There are few simpler pleasures in life than a classic 2D Mario experience. Whether you’re a casual fan of gaming or a committed Nintendo enthusiast, odds are you’ve got a favorite Super Mario platformer. From way back with Super Mario Bros. all the way up to Super Mario Wonder, there’s so much to enjoy along the way. For those who hold a special place in your hearts for Super Mario World, today’s your lucky day, as an incredible new Lego set featuring Mario and Yoshi has just been made available for pre-order!
This set breaks the mold of what one would typically expect from a Lego set; rather than being a diorama depicting a full scene, this set is simply the classic sprites of Mario riding atop Yoshi. There’s more than just that however, as by rotating a lever the duo will begin running in place reminiscent of how they would in the original game. Yoshi can even extend his tongue! If you’re remotely interested in Lego or Super Mario, you might want to pick up this set for a wonderful display piece.
