[[Luigi]] is Mario's younger twin brother. Luigi often joins Mario on his adventures, and the two of them are normally paired together in sports titles and spinoffs. They share a strong brotherly bond ever since they were babies, and Mario has always shown protective instincts towards Luigi, as in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], he can sense his brother's location and leads the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s to rescue him. Even after they became adults, they still live together and remain very close, stopping at nothing to help each other and save each other when one of them is in trouble, as seen in games such as ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. In the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, if Luigi faints in battle, Mario yells in concern and carries him on his shoulders while defending himself or when running away (this also happens with Luigi if Mario is the one who gets KO'd), and the brothers often hug each other when they reunite after being separated in the story. Mario also is shown to be proud of his little brother when he faces his fears for him, such as when he fights [[King Boo]] on three different occasions to rescue him, and when he is saved in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', he is very happy that Luigi came to free him, and congratulates him before jumping in his arms and giving him a big hug. It is stated in the 1993 official Nintendo Character Manual that Mario, when he retires, plans to give his plumbing business to Luigi (while also implying a distinct age contrast, which conflicts with the idea that they are twins).<ref name="1993 Nintendo Character Manual">Green, Matthew.

While they love each other, in ''Paper Mario'', Luigi admits that he also feels jealousy towards his brother at times and has also expressed that he is "tired of being Player 2," for despite being a hero in his own right, he is often overshadowed by Mario. While Mario states that Luigi's quote of being Player 2 is taken out of context, adding that "Luigi loves being [his] sidekick" in the ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' press conference, in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', he is quick to give Luigi proper credit for defeating the [[Shroob]]s in the previous game. At times, Mario does exhibit a competitive sibling attitude toward Luigi, such as when he intentionally steps and squirms on Luigi's foot when Luigi receives a trophy in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', which makes him uneasy and embarrassed. Despite this and his tendency not to receive the same credit as his brother, Luigi has always admired him and shown a strong loyalty to him that pushes him to face his fears if he needs his help. ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' also shows his subconscious, known as [[Dream's Deep]], where he has nothing but positive feelings and thoughts about Mario. Several artworks also show them posing together, with a few more and an animated sticker showing them giving each other a high-five.
