The Luigi video game series is a franchise of survival horror, platform games and puzzle games that is a spin-off of the Mario franchise published and produced by Nintendo. The series revolves around Luigi, Mario's brother. Luigi games have been released for Nintendo video game consoles and handhelds dating from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the current generation of video game consoles. Two of the original Nintendo Entertainment System Mario games have been ported to Wii U and altered to feature Luigi as the protagonist.

Luigi was first introduced in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros., where he and Mario battle pests on a single screen. The first game to star Luigi was the 1992 game Mario is Missing. The first game to use the Luigi branding is the 2001 game Luigi's Mansion, which introduces the haunted theme that is used in many of Luigi's following appearances.

Mini-games

Nintendo Land for Wii U features an attraction called "Luigi's Ghost Mansion". It is inspired by Luigi's Mansion and based on the 2003 game Pac-Man Vs. "Luigi's Ghost Mansion" involves up to four players dressed like Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi, who assume the roles of "ghost trackers" and explore a haunted house to hunt for the fifth player, who is the ghost.[4]

Included in NES Remix 2 is "Super Luigi Bros.", which is a Luigi-themed and mirrored version of Super Mario Bros. It features Luigi's higher jumping ability, which had not been originally introduced until the 1986 Japanese sequel Super Mario Bros. 2.

An unlockable Luigi-themed version of Mario Bros. titled "Luigi Bros." was also included with Super Mario 3D World.
