LEGO and Nintendo have officially revealed the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Luigi Starter Course, a new set in the LEGO Super Mario product line that adds Luigi to the mix for the first time. This comes after early listings revealed that the announcement was likely imminent. Prior to this, the battery-powered figure that folks could use with the courses was limited to Mario and various costumes.

The Luigi figure, as compared to Mario, has his own “personality” and unique voice, according to the announcement. Also? He’s one LEGO plate taller than Mario because, well, Luigi is famously taller than Mario. Other than that, however, Luigi is functionally similar to the LEGO Mario and uses the same technology inside with a little LCD screen on the front, color sensor on the bottom, and general ability to know when it’s moving around and play music and sounds.
