| ~ Paper Luigi |
Paper Luigi is the tritagonist of the Paper Mario series and a minor character in the 2015 role-playing video game Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
He is the paper counterpart of Luigi and the brother of Paper Mario. Seeking to overcome his insecurities and become a beloved hero like his brother, Luigi sets out on various misadventures that often parallel and intersect with Mario's own.
Just like his mainstream counterpart, he is voiced by Charles Martinet.
Personality[]
Paper Luigi is Luigi's paper form. Just like Luigi, he can jump very high, unlike Paper Mario. Just like his original counterpart, he is deeply insecure and seeks to prove his worth as a hero and impress Mario. However, in contrast to the main Luigi, Paper Luigi rarely shows signs of cowardice, often rushing in to help others and fight villains whenever he can. While this makes him braver the main Luigi, it also means that he's considerably less careful, as he usually doesn't think before he acts and tends to wind up in trouble as a result, whereas the original Luigi is more cautious and observant.
Biography[]
Paper Mario[]

Super Paper Mario[]
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.

Trivia[]
- Huey makes a reference to the Luigi's "Death Stare" from Mario Kart 8 in Paper Mario: Color Splash.
- 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 in The Thousand-Year Door, they all fall asleep (the only character that doesn't is Admiral Bobbery in the original version of the game).
- In the original version of The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi's Bob-omb partner Jerry mentions he accompanies Luigi to prevent anyone from seeing him in a dress. However, in the remake, Jerry's dialogue is change to state that Luigi stumbles into people while wearing stilettos and he follows him to prevent anything like that happening again.
