Mario Bros

Luigi is a fictional character featured in the Mario video game franchise, created by Nintendo. He is Mario's slightly younger fraternal twin brother.

Often depicted as the taller and thinner of the two, Luigi is identifiable by his green cap, green shirt, and blue overalls. He is usually portrayed as Mario's sidekick, though he has starred in his own spin-off series, such as the Luigi's Mansion games.

Luigi is characterized as somewhat cowardly and easily frightened, especially compared to his brave and determined brother. Despite his timidity, Luigi often demonstrates hidden bravery and skill when the situation demands it, showing he is a capable hero in his own right.

He first appeared as a playable character in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros. Since then, he has become a mainstay in the Mario universe, appearing in numerous mainline games, spin-offs, and other media adaptations.
