Luigi (????, Ru?ji?) is a video game character created by Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. He is portrayed as the taller, younger brother of Nintendo's official mascot Mario. Like his brother, Luigi has appeared in many games throughout the Mario series and it is safe to assume almost every gamer is familiar with him. Although Luigi was originally created as a character identical to Mario except for being colored green instead of red, he has since developed a personality and style of his own. His voice is performed by Charles Martinet, the same actor who provides the voice for Mario, as well as other characters throughout the franchise. |
