LEGO Luigi Starter Set: Price, release date, pre-order and multiplayer Mario details
All the LEGO Luigi information you need to know.
LEGO's Luigi kit, known as the Adventures with Luigi Starter Course, is set to launch later this summer - and it's just been confirmed that this set will upgrade the LEGO Mario toy range with the addition of multiplayer.
This will be particularly good news for anyone who bought the Super Mario LEGO range that launched last year, because it's now been revealed that the Luigi kit and the Mario kit will worth together in tandem thanks to some snazzy tech.
Announcing the news, LEGO said, "Perfect for family activities, this exciting feature will encourage even more social play, with two players able to enjoy the universe of LEGO Super Mario at the same time for new brick-built adventures."
To learn more about the LEGO Luigi set - from its price and release date to how that multiplayer will work - keep on reading for all the essential details. Let's-a go!
How much does the LEGO Luigi kit cost?
The official LEGO website has listed the Adventures with Luigi Starter Course kit with a recommended retail price of £49.99. The kit consists of 280 pieces and is suitable for people aged six and up. To make full use of the interactive elements, you'll want to download the LEGO Super Mario app, which is included with the product for free.
When is the LEGO Luigi set release date?
Again, the answer to this question is easy to find on the official LEGO website. It says on the kit's product page that the Adventures with Luigi Starter Course will ship on 1st August 2021, making that summery day the official release date for the set. Not too long to wait, then!
How to pre-order the LEGO Luigi course
You guessed it! The official LEGO website is now accepting pre-orders for the Adventures with Luigi Starter Course, so you can head on over there and place your order whenever you're ready.
Third-party websites like Amazon have also put their product pages live now, but the price seems to be the same across the board - we'll let you know if we spot any hot deals later, though.

How does LEGO Luigi multiplayer work?
As the LEGO Group described it in an official announcement, the multiplayer offering here will be "a new unique social play experience that for the first time enables children and fans to connect LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi figures for brand new 2-player adventures in the LEGO Super Mario universe.
"Once connected via Bluetooth, 2-player adventures with LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi (or any combination of the two figures) are made possible. Now, children and fans can play as a team, collect extra digital coins by doing in-sync actions like walking, flipping and jumping, or work together to defeat enemies, complete challenges, share rewards or even by changing up the play and competing against each other."
