super Paper Mario. Games display Luigi running faster than Mario. |
||
| + | *'''Pyrokinesis:''' Luigi can create and manipulate fire. This ability changes throughout the games he has appeared. In the platform games, such as Super Mario Bros., Luigi needs a Fire Flower to gain pyrokinesis. But in the RPGs and Super Smash Bros. series, Luigi already has this power. Luigi is quite skilled at using fire like Mario is. |
||
| + | *'''Electrokinetic:''' Luigi has the power to mold lightning in his hand into a sphere, creating a powerful attack, called the Thunderhand, that can shock and damage enemies quite severely. Luigi only uses this move-in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. |
||
| + | *'''Negative Energy:''' As shown in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Luigi's Final Smash ([[Negative Zone]]) is creating a field of Negative Energy while dancing to exotic music. Some of the effects of this Final Smash include putting opponents to sleep, dealing damage, and causing foes to move in slow motion. This move is fueled by the sadness he felt for constantly being in Mario's shadow. |
||
| + | *'''Super Form:''' Luigi can use a [[Super Mushroom]] to transform into '''Super Luigi'''. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ==== Abilities ==== |
| + | *'''Master Combatant:''' Luigi has his own fighting style. However, he never uses it in his games, except in the Super Smash Bros. series. |
||
| − | [[File:Th_(5).jpg|thumb|Luigi from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]] |
||
| + | *'''Indomitable Will:''' Luigi is shown to have a powerful force of will, completely free of evil or temptation. He gets scared a lot, but with the help of his friends, he can gain the courage to take on and defeat any foe. |
||
| − | Luigi escapes Bowser's ambush on Peach's castle with the five toads that would become the Toad Brigade. However, Luigi is separated from the Toads and kidnapped in the Ghostly Galaxy until Mario rescues him. After that, Luigi continues to help find Power Stars, although he is in trouble where the stars are. After Mario gets three stars from him, an exhausted Luigi leaves the Power Star expedition to Mario. After Mario collects 120 stars and defeats Bowser, the player has to re obtain the 120 stars as Luigi, with slightly different handling than Mario including his ability to jump higher than Mario but a disadvantage of Luigi is that he stops slower when running. |
||
| + | *'''Leadership:''' He has some leadership skills, acting as a second in command, and is very focused when there is a goal to achieve. |
||
| + | *'''Expert Vehicular Driver:''' As shown in the Mario Kart series, Luigi is skilled in driving vehicles, such as karts and motorbikes. |
||
| − | ===''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''=== |
||
| − | Luigi is a playable character. When you go to the save file, press left, right and A at the same time. You will then play as Luigi. |
||
| + | == Biography == |
||
| − | ===''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''=== |
||
| + | {{spoiler}} |
||
| − | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Luigi can be played as by the second, third, or fourth player. He is also the Super Guide, in which after losing eight times, a green block will appear the ninth time you play that level, and if [[Mario]] hits it, Luigi will show [[Mario]] how to finish the level basically, as in he won't get all the [[Star Coin|star coins]] or show the player the secret places. When Luigi's doing the Super Guide, the scores, collected [[Coin]]s, collected [[Star Coin]]s, etc. will not be saved. |
||
| + | === Early life === |
||
| + | The stork carried Mario and Luigi in the skies. However, [[Kamek]] ordered the [[Toady|Toadies]] to take Mario and Luigi. The Toadies successfully kidnapped Luigi and the stork, but Mario. Mario fell onto Yoshi; Yoshi's friends helped Mario rescue Luigi and the stork. Mario and Yoshi arrived at [[Baby Bowser]]'s castle, Mario and Yoshi defeated Baby Bowser, then rescued Luigi and the stork. The stork continued his journey to deliver Mario and Luigi to the house porch. |
||
| − | === |
+ | === Plumbers === |
| + | [[File:Mario Bros. Shellcreepers.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mario and Luigi working inside the sewers.]] Mario and Luigi meet each other again, the first documented time since their childhood. They work as plumbers inside the sewers of New York. |
||
| − | He has appeared in both ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. His status was always balanced. Both his Super Strike and MegaStrike seem to have wind elements to them. His number is 2, while Mario's is 1; both he and Mario have a combo number of 11 when paired with their respective love interests (Daisy, Luigi's princess, wears 9 while Peach wears 10). |
||
| − | === |
+ | === Mushroom World === |
| + | Mario and [[Luigi]] heard about [[Bowser]] summoning dark magic into the [[Mushroom World]]. Bowser transformed Toads into inanimate objects. [[Princess Peach]] can undo the spell, but Bowser kidnapped her. Luigi defeated Bowser and rescued Peach, who assigned him a new quest.<ref name="SMB manual">{{cite manual|game=Super Mario Bros. |page=2}}</ref> |
||
| − | If the player collects twenty [[Power Star]]s, then Luigi will appear at the start of certain galaxies. If you talk to him, the player can play as Luigi. After you clear the level with him, a message will pop up saying a ghost has appeared in that galaxy. If the player goes back to that galaxy, then the player has the option to play as Luigi in the stage. At the end of the game, you can go back and play as Luigi at any time by going to a room with a green 'L' ('M' if you are Luigi) and entering. You will pop up again as the brother whose initial was on the room. (Note: When you go back to [[Starship Mario]] after completing the game the Mailtoad will have a letter from Luigi; if you are Luigi you will still receive the letter, but the Toad will mention that you are Luigi and ask why you sent a letter to yourself. This doesn't happen if you are Mario.) Luigi also runs significantly faster and jumps higher than Mario in this game. The downside is that he takes a second to stop running, (He slides for a second before actually stopping) and he doesn't swim well compared to Mario. When Mario swims, it does not take any air to spin under water. Luigi uses a significant amount of air to spin under water. |
||
| − | === |
+ | === Subcon === |
| + | Luigi, Mario, Peach and Toad had a picnic near the cave. Mario shared his dream to his friends, and they claimed to have the same dream. The group were keen to look through the cave and found a stairway leading to the door. When Luigi opened the door, he saw [[Subcon]] and fell into the world of their dreams. Luigi journeyed Subcon to encounter [[Wart]]. Luigi used [[vegetable]]s to defeat Wart. Upon his defeat, Luigi rescued the [[Subcon (species)|Subcon]]. Mario, Luigi, Toad and Peach celebrated with the Subcon. |
||
| − | Luigi appears after the end of World 8. An image floats to the screen, showing that Luigi has been kidnapped by Dry Bowser. After Mario gets past the first Special World, Luigi is accessible as a character by tapping the lower L button on the bottom screen. |
||
| + | === Mushroom World's second invasion === |
||
| − | ===''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''=== |
||
| + | Peach was aware that Bowser sent his [[Koopaling]]s, who transformed kings into different creatures and stole their [[Magic Wand]]. Peach informed Mario and Luigi about the incident, and the Mario Bros. ventured to defeat the Koopalings. Mario and Luigi successfully returned the wands to their respective owners; Bowser informed the Mario Bros. that he kidnapped Peach. Mario and Luigi ran to Bowser's castle and approached Bowser. Mario and Luigi defeated Bowser and ran to Peach, who joked to Luigi that the real princess is in another castle. |
||
| − | Luigi appears as a playable character. He can be played by any of the four players in any level. Like in the other games, Luigi can jump higher with his flutter kick. Additionally, to commemorate as part of the Year of Luigi, ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'', the new version of the original Mario Bros. from the NES in which the players can only play as Luigi, is unlocked after beating the game. |

||
| − | [[File:Mario-is-missing-20080807011907377_640w.jpg|thumb]] |
||
| + | Mario, Luigi, and Peach agreed to have a vacation on [[Yoshi's Island]]. Mario and Luigi relaxed on the beach. They realized Princess Toadstool disappeared. Mario and Luigi search for her until they approached an enormous egg, a [[Yoshi Egg]]. Yoshi thanked Mario and Luigi for rescuing them. He told Mario and Luigi that "monstrous turtles" sealed them in eggs. Luigi realized Bowser and the Koopalings returned.<ref>{{cite manual |game=Super Mario World |page=2}}</ref> Mario, Luigi and Yoshi arrived in [[Valley of Bowser]]. Mario and Luigi fought against Bowser and rescued Peach. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and the eggs travelled back to Yoshi's Island. The Yoshis hatched from the eggs. |
||
| − | ===[[Mario is Missing|''Mario is Missing'']]=== |
||
| − | This is the first game to star Luigi as the main character. In the NES, SNES, and PC title, Luigi broke into [[Bowser|Bowser's Castle]] with Yoshi to save his missing brother Mario. It was an educational game that made the player learn about history. It has been surmised by some that this was an attempt by Nintendo to get younger kids involved in the Mario franchise, perhaps so Nintendo could make more money. In the NES and SNES, Luigi looks like Mario and is the same size as Mario. The gameplay in the SNES version is VERY different, where Luigi and Yoshi must ''travel'' to Bowser's castle. The visual appearance of his character in this game made him quickly become an Internet meme. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Luigi's Mansion=== |
| − | + | Although [[Luigi]] did not enter the contest, he won a mansion. He arrived in [[Boo Woods]] and enters the mansion. A ghost attacked Luigi, but [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] saved Luigi by vacuuming the ghost with the [[Poltergust 3000]]. Professor E. Gadd escorted Luigi to his laboratory. E. Gadd told Luigi that [[King Boo]] trapped Mario into a painting. E. Gadd gave Luigi the [[Poltergust 3000]] and the [[Game Boy Horror]] for Luigi to communicate with E. Gadd. |
|
| − | [[File:Luigis-mansion-cover.jpg|thumb|''Luigi's Mansion'' boxart]] |
||
| + | As Luigi explored the mansion, he realized that King Boo built the mansion to shelter the freed portrait ghosts and made a false contest to lure him and Mario to King Boo's trap. After capturing all the ghosts, Luigi entered the secret altar in the basement to find King Boo who trapped Mario in the painting. King Boo proceeded to fight Luigi inside the painting. Luigi removed the Bowser suit's head to capture King Boo. Luigi successfully exited the painting. E. Gadd talked to Luigi through [[Game Boy Horror]]; E. Gadd instructed Luigi to grab the painting of Mario and return to his laboratory. After Luigi did so, he returned to the laboratory. E. Gadd used the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]] to transform the remaining ghosts into portraits, but used the machine in reverse to free Mario. |
||
| − | ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== |
||
| − | Luigi has appeared in all five ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, in the first game as a secret unlockable character, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' as a starter character. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']], Luigi got his own stage, Luigi's Mansion. His final smash is the Negative Zone, where he does a dance and creates an energy field that causes random havoc on any character caught in it and turns most everything into negative colors.

||
| − | In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Luigi actually heads out on his [[Super Luigi|own quest]] while Mario is on his. Luigi, like Mario, acquires many partners that help him on his journey. Luigi can be usually found in certain areas where he is eager to tell his story.

| − | ==Personality== |
||
| + | Although Luigi does not appear in the story. The player can switch to Luigi after completing [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]]. |
||
| − | In many ways, Luigi is a foil to his brother Mario. Though Luigi is heroic and kind like his brother, he has a tendency to chicken out of some situations that seem to be too scary or beyond his capabilities; he may even cry if something were to upset him dearly. Luigi desires to be like his brother Mario and also become a hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. In the Mario and Luigi games, Luigi would usually try to back away from boss battles, leaving Mario to encourage him into helping him fight. But when he needs to, Luigi is as brave as Mario during events with strong enemies. He seems to be afraid of ghosts, and startled quite easily as seen in the Luigi's Mansion games. |
||
| + | ===''Super Mario 3D Land''=== |
||
| − | Charles Martinet has stated in various interviews that he invented Luigi's voice, and his current personality, on the spot, while doing [https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_in_Real_Time "Mario In Real Time"]. Children would ask him where his "brother Luigi" is. At the time, his interpretation of Luigi had not been conceived, but he improvised Luigi calling out that he's in the kitchen, and that he doesn't want to come out because he's too shy, in what would go on to become his trademark "timid" sounding voice. This was in-keeping with how Luigi had been portrayed prior to this, as somewhat of a coward, and helped to cement this personality for the character. |
||
| + | Luigi appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as an unlockable character. The player can unlock Luigi by completing {{world-link|s1|castle|Special 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}. The player can switch to Luigi by tapping the "L" icon during the level select map screens. |

||
| − | ==Popularity== |
||
| − | Luigi's in-game popularity is understandbly low due to Mario receiving most of the credit for what they do. Despite having many fans as revealed in ''Paper Mario ''and even has a fan club, Luigi is somewhat unknown to some people, possibly due to Mario never saying that he has a brother. As a result of his low reputation, he is viewed by many people (especially Starlow from ''Mario & Luigi'') as a useless sidekick who only gets in Mario's way and makes things worse. Bowser and the Koopa Troop also doesn't see Luigi as a much of a worthy enemy than Mario and even call him nicknames due to forgetting his name (except for Private Goomp). However, after being thrown into the sea by the green plumber at the end of [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]], Bowser begins to realize that Luigi is as almost as a complete threat than Mario. According to his trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, ''all the attention he received during the Year of Luigi made Luigi even more shy and awkward. |

- —Luigi, Super Mario Maker 2
Luigi (ルイージ Ruīji?, Luigi) is a former plumber who resides in the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi is Mario's younger twin brother.
Luigi is the deuteragonist of the Mario series and the protagonist of Luigi's Mansion series and Mario & Luigi series.
Profile
Physical description
Luigi's current appearance.
Luigi wears a green hat with an "L" symbol. He wears a long-sleeved green shirt and blue overalls on the inside. Luigi is a fair-skinned, tall human with a slim face.
In early games, Luigi was under Mario's shadow. Luigi is identical to Mario but with different colors.
Personality traits
Luigi is a heroic, kind and sensitive character. Luigi aspires to be like his brother Mario and become the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. The attention Luigi received from the Year of Luigi made him awkward and shy.[2]
He tends to chicken out of situations that are beyond his capabilities. In the Mario and Luigi series, Luigi backed away from boss battles, but Mario reassured Luigi to fight with him. In Luigi's Mansion series, Luigi feared ghosts but adjusted his liking for ghosts and has a pet, Polterpup.
Powers and abilities
Powers
- Superhuman Strength: Luigi can lift and press objects that are several times his weight, but not as much as Mario can. The exact upper limits of his strength are great. In Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi can lift King Bob-omb. Luigi showed an even more impressive feat of strength during the fight with Bowser. Luigi could lift him by the tail, spin him around and then throw him, but not as effectively as Mario. Luigi spins Bowser around faster and farther with more spins. Luigi's incredible strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to perform his signature move, the Jump Jump. Luigi is extremely good at jumping and is capable of leaping two stories high. He is the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom, even better than Mario.
- Superhuman Durability: Luigi has a significant level of durability. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with superhuman strength, impaled, and explosions-- Luigi can also endure extreme environments, such as volcanoes and tundras. Also, he can withstand fire, electricity, and ice.
- Superhuman Stamina: Luigi can maintain continuous physical activity for an indefinite time.
- Superhuman Speed: Luigi is capable of running up walls in Super Mario World, running across the surface of the water in Super Mario 64 DS, and outpacing sound in Super Paper Mario. Games display Luigi running faster than Mario.
- Pyrokinesis: Luigi can create and manipulate fire. This ability changes throughout the games he has appeared. In the platform games, such as Super Mario Bros., Luigi needs a Fire Flower to gain pyrokinesis. But in the RPGs and Super Smash Bros. series, Luigi already has this power. Luigi is quite skilled at using fire like Mario is.
- Electrokinetic: Luigi has the power to mold lightning in his hand into a sphere, creating a powerful attack, called the Thunderhand, that can shock and damage enemies quite severely. Luigi only uses this move-in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.
- Negative Energy: As shown in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Luigi's Final Smash (Negative Zone) is creating a field of Negative Energy while dancing to exotic music. Some of the effects of this Final Smash include putting opponents to sleep, dealing damage, and causing foes to move in slow motion. This move is fueled by the sadness he felt for constantly being in Mario's shadow.
- Super Form: Luigi can use a Super Mushroom to transform into Super Luigi.
Abilities
- Master Combatant: Luigi has his own fighting style. However, he never uses it in his games, except in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- Indomitable Will: Luigi is shown to have a powerful force of will, completely free of evil or temptation. He gets scared a lot, but with the help of his friends, he can gain the courage to take on and defeat any foe.
- Leadership: He has some leadership skills, acting as a second in command, and is very focused when there is a goal to achieve.
- Expert Vehicular Driver: As shown in the Mario Kart series, Luigi is skilled in driving vehicles, such as karts and motorbikes.

Etymology
Luigi is an Italian name; it represents Luigi's nationality. The name means "renown fighter", despite his timid personality. Luigi is also a German name. The name means "famous fighter".
Portrayal
Charles Martinet has stated in various interviews that he invented Luigi's voice, and his current personality, on the spot, while doing "Mario In Real Time". Children would ask him where his "brother Luigi" is. At the time, his interpretation of Luigi had not been conceived, but he improvised Luigi calling out that he's in the kitchen, and that he doesn't want to come out because he's too shy, in what would go on to become his trademark "timid" sounding voice. This was in keeping with how Luigi had been portrayed prior to this, as somewhat of a coward, and helped to cement this personality for the character.
Real-world influences
Cultural impact
There is a restaurant called "Mario & Luigi's" with their respective colors.[6] Due to Mario as a famous character in Japan; people dress up as Mario characters (including Luigi) and race in go-karts.
