Luigi is a heroic, kind and sensitive character. Luigi aspires to be like his brother Mario and become the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. The attention Luigi received from the Year of Luigi made him awkward and shy.[2]

He tends to chicken out of situations that are beyond his capabilities. In the *Mario and Luigi* series, Luigi backed away from boss battles, but Mario reassured Luigi to fight with him. In *Luigi's Mansion* series, Luigi feared ghosts but adjusted his liking for ghosts and has a pet, Polterpup.

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 Adventure Tours mode in the Nintendo DS version of the game, Luigi appears as one of the unlockable characters who can take part in the mode's sports competitions. He can be found in Frostown, where the player must beat beat him in a Cross-Country event. After that, Luigi will join the player's team. When later arriving in Sparkleton, Luigi helps Sonic and Sonic look for a key. However, a Boo scares Luigi away, causing Luigi to run into a tree. Fortunately, this led to the discovery of the key the heroes were searching for, which falls out of the tree Luigi hit. However, it gets stolen by the Boo. Luigi gives chase to the Boo and initiates the "Get the key!" mini-game. If Luigi gets the key in less than forty seconds, the Boo runs away to report what happened to King Boo. When the player later clears the ice walls at Polastraits, King Boo will appear, angry over that the Boo told him that Luigi upset them in Sparkleton. Luigi subsequently challenges King Boo to an Alpine Skiing GS event, which the former wins, prompting King Boo to run away.

Mario and Luigi heard about Bowser summoning dark magic into the Mushroom World. Bowser transformed Toads into inanimate objects. Princess Peach can undo the spell, but Bowser kidnapped her. Luigi defeated Bowser and rescued Peach, who assigned him a new quest.[2]

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 that's not always the case such as in the Mario & Luigi series, while he also wears 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 smooth 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.

In the Anime *Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach*, Luigi wore blue overalls, with a yellow shirt, and a blue hat with a yellow letter 'L' on it.

Luigi appears as a playable character in the *Super Smash Bros.* games, where he is unlockable in every entry except for *Super Smash Bros. 4 for 3DS and Wii U*.

In The Subspace Emissary, which is the adventure mode of *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*, he is seen transformed into a trophy by King Dedede. He later gets a badge pinned to his nose when in trophy form by Dedede, which transforms him back to his normal self, and he, along with Ness and Dedede, go on and save the other fighters turned into trophies by Tabuu.

In World of Light, the single-player story mode of *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, he, along with every fighter save for Kirby, is killed and turned into a Spirit fighter by Galeem, and thus must be found on the map and defeated to be unlocked.
