However, Luigi has not always chosen to wear his usual green and blue clothes. ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' originally dressed Luigi in a black shirt and green overalls, although artwork showed his shirt to be red. Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the green color of clothing for Luigi was inspired by the enemy [[Shellcreeper]].<ref>[http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2013/03/11/luigi-101-with-shigeru-miyamoto-origins-importance-and-his-role-in-new-super-luigi-u/]</ref> ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'' gave him a magenta pair of overalls and helmet, seemingly leaving him shirtless. Even ''Super Mario Bros.'' gave its Luigi a green shirt and white overalls (although ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' replaced this with a less aberrant brown shirt and green overalls, leaving his original colors to Fire Luigi, who usually has an inverse scheme), even though his usual palette and appearance had emerged in artwork. Fire Luigi's palette in ''Super Mario Bros.'' uses the color scheme used by [[Fire Mario]]. In both ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Luigi wears Princess Peach's dress as a disguise.

Luigi originated as being a {{wp|palette swap}} of Mario in his earlier adventures. This applies to ''Mario Bros.'', ''Wrecking Crew'', ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and in a few versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. Luigi's first depiction as taller and thinner is in ''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]'', although Luigi's first unique sprites came in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in which his artwork appearance conveniently coincided with the tall [[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic#Characters (and their Mario counterparts)|Mama]]'s sprite. Nintendo of Japan would not adapt Luigi's artwork differences to his in-game sprite until ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', although Luigi's various models have been unique almost ever since, even in remakes of games where he was originally a palette swap (such as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''). However, Luigi's appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''{{'}}s ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styles revert to depicting him as a palette swap of Mario - most likely in order to be faithful to his original designs - though in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style, his color scheme is a darker shade of green; on an interesting note, his fire form's colors in both styles are reimagined. In the game's ''Super Mario World '' style, Luigi's unique head shape from ''Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World'' is retained, though his body shape and his animations revert to those in ''Super Mario World''.
