Okey dokey!

–One of Luigi's signature phrases

Luigi is a resident of the Mushroom Kingdom, and the younger twin brother of Mario. He is one of the main protagonists of Super Mario Bros. Z, trying to stop Metallix from gaining all the Chaos Emeralds.

Biography

Appearance

Luigi looks very similar to his brother Mario, albeit with a slightly more tall and slim physique. He shares the same brown hair and black mustache as well, though Luigi's mustache is smooth and well-kept. His clothes even matches Mario's, being a pair of overall with a green long-sleeved shirt and cap.

Personality

Luigi is timid and somewhat cowardly, with him being particularly afraid of ghosts. He's often reluctant to join Mario on his adventures because of this. However, he will overcome his fears when the situation calls for it, such as when someone he cares for is in danger.

Additionally, he has a complex of being overlooked. While recognized as a hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, many struggle to remember his name. Most notably Bowser and members of the Koopa Troop. He's also shown to be clumsy, a trait that's often the source of slapstick comic relief.

History

Metallix Saga

1-59

At the Mushroom Kingdom Smash Tournament, Luigi helped Mario rise through the ranks and get to the final round against Wario. During the fight, Luigi supported Mario from outside of the arena. When Wario and Waluigi launched a powerful Gas Attack at Mario, Luigi threw an Invincibility Star at him in time for Mario to survive the explosion. Wario and Waluigi discovered his help, and Luigi laughed and taunted them. Wario began to charge at them with Waluigi as a baseball bat. Luigi jumped into the arena and gave Mario a hammer, pulling out another for himself. Before either side could attack, a Bulky Bob-omb fell out of the sky and exploded, knocking Luigi into the ground.

1-84

Bowser appeared in his Clown Car, revealing he was the one behind the explosion. He challenged the Mario Bros. to a fight. However, Luigi was too scared to do so and ran away. As Mario and Bowser began their battle, Mario landed near Luigi. Although Mario dodged Bowser's punch, Luigi was knocked unconscious for the majority of the brawl by it. During the fight, Bowser tried to hit him with a fireball while Mario was distracted, but Mario successfully deflected it.

1-120

Luigi came to his senses near the end of the brawl, where Mario was close to defeat by Metal Bowser and laying unconscious due to his attacks. To protect his brother, Luigi jumped in the way of Bowser's final move, refusing to get out of the way when the Koopa King gave him the opportunity to run away. As Bowser prepared his attack, Luigi and Mario were saved when a mysterious capsule appeared out of the sky and damaged Bowser's Metal power-up, returning him back to normal.

1-127

With Bowser distracted, Luigi was able to revive Mario with a 1-Up Mushroom, allowing him to defeat Bowser and launch the King out of the arena. While they celebrated their victory, Luigi noticed two hedgehogs who had appeared from the capsule. He cowered in fear while Mario confirmed his identity to the strangers.

2-17

Luigi and Mario later brought the hedgehogs to Peach's Castle, where they introduced themselves as Sonic and Shadow. Peach thanked them for their earlier help and allowed them to stay as long as necessary, which Sonic refused, stating that they didn't plan on doing so, but wanted a favor from them: help the duo in the search of the "Chaos Emeralds". Luigi and the others got intrigued by the name, but the hedgehogs explained that these jewels were originally from their dimension, and that they possesed an unfathomable power. The brothers began discussing the offer of help, and in the end agreed to help Sonic and Shadow.

2-55

While Mario and Sonic went to the western side of the Kingdom to try to find an Emerald, Luigi and Shadow did the opposite. However, Shadow rushed in, refusing Luigi's help. Luckily, Yoshi met the group, and so he and Luigi went together. After a while, Luigi had to flee a pipe due to the Naval Piranha also being there. His rush to escape made him trip on a rock and fly against a wall. As he recovered, Luigi noticed a bright light behind some bushes. Upon seeing what he found, his eyes sparkled: it was one of the Emeralds. However, as he grabbed it, another hand did the same.

2-84

Luigi looked up, only to see the hand belonged to Wario. Wario quickly used a Wario Waft on Luigi and stole the Emerald, but Luigi began pursuit. He followed Wario as he reached his car and barely managed to grab the bumper as it began moving. Waluigi, who was already in the car, noticed Luigi there and kicked him away, but Yoshi managed to save Luigi from falling behind. Luigi gave Yoshi a Dash Pepper, and they accelerated back to the Emerald. They found opposition as Waluigi began throwing Bob-ombs at them, but Luigi managed to reflect one using his Ultra Hammer, destroying the car. The pursuit continued until Wario and Waluigi were cornered at the edge of a cliff. They began a brawl among themselves, but it was interrupted when a pair of missiles hit the location, sending the thieves flying and Yoshi, with the Emerald, to the edge. Although Luigi rushed to try to grab Yoshi, it was too late, and he immediately went back to Mario to get help.

2-134

Luigi found Mario together with Sonic and Shadow, waiting for him. They had to calm Luigi down because of his nervousness regarding what happened. He explained to the group the events from him finding the Emerald to the missile attack. The mention of the missiles shocked the hedgehogs, and Shadow immediately went to where it happened, with Sonic following shortly after. Mario then gave himself and Luigi a Cape Feather each, and the pair flew to the same location.

2-181

When they found Yoshi, it was too late. A robot was attempting to kill him, but flew away with the Emerald once he noticed the heroes' presence. The brothers were shocked to see Yoshi's state and Luigi began to cry while discussion arose between the other team members. It was decided that they should take Yoshi someplace safe first. Luigi and Mario carried Yoshi in their back as they all flied back, with Luigi looking at Yoshi with concern.

Powers and Abilities

Luigi fights much like Mario does in battle, possessing a powerful jump, and is incredibly acrobatic and agile. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, Luigi is a fair fighter, but his true ability is shown whenever he is fighting alongside a partner. Otherwise, Luigi fights with powerful punches and kicks. Like Mario, Luigi wields an Ultra Hammer, with which he can break many tough objects and also reflect projectiles.

Transformations

Cape Luigi

2-136

When Luigi uses a Cape Feather, he gains a yellow cape that allows him to fly. His flight speed is very high, enough to follow Sonic and Shadow at running speed.

Super Star Luigi

Using the power of the Star Rod[1], the Star Spirits unlock Luigi's true power from within, allowing him to transform into Super Star Luigi. This form resembles a gold and white variation of Cape Luigi. His abilities are currently unknown, though it is implied to be powerful enough to fight against Metallix.

Relationships

Allies

Mario

Luigi frequently joins his older brother on his adventures. Though he's been shown to be somewhat envious of him, Luigi looks up to and admires Mario, seeing him as being much cooler than him. He's shared a loving bond with him since infancy, with a baby Mario seemingly being able to sense where he was after being separated. This closeness carried over into adulthood, with the pair constantly coming to one another's aid.

Waluigi

Luigi and Waluigi share a bitter rivalry with one another. Waluigi resents Luigi for being more well-liked and popular than he is, seeking to beat him and Mario to become liked and respected himself. Waluigi's crush on Princess Daisy, with whom Luigi has a strong relationship with may also be a source of animosity. While he dislikes Waluigi, Luigi prefers to ignore him and his antics for the most part.
