Baby Luigi

"Uh-oh, Baby Weegee time!"

- Baby Luigi

Baby Luigi is the infant form of Luigi. In the Yoshi series, Baby Luigi is kidnapped several times by Baby Bowser and Kamek. In these games, Baby Mario, along with Yoshi, have rescued Baby Luigi a few times. Besides the Yoshi series, Baby Luigi has appeared in several sports spin-off titles such as the Mario Kart series. Charles Martinet voiced Baby Luigi, just like his older self.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Baby Luigi appears with his twin during the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island when he and the Stork carrying him are captured by Kamek. After going through the many levels and bosses, Baby Mario and Yoshi rescue Baby Luigi. The Stork then successfully delivers the Baby Mario Bros. to their parents.

Yoshi Touch & Go
In the Nintendo DS game, Yoshi Touch & Go, Baby Luigi is kidnapped again by Kamek's Toadies, thus setting the stage for the game, as Yoshi must fling eggs at the Toadies to rescue him. Also, when players are playing the multiplayer mode, the second player's Yoshi is toting Baby Luigi.

Yoshi's Island DS
Bowser and Kamek kidnaps Baby Luigi, who is one of the kidnapped babies in Yoshi's Island DS. After Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Wario, Baby Donkey Kong, and Baby Bowser team up, they all proceed to save Baby Luigi. It turns out that Bowser is kidnapping all of the babies because he is searching for the seven Star Children. Baby Luigi hides at the time Bowser and Kamek are checking the babies for stars, and, as a result, never finds out that Baby Luigi is a star child himself. After defeating Bowser, Baby Luigi is rescued, and the babies find out they are Star Children. Later, it is revealed Baby Yoshi is the last child.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Baby Luigi makes his playable debut in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, his weight class being Light. His default partner is Baby Mario and his kart is the Rattle Buggy. Their special item is a Chain-Chomp, which can pull them forward at high speeds and knock over any rival who gets in the way. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also have a course in this game, which is Baby Park, and it is notable for being the shortest course in the game. It has 7 laps in Mario Kart Double Dash!! to compensate for the very short course. The course also returns in Mario Kart DS with only 5 laps, although the Baby Mario Bros. themselves are not playable.

Mario Kart Wii
Baby Luigi later returns to the Mario Kart series as an unlockable character in Mario Kart Wii as a short driver. Unlocking 8 Expert Staff Ghost Data in Time Trials, winning 100 WFC Ghost Races, or playing 3,150 races unlocks him. He's tied with Baby Daisy for having the best speed bonus in the game, which makes any vehicle have a slightly higher top speed. He also has the biggest bonus, along with Baby Mario, in the game, which is his weight bonus. It significantly increases the weight of his kart.

Mario Superstar Baseball
Along with Baby Mario, Baby Luigi appears in Mario Superstar Baseball as an unlockable speed character if the player completes story mode using Yoshi's team, which he happens to be in that team. He excels at stealing bases, fielding, and even wall jumping to catch a fly ball before it is a home-run. However, his batting and fielding stats are very low and he has average pitching.

Mario Super Sluggers
He appears in Mario Super Sluggers, where he is available from the start, unlike the preceding game. He has better fielding skills than in Mario Superstar Baseball and his special ability is Super Jump instead of Wall Jump. The player can recruit him in challenge mode by rescuing him in Mario's Stadium by turning switches to open up a bridge. Like all the other baby characters in the game, he could not speak and instead says incomprehensible words that only Lakitu can interpret.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Baby Luigi's involvement as starring role in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time starts when Baby Bowser decides to kidnap Baby Peach on the same day the Shroobs decide to invade the Mushroom Kingdom. While Baby Mario and Baby Luigi arrive to play with Baby Peach, Baby Mario battles and defeats Baby Bowser. Baby Luigi, during the battle, is busy trying to cheer Baby Peach up and therefore does not battle with Baby Mario. The Shroobs then invade the castle, and everyone is forced to flee into the Koopa Cruiser, where it plans to take the refugees into the safety of Baby Bowser's Castle. The Koopa Cruiser then heads to Hollijolli Village, partly because of Baby Peach's plead, to destroy the Shroob UFOs occupying there. The Baby Mario Bros. get sent to rescue the defeated Mario Bros. and they defeat the Shroobs that has done so. Princess Shroob, second in command of the Shroobs, shoots a missile at the Koopa Cruiser. The Koopa Cruiser takes a hit and crash lands in Baby Bowser's Castle.

Mario and Luigi have not been thrown clear of the crash, but they eventually find Baby Mario and Baby Luigi trapped in a high place. Baby Luigi seems to be reluctant to do down, but does so anyway because of Stuffwell's soft landing. After a brief tutorial by Stuffwell, the Baby Mario Bros. then teams up with the Mario Bros. out of the castle and into the time hole. Along the way, they find a mysterious sparkling shard. The group of four return to the castle, and E. Gadd identifies it as a Cobalt Star shard, the fuel source of the time machine. Another time hole appears and the four went into it to investigate it, only ending up in Toadwood Forest.

In Toadwood Forest, Toadiko appears to be trapped in the branches, with her energy being depleted by the Vim Factory. She turns into a Shroob Mushroom, and the group explore the forest in order to open up the door to the Vim Factory. Shortly after entering the Vim Factory, the L33t Hamm3r Broz. sucks Mario and Luigi away, leaving Baby Mario and Baby Luigi panicked. After the Baby Mario Bros. defeats the L33t Hamm3r Broz., the helmets break and the Hammer Bros. get reverted to normal. As a thanks, they give the Baby Mario Bros. hammers and teach them how to use it. Baby Luigi's hammer technique is the Baby Drill; he leaps on top of Baby Mario while they drill into the ground. This technique is used to acquire underground items and move underneath fences. After figuring out how to reach the trapped Mario Bros., the babies free them and they are once together again. They move along until they reach the end of the Vim Factory, which houses Swiggler. The four heroes defeat Swiggler and earn a Cobalt Star Shard. However, Baby Bowser barges in and attempts to steal the Cobalt Star Shard. He proceeds to spin for the purpose of making the Mario Bros. dizzy, which he succeeds in doing that to the adults, but the babies continue spinning. Even though they are not dizzy, they are immobile and this enables Baby Bowser to steal the Cobalt Star Shards.

The Bros. return to the castle, only to find out that Time Holes have been appearing excessively. After Mario and Luigi learn a new technique from the Toadsworths, they go into a library and enter Yoshi's Island via Time Hole. All of the Yoshis seem to disappear in this island and the Bros. meet Kylie Koopa in a hut. The babies find out that the Yoshis in the island are hiding from Yoob, who seems to have hatched from an eerie egg. It turns out that Yoob is eating the Yoshi inhabitants. The Bros. enter a hut, which leads to another part of the island. Luigi finds out that there are Yoshi Cookies lying there. He almost eats one himself, but Baby Luigi gives him a look that compels Luigi to give Baby Luigi the cookie. Baby Luigi happily accepts the cookie and says, "Thank you very much."

The four heroes venture through the island, even while Kamek makes fire barriers in the island. They find Baby Bowser and Kamek, with a stash of cookies and Baby Bowser eating them. Mario and Luigi confront Kamek and Baby Bowser, while Baby Mario and Baby Luigi get distracted and eat the entire cookie stash. Baby Bowser unleashes his cookie fury and calls Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, "snackaholics". Kamek promises that he will defeat them, but Kamek gets defeated himself. The Bros. then pursue Baby Bowser, who gets trapped in a dead end. The Bros. get shocked when Baby Bowser decides to eat them, while he is even proclaiming, "Tasty!". However, Yoob climbs up, gets zapped by a Shroob UFO to grow larger, and eats everyone he sees.

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi get upset and start crying once they land into the Yoob's intestines. While Luigi gets up, he finds that Mario is still unconscious. Luigi attempts to cheer them up, but fails to do so. Right when Luigi is about to lose his mind, he grabs Yoshi Cookies out of his pocket. This cheers Baby Mario and Baby Luigi up and therefore makes them stop crying. Mario then regains his consciousness and the Bros. travel through the Yoob's body. The Yoshis in there give aid to the Bros. by pushing Chomp Rocks in order to enlarge some parts of the Yoob's body. The Bros. find out that the Yoob has a factory inside of him which turns Yoshis into eggs. The Baby Mario Bros. shut down the factory, which shuts Yoob down and enables the Bros. to travel further. They meet Toadbert, who lost his memory and gives them his drawing. The Bros. then battle Sunnycide, defeat it, and exit Yoob through the rear end. Baby Bowser happens to cough up the Cobalt Star Shards, which provides the Bros. with the opportunity to swipe it. They manage to do so and they return to the present.

After the adult Mario Bros. learn how to use the Bros. Ball, which enables them to access another time hole, the heroes take the time hole and travel to Gritzy Desert. The Bros. try to get into the Koopaseum in the desert, only to be chased by a large army of Shroobs. While the Bros. hide behind a pillar, the baby Bros. wander away and Luigi tries to pursue them, only to find himself get pursued by a single Shroob. After this event and after Mario meets Kylie Koopa again, the Bros. separate and activate the Dry Bones heads in the desert. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi must also battle enemies in the path and activate switches for the adult Mario Bros. to also access the remote parts of the desert. After activating the statues, the colosseum opens and the Bros. can get in.

Inside the colosseum, a celebration is held, honoring the conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. What compels the Bros. to proceed further is the attempt of feeing Peach to Petey Piranha, which the Mario Bros. panics. They try interfering, only to end up onstage. Princess Shroob orders Shrooboid Brat to attack the Bros., only to find itself defeated by them. Princess Shroob then orders the Shroobs to zap the ground beneath the Mario Bros., which makes them collapse into Gritzy Caves. In the caves, the adult Bros. are knocked unconscious. Baby Mario attempts to wake Luigi up by screaming and makes a last attempt by smacking Luigi with his hammer while Baby Luigi hesitantly steps back. Luigi regains his consciousness and gets infuriated at the babies, who cry because of the threat. Mario wakes up to find out Luigi has caused trouble and confronts Luigi. Luigi, intimidated by Mario, also starts crying. After a while, the Bros. proceed to travel through the caverns, battling enemies and solving puzzles, until they find Kylie Koopa tied. A Shroob cuts the rope, and Kylie Koopa gets eaten by Petey Piranha, who promptly escapes.

A few rooms later, Petey Piranha appears. The Mario Bros. attempt to hide behind pillars and try to sneak, only to find out that Luigi has accidentally left Baby Luigi behind. Petey Piranha locates Baby Luigi and drastically intimidates him, causing Baby Luigi to scream. The Bros. rescue Baby Luigi and attack Petey Piranha. They eventually defeat Petey Piranha, who spits up a Cobalt Star Shard and Kylie Koopa. The Bros. rescue Princess Peach, who seems all right, only that a Shroob Mushroom is growing out of her face. They take her back to the castle, where she takes a nap.

The two Toadsworths teach the Mario Bros. another move, this time altering the Baby Mario Bros. One move is spinning the babies high in the air, and the other is Baby Cakes where the adult Bros. flattens the baby Bros. into wafer-thin form. Shortly after the Bros. learn the techniques, Bowser makes an attempt to steal Peach. While escaping, Bowser breaks the floor and falls into the time hole into the room below him. The Bros. pursue him and end up in Thwomp Volcano. After climbing to the top, they meet the younger E. Gadd and Mrs. Thwomp, who battles them but gets defeated. After the Bros defeats Mrs. Thwomp, her husband takes the Bros. into the volcano, where the Bros. solve many puzzles. They eventually meet up with Bowser, who also teams up with Baby Bowser. They defeat Bowser and Baby Bowser after a fight, and they leave Peach behind. The Shroob Mothership then comes and abducts Peach while the Bros. follow her. The Bros. navigate through the Shroob Mothership until they are met by a seemingly-traitorous Shroob that knocks away the other Shroobs and Princess Shroob, who is actually disguised as Peach. It turns out that it is actually Kylie Koopa and she uses a key that makes her and the Bros. fall out of the ship.

The Bros. end up in a destroyed Toad Town. They find a Warp Pipe that leads to Star Hill. After navigating through the Star Hill, Commander Shroob attacks them, but ends up being defeated. The Bros. go into the Star Shrine to find a Cobalt Star Shard. The spirit of the star appears and begins to speak, while Baby Luigi knows that something amiss is in that star, and whatever it is, he starts crying because of the presumed threat in the star. The others do not know why he cries, but they calm him down anyway. They pass on into the gate, which claims that Luigi does not have a pure heart. After being tested and proven that Luigi indeed has a pure heart, the gate knows that Luigi has a pure heart the entire time and the whole process is simply a test. In the shrine, the Bros. eventually pass through and find the fourth Cobalt Star Shard. The Elder Shrooboid attacks them, turns Kylie Koopa and Toadbert into Shroob Mushrooms, and gets defeated by the Bros.

The Bros. return to the castle and are told to go to the Shroob Castle in the past. After exploring the castle, defeating enemies, solving puzzles, and destroying the Shroob Mothership, the Bros. inspect the crashed spaceship. The hatch opens and Baby Mario and Baby Luigi get frightened by it. Baby Luigi tries to make Luigi the first one to inspect it by pushing him, but Luigi happens to be frightened too, so he goes behind Baby Luigi. After this event, Luigi gestures Mario to go inspect it. Mario goes to investigate, when a sudden voice surprises both of them. Princess Shroob is the voice and she then attacks the Bros. The Bros. defeat Princess Shroob and Peach shows the last Cobalt Star Shard to them. She does not give it to them for a reason she is about to explain, when Baby Bowser barges in and merges all the Star Shards together and this creates the Elder Princess Shroob. Peach then describes how she traps the Elder Princess Shroob into the Cobalt Star, and this also happens to be the perceived threat that Baby Luigi has acquired earlier, in the Star Shrine.

Although mighty and powerful, the Elder Princess Shroob eventually gets defeated by the Bros. She turns into a Mushroom, which Baby Luigi walks up to and takes it as a souvenir. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also get uninterested by the conversation Peach as with Mario and Baby Luigi starts playing on the Mushroom that used to be Baby Bowser. Baby Mario also decides it is fun and steps on Baby Luigi. Baby Luigi, after feeling pain from Baby Mario, starts crying and restores Baby Bowser. After the gang realize it, the camera humorosly circles on the crying Baby Luigi, then makes the screen turn black. E. Gadd then develops an invention that has similar chemical properties as tears and sprays it in the past, annihilating Shroob presence.

The Toads then inform the Bros. on the unconscious Bowser, who they then meet. The purple mushroom, Baby Luigi's souvenir, then flies out of Baby Luigi's grasp and flings itself into Bowser's mouth, which Bowser eats. Bowser, as Shrowser, regains energy and fights the Bros., who cannot fight back. However, they exploit his attacks and use it against him, which he ultimately gets defeated from, and thus obliterates the Elder Princess Shroob. After this fight, the Time Machine gets fixed. Baby Mario gives his hammer to Mario and happily leaves him. Baby Luigi, however, does not want to leave and actually wants to adventure more, until Luigi bribes him with the last Yoshi Cookie. Luigi also tries reminding Baby Luigi to give Baby Luigi's hammer, but Baby Luigi flings it and hits Luigi, which Baby Luigi gets delighted from. They then travel back to their own time period after a farewell.

In battle, Baby Luigi battles identically to Baby Mario. Baby Luigi does not fight at the very beginning of the game, but is able to later on. He usually teams up with Luigi, but sometimes ventures with only Baby Mario. His default ability is jumping on foes, which he cannot do on spiked enemies. He, along with Baby Mario, later acquires hammers to damage spike foes and be able to venture further in the game. For all attacks, Baby Luigi must time the attack for the most damage. If not, he either does a different pose after a jump, make the hammer head fall of the stick, or trip and fall on his face when using the hammer if the button is pressed too early. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also acquire newer overworld abilities in the game, such as the baby spin which allows them to reach hard to reach areas that Mario and Luigi can't, even with the Spin Jump and the Baby Cakes, which enables them to slip underneath cracks and float on winds due to compressed weight. Baby Luigi can also use Bros. Items, but he needs a partner to do so. If his partner faints (which must be Baby Mario), he carries Baby Mario when enemies are attacking and hinders his dodging abilities. If he faints, Baby Mario or Mario carries him and his fainted body also hinders dodging capabilities. Statwise, Baby Luigi differs to Baby Mario in most ways. He has less speed and less attack, but more HP and defense. He, however, has more speed than Luigi and less defense, attack, and stache than his adult counterpart, Luigi.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Though Baby Luigi himself does not appear in this game, Mario explains to Starlow how Luigi saved the day by crying after battling the frozen Shroobs.

Cameos
Both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi can be seen in the crowd in the opening of Mario Power Tennis. They can only be seen in the first match where Mario and Luigi beat Wario and Waluigi.

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also make a cameo appearance in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, along with several notable characters. Here, they can be seen in Yoshi Park 1 as a picture on an overhang.

Baby Mario's trophy information in Super Smash Bros. Melee briefly mentions how the stork, carrying him and Baby Luigi, gets ambushed in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Baby Luigi makes a relatively small cameo as a minuscule sticker. Here, he is featured with Luigi in the Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork.

Physical Description
Baby Luigi is very similar to Baby Mario. Both have black, beady eyes and a large, trademark nose. He also has a thin layer of brown hair always covered by his trademark "L" hat. The only major difference between Baby Mario and Baby Luigi is that Baby Mario wears a red shirt and red hat, while Baby Luigi wears a green shirt and green hat. Also, Baby Luigi's sneakers are green instead of light blue like Baby Mario's.

Personality
Baby Luigi, like his older self, is described as being meek and cowardly. For the most part he is very friendly too, as he gets along great with the other babies. His timid nature is also evidenced in the Mario Kart Wii official guide, which states that he used to ride with Baby Daisy until her bold and boisterous personality scared him. Games such as Mario Kart Double Dash!! and Mario Superstar Baseball also described him as a shy person, stating that his appearance in Mario Kart Double Dash!! is the first time he appeared in front of a crowd. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Baby Luigi seemed to be the only one who knew that restoring the Cobalt Star shards would restore the Elder Princess Shroob because he cried at the cobalt star. Baby Luigi also has a love of Bubbles and Milk (which he calls Milkies). Although Baby Luigi is an extreme crybaby, as seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, he seems to actually be less cowardly than his older self.

Baby Mario
Baby Mario is Baby Luigi's older twin brother and best friend. Baby Mario, with the help of Yoshi, has saved Baby Luigi a total of three times, once in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, once in Yoshi Touch & Go, and once in Yoshi's Island DS. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the brothers team up in the beginning of the game to rescue Baby Peach from Baby Bowser. The two have good chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers. Baby Mario was also Baby Luigi's default partner in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and the two go with each other to Mario and Luigi's tennis match in Mario Power Tennis.

Baby Daisy


Baby Luigi's interactions with Baby Daisy mirror the interactions of their adult counterparts. In Mario Kart Wii, there is a statue of the two holding hands and dancing together on the Daisy Circuit course. The official guide for Mario Kart Wii also states that Baby Daisy used to ride with Baby Luigi until he got frightened of her. The two also share chemistry with each other in Mario Super Sluggers.

Yoshi
In all of the instances that Baby Luigi has been kidnapped, Yoshi has been helping the other babies rescue him from the beginning of each game. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, all of the Yoshies of Yoshi's Island decide to help Baby Mario rescue his brother from the clutches of Kamek. In Yoshi Touch & Go, Yoshi and Baby Mario proceed to rescue Baby Luigi in every level. Finally, in Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi teams up with Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario and Baby Bowser to rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek and Bowser.

Other
Baby Luigi seems to get along well with other babies. Examples of this are that he shares good chemistry with Baby Peach and Baby Donkey Kong in Mario Super Sluggers. Another example is that Baby Wario, and briefly Baby Bowser, teams up with the other babies to rescue him in Yoshi's Island DS.
