Luigi's Mansion 3 (2019)
Luigi's first starring role on the Switch came with Luigi's Mansion 3, the third installment in his solo ghostbusting series. In this game, Luigi and his green gooey clone team up with Professor E. Gadd to tackle ghosts and rescue his friends from King Boo's haunted hotel.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (2024)
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a remastered version of the 2013 Nintendo 3DS game, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. In this sequel, Luigi navigates the haunted mansions of Evershade Valley to capture King Boo and save his brother, Mario.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)
While not solely a 'Luigi game,' Mario & Luigi: Brothership gives equal prominence to both brothers. This marks the first new entry in the Mario & Luigi series since Paper Jam in 2014, featuring the brothers solving puzzles and navigating platforming challenges to restore the kingdom of Concordia.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the first Switch game to feature Luigi as a playable character. He is a middleweight racer with a balanced stat distribution that slightly favors speed and handling. His iconic appearance in an ad for the original Wii U version sparked the Luigi Death Stare meme.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (2017)
Luigi appeared next in the Nintendo-Ubisoft collaboration, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. This tactical RPG includes both Luigi and Rabbid Luigi, a Rabbid who mimics his human counterpart, as potential party members.
Mario Tennis Aces (2018)
Luigi steps onto the court as one of the 16 playable launch characters in Mario Tennis Aces. As a balanced "all-around" character, Luigi's specialty shot, Pipe Cannon, launches him into the air for a powerful spike.
Super Mario Party (2018)
Luigi is one of the 20 playable characters in Super Mario Party. He has been a staple in the Mario Party series, appearing in every game alongside Mario. This was the first Mario Party game on the Switch and ranks as Nintendo's ninth best-selling game on the platform, according to the company.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018)
Luigi is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, one of the 12 characters playable in all five Smash games. According to LumiRank's 2025 tier list, which aggregated opinions from 93 ranked Smash players, Luigi is an A+-tier fighter and ranks 18th overall.
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (2019)
Luigi is a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, an enhanced version of the Wii U game that includes the New Super Luigi U expansion. In this expansion, Luigi takes center stage with his higher jump, remixed levels, and a 100-second timer per level.
Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)
In Super Mario Maker 2, Luigi joins Mario, Toad, and Toadette as one of the four playable characters. This level-building platformer lets players create their own Mario levels using assets from various Mario games.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (2021)
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury can be played entirely as Luigi, similar to the original Wii U release. Luigi's controls are akin to Mario's but with a slightly higher jump and less traction, resulting in a more 'floaty' and 'slippery' gameplay experience.
Mario Golf: Super Rush (2021)
Luigi joins the lineup in Mario Golf: Super Rush as one of 22 playable characters, boasting excellent speed and decent control. His special shot, Ice Flower Freeze, freezes the ground upon impact, creating a hazard for opponents in the new Speed Golf mode.
Mario Party Superstars (2021)
Luigi returns in Mario Party Superstars, the second Mario Party game on the Switch. Unlike Super Mario Party, Superstars is a collection of classic minigames, boards, and mechanics from the series' history.
Mario Strikers: Battle League Football (2022)
Luigi is one of the 16 playable characters in Mario Strikers: Battle League Football, the latest Mario soccer/football game. As a well-balanced player, he excels in technique, which affects dribbling, shot curving, and shooting accuracy.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (2022)
Luigi, along with Rabbid Luigi, returns in the sequel, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Labeled a Sneak Attacker, Luigi's gameplay revolves around his ranged weaponry despite his low health.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the latest 2D Mario platformer, Luigi serves as a playable alternative to Mario. Although the brothers play identically, their aesthetic differences offer a fresh take on the classic gameplay.
Super Mario Party Jamboree (2024)
Luigi is playable in Super Mario Party Jamboree, the most expansive and arguably the best game in Nintendo's flagship party series. He also features in the new Buddy mechanic, which can change a player's dice roll to a 10.
