This is actually a normal discharge known as smegma. It is a yellow, sometimes green appearing discharge that is produced by the inside of the sheath. Many owners don't notice it for a long time, then will suddenly notice it one day. I would only worry if the area was swollen, or if Luigi is excessively licking down there. I hope that helps and all is well with Luigi.
