Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)

Luigi first graced the Switch as a playable character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. He's a middleweight racer with a balanced stat distribution that leans slightly toward speed and handling. His iconic appearance in an ad for the original Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 famously gave rise to the Luigi Death Stare meme.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (2017)

Luigi next appeared in the Nintendo-Ubisoft collaboration, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. This tactical RPG allows players to control both Luigi and Rabbid Luigi, a Rabbid who emulates his human counterpart in both appearance and behavior.

Luigi joined the court as one of 16 playable characters in Mario Tennis Aces. Known for his balanced abilities in Mario sports games, Luigi's specialty shot, Pipe Cannon, propels him into the air for a powerful spike.

Super Mario Party (2018)

Luigi is one of 20 playable characters in Super Mario Party. As the younger of the Mario Bros., he's been a staple in every Mario Party game, including the two others listed here. 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.

In Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, like the original Wii U version, you can play the entire game as Luigi. He controls similarly to Mario but with a slightly higher jump and less traction, giving him a more 'floaty' and 'slippery' feel.

Mario Golf: Super Rush (2021)
