Since Nintendo and Lego announced this collaboration that proposes to enjoy Mario in the most real way you can imagine, I admit that they interested me a lot. Now, after a time where not only I have been able to enjoy them, I have to say that the Lego Super Mario sets are more than a toy for children.
Lego and Nintendo shake hands
Lego and Nintendo are two very particular companies that over the years have managed to get into the hearts of many of us. Especially for those of us who are of a certain age and have grown up with both the famous building blocks and the well-known Nintendo plumber.
Well, a collaboration between the two could not come out other than something very special and it has been so with Lego Super Mario . A proposal that combines these blocks with very characteristic elements of Mario video games , resulting in a toy that is not only for the smallest of the house.
What’s more, I would dare to say that this is for all those Nintendo fans who even have that collector’s point. Because once you assemble the different sets, if you don’t want to take advantage of what they propose as a game system, it doesn’t matter, on a shelf they will look great and you will enjoy just looking at them.
However, let’s go into a little more detail and see what sets there are, what they offer and then what all that gaming experience is like for which you will absolutely need the initial pack .
Build your own Super Mario world
There are several sets and each one offers a series of different elements with which you can create different levels so to speak. Although if you want to create one in a giant plan, you will only have to combine them so that each game is different. Although then we get into the matter of how to play.
Each set is very well thought out and removing some pieces that have been specifically designed, it is very curious how with the usual Lego pieces you can build different enemies and other elements that will remind you a lot of the original ones. video game.
It is important to know that removing the initial set, for all the others the assembly instructions will have to be found in digital format. For example, through the Lego Super Mario application for iOS or Android, which is necessary for the rest of the options and game it offers.
Having to resort to an app is not a drama, although it must be recognized that for the little ones sometimes a paper script is much more comfortable and convenient. But what has been said, nothing happens either and it makes sense that if you get these sets, it is because you are also going to download their app and see what it offers.
Therefore, what is important is to know that the quality of each and every one of them is at the level of what Lego offers. The difference compared to other sets is that here it is Mario and his entire universe that sets this proposal that will appeal to older and not so old.
How to play Lego Super Mario
Let’s get into the fun part, the game. Lego Super Mario proposes you to enjoy the Mario experience in a very real way. That is, you are going to handle Mario and you will have to go through the levels that you build, dodging or killing the enemies you meet, dodging tests and all this in a maximum time of one minute. Although you can get extra seconds.
Basically it is identical to the video game, because you will even find blocks with which to get not only extra coins, but also powers such as the classic mushroom or those that allow you to change your outfit. Which by the way, there are suits with new powers for you to change to Mario.
Of course it is obvious that this game is not the same as the video game. Here you will not fall jumping because you carry the character in your hand, but it is still fun when you play it with the little ones at home. And that point of getting the most coins is what makes it a bit difficult in a way. Although there are also small challenges through the app that propose new ways to play with this proposal.
And as you may have already guessed from the images, the figure of Mario is the key . This doll with Bluetooth connectivity and various sensors as well as an LED screen. But the main component is in the camera located at the bottom, that is the one that allows you to scan some stickers with codes that interact with the character, either when you kill an enemy or get on a platform that is going to rotate, etc.
In this way, together with the sensors that allow detecting if he is hit or falls , the screens with which the eyes change their expression or look to one side or the other and even that part that allows you to know if Mario is burning from stepping on red pieces that are the lava of video games, Mario is super adorable.
Lego Super Mario, be careful they take it away
Lego Super Mario is a toy and no one doubts that . Still, it is true that it also has its collector’s item point and if you are a Nintendo fan, you are going to want to have it. Because it is very well built, because the characters offer a very curious level of detail and because their resemblance to the video game is great.
In addition, being able to combine the different elements means that you can build the level you want, making it a game that never has an end. But if you don’t want to play and just want to place it on the shelf at home, it is also highly recommended.
Of course, if you have small children at home be careful, because it is very likely that when you least expect it they will have taken it to play. So, if you had considered the idea of giving it away or giving it to yourself, go ahead.
All Lego Super Mario sets
The initial pack is basic to start playing and you will need it, since it is the only one that includes the Mario figure. Although it is not known if at some point they will release a version with Luigi as the protagonist or independently, which would be nice.
