I LOVE that Nintendo and Lego brought us 2-D pixel art! It’s beautifully designed and adds that Nintendo charm by adding the crank and moving parts! My daughter loves the moving Yoshi. I can’t help but wish for a Zelda 2-D set!
As an "adult" who grew up strongly attached to both Video Games and Lego, the Super Mario World line of Lego sets combines two very important aspects of my childhood into one very rewarding experience. This set is satisfying to build in terms of technicality, functionality, and aesthetics. My building experience with this set was filled with moments of nostalgia reaching back to when I first played the video game which paired well with moments of awe as to how the set functions and articulates. Personally, I find the play aspects of sets like these to be a neat gimmick that are only interesting while building the set. However, whenever I walk by this set I can't help but interact with it due to how simple it is to do so.
Building this product reminded me of all the times playing the games as a kid. The music played in my head the whole time. Loved every minute I spent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This set was a fun build and the movement is a nice added touch. However, our set ended up with a kingfisher feather piece instead of an additional yellow brick making it a little difficult to complete the build without breaking out the extra bricks we had and hoping something worked.
I didn’t know the set had a spot to add Mario to read a barcode which plays the Super Mario song from SNES. It was a nice little surprise! I grew up playing this game! It’s perfect next to my Lego NES
On the way to save Princess Peach, Mario and Yoshi look great! Running movement and Yoshi's tongue always surprise guests

My daughter just turned 9 this week and she completed this in under 6 hours…she was interrupted a few times. I was actually shocked that she did it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Controls are poorly placed

It looks nice and it takes a decent amount of time to build, but once it’s done then you realize the the knob to control Yoshi’s mouth is on the back of the set
So you can’t reach it without having the set behind you or having your hand at an angle while trying to see it work
The space for Lego Mario is also barely big enough for him to the point where Mario will fall over if you’re not holding him there
