A different Luigi

Interestingly enough, Nintendo of America altered Luigi's appearance in Super Mario World while combining it with Super Mario All-Stars. The original (SMW) Luigi had the same sprites as Mario, just with a different color scheme. The "new" (SMAS+SMW) Luigi is taller and slimmer, looking more like the Luigi in SMW promotional artwork.

As you can see below, I've done a few sprite comparisons so you can see all the subtle changes. Some not-so-subtle changes worth pointing out: While jumping, Luigi kicks his legs back on the way up, and then descends in a sitting position; in the death animation, all green on Luigi's face was removed (an improvement, in my opinion); while throwing a fireball, Luigi scrunches up quite a bit; Luigi now slides down slopes on his knees; after clearing a stage, Luigi crosses his arms instead of flashing the V-sign.
