Luigi would then once again be featured in the world-famous ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the NES, which saw the two brothers traveling through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] for the first to rescue [[Princess Peach]] (then called "Princess Toadstool") from the evil Koopa King, [[Bowser]]. Here Luigi was clad in a green shirt, white overalls and white hat compared to his usual green color scheme. In ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (both the U.S. and Japanese versions) he would be established as actually having a superior jumping ability to Mario, but having worse traction. However, the U.S. Version did establish that Luigi was both taller and thinner than his older brother. In ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Luigi once again looked no different than Mario. | Luigi would then once again be featured in the world-famous ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the NES, which saw the two brothers traveling through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] for the first to rescue [[Princess Peach]] (then called "Princess Toadstool") from the evil Koopa King, [[Bowser]].

Over the years, while Mario appeared in more and more games, Luigi started taking a back seat to his older brother, even being left out of some games entirely. While he appeared as the solo playable character in ''[[supermariowiki:Mario is Missing|Mario is Missing]]'', this was not a "true" Mario title. The most notable of these was Luigi's complete absence in the world-famous ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' which garnered some controversy. He also did not appear in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' after that. | Over the years, while Mario appeared in more and more games, Luigi started taking a back seat to his older brother, even being left out of some games entirely.

He has even been made into a playable character in ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' after the game is beaten as Mario. In ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Galaxy 2|Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', he makes a playable appearance by temporarily replacing Mario for the duration of certain levels.
