LEGO and Nintendo have teamed up for "a reimagination of the LEGO building experience", featuring Super Mario characters. You'll be able to build Mario themed stages out of special LEGO's, while guiding an interactive Mario toy through them, which can track when you make the figure jump on enemies, land on hazards, or complete your courses and earn coins. There's a display and small speaker on Mario's overalls that will notify players, either making a Warp Pipe sound effect when Mario is placed in one, or showing lava when he's placed on top of a "lava" block, and other themed effects. The LEGO and Super Mario collaboration is set to release later this year.

BILLUND, March 12, 2020: The LEGO Group announced a partnership with Nintendo that will change the way people interact with Super Mario in the physical world and engage in LEGO® experiences.

Both companies share a passion for innovation and play and their collaboration has led to a reimagination of the LEGO building experience, enabling an entirely new way to play inspired by the beloved video game icon, Super Mario.

Neither a video game nor a traditional LEGO brick-based set, LEGO® Super Mario™ is a new product line that features an interactive LEGO Mario figure who collects coins in real-life game levels created with LEGO bricks. The new line will let kids experience the playful world of Super Mario like never before. Super Mario will be brought to life in the physical LEGO world and new levels of challenge and styles of play will be part of the iconic LEGO experience enjoyed by generations.

The news was also shared in a video posted by the LEGO Group and Nintendo earlier today (https://youtu.be/Fq3hw4imZ3g).


The video, which hints at what fans can expect when LEGO Super Mario launches later this year, shows a player using an interactive Mario figure to collect coins in a real-life game level that has been created with LEGO bricks.

“We are very excited to bring Mario into the physical world through interactive and social LEGO play”, said Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, EVP of the LEGO Group. “With this experience we will help millions of kids with love for Mario to engage and play in a completely new way, where they are in control of creating and playing games with their favourite character. By seamlessly incorporating the latest digital technology, LEGO Super Mario is a highly social, interactive and collaborative experience for kids."

“I have always liked LEGO products and how they help children use their imagination to play”, said Takashi Tezuka, Executive Officer and Game Producer of Nintendo Co., Ltd. “The new product we created together with the LEGO Group seeks to combine two different styles of play – one where you freely build the world of Mario and the other where you play with Mario in the very world that you have created.”

LEGO® Super Mario™ will launch later this year, and more information will be made available in the future.

This doesn't look very good.
If it was a regular LEGO minifigure, it would be a 1000 times better

Lego don't kno nintendo style as mario didn't jump on top of the flag

That's what I was expecting when I saw the title. Sets with familiar scenes from Mario games, with standard LEGO minifigs.This is just... odd.

This Mario reminds me of the new Furby.

Now release a New Theme DLC for Mario Maker 2 to have Lego be a Stage-set Theme along with the others of Mario Bros, World etc. that is their already.

Also as a bonus, somehow allow you to import your Lego Mario Stage into Mario Maker 2 via NFC/QR to have it made into a replica stage.

Get to work Nintendo (while your at it, add Mario Bros 2 mechanics & theme to the game finally so we can have the ultimate Mario Maker tool set)
