Luigi made an appearance in the 1986 film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!]]'' in which he was voiced by [[Yū Mizushima]]. He was not given his consistent color scheme, sporting a yellow shirt with a blue hat, and overalls. In the film, Luigi is a greedy character and even leaves Mario at one point to look for coins. He was also a little more serious, but less courageous than his brother Mario, who constantly daydreamed about Princess Peach.<ref name=":02">{{cite news |last1=Plunkett |first1=Luke |date=April 19, 2012 |title=There was a Good Super Mario Bros.

He appears at the end of the video to save Mario and Peach from the Wicked Queen, portrayed by [[Bowser|Koopa]].

Luigi regularly appeared in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', airing from 1989 to 1990, which cast [[Danny Wells]] as both his live-action portrayal and voice. Like his brother, Luigi's voice actor changed in later cartoons, in his case to [[Tony Rosato]]. Even though he was not the starring character in the show, Luigi appeared in all 91 episodes of the three [[DiC]] [[List of non-video game media featuring Mario#Television|''Mario'' television animated series]], in one of which his brother himself did not appear ("Life's Ruff" from ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'').
