Personality
Luigi is the brother of Mario from the Super Mario Bros. Series. Making an appearance in almost every mario game and starring in two games, he has become a well known character and a lovable one at that. He never seems to like going on adventures without Mario therefore making him look a little like a side-kick and the fact that he isn't much of a leader doesn't help much either. In some games, usually in the Mario and Luigi RPG sereis, Luigi is simply refered to by enemies as "Mr. Lime Green", making him out to be somewhat forgetable by Bowser and his minions. He was originally supposed to be exactly like mario besides being green but as his popularity grew he got a personality and style of his own. He is normally depicted as cowardly, but when he does get the courage to step up, he can be tough and overcome his fears.
