Rabbid Luigi

Rabbid Luigi is a Rabbid dressed as Luigi, who first appears as one of the eight main heroes in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. He is described as capable of using elemental forces to his advantage in battle, although he is also described as easily scared and preferring to avoid conflict. In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Rabbid Luigi teams up with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Yoshi to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Rabbid-fused enemies and Bowser Jr.'s attempted takeover.

In the game, he has average offense and mobility, as well as great defense. Rabbid Luigi's primary weapon is the Bworb, a yo-yo with several elemental abilities (such as fire, stone, and vampire) but low weapon damage (unless it is boosted with Mario's M-power). Rabbid Luigi's secondary weapon is the Rocket, a long-range RPG-7-esque weapon that fires missiles.

Rabbid Luigi has a unique dash known as the "Vamp Dash", which deals a certain amount of damage (maximum 160), and heals a percentage of the damage (maximum 100%). It also heals other nearby teammates, regardless of whether or not they have a weapon that has a high chance of inflicting the Vamp status effect. Rabbid Luigi's first special ability is Super Barrier, which can protect him from Super Effects. Like Rabbid Mario's Bodyguard ability, it can be used with Peach's Protection ability to reduce the damage taken greatly. Rabbid Luigi's second special ability is Weaken, which decreases the damage dealt by nearby enemies by a certain percentage (maximum 70%). This, too, can be used in tandem with the Protection ability to reduce afflicted damage from enemies.

Rabbid Luigi is first seen in the beginning after he and Rabbid Peach team up with Mario to save the Mushroom Kingdom. He also has a 3D model in his likeness. Rabbid Luigi briefly appears in the intro of the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC side story alongside Mario and Luigi.

Rabbid Luigi reappears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. In this game, he wears an outfit that resembles Luigi's clothes instead of his green vest. He now wields the Discrupter, a weapon that can hit multiple enemies in a row. His technique is Exhaust, which weakens enemy attacks similar to his Weaken ability in the first game. He is also now voiced by Bruce Sherfield.

Personality
Similar to his fellow Rabbids, Rabbid Luigi is playful, mischievous, and curious. However he shares common traits with Luigi, such as being easily frightened, clumsy, and preferring to avoid conflict. Rabbid Luigi also seems to be friendlier and more polite than his fellow Rabbids, waving at Peach, and being courteous. However he still shares his species' love of committing chaos. He also takes note of his human companions' reactions to anything his fellow Rabbids would find amusing. For instance, when he laughed at Rabbid Peach knocking over the block tower, he stopped when he saw Mario was not laughing. He also stopped clapping when he saw Mario and Luigi were shocked over the Time Washing Machine's disappearance along with Rabbid Peach and Beep-0. Despite his concerns for his companions' reactions, he still laughs at Mario during the Phantom's song, not seeing how easily offended and angered he is.

Memory bio
''An analysis of Rabbid Luigi's earlier adventures versus the Megabug reveal that he has matured much since then, yet he clearly maintains a childlike role within the group. However, his relationship with the other Heroes is as complementary as his naiveté is a welcome breath of fresh air. Does he make me smile as well? I have not the anatomical capacity, but the emotion? Yes, and I believe he does.''
