The LEGO Group revealed a new and unique social play experience that allows fans to connect the LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi figures in the LEGO Super Mario universe to engage in 2-player adventures. The figures are connected through Bluetooth, where fans are able to play as a team to collect digital coins by completing a series of in-sync tasks like – walking, flipping, jumping, defeating enemies, completing challenges, etc. Players can choose to either work together and share the rewards or challenge each other.
“For us it’s all about encouraging continuous creative rebuilding and extended playtime. With today’s announcement, we’re not only bringing LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi, their friends and enemies to life in new interactive ways for endless fun, we’re also thrilled to expand their play experience and the LEGO Super Mario universe with even more new sets and characters, something we really hope will excite fans”, says Simon Kent, Creative Lead, LEGO Super Mario.
The Luigi Starter Course is the latest addition to the LEGO Super Mario product line that has introduced an interactive and new way to play with LEGO bricks.
