Lego's first interactive Super Mario set is now available to pre-order
Last month Lego confirmed that it was joining forces with one of Nintendo’s most popular video games: Super Mario.
Bringing the much-loved Super Mario world to life in Lego bricks, the toy company have now revealed the highly-anticipated collaboration.
Creating a new hybrid experience, the creation is neither a video game or traditional Lego brick-building set. Instead, it merges the two worlds, creating an innovative, engaging Lego experience.
The Lego set comes with an interactive and Bluetooth-enabled Lego Mario figure, which features LCD screens on it’s eyes, mouth, and stomach for instant expressive responses.
The character also comes equipped with a speaker that plays sound effects and the iconic music from the video game series.
