[[Luigi]] is Mario's younger twin brother. Luigi often joins Mario on his adventures, and the two of them are normally paired together in sports titles and spin-offs. They have a strong brotherly bond ever since they were babies, and they stop at nothing to save each other when one is in trouble, as seen in games such as ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, if Luigi faints in battle, Mario yells in concern and carries him on his shoulders while defending himself or when running away (this also happens with Luigi if Mario is the one who gets KO'd) and the brothers often hug each other when they reunite after being separated in the story. Mario also is shown to be proud of his little brother when he faces his fears for him, such as when he faces [[King Boo]] to rescue him, and when he is saved in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', he is very happy that Luigi came to free him, and congratulates him before jumping in his arms and hugging him. It is stated in the 1993 official Nintendo Character Manual that Mario, when he retires, plans to give his plumbing business to Luigi (while also implying a distinct age contrast, which conflicts with the idea that they are twins).<ref name="1993 Nintendo Character Manual">Green, Matthew.
