Type of Hero

Cowardly Sibling

“	I'm-a Luigi, number one!	„
	~ Luigi

“	Oh yeah!	„
	~ Luigi

Luigi is the main deuteragonist of the Mario franchise, and he has also been the main protagonist of his own Luigi's Mansion series. He is the younger twin brother of Mario. He also had a little known role in the PC game Mario is Missing which is the first official game that he was the star of. Luigi also has his own rival Waluigi and his own love interest, Princess Daisy since Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64.

In the 1993 live action film, he is played by John Leguizamo, who also voiced Sid in the Ice Age series. In the video games, like his brother, Mario, he is currently voiced by Charles Martinet.

Appearance

Luigi is thinner and taller than his brother. As a twin, he wears the same clothes that Mario wears, but generally wears darker blue overalls although not always the case as in the Mario & Luigi series, a green cap with the letter L printed on it and a green long-sleeve shirt and brown shoes. Like Mario, Luigi has brown hair, blue eyes, and has a mustache that's much more smoother compared to Mario's.

In the Mario TV series, Luigi wore green overhauls, a blue long-sleeve shirt, and had green eyes and black hair.

Personality

Luigi is usually described as a coward and Mario's shadow. He is always in Mario's shadow and doesn't always get recognized by people easily, usually being referred to as Mario's brother or Green Stache. Despite that he has a fanbase as shown in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. While normally timid, clumsy and shy, Luigi always manages to summon up the courage to fight his enemies and help his brother out.

In the Paper Mario series, Luigi is shown to be more chatty and cocky.

Despite his sibling rivalry with Mario from time to time, the two have a close bond with each other and will do anything to help one another.

Despite his negative traits, Luigi is sweet, brave, smart, and pure good. It's hinted that Luigi has a crush on Princess Daisy, as the two are always paired when not with their respective partners.

In World of Trophies he is seen transformed into a trophy by King Dedede. He later got a badge when in trophy form and it transform him back to his normal self where he along with Ness and Dedede went on and save the others.

In World of Light he must be defeated to be unlocked.
