Fictional character biographies

Luigi joins his twin brother Mario in most games in this series. In the Mario Bros. Game & Watch, the brothers are factory workers, preparing packages of bottles to load on a delivery truck. In the other games in the series, they are plumbers in New York City. They venture into the sewers beneath the city to defeat all of the creatures that come out of the sewer pipes.
