What's the name of Mario's brother?

Luigi, Luigi is Mario's twin brother. It was originally designed for the role of 2P Action.

There are two theories about the origin of naming. One is that there is a company called Mario &; Luigi' s pizza shop, so I had a brainwave and named it Luigi; On the other hand, because its characteristics are similar to Mario's, and the similar Japanese is "るぃじ", Luigi with similar pronunciation is chosen as the name.

The history of Luigi's image change;

Unlike Mario, Luigi's image has changed suddenly. Luigi's lanky appearance doesn't actually come from Mario's game. In order to cheat a wave of money while the iron is hot in the United States, Nintendo changed the Japanese version of the game DreamWorks into Super Mario Bros. 2 (commonly known as Pulling Radish), which was publicly sold in North America.

Because Luigi's corresponding skin-changing role is a thin, tall and jumping person, Luigi after skin-changing seems to have been stretched unevenly and become what he is now. The feeling of jumping higher but more difficult to control is also preserved.
