Part of Chicago’s “L” train, the Brown Line, will be rebranded as the “Luigi Line,” and a special train covered inside and out with images of Luigi will run on that line from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time Aug. 12. In addition, Luigi himself will appear on the train. And the upper platform of the lobby at the Clark/Lake station, located at 124 W. Lake St., will host kiosks where fans can play New Super Luigi U.
New Super Luigi U is already available on the Wii U eShop for $19.99 as downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U. A retail disc-based version will be released Aug. 25 for $29.99. You can read our review of the Luigi levels here.
