According to [[The InterNed]], Mr. L's theme song is titled "Mr. L, Green Thunder". He is a major antagonist and eventually becomes the game's final boss, [[Super Dimentio]] by fusing with [[Dimentio]] and the [[Chaos Heart]]. Before turning evil, Luigi tries to stop Count Bleck from using the [[Chaos Heart]]; however, after being trapped in [[Castle Bleck]], Luigi gets brainwashed by [[Nastasia]], ultimately turning him into Mr. L. | ||

It is implied several times that [[Luigi]] is the "man in green", referenced in both the [[Light Prognosticus]] and the [[Dark Prognosticus]]. Both of these two books state that this man in green and his affiliations will determine which prophecy is true. As such, it can be taken that, if Luigi were to have stayed Mr. L throughout the course of the game, the Dark Prognosticus would have been fulfilled and all worlds would be destroyed, making the end of Luigi's hypnotizing and evil ways integral to ''Super Paper Mario''. [[Dimentio]] additionally states that the Dark Prognosticus mentions Luigi as the ideal host for the [[Chaos Heart]]. | It is implied several times that [[Luigi]] is the "man in green", referenced in both the [[Light Prognosticus]] and the [[Dark Prognosticus]].

Though Luigi's fate is not explicitly seen, he is shown to be tackled by the troopers and is seemingly about to be hypnotized by Nastasia (foreshadowing Mr. L) just as the scene is cut. | ||

[[File:Mr. L Trophy - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.png|150px|left|thumb|Mr. L's trophy model in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']] | |||
In '' | In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Mr. L appears only in the form of a few collectible items. However, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he is mentioned only once, in Paper Luigi's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], as '''Mister L'''. The sentence states that Luigi only has a rumored "close relationship" to Mr. L and misattributes Luigi's brainwashing to Count Bleck. However, this could have been intentionally done to not spoil the ending, as Mr. L is not revealed to be Luigi until the end of the game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Mr. L received his own trophy that can be unlocked by playing solo [[smashwiki:Cruel mode|Cruel Smash]] as Luigi and surviving for a whole minute. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Mr. L is an Attack-type Advanced-class primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with great power at the expense of granting the user weakness to water-type attacks. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the Mr. L spirit is found in the [[zeldawiki:Lost Woods|Lost Woods]] portion of the [[smashwiki:Sacred Land|Sacred Land]] sub-map in the [[smashwiki:Dark Realm|Dark Realm]]. In the spirit battle, the player faces Luigi (in his [[Waluigi]]-based palette) on the [[Luigi's Mansion (stage)|Luigi's Mansion]] stage, which is fog-covered unless a fog immunity support spirit is equipped. | ||

He also wears a green bandana around his neck. His cap has a black background and reversed "L" instead of the normal white background and normal "L". Over his face is a black mask which seems to effectively hide his identity; this mask makes his eyes and eyebrows appear white. His gloves and shoes are dark gray. Mr. L, unlike standard Luigi, is shown to have a belt. | ||
It may also be worthy of note that official artwork depicts Mr. L's mustache as black whereas Luigi's ''Super Paper Mario'' artwork gives him a brown mustache. In game, however, both forms' mustaches are brown. | It may also be worthy of note that official artwork depicts Mr. L's mustache as black whereas Luigi's ''Super Paper Mario'' artwork gives him a brown mustache.

Mr. L is very cocky and is always praising up himself, a stark contrast to the chicken-hearted, reluctantly brave Luigi. He thinks highly of himself and is not slow to reveal it, often trying to openly annoy other in-game characters. He has a sophomoric belief in his often-boasted-of abilities, as he is very shocked at his failures as their series begins. He is very daring, and as such reveals an attraction to [[Princess Peach]] and jealousy of Mario's jumping ability. His loyalty to Count Bleck, while very deep (with him greatly longing to impress the count), is never explained, and he seems to care little about the expenses worlds would pay had Bleck's plans realized, something that seems to be the result of Nastasia's brainwashing. | Mr. L is very cocky and is always praising up himself, a stark contrast to the chicken-hearted, reluctantly brave Luigi.

Mr. L has two catchphrases: "L-ater," which he continuously proclaims when exiting [[Castle Bleck]], and "Have at you!", his battle cry. He has become well-known for his introduction (actually done only once in the game, not counting a shortened version featured in his new-minion orientation), in which he is given a repeated, blurring closeup as he spins around and strikes a pose, shouting "MR. L!" as rotating green rays are emitted from his body. He also has a knack for nicknaming, referring to Mario as "Mr. Jumpsallthetime," Peach as "Ms. Alwaysgetskidnapped," or Bowser as "Mr. Getsfoiledallthetimebytheredguywiththemoustache" during their first confrontation; this may imply that he still retains some of his memory from | Mr. L has two catchphrases: "L-ater," which he continuously proclaims when exiting [[Castle Bleck]], and "Have at you!", his battle cry.

He also nicknames himself "the Green Thunder". | ||
