Also, 8-bit Luigis can occasionally be seen briefly in the regular game modes.
  • Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam: Although a post-Year of Luigi game, Starlow mentions the year by name at one point.
• Stuck in Their Shadow: Luigi has been "stuck in the shadow" of Mario since Luigi's debut, but one of the points of this campaign was to defy this.
