Today we can discover a little more about the LEGO Super Mario "range" with a short video featuring a large interactive minifigure, additional characters and a buildable level of the game. At first glance, the experience seems rather fun, even if we visibly move away from the "traditional" LEGO concept with its minifigs.

We also know that there will be several sets but that the Mario figurine will be the only one to be equipped with the device offering all its interactivity to this range with screens in the eyes, mouth and chest and a speaker. The construction shown in the video below is an assembly of elements from several sets in the range. It will also be possible to build your own levels while respecting the constraint of 60 seconds to complete the game. No interaction with the Nintendo Switch and presence of a Bluetooth connection which we do not yet know what it will be used for.

Until better, the mini-site dedicated to this new range can be found  at this address.

...The LEGO Group announces its new partnership with Nintendo, which will allow Super Mario to interact with the real world, while retaining the construction play experience offered by the LEGO® brand.

The two companies have one thing in common: their passion for innovation and play. Their collaboration has led to rethinking the classic building experience offered by LEGO, introducing a whole new way of playing, inspired by the iconic character of video games, Super Mario.

Neither video game nor traditional LEGO construction set, LEGO® Super Mario ™ is a new line that includes an interactive LEGO Mario minifigure. Using this minifigure, the player will have to collect coins in different game levels built with LEGO bricks. This new range will offer children an experience of the world of Super Mario like they have never experienced before! Super Mario will come to life in the physical LEGO world. The game experience, transgenerational and iconic takes on a new dimension combining challenges and interactivity.

The LEGO® Super Mario ™ line will launch later this year, and more information will be available soon ...
