If you're a fan of Mario platformers, chances are you already know Luigi—a staple of gaming’s Player 2 experience. The green-clad brother of Mario has spent years lurking in his older twin’s shadow, only occasionally breaking free for a star turn in his own Luigi’s Mansion series. As we look ahead to the upcoming Switch 2, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate Luigi and all his appearances on Nintendo’s current console.
There are 17 games on Switch that allow you to play as Luigi. While he’s the main character in only two of these (Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD), he shares the spotlight in others like Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Let’s dive into the full list.
