Luigi is Mario's brother. He began as a simple palette swap of Mario, but was later differentiated. In his later forays, he provides comic relief.
Overview
A handful of games have starred Luigi, despite his reluctance to go adventuring. The rather infamous edutainment title Mario is Missing! was not developed by Nintendo’s core team, and so was somewhat lost in the familiarity of the Mario universe. In fact, the GameCube title Luigi’s Mansion described itself as Luigi's first starring role, and was much better received, allowing the taller brother to finally shine. The irony that both of these titles involve rescuing Mario seems not to be lost on the game’s creators. Other escapades by the little green man are told rather than played- the second iteration of Paper Mario involved a humorous side story running parallel to Mario’s own adventure.
As a core character in Nintendo’s franchise, Luigi makes regular appearances in Mario’s spin off titles, such as Mario Party and Super Smash Bros..
Several games seem to imply that Luigi is romantically linked to Princess Daisy, if for no other reason than to give a counterpart to Mario's feelings for Peach.
In the minigames in New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64 DS, Luigi is a card dealer and you can play games such as Luigi-jack (actually blackjack with a different name).
In Super Mario Galaxy, you can unlock Luigi by getting all 120 stars with Mario and then beating Bowser again.
If you think his voice is cool, take it from Charles Martinet as the voice actor for him and his brother Mario.
