In addition to actual gameplay differences, Luigi often executes his moves differently than his brother. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', Luigi jumps with his legs back and descends with them forward, kneels when sliding, and appears to spit fireballs rather than throwing them. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' give Luigi green fireballs, and in the former games his fireballs levitate. Perhaps most famously, Luigi's jumping animation in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is merely his walking animation sped up; although Luigi's "kicking" jumps were momentarily ignored, they returned in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]], complete with a high-pitched warbling sound effect in ''Super Mario Advance 2'' and ''4''. Luigi's aforementioned scuttle from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' also involves walking in mid-air, and the Eternal Understudy "kicks" during his Triple Jump in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. | In addition to actual gameplay differences, Luigi often executes his moves differently than his brother.

Luigi has also exhibited many unique traits in various sports and spin-off games, despite usually being a balance character like his brother. In games such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Luigi has a higher top speed than Mario, but has lower handling and acceleration.

In games such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Luigi has a higher top speed than Mario, but has lower handling and acceleration. In the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], Luigi hits with less power than his brother but features better control, although his shots consistently curve left. Luigi is slightly faster than Mario in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', and reveals his special pitch and swing (the [[Tornado Ball]] and [[Tornado Swing]], respectively) in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. | ||
Despite his skills, Luigi is also somewhat clumsy. For example, in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', he accidentally bumps one of his partners, [[Blooey]] the [[Blooper]], into a volcano while trying to stop evil, burning him to a golden crisp but not killing him. Usually, though, he is very agile and can do many stunts Mario can not, and in fact appears to be the best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom and he is shown to be a good breakdancer in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' whenever he gets a gold medal he breakdances like Sonic, and in the events Sychronized Swimming, Figure Skating, and Rhythmic Ribbon, he is shown to be flexible and a good gymnast because of his long legs. | Despite his skills, Luigi is also somewhat clumsy.
