At times, Luigi is usually in his brother's shadow due to his some-what cowardly personality. While Luigi was originally created as a character identical to Mario except for being colored green instead of red, his rise in prominence throughout the Mario series lead to the adoption of a personality and style of his own. His voice is performed by Charles Martinet, the same actor who provides the voice for Mario, Wario, and Waluigi as well as other characters throughout the Mario franchise.
