Surprise! Nintendo has officially announced that LEGO Luigi will be hitting stores later this year.
We already had an idea that this was coming thanks to a leak on Amazon yesterday (as well as that creepy LEGO Mario firmware update, of course) but here's the official announcement from Nintendo itself:
"It’s LEGO Luigi time! He’s here to join the adventure, in the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Luigi Starter Course! Meet up with Pink Yoshi, defeat iconic enemies like Boom Boom, complete spinning seesaw and flying challenges, and collect digital coins all throughout the level."
This new Luigi set isn't launching until 1st August, but you can actually go ahead and pre-order it right now. The Luigi Starter Pack costs £49.99 / 59,99€ / $59.99 and contains all of the parts found in the image below.

Well it’s the same but with a green hat! 😅
@MarcianoMD What are you talking about, his tash is slightly different too! ;p
@jump 😅
So it's basically the Mario Lego with a different moustache and painted green.
The dimensions of Luigi's head is taller as well as having a different moustache.
His body is kept the same as Mario's (obviously minus the colour) so he can use the same power up expansion packs with the different outfits.
I think a lot of people would be surprised how many differences there are between the two when lined up next to each other. The hair is a different shape and so are the eyebrows.
People are also expecting some form of multiplayer mode to be added in the future as well, but that wasn't announced here so probably won't be available at launch.
That's sooo creative...
@ImagineerNik Thats pretty cool!
I never really liked the Mario Lego sets as Mario doesn't really look like a proper Mario or a proper Lego figure. This one is even worse though as it looks like a green version of the Mario figure.
@dr-gorgo dude like 95% of your comments are negative lol
if every game is mediocre, what's a great game to you?
All right been waiting for him.
Should've been a haunted mansion level.
very goooood!!!!
I love Luigi the best out of all videogame characters!!
I've been waiting for this day to come
If he said this stuff I'd buy him in a heartbeat.
@ImagineerNik Yeah, people keep saying it's the same as Mario, but the entire head section is different.
@NikHogan
Someone could find the cure for global warming, cancer, and world hunger, and @dr-gorgo would still find a way to be negative about it.
I do not appreciate and do not find this appealing at all. Uninspiring product, although much suitable for small children if it wasn’t that expensive. They had to introduce new colors to sell this 3 cubic platforms. Extremely poorly designed item. 60€ for 280 lego pieces ?
I hate the design of the Mario legos. I get that they are supposed to be pixel inspired, but honestly I would have preferred mini figures instead of these.
But why does he have 5 o’clock shadow?
Anyone wanting to preorder, Zavvi have the best deal as you get a free mini expansion set and a tshirt. Just a heads up! 😁👍
I just wish it wasn't so expensive. One set by itself isn't that big a deal but when you want all the sets.... yikes. And more just keep coming.
It's pretty cool though regardless but just not worth the price for me.
Will pre order when it hits amazon.
I do hope they make a Peach, Daisy and Toad so that we can recreate SMB 2. With Daisy added.
@MarcianoMD,
Is that not what Luigi is anyway.
Don't forget his eyebrows, those are also petitioned differently. Mario looks a little more serious, while Luigi looks more innocent or surprised.
really wanna get this espically since the sets now are really cheap
@Mr-Fuggles777 a palette swap, exactly as original Luigi...
@BionicDodo Well Luigi is literally green Mario.
@SmaggTheSmug luigi is tall and lanky in comparison, short and stubby lego mario was fitting for the character.
This seems like a quick cosmetic change rather than a new character design, for another character.
@Octane Come’on.. that would mean nintendo actually, try! Rather than just make a sellable product.
Nintendo: Lego Luigi
Me: Here's my credit card.
Luigi is my favorite Mario Bros.
@Xiovanni You're right. Shame they didn't mention it in the video. Perhaps they'll do a separate video for that.
@MarcianoMD No it has other changes.
@Octane they already have one, plus there is a bone goomba in the Luigi set.
But it's got a new hat!
Me! Me! Me! I want it! I want it! I want it!
@NikHogan Now that you mention it, you are right. I did not even notice that myself. In this forum I seem to only post things that I don't like. That is mainly because I don't like the posting section structure where you can't find anything.
