Is Luigi a normal minifigure?

No, Luigi is a large electronic figure with LCD screens for eyes and mouth plus built-in sensors, so he's counted separately from the set's minifigure total, which is zero.

Do I need the Mario set to play with Luigi?

No, set 71387 works on its own and already includes a start pipe, block and track pieces for a first course. Add the Mario starter set and the two figures will recognise each other.

Are batteries included?

No, the electronic Luigi figure needs batteries that are sold separately and are not included in the box.

Description

A second playable character for the system

Set 71387 adds Luigi as a standalone, electronic figure for the LEGO® Super Mario system rather than a traditional minifigure. He has LCD screens for eyes and mouth, a built-in speaker and colour and tag sensors that react to the gold coins, obstacles and other figures from across the range, tracking points and playing sound effects as you go. The 2021 set comes with 280 pieces across 151 distinct elements, built mainly in light bluish grey, bright pink, black and white – a fresh palette next to Mario's green-and-red original. Batteries for the figure are not included in the box.

Everything you need for a first course

Alongside Luigi, the set includes a start pipe, a question mark block and further track pieces, enough to put together a short course straight out of the box. The parts list on this page breaks down all 151 unique elements, from large purpose-built pieces for the figure itself to smaller studs and plates for the surrounding scenery. Because Luigi works as his own starting point, the set plays on its own or alongside the original Mario starter set 71360; the two figures recognise each other through their sensors and trigger different in-game reactions when placed close together.

Works with the wider expansion range

Once you own Luigi, every expansion and enemy set in the LEGO® Super Mario line can be attached and built into the course, from pipes and platforms to boss battles. At 280 pieces this is a compact set, sized to combine easily with other starter or expansion sets into a longer layout. For collectors, Luigi is also a character in his own right, with distinct sounds and reactions, so the set holds appeal even before a single additional piece of track gets added.

Who the set suits

This starter course suits children and fans who already own a Mario set and want a second character rather than a duplicate one, as well as anyone who would simply rather start with Luigi. The modest piece count and large share of simple, chunky elements keep the build approachable for younger builders. Players who connect the companion app get extra digital challenges and point tracking; those who prefer to just build and play get a complete experience without it. The full parts list makes it easy to spot individual elements again when planning further course expansions.
