Character Description[]
Luigi is Mario's younger, taller, twin brother who has appeared alongside him in countless of his games. He first appeared in 1983's Arcade game Mario Bros. and since then, he has also starred in some of them. Luigi is portrayed as timid and a bit of a coward. He also worries and is considerably self-conscious. However, he overcomes his fears and acts like a hero when necessary. Whereas Mario rarely speaks, Luigi is shown to be quite a conversationist. Luigi's abilities are usually exactly the same as Mario's, such as in Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario World.
Attributes[]
Luigi is a surprisingly strong middleweight with very quick attack speed, yet slow mobility. Luigi is not considered a clone of Mario due to his different fighting style and mechanics. Luigi's Standard projectile, the Fireball, is not affected by gravity and it travels a shorter distance. Luigi has a chargable move, unlike Mario, which allows Luigi to recover horizontally easier. His Up Special Move also works differently from Mario's. If it is sweetspoted, it can inflict a lot of damage. Luigi's Smash Attacks and tilts are very quick and more powerful than his brother's. His aerial attacks are one of the quickest in the game. Luigi's main drawback is his slipperyness, which causes him difficulties in grabbing and throwing.
