Coming from an interview with Kotaku...

"Luigi, by nature, is sort of a little bit of a fearful and clumsy character, so that's something that provides a lot of opportunity for gameplay." - Yoshihito Ikebata

"With Luigi you can also explore a wider range of emotions." - Brian Davis, a gameplay engineer at Next Level Games

"He's kind of the underdog in the shadow of his brothe. So he kind of has that fearful tension that always surrounds him. This game's about spooks and comedy. He just provides a wider range or reactions. Our animators have had a lot more fun kind of getting a wider range of emotions through to the player than Mario will. He just kind of does his pump-fist and jumps up. After 10 hours of pump-fist, it might be too much." - Bryce Holliday, director at Next Level
