WTF?! LEGO reveals an animated Super Mario World set, and it’s amazing

CRANK IT UP TO ELEVEN with Mario and Yoshi

My goodness, they can’t keep doing this! Nintendo and LEGO are at it again, making saving for my daughter’s college a near impossible task. This time they’ve revealed a brand new Super Mario World set is on the way, onsite at SDCC.

The set is a 2D standee that uses the game’s 16-bit style to feature Mario riding Yoshi. But there’s always magic with a LEGO set, and this one has built-in animations that take place when owners turn a crank on the side, causing Yoshi to walk and stick out his tongue. And we can even add a Mario, Luigi, or Peach figure from their mainline Super Mario sets! COOL.

IT’S ANOTHER FREAKING COOL SET. AGAIN.

Nintendo and LEGO continue to have fun with this partnership, and I will continue to buy these sets.

Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi and its 1215 pieces arrives on October 1, 2024. It can be purchased from LEGO.
