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!

Verified Purchase:No
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
If Lego makes more sets in this style, that is SNES sprites but with characters other than Mario, watch me throw my wallet at this company. It’s so charming, looks great next to my Nintendo game collection & it wasn’t an all-day build (which I don’t mind but sometimes I like builds that only take an hour & change). Overall, VERY pleased with this purchase.
