Luigi: Difference between revisions

===''Super Mario'' series===

====''Mario Bros.====

Luigi's first playable appearance was in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', where he is simply a palette swap of Mario with the same controls and abilities. There are no other differences in physical appearance.

====''Super Mario Bros.''====

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', after Mario and Luigi fought the monsters of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', they returned to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] where they were told by the [[Mushroom King]] that the evil king [[Bowser]] had kidnapped [[Princess Toadstool]] and her [[Mushroom Retainer]]s.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Luigi was one of four characters in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' that found himself in a very strange world called [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]] that was under attack. The culprits were [[Wart|King Wart]] and his large army of dream creatures. The next morning, the four friends decided to go on a picnic, and happened to stumble upon the strange world they had dreamed of. They found that everything they had been told was true; it ''was'' under the rule of the evil Wart. Luigi and his three friends confronted [[Wart]] and his forces, defeating them one by one. The four heroes traveled to Wart's lair and battled him by choking him with [[Vegetables]]. Wart finally fell and the four heroes were able to release the Subcons. At the end of the game, it was revealed that the events of the game was just Mario's dream.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====

Bowser now traveled with a massive [[Airship]] and his [[Koopalings|children]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. He transformed all of the kings in the world into odd creatures and then proceeded to make his children kings of all the different lands.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====

Although Luigi did not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he did appear in its remake: ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Luigi, along with Mario and Wario, entered [[Princess Peach's Castle]] after she invited them. Bowser and his Koopa Troop shortly then took over the castle and captured each of the plumbers. Luigi was locked behind a door, and the key to the said door was guarded by [[King Boo]]. Eventually, [[Yoshi]], who was sleeping on the castle roof and therefore didn't get captured by Bowser's troop, managed to rescue Mario, who then managed to find King Boo's hideout and defeat the Boo's leader in battle, allowing him to get the key needed to free Luigi. While only Luigi can get several stars, several Luigi [[Cap]]s ''can'' be found on a few courses. The Luigi caps allowed the bearer to mimic Luigi's appearance and abilities perfectly, excluding his voice. Every level in the game would have a Luigi Cap appear once Luigi was rescued. Luigi was also the only character who could save [[Wario]] from [[Chief Chilly]]'s grasp, as it was needed to walk through a mirror using the invisibility flower to get to Wario's painting.  

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====

Once again, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Princess Peach was kidnapped and had to be saved by Mario. This time, she had been kidnapped by [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser's son. Mario went to save the princess with a little help from Luigi. Mario and Luigi traveled to the many areas of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], fighting the many [[enemies]] that [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] put in their way. At the castle in [[World 8]], Mario and Luigi ended up fighting [[Dry Bowser]] (an undead version of Bowser). After being tricked into believing that they had finally defeated [[Bowser]], Bowser Jr. stole [[Peach]] and the Mario Bros. had to follow him to [[Bowser's Castle]] where they finally confronted, a now revived [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]]. Again, the Mario Bros. defeated Bowser and his son and rescued Peach once again. Luigi was a secret character in this game and his role was the same as Mario's. Luigi also appeared in this game's multiplayer where he battles Mario for [[Stars]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

Luigi appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. When Bowser abducted Peach's Castle, Luigi and the [[Toad Brigade]] were apparently inside. However, they all escaped and got lost in space. Luigi was kidnapped by the monster [[Bouldergeist]]{{refneeded}} and imprisoned in the Ghostly Galaxy. Mario must come and rescue him, after which he will help Mario in a handful of missions, including collecting stars (although, he gets lost every time and must be rescued). After collecting three stars, Luigi left the rest up to Mario.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====

Luigi appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as a playable character. He is controlled the same way as in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' but isn't unlockable. The player can freely switch between Mario and Luigi after defeating Bowser in his final battle.

===''Wrecking Crew''===

Luigi was once again the second player in ''[[Wrecking Crew]]''.  Luigi's sprite was still a palette swap of Mario's, but this time Luigi was dressed in purple.  In this game, Mario and Luigi worked on a demolition site. The goal was to break down every stone wall on each stage.  Defeating enemies in this game was not easy, as Mario and Luigi's regular hammer dealt them no damage.  However, it could make [[Foreman Spike]] fall down if one of the Mario Bros. could hit him with it. If an enemy wanders underneath a drum, Mario or Luigi could trap them by causing the drum to fall.

===''Mario is Missing''===

In ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Mario was kidnapped by Bowser, and it was up to Luigi to find him. During his quest, Luigi learned about geography, battled Bowser's seven children, and got help from [[Yoshi]] while traveling across [[Earth|the real world]] to find Mario. In the end, he saved Mario.  Then, the Mario Bros. loaded Bowser into a cannon and fired him into the snow.  Bowser froze instantly and split in half.  However, this ending only applied to the SNES version of the game. This game marked Luigi's solo-adventure debut and was the only solo adventure for Luigi until 2001.

===''Hotel Mario''===

Luigi is one of the main characters in the game ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. Princess Peach was retained as a "permanent guest" by Bowser, who turned the Mushroom Kingdom into his own personal resorts. Eventually, Luigi and Mario destroyed each of the seven Koopaling Hotels. They then defeated Bowser at his own palace and rescued the princess. Luigi was controlled by the 2nd player, his sprite being a palette swap of Mario. This was Luigi's only run on the Phillips CD/I.
