We may have asserted that Mario is the face of gaming in our list of the 10 Best Mario Games Ever, but that doesn't mean that his brother shouldn't be there with him. In fact, Luigi has been there for pretty much the entirety of Mario's rise to success. In the 10 Best Luigi Appearances Ever, we not only recognize the high points of Luigi's adventures, we try to reflect on the moments where Mario wasn't in the spotlight, and Luigi took his well-deserved turn. While there aren't enough sole-Weegee adventures to warrant a 10 Best Luigi Games Ever list, we are sure that one day there will be. But for now, let's chase some ghosts and run in midair as we jump through the 10 Best Luigi Appearances Ever.
