When was luigi introduced

However, the heroes are now aided by the dinosaur Yoshi replacing Toad , who was actually discovered by Luigi, who found an egg after falling down a waterfall. When he hatched, Yoshi affectionately called Luigi Mama Luigi.

Luigi only appears in the last story of the Super Mario anime series film, Shirayuki-hime appearing just in time to save Mario and Princess Peach from King Koopa. He is part of a group trying to rescue Princess Peach from King Koopa. His appearance is notable for being one of the earliest examples of his cowardly personality - preceded by his appearances in ths DIC Mario cartoons - depicting him and Yoshi initially being too scared to enter a Ghost House.

He also gets easily angered when Mario triggers an explosion when Luigi is in blasting range, and everyone laughs at him, causing him to abandon the mission. However, he eventually overcomes this through his love for his brother and Princess Peach, and comes to the rescue when Mario is having trouble fighting King Koopa. Luigi appears in the Super Mario Bros. He also appears in the playfield next to Caped Mario and between two bumpers.

Luigi has appeared in every Mario Kart game to date. Throughout all his appearances, he is classified as a medium weight, making him a balanced racer, like Mario.

In Mario Kart 64 , Luigi gains a course of his own called Luigi Raceway , which is the first race of the Mushroom Cup and, consequently, the first race of the game. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Mario is his default partner. As in Mario Kart 64 , the first course in the game is Luigi Circuit , but Luigi also has a battle course, which is his haunted mansion. Baby Luigi also makes his debut playable appearance in the Mario Kart series here.

Luigi has also an alternate color which resembles Ice Luigi. Luigi's karts each offer all-around stats for the speed, acceleration, and handling categories, but with poor drifting abilities. In Mario Kart Wii , Luigi can use a variety of karts and bikes, although there are no personal karts.

Luigi adds a small speed boost to his karts, but his best bonus is the weight stat. Luigi reappears in Mario Kart 7. He is once again a middleweight racer with relatively balanced stats.

Luigi returns in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character, though he does not have any courses based on him in this game. This is the first game in the main series since Super Mario Kart to not feature a course of any kind based on Luigi. Luigi also has a racing team in this game called Luigi Gusters. Luigi reprises his role in the game's enhanced port, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Luigi reappears in a playable role yet again in Mario Kart Tour , where he was made available since the Halloween Tour as a Super character; like his brother and Metal Mario , the Fire Flower reappears as Luigi's special item. Luigi also has his own self-named cup and a Team Rally tour between him and his brother Mario.

The Super Mario Adventures comic serial's depiction of Luigi features him in an similar portrayal to his personality in the games and cartoons, however, he is often hungry and wanting to eat. In the first installment, Luigi wants to eat his lunch before working on repairing the Princess's horribly mangled plumbing, whining about his hunger as he grows frustrated with the job, while Mario cheerfully reconnects the pipes.

He gets very upset when Mario is bitten and falls onto his lunchbox, and as more pipes pop up around the brothers, Luigi wants to grab the remains of his lunch, but Mario drags him out of the castle. Interestingly, Luigi is actually enticed by a Ghost House that Bowser has set as a trap for them, wanting to spend the night in it, while Mario tries to warn him that it is a trap.

Luigi rushes inside when Bowser lets loose the scent of a giant hunk of aged provolone cheese, and starts eating it, oblivious to the Boos coming up behind him until Mario alerts him. In Mario is Missing!

In order to do so, Luigi has to recover stolen artifacts in order to figure out what real world city he's in so he can call Yoshi to leave and return to the main castle.

While the gameplay and details of the game differed between versions, Luigi's role remained the same. This game marked Luigi's first solo adventure and was the only one until Luigi's Mansion , eight years later. The PC version of the game has become infamous among fans and internet memes due to the sprite of Luigi fans have dubbed "Weegee". Luigi is a main character in the Super Mario Bros. Here, Luigi is portrayed as a kind and courageous character, often jumping into trouble and making brash decisions due to his determination to protect and save Daisy.

Luigi himself does not do much aside from pacing at the goal while waiting for the player to arrive. Once the player does reach Luigi, he removes the bucket covering the player character's head. In the PC release of Mario's Time Machine , Luigi appears twice: once on the hint icon, reaching out his hand towards Mario, and as a doodle in Mario's journal, which Mario claims that he drew himself as he shows it to Jeff Griffeath. Luigi is one of the main characters in the game Hotel Mario.

Princess Peach was retained as a "permanent guest" by Bowser, who turned the Mushroom Kingdom into his own personal resorts. Luigi was controlled by the second player, his sprite being a palette swap of Mario and his controls being the same as Mario's once again.

Despite this, the cutscenes feature Luigi with a different appearance. This was Luigi's only appearance on the Philips CD-i. In various entries of the Yoshi's Island series, Luigi and Mario appear as babies who are to be delivered to their parents via the Stork , referred to as Baby Luigi and Baby Mario , respectively.

However, Baby Luigi is subject to being kidnapped by Kamek and taken to Baby Bowser 's castle , where he must be rescued by the Yoshis and Baby Mario in order for him and his brother to be delivered to his parents. His name is printed in the background of the stage. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars , Luigi hosted the game's physical instruction booklet, only directly appearing at the start of the game's ending credits.

There is a mention of him on Star Hill , where a Wish Star states his wish; in the English version, he wants to be a great plumber like his brother Mario, but in the Japanese version, he merely states that he wants to help his big bro only implying that it is Luigi's wish. The Japanese version contains additional references to Luigi, such as Garro 's description of A Plumber's Lament originally including the subject's well wishes toward his little brother, and as one of the possible answers to the Dr.

Topper quiz, "Luigi" is an answer for the ultimate enemy in the adventure instead of Bowser. A pre-release screenshot showed Luigi along with Mario and Mallow attending a banquet hosted by Valentina , suggesting he might have been playable or at least would've had a bigger role.

In Oil Panic , Luigi is normally sleeping. However, if Mario spills any oil on him, he wakes up and gets mad, and the player gets a miss. In Rain Shower , one of the characters that Mario has to keep dry is Luigi himself, who sleeps in the hammock in the upper left-hand corner. If a water balloon hits Luigi, he will wake up and get mad, earning Mario a miss. Luigi also made several appearances in the Club Nintendo comic series, usually as a companion of his brother, Mario.

In the story " Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit ," however, Luigi worked as a policeman and actually imposed a fine on Mario when the latter was violating the speed limit of Brooklyn while riding Yoshi. Luigi also insisted on being called "Officer Luigi.

Luigi has appeared in every Mario Party installment to date and has been a playable character in each title, aside from Mario Party-e.

In the earlier Mario Party games , his character color was green, but has been changed to blue starting in Mario Party 3 green is now specific to Yoshi. Also in Mario Party 3 , Luigi is used in a character's place during the story mode if the player is already playing as that character.

Whenever Luigi throws an orb, it has Luigi's emblem on it, which is a green letter L on a blue background. In Mario Party 8 , Luigi competes with his friends at the Star Carnival to win a year's supply of candy; in Mario Party 9 , he helps his friends recollect the Mini Stars. Luigi's Dice Block has three 1's, one 5, one 6, and one 7, either rolling very low or very high. In the first Super Smash Bros. He can be unlocked by completing the Break the Targets bonus game with all eight of the starter characters, followed by beating him on the Peach Castle stage.

Despite being a locked character, he always appears alongside Mario on Stage 4 of 1-P Mode and the How to Play tutorial. Luigi weighs units just like Mario. Luigi is one of the slowest characters in the game, on the ground and in the air tied with Ness for the slowest running speed, and the slowest air speed , as well as one of the lowest falling speeds. Luigi's attacks are either weaker than Mario's, or they deal the exact same damage. Keeping with his distinct gameplay in the Mario series, Luigi also has the lowest traction of any character, but has the highest jumps.

Luigi's moves are mostly copied from Mario, though his copied moves have their distinctions. His standard special move is Fireball , which travels in a straight line through the air rather than across the ground like Mario's.

His down special is Luigi Cyclone , in which Luigi spins around rapidly; the move only hits twice, but deals greater damage and knockback. Finally, his up special move is Super Jump Punch , which only hits one time, but if it hits at the start of the move, it deals much greater damage and knockback.

In addition, Luigi's taunt is a low, short kick that can damage opponents, making it the only taunt in the game that can deal damage. Luigi is also an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros.

To unlock him, the player has to either fight VS matches or clear the first level of Adventure Mode with the seconds value on the timer being a 2 ex. XX:X2 XX. Upon clearing the later requirement, Luigi takes Mario's place in the following fight on Princess Peach's Castle. Defeating Luigi then unlocks him as a playable fighter.

Luigi retains his physics from the previous installment, having the lowest traction in the game, the second highest jump height now surpassed by Falco , and somewhat poor mobility overall, while being a middleweight. For this game, many of Luigi's moves were changed, increasing his distinction from Mario. Luigi's attack speed has majorly improved, and many of his attacks are now stronger than Mario's.

Luigi has become faster on the ground, in exchange for a lower air speed. In addition, his taunt, returning from Super Smash Bros. Luigi also gains a distinct side special move, Green Missile , in which Luigi launches himself head-first into opponents. Unlike Mario, Luigi cannot Wall Jump in this game. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl , Luigi appears as an unlockable character once more. To unlock him, the player must either play 22 Brawl matches, clear Classic mode without using a continue, or have him join the party in The Subspace Emissary by clearing Subspace Part 1 ; with any of the former two methods, Luigi must be defeated on Luigi's Mansion to be unlocked.

For this game, Luigi's appearance has been updated to reflect his current design, and his voice clips use his distinct voice, rather than being Mario's voice clips at a higher pitch like in the previous games. Once again, a few of Luigi's animations were changed to make him less identical to Mario.

Like many other characters, Luigi's damage output was decreased from Melee ; despite this, his attacks remain stronger than Mario's. For this game, Luigi is now lighter than Mario weighing 97 units , rather than sharing his weight. He is also one of the few characters that is able to crawl. While few of Luigi's moves are changed in this installment, his Final Smash is Negative Zone , in which Luigi creates a green void that deals a random status effect to any opponents caught in it.

Luigi first appears where he pretends to threaten and attack on-coming Waddle Dees. They are harmless and make no move to attack him, but he is frightened by them nonetheless. From behind, he is attacked by King Dedede , who slams Luigi with his mallet, sending him flying into the air.

After he comes back down, he becomes a trophy. A Western-style remix of the Luigi's Mansion theme plays during this segment. King Dedede places him on the road as bait for Wario , who is coming down the road. Wario takes the bait, and King Dedede manages to steal Luigi along with the rescued princess and Ness.

Later, Dedede places a special brooch on Luigi and the others. When Tabuu transforms everybody else into trophies, the brooches, which were revealed to be timer-based revival tools, turn Luigi and Ness back into living beings. Luigi and Ness then revive King Dedede. The unlikely trio set off to help out the others in Subspace. Luigi, along with Ness, then watch King Dedede battle Bowser , and later help him convince Wario to join them.

After they turn the trophies back to normal, they all face off against Tabuu. Luigi appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. None of his moves have been changed from the previous game with the exception of his down throw, which is now a Ground Pound instead of a body slam; and Final Smash, which is now Poltergust ; when used, Luigi pulls out the vacuum, which sucks in opponents, damages them, and launches them back out. Luigi's damage output has been lowered overall, but in exchange, his mobility is faster.

In this game, Luigi can use equipment to boost his stats at the cost of others. In addition to generic badges, Luigi, like Mario, can wear certain additional equipment such as shoes speed , overalls defense , and gloves attack.

Finally, Luigi can use alternate special moves, which function differently than the base moves. Luigi returns as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. He has a new running animation, which is very similar to his running animation in Luigi's Mansion. Like Mario, Luigi also receives a new walking animation. Aside from this, a few of his moves have changed, such as his up tilt and forward tilt. The former is an uppercut that goes straight upwards instead of a spinning uppercut in the original Super Smash Bros.

Luigi also now uses his new Poltergust G for his grab and throws. Luigi's forward and back throws involve him slamming the opponent in multiple directions, while his up throw has him eject foes directly from the Poltergust G Luigi also uses the Poltergust G in his Final Smash.

Luigi's up smash is nicknamed the Lead Headbutt, while his standard air is the Luigi Kick. Luigi benefits from universal changes: his mobility has been made faster, no longer being below-average; his short hop timing and landing lag in his aerials are reduced, making them faster; he can directionally air dodge once again, improving his recovery; and he can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack while holding onto ladders.

Luigi's traction has been majorly improved, no longer being the lowest in the game, and is more in line with Mario's. Luigi's forward tilt and dash attack both deal more damage, his forward smash deals more knockback, and his down smash's clean hit is more likely to connect.

His down tilt deals less damage, in exchange for having less ending lag. Luigi appears in Simon 's debut trailer, "Vampire Killer", where he is walking through Dracula's Castle with his Poltergust while terrified of his surroundings. He attempts to ward off various approaching mummies with his Poltergust's flashlight, eventually hitting one of the mummies in the face with a plunger, which sticks for a few seconds before causing the Mummy to pursue Luigi in a rage, forcing him to flee.

He then exits the door into another room, only to find a moving Medusa bust with glowing eyes, causing him to flee again before tripping and landing on his posterior. He then gets back up and looks up to see Death, who kills him with his Scythe as he is screaming. Death is then ambushed and warded off by Simon. At the end of the trailer, Luigi's soul attempts to reunite with his corpse, but as he does so, Carmilla's mask appears in the window next to him, causing him to scream.

Luigi briefly appears in Piranha Plant 's reveal trailer, where he is seen dazed alongside a group of Yoshis. Luigi is unlocked as the 33rd character to be unlocked via playing VS matches, completing Classic Mode as Mario or anyone within his unlock tree, being the fifth character in Mario's unlock tree, or getting him to join the player's party in World of Light.

On a side note, as with several other returning characters, Luigi's victory theme, which is the orchestral arrangement of the level clear theme from Super Mario Bros. Mario and Peach, and in this game, Daisy has been slightly shortened and sped up compared to the previous installments. Luigi's Classic Mode route has him fight dark or scary opponents, referencing his cowardly nature, which is most prevalent in the Luigi's Mansion series.

Luigi's Classic Mode route's name also alludes to the Luigi's Mansion series, which has him fight ghosts. Luigi also appears as a reoccurring character in the Mario Tennis cast. Through all titles, Luigi is an all-around tennis player like his brother, although he had better control and net play. Luigi also gained a rival by the name of Waluigi in the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Tennis and Luigi is one of the few characters to be initially playable in the Game Boy Color version.

In Mario Power Tennis , his mansion appears as a court. In Mario Tennis Open , the Miis can wear a uniform based on Luigi, as well as his costume, which is unlocked by winning the doubles Final Cup.

In Mario Tennis Aces , he wears tennis gear instead of his usual outfit by default, although his usual outfit could be unlocked by accumulating participation points in the January online tournament. Once Bowser started lifting Peach's Castle into the sky with his own castle , Luigi escaped back to his house , where he is found for the remaining duration of the game.

Luigi spent most of his time lamenting his own inactivity, begging for Mario to take him along and practice for future quests. With all his downtime, Luigi also built a basement in which he kept a secret diary where he wrote about various things, such as how he disliked being left out of adventures with his brother.

One notable entry in his diary had him dreaming about starring in his own game, foreshadowing his next solo quest, Luigi's Mansion. Every time Mario gets a move upgrade, Luigi is in a different spot.

Mario could use his new moves to enter or affect these areas, triggering some humorous dialogue with Luigi. In the ending, Luigi, learning how Mario got the Star Rod back from Bowser, deduced it was another adventure in the books despite days having passed since then.

He also got another invitation to a party from Peach from Parakarry who got an invitation himself , and then traveled with Mario to Toad Town before leaving him due to "important business", and citing he can't tell Mario due to it being top secret. Later in the game, a Duplighost tries to turn himself into Kooper , but instead turns himself into Luigi.

After every chapter in the game, Mario could find Luigi and listen to his story in Rogueport. When telling Mario the story, Luigi constantly exaggerated to make the story better and to make himself sound much more heroic; Luigi's partners including Blooey , Hayzee , Jerry , Screamy and Torque , who generally hated him and only traveled with him because Luigi owed them a debt, almost always secretly told Mario what really happened.

Later, Luigi got interviewed and five Super Luigi books were sold. Luigi's story sounded extremely similar to Mario's in most aspects. He usually messed up during his adventure, such as accidentally knocking his partner Blooey the Blooper into lava. Luigi also appears in the audience of Mario's battles, sometimes throwing helpful items to him. His fan club , whose members include Toadia , a Toad from Poshley Heights , was also given two mentions in the game. The character Pennington constantly mistakes Mario for Luigi until almost the very end of the game.

Lastly, Luigi's silhouette is the first of the many white character silhouettes that walk across the screen during the game's ending credits, continuing Luigi's past RPG roles as a parade leader. Who's this guy? Come on, you really need to ask me that?

Gimme a break! That's your brother, Luigi! I wonder why he's here? I'm sure he'll tell you if you ask him. In the game Super Paper Mario , Luigi plays a very large role, much bigger than he did in the previous Paper Mario games; in fact, a considerable part of the entire story of the game depends on him as the man in green of both prophecies, he must decide which one of them, the light or the dark , to trigger.

He is noticeably as brave as Mario here, rushing in to save Princess Peach, jumping on Bowser, and calling Count Bleck a "goon". He is a playable character for the first time in the series, and the last character to join Mario's party.

His special move is the super jump , which has him fold up then launch into the air; he also has a somewhat higher regular jump and slightly lower traction than his brother. At the beginning of the game, Mario and Luigi head to Bowser's Castle once they learn Peach has been kidnapped again. Luigi is then sucked into a vortex along with Bowser and his minions by Count Bleck. Luigi then wakes up during Peach and Bowser's forced marriage and attempts to stop the wedding, but fails.

He is then rendered unconscious until the end of Chapter 2, where a pair of Goombas witness his awakening. Luigi wishes to try and save the Princess again, but the Goombas convince him to help them escape. They head off, but are stopped by a dead end.

As they try to think of what to do next, Nastasia appears and hypnotizes one of the Goombas. Trapped by her and a group of Koopa Troop-turned-Bleck minions, the other Goomba simply surrenders to her and willingly joins Bleck's forces. Nastasia then orders the minions to hold Luigi in place as she brainwashes him. It is due to this that Luigi became Mr. L , also known as "The Green Thunder".

Before Mario could get his hands on the fifth Pure Heart , Mr. L makes appearance in the Whoa Zone , Mario and his team do not recognize that Mr. L is actually Luigi. L returns again as a boss during Chapter 6, after Sammer's Kingdom is destroyed. After being defeated, Dimentio betrays him and sends Mr.

L to The Underwhere. He lost all memory of his having been Mr. L and returned to his normal state. Mario finds Luigi scared in The Underwhere Chapter 7 , and the two soon regrouped with the other playable characters Bowser and Princess Peach as well. After defeating Dimentio, Luigi gets knocked out by Dimentio's fake suicidal attack. Peach later finds and awakens him, and they and Bowser later rejoined Mario, and their combined strength allowed them to defeat Count Bleck.

However, Dimentio then snatched the Chaos Heart from him and activated a mind-controlling Floro Sprout he had planted on Luigi much earlier, turning his mind back into Mr. Luigi makes another appearance in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Here, he can be seen in the backgrounds and scenery within five areas:. The player can Paperize the environment to pull Luigi out, who appears in a small size. Luigi then jumps out of the scenery and leave.

In Shy Guy Jungle , if the player keeps digging through the pile of paper, they may find a piece of paper that says a "mysterious green guy" was spotted at Goomba Fortress. The player can also read articles about Luigi's various appearances in the northernmost house in the east section of Decalburg. Sticker Star is notable for being the only game in the Paper Mario series where Luigi had no lines of dialogue.

Luigi reappears in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He can be found in the following six areas:. Unlike Sticker Star , Luigi has dialogue this time around. If he is found in all of the six locations, he once again can be seen leading the ending parade while on his kart. Upon noticing that the town is deserted, the two head to Peach's Castle. However, they are immediately locked inside, and Luigi goes off to find the key to the front door.

After traversing through the Whispering Woods and Graffiti Underground, Mario and Olivia locate Luigi in the castle ruins trapped in a wall. After being freed with the 1, Fold Arms, Luigi sets off to find the key to Peach's castle.

Mario and Olivia later find Luigi in the maintenance room of the Ninja Attraction , trapped in several gears. After freeing him, Luigi claims he found the key to Peach's Castle and hands it to Mario, although this key is actually the master key of Shogun Studios , which Mario is coincidentally looking for. Strangely enough, I have a vivid memory of this game's debut. My family was on vacation in August , going up the Eastern Seaboard.

I actually had Mom dig out the old B. Kliban calendars that hung in the kitchen—Mom planned our vacations—to verify this today. Christ, I hope she never gets subpoenaed. Anyway, we were in New York, my first visit to the city, on Aug. More than just introducing Luigi, this title is the genesis of some of the founding pillars of the Mario canon. While the brothers were initially considered heroes in the same level of fame, it wasn't too long until Mario started taking the spotlight and Luigi passing as a more secondary character.

However, it was later learned that Luigi is not quite as brave as his brother, especially since he's terrified of ghosts. Though still quite brave, he usually prefers Mario to do all of the hard work. It is also thought that Waluigi is Luigi's rival as Wario is to Mario. The reason for this is because Waluigi has an upside down L on his cap and Wario has upside down M. L stands for Luigi and M stands for Mario and as Mario and Wario are rivals it is only fair to say that Luigi and Waluigi are rivals too.

Luigi's first appearance was in Mario Bros. His next appearance was in the arcade game Mario Bros. In this game, Mario and Luigi could play simultaneously and worked eliminate the bugs, turtles, and crabs that were infesting the sewers. In this game, Luigi was almost identical to Mario, other having than green overalls, though he could do everything that Mario could do, in exactly the same way.

The sequel to Super Mario Bros. In this game, Luigi could jump much higher but couldn't run faster than Mario. Some levels were only beatable with Luigi. In the sequel, Super Mario Bros. After Super Mario Bros. In the games, he was usually equal in stats to Mario, but sometimes he was lighter. During the Nintendo 64 era, Luigi didn't star in any platforms, although he was in many spin-offs.

He was also supposed to appear in Super Mario 64 2 , the sequel to Super Mario 64 , but the game was cancelled, due to the commercial failure of the Nintendo 64DD. This was quickly changed with the GameCube's launch when they forgot all about Mario and made Luigi the star of Luigi's Mansion for the new console. In the game, Luigi wins a new mansion in a contest he didn't even enter. His design is based on his appearance in Mario Party ; however, his overalls in-game are colored indigo instead of blue, which references his sprite from Super Mario World.

Luigi can be unlocked after completing Break the Targets with all of the starter characters. Luigi's abilities are almost identical to Mario 's, although there are a few differences between them.

His neutral special move is also a Fireball , albeit colored green and immune to gravity. Lastly, his down special move is Luigi Cyclone : it is similar to Mario Tornado , but instead consists of only two distinct hits and that each launch the opponent away from Luigi.

Unlike the rest of the cast, Luigi's taunt is the only one capable of dealing damage. Largely because of his awkward physics, Luigi is considered the worst character in the game and is currently ranked 12th out of 12 on the tier list. This places him at the bottom of the C tier as a bottom tier character. Luigi returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee as an unlockable character. Unlike in SSB , his design has been updated to appear almost exactly like his Nintendo 64 render artwork, instead of a combination of his in-game appearance in Mario Party and indigo overalls from Super Mario World.

Luigi can be unlocked in Adventure Mode by finishing the first stage with the number 2 in the timer; in addition to causing him to take Mario 's place in the subsequent battle, it may also be a reference to Luigi originally being the player 2 analog to his brother.

Due to his neutral attack's third hit, up tilt, down tilt, forward smash, and forward aerial being completely overhauled both aesthetically and mechanically, Luigi has been de-cloned into a semi-clone of his older brother. Green Missile propels Luigi forward and can be charged. In addition to being usable for recovery like Super Jump Punch , Green Missile can potentially misfire, which significantly increases its damage output and travel distance.

Lastly, Luigi's taunt is now capable of meteor smashing edge-hanging opponents, although it is extremely situational to use in such a manner. Due to Luigi's moveset and mobility being improved thanks to Melee 's game physics, most notably wavedashing and chain grabbing , he is currently ranked 12th out of 26 on the tier list. This places him in the B- tier, and positions him as a mid tier character.

As a playable character, Luigi is featured on three trophies: his normal trophy, acquired by clearing Classic Mode with him on any difficulty, and "Smash Red" and "Smash Blue" trophies won by clearing Adventure and All-Star Modes, respectively. A fourth trophy featuring Luigi is also available, which is styled after his appearance in Luigi's Mansion.

Luigi Although Mario's younger brother has always played second fiddle, Luigi finally garnered the spotlight with his very own game, Luigi's Mansion. Things are looking up for the eternal understudy; he's even picked up his own rival in Waluigi. The day he's referred to as the "lean, mean, green machine" may not be too far off.

Vacuum Luigi In a strange twist of fate, Luigi wins a huge mansion in a contest he didn't even enter, and the place turns out to be haunted! After meeting a weird professor named Elvin Gadd, Luigi enters the place armed with a flashlight and a ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner.

Mario's trapped somewhere in there! Can Luigi save him? Luigi returns as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. He can be unlocked by playing 22 Versus Mode matches, completing Classic Mode without using any continues, or by having him join the party in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. Luigi's design has been updated, as it is now based on his appearance as of Luigi's Mansion , albeit with a realistic aesthetic and subdued color scheme.

By extension, he now has his own unique voice clips, instead of using higher-pitched versions of Mario's voice clips. Like his fellow veterans, Luigi now has a Final Smash ; in his case, it is Negative Zone , which emits a Big Bubble -esque field that inflicts a myriad of effects at random intervals.

In the transition from Melee to Brawl , Luigi has received a mix of buffs and nerfs, with the number of buffs being larger overall.
