Update (11th Nov, 12:00 GMT): For some reason, the 'month' of Luigi (see below for more details) appears to be showing no signs of slowing down. A quick look at the @SuperMario_UK Twitter account reveals that Luigi's reign is still very much in effect despite the fact that we're now well and truly in November.
The account has been posting daily facts about Luigi since the beginning of October, promising more throughout the month, but is still going strong eleven days later. The account's humour is still shining through, too. Here's 'Day 41' of Luigi's special month:
When will it end? Will it ever end? Is Mario finished? Has someone made sure that the Nintendo social media team are OK? Has Luigi redefined what it means to be a month? Amazing.
Original Article (Fri 4th Oct, 2019 11:00 BST): The month of October is now upon us and there are plenty of things for Nintendo fans to be excited about. Arguably one of the main reasons, of course, is the upcoming launch of Luigi's Mansion 3, and Nintendo is celebrating in style.
Remember the Year of Luigi a few years back? Well, for one month only, Nintendo has decided to once again celebrate all things green by dubbing October 2019 as 'Super Luigi Month'. The Super Mario UK Twitter account has been rebranded as Super Luigi UK until 31st October, the day of the new game's release; from now until then, the account will be "dedicated entirely to Luigi and his esteemed history". As it should be.
Things have already begun, with one Luigi-themed message seemingly appearing per day. Here's what we've had so far:
If you're wanting to join in with the celebrations, make sure to give @SuperMario_UK a follow to receive lots of Luigi goodness all over your timeline.
Are you looking forward to Luigi's Mansion 3 later this month? Let us know if you're planning on getting it with a comment below.

The year of luigi had several Luigi related releases. This only has luigi's mansion 3?
Waffle Stomper.
@jobvd Well, this is one-twelfth of the time period
L is real, yo.
And I suppose I really gotta play NSMBU, now that the game comes in one package at one price.
Super Paper Mario for switch CONFIRMED
Yeah I wish
@jobvd Luigi might also appear in Mario Kart Tour after the New York tour is over.
Is St Patrick's day this month?
dr. Luigi port then?
I’ll have you know, October is Michael Jackson month! But I like both, so I’m ok with Luigi encroaching... a bit...
@Pod It was available on Wii U as one pack for just £20 in the "Selects" range
@ MartyFlan
Why october? Am i missing something? I do like me some MJ though.
@chardir
True. I clean forgot about it. And would you look at that; it's on Amazon for €16.
WELP.
I'm glad Luigi is going to be getting more attention than Red Luigi this month! We need another Year of Luigi though.
Year of Luigi was 6 years ago. Yikes.
Let us have a Luigi background for our switch consoles to celebrate
What??
Mr. L was LUIGI??!?
Waluigi for smash CONFIRMED surely.
Luigi in Mario Kart world tour.
Luigi being added as playable in Mario Odyssey.
Luigi mansion 1&2 double pack CONFIRMED
Or in fact none of these and just some tweets
@Zeldafan79 THRILLER! Lol for Halloween, although personally I much prefer Michael Jackson’s Ghosts and Is It Scary but everyone knows Thriller.
I won’t be the first one to have said this, but since the Year of Luigi ended, society just... well, y’know... the world is a very different place now.
I feel Luigi’s steady, reassuring presence was the last stabilising influence we had. Maybe we can take this month to remember the past and work towards a brighter, more stable future. It’s what Luigi would want.
I miss the year of Luigi (2013). What a great time, and I loved whenever Nintendo mentioned it in their Directs.
@jobvd I seriously hope you were joking when you typed that. Lol
Truly luigi owns halloween sense he is the best mansion ghost hunter..
Really wish they'd re-release Luigi's mansion 1 and 2 onto Switch
this is one of my most anticipated games of the year! <3 Luigi, I belive in you!
Is there any Luigi-specific Spirits that Nintendo could release as a regular Spirit board event, and not those Tournament only events?
Cool, so could we have Parade Luigi introduce Geno? Or be chased by Ikki to unveil Shantae?
Every month is Luigi's month.
Cool.
I'll go celebrate this by playing as Luigi in Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.
@ MartyFlan
I know those! I've got every album MJ ever released. Big fan!
So when will the week of, day of, hour of, minute of and second of Luigi take place?
Glad they clarified which amiibo was Luigi
Paper Luigi confirmed, then?
Love Luigi more the merrier:)
BEST TWEET EVER!
I read it as the Mouth of Luigi as was staring at the picture to see if he had a cavity or something.
Hey Ninty are you okay, are you okay Ninty?! You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth Mr. L!
From now on I am adopting the Luigi calendar. I am looking forward to Christmas on Super Luigi Month Day 85 and of course my birthday on Super Luigi Month Day 362.
Luigi deserves this no longer a shadow of Mario but his own unique character
It is interesting how Luigi's Mansion didn't get an amiibo
@Ooccoo_Jr And thus we hereby declare this new calendar as A.L. (Anno Luigi)
He is also the main playable character during the modern era in the Tokyo 2020 story mode.
@BarefootBowser if Amiibo were still selling, you can bet that would've been on shelves alongside Luigi's Mansion 3.
I don't get it, don't months have an average of 61 days everywhere else? I'm talking about January, February, Mario,Thursday, October (renamed Luigi in UK) and, of course, Johnson
Do it, Nintendo. Direct, Luigi and Daisy, SML1 skin for SMM2, talk amiibo outfits, reveal Shantae and it's her bumping Daisy on the mural! Do it!
Remember when everyone thought they killed off Luigi in that trailer? Good times lol.
@Euler Then Ridley got his brother LOL!
they are slowly killing off the Super Mario World
and remember that Shulk got Bowser with a Back Slash.
There was a month of Luigi?
Also, isn't every month Luigi's month?
I'm over here celebrating a Decade of Luigi.
@BarefootBowser : They can start by actually utilising the existing Luigi/Boo/Super Mario series amiibo before selling us more figurines to collect dust.
I have just realised that I have forgotten why I even buy these things anymore. They are criminally underused considering the sheer quantity of figurines that are available.
What? It's October the 41st
If this was leading up to an announcement they'd better get on with it. If not?
... October will last forever 😱
@BarefootBowser : Be that as it may, there's little point in releasing additional amiibo when Nintendo are neglecting the ones that are already available.
I hardly use them either, but I would like to be able to.
we here in the states the so called month of LUIGI has been super lame, there really has been nothing. was really hoping for LM3 special edition Amiibo or even a gooigi amiibo, but alas we got Jack Snit. BOOOOOOOOO Nintendo BOOOOOO (and i do not mean King Boo either).
