** Additionally, the [[Cowardly Lion]] traits and fear of ghosts first displayed in ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigis Mansion]]'' also stuck through later games, going a long way to distinguish his personality along with his physical characteristics. Later games (especially the ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'' series) would have quite a bit of fun with this.
** Many of Luigi's distinctive character traits came from Western sources like the ''[[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' and were eventually introduced into the games, in a rare example of Mario canon [[Ascended Fanon|embracing rather than contradicting fanon.]] Even the character's voice has gradually come to sound more like his cartoon counterpart.

** Minor note, but this can be fairly inconsistent. It's interesting to listen to the openings to battles in the ''Mario and Luigi'' games-- it's always "Here we go" and "Okie-dokie", but the tone of the latter (Luigi's line) changes over the three games, and goes from fairly-reluctant to... well, pretty confident.
