The Quickest Way to Unlock Luigi
The quickest way to unlock Luigi in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is to progress through the game’s Classic mode. Classic mode lets one choose an unlocked character to go through a series of fights with, including a boss battle at the end. After the boss battle has been completed successfully, players will get to face off against another fighter, getting the chance to unlock them.
In order to unlock Luigi through Classic mode, one will need to complete Classic mode as Fire Emblem character Ike, a character who also needs to be unlocked. So beat Classic mode as the following characters in order to get to Luigi: Mario, then unlock Sonic, then Bayonetta, then Little Mac, then Ike. After this, players will get to face off against Luigi.
On paper, it seems like a lot of effort to get to Mario’s sibling. But in reality, one may be able to unlock the character in under an hour.
How to Unlock Luigi Through World of Light
Players can also unlock Luigi by progressing through World of Light, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate story mode. Luigi can be found in the Mysterious Dimension area of the World of Darkness. Reaching this stage could take quite some time, however, so players should be prepared to spend hours playing the game if they want to get Luigi through this route.
How to Unlock Luigi Through VS Mode
Another way for players to unlock Luigi is to progress through Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s VS Mode. In VS Mode, players will get to face off against lots of characters, unlocking each of them as they are beaten. But again, this is a time-consuming process.
Luigi is 33rd on the list of characters to be unlocked by going through VS Mode, so it could be hours upon hours until players get to play as Mario’s sibling. Playing Classic mode is still the quickest way to unlock him, but those who find their fun by slogging through VS Mode sill ought to have fun.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available on Nintendo Switch.
