[[File:Lmdmoffart5.jpg|thumb|150px|Luigi has a cowardly personality, but can be brave when prompted.]] | |||
Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward. His cowardly attitude was first shown in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]''. He also worries and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary. On the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' website, it describes Luigi as "Mario's fearless brother". In keeping with his personality-based Power Flower, a sign in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' describes Luigi as "wispy." | Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward.

Many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi may have been the second born twin. In ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Luvbi]] refers to Mario and Luigi as twins at the end of chapter 7-1. However, Luigi directly refers to Mario as "big bro" in the same game on more than one occasion. Also, while Luigi's Trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' also referred to him as "younger twin brother", Colonel Roy Campbell calls Luigi a "kid brother" to Snake during Snake's Codec conversation in the same game. In the Mario cartoon series, Luigi referred to Mario as his "little big brother". Mario is stated to be 26 years old in the Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', what could mean that this is Luigi's age as well. | Many video game sources still refer to Luigi as the younger brother, indicating that Luigi may have been the second born twin.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', it is stated that Luigi has been to two Star Festivals, which are held every Century, meaning Luigi is a least one hundred years old. | ||

[[File:Mario And Luigi - Siblings Day.jpg|thumb|123px|Luigi has a loving relationship towards his brother, if not occasionally competing against him.]] | |||
Luigi often accompanies his older twin brother Mario on his adventures, most prominently in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. While there is some sibling rivalry between the two<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>, with Luigi sometimes feeling jealous and overshadowed by his brother, he also admires and looks up to him, wishing to be "a great plumber like his brother Mario" in ''Super Mario RPG''. The two share a loving brotherly bond so strong that as babies, Baby Mario could sense where his brother was after they were separated by the Koopas. This closeness continues into adulthood, with the brothers frequently coming to each other's aid and rescue. While Mario is generally the more heroic and active of the two, Luigi has saved him on a few occasions, starting with ''Mario is Missing!'' and subsequently in ''Luigi's Mansion'', and its sequel, ''Dark Moon'', wherein Mario calls Luigi "number one" upon his rescue. | Luigi often accompanies his older twin brother Mario on his adventures, most prominently in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series.
