Luigi



Luigi is the brother of Nintendo's mascot Mario, both hailing from the Mario series. While Luigi sometimes accompanies his brother, he is also often left behind or kidnapped along with Princess Peach Toadstool and Toad, causing Mario to have to save him as well.

Luigi is one of only two characters to have appeared in all three Super Smash Bros. games to date and be unlockable in all three, the other being Jigglypuff.

Super Smash Bros.
Luigi makes his first appearance in the series as an unlockable character. He is a clone of Mario.

His profile reads: "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."

Works:
 * Mario Bros. (NES)
 * Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
 * Mario Kart 64 (N64)

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Luigi returns, again unlockable, but with some changes to seperate him from Mario.

His trophies read:

Luigi (Classic) - "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 Bros. Arcade 1983

Luigi (Adventure) - "Luigi has worse traction than his brother, but he's a more powerful jumper. His Fireballs aren't affected by gravity, so they fly straight horizontally. The Green Missile is similar to Pikachu's Skull Bash, but there's a 12.5% chance of a spontaneous misfire. Luigi's taunting pose inflicts minor damage."


 * B: Fireball
 * Smash B: Green Missile

Luigi (All-Star) - "Smack someone with Luigi's Super Jump Punch, and if the timing is just right, it will become a Fire Jump Punch of incredible strength. However, Luigi can only jump straight up when delivering this blow, and if his aim is a bit off, he'll only do a single point of damage. The Luigi Cyclone sucks foes in and twirls them about."
 * Up & B: Super Jump Punch
 * Down & B: Luigi Cyclone

Vacuum Luigi - "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's Mansion 11/01

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Luigi appears for the third time in Brawl, again as an unlockable character.

His trophy reads: "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."
