Luigi: Difference between revisions

The unlikely trio eventually engaged the [[Dark Star]] in their final battle with the Dark Star itself already having used Bowser's DNA to turn into [[Dark Bowser]]. Bowser had to reduce Dark Bowser's HP to 0 so that the [[Dark Star Core|Dark Fawful Bug]] could fully revive him and make him bigger. Bowser then had to punch Dark Bowser's belly to have him spit out the Dark Fawful Bug and return to normal size. After that, Bowser inhaled the Dark Fawful Bug (while Dark Bowser tried to do the same) and (unknowingly) let the Mario Bros. fight it. In a battle similar to the one they had with [[Cackletta|Fawful's former mistress]], they had to defeat the Dark Fawful Bug's body parts before being able to reach the Dark Star Core. Once they destroyed the Dark Fawful Bug, Dark Bowser became unstable. Then Bowser charged his punches to deliver the final blows on Dark Bowser until he exploded, freeing the kingdom forever from an age of darkness. The Mario Bros. then met up with a beaten Dark Fawful Bug. They were surprised to see that he survived. However, without a body or the Dark Star to sustain him, he didn't have much time left. With one last psychotic smile, Fawful explodes, hoping to destroy the Marios with it, however it instead released everyone from Bowser's body. Everyone then cheered on Mario and Luigi for saving the kingdom, but the celebration was cut short as Bowser was angry when he saw that Mario and Luigi were in his body, and engages the Marios and Starlow in what was to be another epic battle. As the credits rolled, the battle was shown.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===

===''Super Princess Peach''===

In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Bowser's minions, using the power of the [[Vibe Scepter]], kidnapped Mario. They also kidnapped Luigi and Toad because they got in the way. Peach went on a quest to rescue them.  

===''Mario Strikers'' series===

====''Super Mario Strikers''====

Luigi was a team captain in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' (also known as ''Mario Smash Football'' in the PAL regions). He was a Balanced player and his [[Super Ability]] was [[Super Luigi!]]. Luigi's number in ''Super Mario Strikers'' is 2, probably referring to his being Mario's "second brother". In the game, his Super Strike was the [[Super Strike#Luigi - Vicious Vortex|Vicious Vortex]].

===Princess Daisy===

{{Main|Princess Daisy}}

Daisy's only appearance between ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Mario Tennis'' was in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. In Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64), when choosing Luigi in the doubles tournament mode, his default partner will be Daisy.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BURvO5rlxyg&fmt=18</ref> Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions. In ''Mario Golf Toadstool Tour'', they're seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Their team names from the Mario Party series include: "Steady Sweeties", "Tango Tanglers", and "Shy Sidekicks". Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in ''Mario Power Tennis'', wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweety! I'll take that", while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players", and they share good chemistry. Most recently, in ''Mario Kart Wii'', there is a giant, golden statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of [[Baby Luigi]] and [[Baby Daisy]]. Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', where Daisy's trophy biography states, ''"After her appearance in ''Mario Golf'', some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach"''. It was stated in the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Luigi has quite the crush on Daisy, and that it's rumored there's an attraction between them. Luigi and Daisy also appear together commonly in the [[Miracle Book]] pages from ''Mario Party 6'' (most often in a situation where something bad happens to Luigi, but Daisy is left unharmed).

===Mario===

{{Main|Mario}}

'''Mario''' is Luigi's older twin brother. Luigi often joins Mario in missions to save Peach, but Mario tends to go on adventures without him. Despite their lifelong sibling rivalry<ref>The ''Super Mario Kart'' manual (page 21) states that "Mario and Luigi have had a friendly rivalry that goes back to their childhood."</ref> and Luigi's jealousy toward Mario, Mario and Luigi have always maintained a unique "brotherly love" for each other which is further proven when Luigi rescues his brother in ''[[Mario Is Missing!]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', and its [[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|sequel]]. In ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', Mario calls Luigi "number one" when he saved him.  

===Bowser===

{{Main|Bowser}}

'''Bowser''' is Luigi's first enemy. Luigi and Bowser have almost always been enemies, but Bowser's main conflict is with Mario, which is further shown in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. It may be worthy of note that, in ''Super Paper Mario'', Luigi was seemingly unaware of Bowser's almost clichéd past attempts, stalling to realize that Bowser was the sort of person who would kidnap Princess Peach, and even then not remembering Bowser's name until he actually encountered the Koopa King. Similarly, Bowser does not recognize Luigi when they meet in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', although he does remember who he is in ''Super Paper Mario''. Worth noting is that Bowser seems to recognize Luigi as being almost as great a threat as Mario, and remembers his name in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Luigi has always been one of the three main heroes Bowser hates with a passion, with Mario and Yoshi being the other two.

===King Boo===

{{Main|King Boo}}

Luigi first met '''King Boo''' in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] launch title ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' where King Boo had tricked Luigi into thinking he had won a mansion in a contest. Luigi soon found out that it was a trap to kidnap Mario, and later himself. Luigi manages to rescue Mario from the painting in the Mansion and trap King Boo himself inside a painting. After these events, Luigi and King Boo have since been bitter arch-enemies. Through out the ''Mario'' series this has been shown in various ways. One example is that in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' King Boo is the one who kidnaps Luigi and locks him away. Another example of the rivalry they share is seen in the ''Mario Baseball'' series; as seen so far in all of the games, they both have bad chemistry at each other. King Boo also plays the role of the main antagonist in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' further showing his rivalry with Luigi. However despite this rivalry between the two, King Boo is able to act civil to Luigi when Luigi confronts him at the end of both ''Luigi's Mansion'' and ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''.

===Rosalina===

{{Main|Rosalina}}

'''Rosalina''' met Luigi in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Luigi helped her by aiding Mario in retrieving the Power Stars. In [[Battlerock Galaxy]], he tells Mario that he'll only give him the [[Green Power Star|Green Star]] if he tells Rosalina that he found it for her. Upon collecting all 121 stars with both Mario and Luigi, [[Mailtoad]] sends a picture when the player talks to him in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]]. Luigi's picture shows him, Rosalina, and the Toad Brigade with Peach's Castle in the background, while Mario's picture is of Mario, Peach, and three Lumas on the first planet of Good Egg Galaxy.

===Toad===

{{Main|Toad}}

'''Toad''' directly adventured with the brothers in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Besides giving Luigi tips and the occasional pick-me-up, Toad doesn't spend nearly as much time with Luigi as he does with Mario. The various Toads' opinions of Luigi in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' greatly differ from one another, with one denying that he could have retrieved so many Power Stars and another referring to Luigi as "The world's most inept and least charismatic brother," while another refers to himself as Luigi's biggest fan and another states that "We'll have to call you the Luigi Brothers soon!". Toad also acted as Luigi's major ally in ''Luigi's Mansion'', giving special items (such as [[key]]s) and allowing the player to save their game. He will also be a major help to Luigi in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' as he will be helping Luigi solve puzzles throughout the various mansions. In the Mario cartoons, Toad appears as both a helper and a close friend of Mario and Luigi. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Toad makes a few mentions of wanting to see Luigi again (if the player is playing as Mario). Toad has been on good terms with Luigi for a very long time.

===Waluigi===

{{Main|Waluigi}}

'''Waluigi''' seems to nurture an especially hostile grudge against Luigi due to unknown reasons. In ''Mario Tennis'', it is revealed that the two have shared some sort of rivalry, also Luigi makes a gesture at Waluigi which Waluigi reacted negatively to. It is stated in the ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Luigi has a crush on Daisy and so does Waluigi. This might be a reason that the two share rivalry. In all, they have bad chemistry in all the games they appear in together. Their relationship is similar to Mario and Wario's. But sometimes they get along as shown at the end of the opening of ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.
