they could have made a lego mario game...instead we get this shit
I do NOT want a Lego Mario game. All of the Lego crossover games have no personality, they feel like the exact same thing with a skin over it, and they play very similarly too.
This on the other hand is kind of cool. I don't see why the characters had to be so rectangular, regular lego figures aren't like that, and it looks kind of odd, especially Mario. And why are his buttons, hat, nose and ears round when nothing else about him is? But the idea of building physical Mario levels and being able to sort of "play" the levels (but not really) is really cool. I'm a bit too old to be playing with toys, but I'm sure I would have loved this as a kid.
 
I don't get it. Like...wtf do you do? You just tap Mario on things and listen to the noises? Just give me a pile of regular Legos. That's the fun of Legos. You can build whatever you want. This seems so limited.
 
Considering it is aimed for kids, I find it less degrading than amiibos.
At least, they seem to have put some effort in this joint venture.
 
Although the set looks dull on the original box, I pre-ordered it as I love the interactive Mario and think it's great for my kid when he's old enough! (and for me to display in the meantime >___<)
 
I am still waiting on the DOOM toy set were kids learn how to use Pistols, Shotguns, Chainsaws and the like.
Not sure how Mario is preparing kids for life exactly. DOOM on the other hand...
