As any younger sibling who grew up mastering Mario platformers can attest, Luigi has long been gaming’s quintessential Player 2. Donning his signature green cap, Nintendo’s oft-overlooked brother has spent decades stepping just behind his more famous twin—Mario. Yet, when given the spotlight, Luigi proves he’s more than just a sidekick. His breakout moments in the Luigi’s Mansion series have shown that he’s not only brave enough to face ghosts head-on but also more than capable of carrying a franchise on his own.
With the upcoming launch of the Switch 2, we’re taking a moment to celebrate Luigi’s legacy and all the times he’s stepped out of Mario’s shadow. Here’s a complete look at every game on the Nintendo Switch where you can play as everyone’s favorite underdog.
**How Many Luigi Games Are on Switch?** -----------------------------------There are 17 games on the Switch that feature Luigi as a playable character. He takes center stage in two titles—Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3—and shares co-lead status in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, where the duo’s dynamic shines like never before.
