This hybrid between toy and video game mixes both worlds and creates a physical product with which it is possible to interact.
The most famous video game plumber leaves the virtual universes and enters the real world. It does so through LEGO Super Mario, a product in which people can interact in the physical world. This is a collaboration between Nintendo and the toy company, which mixes both the LEGO building factor and the electronic component of the Kyoto video games. In a press release, Nintendo has unveiled the complete catalog, which will be available from August 1; The prices of each product have also been confirmed.
The collaboration, which was announced in early 2020, revealed both the Mario Adventure Starter Pack and the Piranha Plant Superderrape and Final Battle expansion sets at Bowser Castle. Only the basic pack includes the figure of Mario, with which we can go through all the levels we build, collect coins, etc.
Furthermore, each of the sets includes unique challenges and characters. New confirmed expansions include The Armored Lair, Mario and Yoshi’s House, or Toad’s Treasure Hunt. Ten collectible Mario enemies are also added, although the player won’t know which one it is until he opens the box. We can find a Paragoomba, a Fuzzy, a Spike, a Buzzy Beetle, a Bill Bala, a Bob-omb, an Eep Cheep, a Blooper, an Erincho or a Ghost.
