71409: Big Spike’s Cloudtop Challenge Set Review
The latest wave of LEGO® Super Mario sets is mostly inspired by the more recent Mario games, with a heavy focus on the Wii U era of games. Although many of the enemies featured in these games have a long history within the world of Mario. This is the case with the set as both characters debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3 but their LEGO designs are inspired by their modern-day appearances. It’s another Expansion Set which is filled...
71407: Cat Peach Suit & Frozen Tower Set Review
Since the very first Super Mario game, swapping your outfits with power-ups has been a key piece of gameplay. With more recent games, changing costumes has been more widespread with other Mushroom Kingdom characters having gained the ability. In the world of LEGO® Super Mario, power-up suits have been portrayed by a themed set of overalls and a hat, which can be worn by both the Mario and Luigi interactive figures. Now with Princess...
71406: Yoshi’s Gift House Expansion Set Review
Yoshi is probably the most famous friendly companion of Mario. The character was introduced in Super Mario World and has since become a mainstay of the Mario games. The Yoshi have appeared in a couple of sets but this is only the second to be dedicated to the long-tongued dinosaur. This Expansion Set takes its inspiration from the games in general as opposed to being based on an exact location or level of the Super Mario series,...
71404: Goomba’s Shoe Expansion Set Review
The scale of LEGO® Super Mario sets vastly varies and this particular set is one of the smallest of all the boxed sets. It’s similar to the Baby Bowser’s Clown Car in the sense that it doesn’t integrate into the LEGO Super Mario ecosystem as a piece of scenery. Instead, the Goomba’s Shoe is a sort of vehicle for the interactive figures to be placed in. Here’s a very brief look at the set and how it...
71410: LEGO Super Mario S5 Character Packs Review
The LEGO® Super Mario Character Packs have been a fun and cheaper way to add many new characters from across the Mushroom Kingdom to the various Expansion Packs. The format of the Character Packs has changed somewhat for the 5th series. Instead of 10 characters to collect, there are now only 8 to collect and they are a little more substantial compared to the first 4 series. The bigger-sized characters also mean the packaging has been...

The entire theme is built around an interactive version of Mario. LEGO Mario was soon joined by his brother Luigi and now there’s a new interactive figure on the block in the form of Mushroom Kingdom royalty, Princess Peach. She appears in the third Starter Course set. Continuing the gaming...
71401: Luigi’s Mansion Haunt-and-Seek Set Review
With Mario Day is done for another year and now the focus for the rest of the year falls upon Luigi. This means it’s time for another LEGO® Super Mario Luigi’s Mansion Expansion set. Before Christmas, I got the chance to take a look at most of the new LEGO Super Mario expansion sets and characters, which included a couple of the sets inspired by the GameCube classic – Luigi’s Mansion. Unfortunately, that...
