The LEGO Luigi starter course can be combined with other LEGO Super Mario sets to create more sprawling courses, and like LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi has a color sensor that can be used to detect different brick colors. LEGO even says that Luigi will have a different reaction to nougat brown bricks, which represent the Tower biome, than LEGO Mario does.
The LEGO Luigi starter course comes with some familiar faces aside from the green-clad plumber. Familiar faces in the set include Boom Boom, the Pink Yoshi, and Bone Goomba. LEGO Luigi, as you’d expect, can interact with all of those characters, and we imagine LEGO Mario will be able to as well. The LEGO Luigi starter course is also supported by the LEGO Super Mario app, which is where kids will find building instructions and a space to share their creations.
So, if you thought it was only a matter of time before LEGO Luigi joined LEGO Mario, then you were right on the money. The LEGO Luigi starter course is up for pre-order now from LEGO’s website for $59.99 – the same price as the LEGO Mario starter course. It’ll start shipping out on August 1st, 2021.
