| '''Luigi''' ({{ja|ルイージ}}, ''Ruīji'') is a character in the [[Mario (universe)|Mario series]]. He is the younger brother of the more-famous [[Mario]], but is still a prominent character (and second only to his older brother) in the series of the same name. He has featured as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
| |
| | |
| Interestingly, Luigi is only one of two characters (alongside [[Jigglypuff]]) to appear in the first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' games as an [[unlockable character]]. However, he became a starter in [[Super Smash Bros. 4]]. The criteria to unlock him often has a relation to the number 2, in reference to his status relative to Mario.

| ==Character description==
| |
| [[File:Luigi Original.gif|thumb|left|Luigi, as he appears in ''Mario Kart 64'' which inspired his design for ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''.]]
| |
| Two years after his brother, Mario, made his first appearance in the Arcade classic ''Donkey Kong,'' Luigi would make his first appearance in ''{{h2|Mario (universe)|Mario Bros.}}'' for the arcade as the character the second player would control. His appearance is a palette swap of [[Mario]], the difference being he's colored with green instead of red. He was named after a pizza parlor which was near Nintendo of America's headquarters called "Mario & Luigi's".
| |
| | |
| 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 time 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 contrasted to his usual green color scheme. In ''{{s|mariowiki|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 ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', Luigi once again looked no different than Mario.
| |
| | |
| 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 ''{{s|mariowiki|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 ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'' after that, although he did appear in the [[mariowiki:Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS remake of Super Mario 64]] as a playable character along with [[Yoshi]] and [[Wario]].
| |
| | |
| However, he would soon make his first appearance in a fighting game in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and following that, garnered the spotlight in his own game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' which launched the [[GameCube]]. Since then, Nintendo has made a more conscious effort to include Luigi in more games, playable or otherwise, he starred alongside Mario in the [[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario and Luigi'' games]] for the {{s|nwiki|Game Boy Advance}} and {{s|nwiki|Nintendo DS}} and was a playable character in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Paper Mario}}'' (after appearing as a non-playable character in the first two [[mariowiki:Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' games]]). He has even been made into a playable character in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' after the game is beaten as Mario. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy 2}}'', he makes a playable appearance by temporarily replacing Mario for the duration of certain levels. Luigi had also appeared in the sequel to ''Luigi's Mansion'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}'' on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] as the main protagonist once again. Things have since been looking up for Luigi, and while he is less famous than Mario, he is a popular character among gamers.

| ===As a playable character===
| |
| {{Main|Luigi (SSB)}}
| |
| [[File:Luigi SSB.png|left|thumb|Official artwork of Luigi in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]Luigi's first appearance in a fighting game is the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' as one of the four secret playable characters. He can be unlocked after completing the Target Test with all of the original 8 playable characters. Luigi's abilities are [[Clone|almost identical]] to {{SSB|Mario}}'s, but with a few differences. His [[B]]-move is also a [[Fireball]] except colored green rather than red, and is not affected by gravity like Mario's, so it floats in the air. His [[up special]] is also an uppercut third jump called the [[Super Jump Punch]], but it does only 1% damage if the hit is indirect. If the hit is direct, it can do up to 25% damage. His [[Down B]] is called the [[Luigi Cyclone]] which is similar to the [[Mario Tornado]], but it sends the opponent flying away from Luigi almost straight up and is often used as a combo finisher. Luigi's taunt is also the only taunt that can damage opponents.
| |
| | |
| Luigi is ranked 10th/11th on the current [[tier list]] (tied with {{SSB|Link}}), mainly due to his floatiness and awkward physics.
| |
| | |
| Luigi's in-game character description reads:
| |
| :'''Luigi'''
| |
| :''Though often hidden in his older brother Mario's shadow, Luigi, is in reality, very popular. Taller than Mario, Luigi also jumps higher. Although he didn't appear in [[Super Mario 64]], in [[Mario Kart 64]] he performed to the best of his ability. For one who always seems to be in the background, he has many fans who eagerly await his appearance.''

| |
| Luigi returns in ''Melee'' as a secret character. He can be unlocked in the adventure game by finishing the first stage with the number "two" in the timer, which will cause Luigi to take {{SSBM|Mario}}'s place in the subsequent battle, or by playing 800 VS. matches. Finishing the first stage with the number "two" in the timer may be a reference to the fact that Luigi has always been considered second to Mario. Luigi's [[side special move]] gives him a unique ability, the [[Green Missile]]. Luigi charges up, and when this is finished, launches himself forward as though he were a missile (hence the title). This can be used as a recovery move along with his [[Super Jump Punch]]. He also has many all-new Normal Moves. Luigi is ranked 13th on the [[tier list]] in A tier, placing him in the very middle along with his brother Mario.
| |
| | |
| ===Trophies===
| |
| As a playable character, Luigi is featured on three trophies - his normal trophy, acquired by beating Classic mode with Luigi on any difficulty, and "Smash Red" and "Smash Blue" trophies won by beating Adventure and All-Star modes, respectively - as well as a fourth, styled after his appearance in the GameCube launch title [[supermariowiki:Luigi's Mansion|''Luigi's Mansion"]].
| |
| | |
| His normal and "Vacuum Luigi" trophies read as follows:
| |
| | |
| '''Luigi'''<br>
| |
| ''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.''
| |
| *''[[Mario (universe)#Mario Bros.|Mario Bros]]'', Arcade 1983 (NES)
| |
| | |
| '''Vacuum Luigi'''<br>
| |
| ''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 is once again an unlockable character and can be unlocked by playing twenty-two vs matches, completing [[Classic Mode]], or by getting Luigi to join the party in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]. The main difference between Luigi now and his ''Melee'' appearance is his Final Smash, the unorthodox [[Negative Zone]]. Luigi is ranked 28th on the [[tier list]] in E tier.
| |

| Luigi has a trophy that is awarded each time the [[Classic]] mode is completed with Luigi on any difficulty. See [[Negative Zone]] for the trophy description of Luigi's [[Final Smash]].

| |
| :''Mario's younger twin brother. He's shy and quiet and overshadowed by his sibling, but he's actually quite talented. His jumping ability surpasses Mario's, and his all-around skills let him overcome any problem. He's a bit cowardly and really afraid of ghosts. Even so, in Luigi's Mansion, he was charged with cleaning up a whole house full of spirits.''

| Luigi appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as a playable character. He is the second character after [[Captain Olimar]] to be confirmed to return after E3 2013. This is also the first installment of the series to announce Luigi as a playable character before the game's release, and he is now a [[Starter character|starter]] character for the first time.

| :'''Luigi'''
| |
| :''Luigi recently celebrated his 30th anniversary with the Year of Luigi, but all that attention just made him even more shy and awkward. In Smash Bros., Luigi takes a lot of cues from his brother in fighting style, adding flair to moves like Super Jump Punch. His taunts, however, are truly unique.''
| |
| | |
| :'''Luigi (All-Star)'''
| |
| :''Luigi may sulk when his down taunt is used, but his little dejected kick can actually hurt a nearby enemy fighter. It can even trigger a meteor smash! Notice an enemy leisurely hanging from the edge? Run over and pout on the edge—that foe will be the one with something to pout about!''

| == Trivia ==
| |
| *In both ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Luigi has absolutely no unique sound effects, sans the spring effect from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' used for one of his wins in ''Melee''. With the exception of the sound effect used for charging and firing his [[Green Missile]] (which comes from {{SSBM|Pikachu}}), and the "growing and shrinking" effect in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' (which Luigi actually never uses), all of Luigi's sound effects besides the one used for [[Luigi Cyclone]] are used by [[Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', but sped up. Luigi's voice clip for his down special is a direct copy of Mario's voice clip for the [[Mario Tornado]] in ''Super Smash Bros.'', from quality all the way down to the pitch. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gave Luigi his own unique voice clips and sound effects for the first time.
| |
| *Since Luigi is Mario's "second hand" brother, the way he's treated in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series acts in similar behavior. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the [[notice]] for unlocking Luigi described him as "the eternal understudy." In ''Melee'', one method that the player can use to unlock Luigi is by clearing the 1st level (Mushroom Kingdom) in [[Adventure Mode]] with the timer set to the number 2 in the seconds area. (XX:X'''2''':XX) In ''Brawl'', one of the ways to unlock Luigi is to play exactly 22 versus matches; additionally, Snake's [[Snake's Smash Taunt|codec conversation]] describes Luigi as the "King of Second Bananas" and his Final Smash, Negative Zone, was based on his title. Subsequently, Luigi is the second announced veteran after Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' following the initial E3 announcement.
| |
| *Luigi is the only character in ''[[Melee]]'' to appear as a playable character on the GameCube before Melee's release, appearing in ''Luigi's Mansion''.
| |
| *Luigi is the only character whose down taunt can trigger a powerful meteor smash.
