There isn't one single "Luigi cheat code," as it varies by game, but common methods involve holding shoulder buttons (L & R) on the title screen or save file selection in games like New Super Mario Bros. (DS) to play as Luigi, while Super Mario 64 (N64) has fan-made codes (like LUIGIISREAL) for unlocking him with specific abilities in mods. For New Super Luigi U, holding ZL during stage selection lets you play as Nabbit.
Hold the L and R buttons, located on the upper shoulders of the DS. Keep both of them held down simultaneously. Still holding L and R, hit the A button to start your game. This should unlock the plucky, lanky Luigi to play.
Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-Select-Start, chances are good that you grew up in the 80s. This is because this combination of buttons is the infamous Konami Code, a cheat code that video games (and others, including some websites and software) have continued to reference since it first appeared in 1986.

The player may also switch to Luigi by jumping into his painting in Internal Garden or by entering the double doors under the "L" behind the mirror in Big Boo's Fortress. Rarely, the player's character may randomly switch from Mario to Luigi while entering a door.
The most prominent LGBTQ+ characters in the Mario universe are Birdo, often interpreted as a transgender woman, and Vivian from Paper Mario, explicitly depicted as a transgender woman in the Japanese original and the 2024 remake, though her portrayal varied in older English versions. Other characters, like some Toads or fan interpretations of Birdo's desire to be seen as female, contribute to discussions about LGBTQ+ themes, but Vivian and Birdo are the clearest examples of explicit gender identity representation.

So Luigi's transition to having a tether grab an ultimate actually worked out heavily in his favor. Though he lost the quick frame data his grab had in the previous game, he gained a long-range tether grab with the ability to use Zair which end up being one of the best in the game in terms of attacking.
