Luigi

Mario's green partner

Luigi is an Italian given name, the Italian form of Louis.

In American pop culture, Luigi is recognized as Mario's younger brother in Nintendo video games—taller, thinner, and often overshadowed: He's always the Luigi of the group.

This makes Luigi shorthand for a sidekick or second fiddle.
