~ Paper Luigi |
Paper Luigi is the tritagonist of the Paper Mario series and a minor character in the 2015 role-playing game Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
He is the paper counterpart of Luigi and the brother of Paper Mario.
Just like his mainstream counterpart, he is voiced by Charles Martinet.
Role in the game[]
Paper Luigi is Luigi's paper form. Just like Luigi, he can jump very high, unlike Paper Mario. He is a lazy coward just like his original counterpart from the game Super Mario series.
He made his debut in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 and plays a major role in the game, he remains at home doing chores and built himself a secret basement so he can keep a secret diary.
He appeared again in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the GameCube when he plays a minor role when he tells his brother stories of his own adventure in the Waffle Kingdom to save its princess, Eclair from the Chestnut King. In addition, the L Emblem badge also changes Paper Mario's clothes into the color scheme of Paper Luigi's.
In Super Paper Mario, after trying to stop Bowser and Peach's wedding by attacking the Chaos Heart, he woke up in Count Bleck's castle and tried to escape, but was hypnotized by Nastasia and turned into his mean alter-ego Mr. L. However, after battling the heroes a couple of times, he was later attacked by Dimentio and sent to the Underwhere, where the others later found him, at which point he had snapped out of his brainwashing and helped the party for the last stretch of the game by finding the last of the Pure Hearts. He then later accompanied them to Count Bleck's castle to stop him and close the Void, during which he ended up in a one-on-one fight with Dimentio. After seemingly defeating him, Dimentio encased him in one of his cubes and appeared to blow both himself and Luigi up, but he later turned out to be alright when he appeared during the final battle to help Mario along with Peach and Bowser. Thanks to using the Pure Hearts, they managed to render him vulnerable to their attacks and defeat him, but after this, Dimentio attempted to kill Bleck, then proceeded to use a Floro Sprout he implanted in Luigi's mind to revert him back to Mr. L and fused him with the Chaos Heart and himself to create Super Dimentio, all while allowing the Void to destroy all worlds so he could remake them in his image. However, Luigi was later freed by the others when they managed to revive the Pure Hearts to neutralize Super Dimentio's invulnerability and proceeded to defeat him. He was later present when Bleck and Tippi sacrificed themselves to seal the Chaos Heart and accompanied the others back to Flipside to share the good news with Merlon and celebrate.
He reappears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star where he can be found in various areas in the game. You can interact with him using Kersti's Paperize ability.
Although he doesn't appear in the game's story, he can be seen in the music player after the player completes the game in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He is on a beach relaxing and listening to the music. He has different reactions depending on which song is being played; for example, hearts appear as he listens to songs relating to Princess Peach. However, he gets mentioned by Starlow when the heroes first meet Paper Mario and one of the Paper Toads in Peach's Castle mentions him when rescued.
He returns in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He can be found in numerous locations in Prism Island and Mario can use cutout to find him. His most natable appearance in the game, however, comes from near the ending, where he uses his kart to drive Mario and Huey to Bowser's Castle.
His final appearance is in Paper Mario: The Origami King, where in the beginning of said game he drives Mario to Peach's Castle. When they arrive, the castle gets lifted up and he gets stuck in a wall. He looks for a key to the castle to help Mario get in.
Trivia[]
- Huey makes a reference to the Luigi's "Death Stare" from Mario Kart 8.
- In Paper Mario, Luigi keeps a diary that also references his adventures in Mario Kart, Mario Golf, and Mario Party. He even writes about his fear of ghosts, possibly foreshadowing the game Luigi's Mansion.
- Luigi was originally going to be playable in the game Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. However, this was scrapped because the developers thought controlling four separate characters would be too difficult. Had they put him in the game, this would have been the second game where he would've been playable, the first being Super Paper Mario.
- Unlike his mainstream counterpart who is silent in most games in the series, Paper Luigi actually speaks in full sentences (with the exception of the game Paper Mario: Sticker Star).
- When Luigi was telling Mario and his party members his story, they all fall asleep (the only character that doesn't is Admiral Bobbery).
