Question
After completing Super Mario Galaxy with Mario, you gain the option to play through it again as his brother, Luigi. I've noticed some slight differences between the 2 plumbers, and have been wondering lately if I've got the whole story. What I've noticed so far is:
- Luigi slides on his heels, as opposed to coming to an abrupt stop when the analog stick is released.
- When doing a spin attack underwater, some of Luigi's air is drained per each spin, where Mario's is not.
- Luigi gets 20 1-Ups from Princess Peach's letters, where Mario gets fewer.
Are there any more variations in gameplay between the 2 brothers? I'm looking for a complete list of variances.
Answer
Alright, I've done some further digging, and these are the differences I've found:
--Uses Air when spinning underwater
--Has less traction, so he slides and skids
--Jumps farther and higher; runs faster
--(perhaps related to the above) knocked back slightly farther when hit, which equates to a longer post-hit stun
--The cosmic Luigi challenge runs take advantage of Luigi's physics, which may mean separate routes than cosmic Mario
--In addition to the above, some galaxies have slightly altered levels, such as the "Luigi meets Luigi" star in Toytime Galaxy, which changes from the 8-bit Mario planet to the backside, which features an 8-bit Luigi (with the change in colors coming from a change in the platform "pixels")
-- Mario gets 1-ups from Princess Peach's letters, but Luigi gets 20 1-ups instead (It still says "Dear Mario" Poor guy can't catch a break)
