Although Luigi first appeared in ''[[Mario Bros.]],'' in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game)|Donkey Kong]]'' we see two Marios. Some fans suggest that the second Mario is Luigi.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Luigi could be played when you selected the 2-player mode. The second player controlled Luigi. He had all the same abilities as Mario, and he looked exactly the same except he wore white and green.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', however, the characters were once again the same size and had the same abilities. And once again, Luigi could only be played with the 2nd controller. The same thing happened in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' for the SNES.

However, in ''[[SMW2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Luigi is not playable at all. [[Baby Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] go through the whole game and rescue [[Baby Luigi]] at the end. The two Mario Bros. are brought to [[Mr. and Mrs. Mario]] by the [[Stork]]. The final screenshot is Mr. and Mrs. Mario holding their sons. Even though this would seem to prove that Luigi and Mario are twins, all other games say that [[Mario]] is the older brother.

Luigi never appeared throughout ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', except for in the ending credits. However, a star on [[Star Hill]] says ''I wish I could be a great plumber like my brother Mario''. Clearly, it's Luigi who made this wish.

==Luigi's voice==
==Luigi's voice==
Unlike Mario, whose voice has remained basically the same since its debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Luigi's voice has fluctuated between high and low-pitched varieties throughout games. When his voice was first introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', its was considerably lower in pitch than Mario's, however, in ''[[Mario Party]]'', he possessed a much higher pitched voice which was similar to Mario's. He retained this higher voice in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and also had a high voice in ''[[Super Smash Bros]].'' In ''[[Mario Golf]]'', ''[[Mario Tennis]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', however, his voice returned to a lower state. Since then, with the exceptions of ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', games have consistantly given Luigi a low-pitched voice.
