Luigi can also be seen in his own solo adventure for the 3DS, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, which was recently part of a 3DS bundle for Black Friday, along with the Super Luigi Bros. U for the Wii U, a spin-off of Super Mario Bros. U.
Mario's taller brother will also guest star in upcoming titles, Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. 4, as well as currently also being in Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U.
Luigi squared off against his bro in SSB4's 100th "Pic of the Day" as the two were shown in a screen shot to commemorate the occasion.
"Pic of the day. This one marks the 100th pic of the day! Without further ado, I'd like to introduce Luigi as he adjusts his nose. Hope you enjoy!" said the game's director Masahiro Sakurai for the caption. See the image here.
