LEGO Super Mario is a product partnership between LEGO and Mario featuring characters, settings, and objects from Super Mario made of bricks that can interact, including Mario, Yoshi, Shy Guy, Piranha Plant, and Bowser Jr.

The product was first teased on March 10, 2020 (Mario Day) on Twitter,[1] and officially announced on March 12, 2020.[2] Several set pictures and names were officially revealed on April 6, 2020, as well as a few new sets. The theme is expected to release worldwide on August 1, 2020[3] with 13 sets revolving around the new interactive Mario figure, which has been shown to react to different things through scanning different prints on top of 2x2 tiles below him.

Mario has a small screen on his chest, displaying different things depending on what he interacts with.

  • A timer is displayed on Mario's chest, likely showing the amount of time the player should have to clear the course in.
  • If Mario defeats enemies, he earns coins.
  • If Mario hits a ? Block, a roulette determines what Mario gets, such as 10 coins.
  • If Mario touches the lava, he takes some damage.
  • If Mario goes near Yoshi, a heart appears on his chest.
  • If Mario touches the Goal Pole, it appears being lowered on his chest. A total sum of coins then appears on Mario's chest, showing how many coins he has collected in the run.
  • Different music is played depending on where Mario is.

Trivia

  • When the announcement of the collaboration came, the UK-based video game retailer Game made a page on their website for its customers to sign up for email notifications regarding news related to the product; however, they mistakenly said the announcement came from a Nintendo Direct, in spite of it coming through social media, and the lack of a Nintendo Direct since September 4, 2019. The error was quickly fixed.
