Luigi returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as an unlockable character. Unlike in ''SSB'', Luigi's overalls are now blue, which makes his design more in line with his appearance as of ''Mario Kart 64''. Luigi can be unlocked in [[Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode]] by finishing the first stage with the number 2 in the timer; in addition to causing him to take {{SSBM|Mario}}'s place in the subsequent battle, it may also be a reference to Luigi originally being the player 2 analog to his brother.<ref name=SourceMelee/> Luigi can also be unlocked by playing 800 [[Versus Mode]] matches.<ref name=SourceMelee/>

Due to Luigi's neutral attack's third hit, up tilt, down tilt, forward smash, and forward aerial being completely overhauled both aesthetically and mechanically, he has effectively been de-cloned into a semi-clone of [[Mario (SSBM)|his older brother]].<ref name=SourceMelee/> Like his fellow [[veteran]]s, Luigi now has a [[side special move]]; in his case, it is [[Green Missile]]. Green Missile propels Luigi forward and can be [[charge]]d. 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 smash]]ing edge-hanging opponents, although it is extremely situational to use in such a manner.<ref name=SourceMelee/>

Due to Luigi's moveset and mobility being improved by direct changes and especially because of ''Melee''{{'}}s game physics (most notably [[wavedashing]] and [[chain grab]]bing), he is ranked 13th out of 26 on the current tier list. This places him in the D tier and directly in the middle of the list.

Although Luigi received a new up tilt that is aesthetically and mechanically similar to Mario's, the combination of his Poltergust G-00, new dashing animation, and new forward tilt have collectively de-[[clone]]d him into a pseudo-clone a la {{SSBU|Lucas}} and {{SSBU|Wolf}} after previously being a semi-clone from ''Melee'' to ''SSB4''.
