Amiibo Luigi Super Mario Series

Product Information

When attacking with Luigi Cyclone, only do so while grounded — aerial usage is risky, especially off-stage (where Luigi shouldn’t be anyway).

I think most Nintendo fans will prefer the Super Mario one, but if you really like Super Smash Brothers or Luigi’s more eccentric side then this is one of the few figures out there to capture that side of the character.The Smash Brothers Luigi does show some of the flaws of early Amiibo which had inconsistent paint or decals. Vanilla tournaments are the cream of the crop in the current meta, but if you want to put spirits on Luigi, do so before you train him.

So Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, Smash Brothers Wii U and 3DS, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Hyrule Warriors are all examples of games that work with Luigi.Overall, SMB Luigi is the better figure, but only because I’m disappointed with how they portrayed Luigi for the Smash line. You’ll want to avoid using Fireball, Green Missile, and Luigi Cyclone during training; in the case of the former, the AI often uses its Fireballs at inappropriate times, such as when directly next to an opponent. While the rate of new amiibo released has slowed since they debuted, Nintendo is still releasing new figures and has made no announcements regarding the discontinuation of the amiibo line.
