On March 10th (also known as Mario Day), Nintendo teased a Super Mario/LEGO collaboration. And while there’s no release date right now, toys have been made official. Mario will be joining the wonderful world of LEGO in new Super Mario themed playsets.
These interactive playsets allow you to build the world of Mario while also playing games with the electronic toy. Mario’s eyes, mouth, and chest feature small screens that adjust based on what LEGO pieces he lands on, taking the hands-on toy to a whole new level (no pun intended).
“I have always liked LEGO products and how they help children use their imagination to play . . . The new product we created together with the LEGO Group seeks to combine two different styles of play – one where you freely build the world of Mario and the other where you play with Mario in the very world that you have created.” — Takashi Tezuka, Executive Officer and Game Producer at Nintendo
