Luigi

"Yay for me, Luigi!"

Luigi is a playable premium character in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion 2 and member of the Mushroom Kingdom Coalition. His home world is the Mushroom Kingdom. Like his brother, Mario, he is playable from the start. He is a character in the shop and it costs 500 blue coins to unlock him.

History
Luigi first appeared in the original Mario Bros. arcade game as a simple palette swap of Mario. This trend continued for some time throughout the NES and SNES series.

When the Gamecube came out, Luigi developed into his own person with Luigi's Mansion. In this game, he showed his fear of ghosts and general lack of bravery compared to Mario. Since then, he has remained a distinct and unique character in his own right.

Gameplay
Luigi's special jump is the flutter jump. By pressing up + jump, Luigi is granted more airtime and impeccable control in the air, allowing him to make precise landings and to negotiate long overhangs.

Luigi's fireballs travel as they did in Super Smash Bros. series: green-colored and unaffected by gravity (flying straight ahead). Also, Luigi can angle the fireballs downward by crouching then firing, but they do not bounce along the ground like Mario's can. They are slower and shorter ranged than Mario's as well.

Luigi is very similar to Mario in terms of control, but with some differences. He has a better jump with more hang time, but poor inertia, making him slide when coming to a sudden stop while running. He is harder to control on the ground, but better in some situations, such as areas with lots of jumping. He also shares Mario's advantage of having more power-ups to choose from than the other characters.
