We already knew that new LEGO Super Mario sets and character packs were coming in 2021, and today – after a lot of speculation – it’s been revealed how Luigi is joining the Lego party. Once you’ve built and connected Luigi, you can connect him to Mario via Bluetooth and from there you can play as a team and collect virtual digital coins in tandem with your Lego sibling. Check out how it all looks in the video below. “The interactive and highly-anticipated Adventures with Luigi Starter Course is the latest extension of the LEGO Super Mario product line, the result of a unique partnership with Nintendo, that has introduced an entirely new way to play with LEGO bricks,” says a press release. “Players will be able to get their hands on LEGO Luigi with the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Luigi Starter Course, a set that contains elements for both single and dual play from August 1.” Available for pre-order from today is perhaps the biggest expansion to date: the ‘Bowser’s Airship Expansion Set’. The set gives fans a first chance to build an exciting new level within the universe, taking on the infamous flying ship. “Fight off Kamek, a Goomba and a Rocky Wrench then battle with the ship itself!” says a press release. “The ship can be arranged in ‘flying mode’ or folded out in ‘course mode’.”
The other new products introduced today include: Frog Mario and Bee Mario Power-Up packs, which let players change up play and dress Lego Mario in his playful frog and bee suits; and a Boss Sumo Bro Topple Tower Expansion Set, where kids can use their Lego Mario and/or Lego Luigi figure to bring down the Topple Tower. Here’s a full list of all the Super Mario Lego sets you’ll be able to buy, as of August 1:
71391 Bowser’s Airship Expansion Set (available to pre-order today) ($99.99) 71388 Boss Sumo Bro Topple Tower Expansion Set ($29.99) 71389 Lakitu Sky World Expansion Set ($39.99) 71390 Reznor Knockdown Expansion Set ($69.99) 71392 Frog Mario Power-Up Pack ($9.99) 71393 Bee Mario Power-Up Pack ($9.99) 71394 Character Packs – Series 3 (10 collectible Character Packs, including Galoomba, Parachute Bob-omb, Crowber, Boo, Amp, Torpedo Ted, Bony Beetle, 1-Up Mushroom, Scuttlebug and Swoop) ($4.99)
