Luigi (Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!)

Luigi is one of two main protagonists of animated movie Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!. Unlike the games, he is here a grocer working with his brother Mario rather than a plumber.
==History==
In the beginning of the film, Princess Peach interrupts Mario and Luigi's quality time by jumping out of the television and requests Mario to protect her. Mario agrees, but Bowser succeeds in kidnapping her. Mario and Luigi almost dismiss it as a dream, but Mario finds an emerald necklace from Princess Peach. Working at the grocery store, Luigi notices Mario holding the pendant and then, identifying the gem from a book he has read, believes it can guide them to Mushroom Kingdom where they can get rich. Mario tries to call the author of the book, and he answers, already knowing his name. A dog-like creature, Kidibango, however, steals the necklace. Mario and Luigi chase the dog and enter a warp pipe, where they find Kinoko Sennin, the author of the book. He tells them that Mushroom Kingdom is being attacked and Princess Peach believed from a prophecy that Mario and Luigi can save it, but Bowser has taken her because she has rejected his proposal to marry her. Mario, angry and motivated, wants to rescue Peach and her kingdom, so Kinoko Sennin advises they get help from the mushroom, flower and star, scattered in the kingdom. Luigi becomes encouraged by the coins he may find along the way, so he joins Mario along with Kibidango.
On their adventure, two Goombas watch their progress and try to impede them. The first time, they tell a famished Luigi that they are mushrooms and lead him a field of mushrooms that cause erratic effects to him, such as laughing and crying. Mario struggles to get Luigi to normal, but a Paratroopa interferes and tries feeding him to her chicks. Mario finds a mushroom in a block of ice and tries to climb to reach it, but reveals a rock that shoots coins, surprising him and causing him to fall, but he lands safely. Luigi then finds out that the coins have transformed to mushroom people. One, calling himself Toad, explains that Bowser has transformed them to coins and thanks Mario and Luigi for rescuing them. They give Mario and Luigi a key item, a Super Mushroom, and let Mario, Luigi, and Kibidango continue on their way. Mario uses this Mushroom to help fend off enemies, such as Koopa Troopas and Bullet Bills along the way.
==Trivia==
*Due to his palette of colors and greed, Luigi looks more like Wario.
*Unlike his gaming counterpart, Luigi wears blue and yellow instead of the traditional green and blue.
