* AppealToInherentNature: While she has noble qualities and comes to care about Mario, she bluntly tells Mario [[TheUnapologetic he'll have no luck getting remorse from her]] for terrorizing Tubba Blubba and kidnapping Skolar, as such mischief is what her kind do.

* AdaptationalDumbass: While Luigi is a CowardlyLion in the main games, he makes up for it by being extremely clever, able to expertly navigate hostile areas and solve puzzles using his wits alone. Here, Luigi's cowardice is heavily downplayed and largely replaced by a sense of recklessness that leads to him getting into trouble.

* AdaptationalDumbass: While Luigi is a CowardlyLion in the main games, he makes up for it by being extremely clever, able to expertly navigate hostile areas and solve puzzles using his wits alone. Here, Luigi's cowardice is heavily downplayed and largely replaced by a sense of recklessness that leads to him getting into trouble. And when looking for the key to Princess Peach's Castle in ''Origami King'', he keeps finding the wrong key, forgetting that he left it in his kart the whole time.


Added DiffLines:

* OutofFocus: Outside of his major role in ''Super Paper Mario'', where he is important to the plot and is playable, though only late into the game and not permanently, Luigi role in the other games in the series is generally minor, if not inconsequential, especially for a main character, and even when he does help Mario, he doesn't do much.
** In the original N64 game, Luigi is with Mario when they go to Peach's Castle, but after that, he stays at home, writing his diary and feeling jealous that he can't go on adventures with his brother but his new friends can, and does nothing more than leading the parade in the end credits.
** In ''The Thousand-Year Door'', Luigi has a minor role outside of the intro. He can help Mario in the audience, but outside of that, he has a subplot where he goes on a solo adventure parallel to Mario's, though it happens off-screen.
** In ''Sticker Star'', Luigi is reduced to nothing more than a cameo, appearing hidden in five levels where Mario has to pull him out by paperizing him. Finding him in all the five spots only makes him lead the parade.
** In ''Color Splash'', he is hidden in six spots across the world like its predecessor. He does have a more important role in the endgame where he leads Mario to Bowser's castle, but that's pretty much it.
** Luigi's role is slightly larger in ''Origami King'', where he needs to be saved by Mario several times while searching the key to Princess Peach's Castle, and after that, he will give him the key that he needs to proceed. However, while he does have a few section where he accompanies Mario, he doesn't get to do much, and he is not even among the partners who can attack in battle.
