How to Unlock Luigi in Super Smash Bros

Luigi is a popular Smash Bros. fighter, but he'll need to be unlocked in every Smash Bros. game (excluding Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS) before he can be used. The methods of unlocking Luigi is different in each game and system.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

  1. This is the easiest way to unlock Luigi, and will likely happen before you know it if you play regularly with friends. At the end of the 22nd match, the winner will be challenged to a 1-on-1 fight against Luigi. If Luigi is defeated, you'll be able to select him in all modes. [1]
    • If you don't beat Luigi, you'll be challenged to a fight each time a versus match is completed.
  2. Another way to unlock Luigi is to clear all of the stages in Classic Mode without using a continue. You can set the number of lives you have when you start Classic Mode, so set it to 5 to give you the most retries. You can also lower the difficulty and still be able to unlock Luigi.
    • After beating Classic Mode, Luigi will challenge you to a 1-on-1 fight. Defeating him will add him to your character roster.

  3. The final way to unlock Luigi is to play Subspace Emissary. On Level 29 "Subspace (Part 1)", you'll be given the opportunity to pick between King Dedede, Ness, and Luigi. Picking Luigi and then completing the game will unlock Luigi for all modes.
    • The final area of Subspace Emissary is the Great Maze. In this area, you'll need to make your way through 40 rooms and find your way to the end. Along the way, you'll fight all of the characters and bosses that you've faced so far.

Method 2 of 3:

Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube)

  1. This is the single player mode that allows you to progress through various levels. You can select any character that you have available.
    • Besides the method outlined here, you can also fight 800 Versus matches to unlock Luigi.
  2. The first level should be fairly straightforward. Just use your basic attacks to take out any enemies along the way. It should only take a minute or two to reach the end.
  3. Before you step on the checkered ground at the end of the first level, wait for a moment.
  4. For example, the timer may say "05:48 25 ". You'll want to wait until it reads "05:4 2 25 " and then cross the line. [2]
  5. If you crossed the line at the correct time, you'll be challenged to a fight by Luigi instead of the usual challenger, Mario. You'll need to work fast to defeat Luigi and Peach within one minute.
    • The best way to do this is to quickly build up each of their percentages with small, fast attacks. Then, once they're around 80%, start hitting them with your Smash attacks to try to send them off the screen.
  6. After defeating Luigi and Peach, you'll need to clear the rest of Adventure Mode. The levels will get harder as your progress, so you'll want to take full advantage of all of your character's moves.
    • If you can't beat Adventure Mode and need to retry, make sure that you still fight Luigi at the end of the first level.
  7. After the credits and ending movie at the end of Adventure Mode, you'll be challenged to a fight against Luigi. You'll each only have one life, so make sure to fight your hardest! Once you've defeated Luigi, he will be available to select in any mode.

Method 3
Method 3 of 3:

Super Smash Bros. (N64)

  1. "Break the Targets!!" mode. This mode tasks you with destroying all of the targets on the level as quickly as possible.
  2. Each character has a unique Break the Targets level that requires you to use their special abilities. You'll need to destroy all of the targets with Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Pikachu, and Fox. [3]
    • Don't worry about doing it quickly, you only need to break all of the targets to unlock Luigi.
    • See the video below for a walkthrough of each of the Break the Targets levels.
  3. Luigi will challenge you to a 1-on-1 battle as soon as you finish the last of your Break the Targets levels. This means that you will be using the character that you just finished the level with. You can use this to your advantage to ensure that you are using a character you like against Luigi.
    • Once you defeat Luigi, he will be added to your character roster.
