The LEGO Group has revealed its full Super Mario product list, the result of the toymaker’s collaboration with Nintendo – all of which will launch on August 1.
The first items in the range were revealed back in April, where we got a glimpse of the LEGO Super Mario starter pack, which features a chunky Mario figure with interactive LCD screens in his eyes, mouth and belly. LEGO Mario interacts with ‘action bricks’ to display emotions and augment the experience. This will be complemented by the LEGO Super Mario app, which will track a player’s build score and act as an interactive instruction manual.
You can read our impressions of the Starter Set and some of the expansions in our hands-on preview, where we say it’s “best enjoyed when you forget the instructions and let your imagination run wild.” You can check out a gallery of all the sets below:

With the full product range now revealed, we can get a more detailed glimpse at the additional adventures you’ll be able to embark upon if you pick up the starter course. According to The LEGO Group, this will include the opportunity to “build Mario’s house, search for treasure hidden by Toad, and defeat a Koopa Troopa in the Guarded Fortress” among others.
The new products that have been revealed are split into three categories – expansion packs, power up packs, and character packs. As mentioned, you’ll need the Adventures with Mario Starter Course to interface with everything on offer here. Expansion Sets offer new set pieces to play with, Character Packs are purchased in blind bags and feature iconic enemies such as Bob-ombs and Goombas, and Power Up Packs give Mario the suits he often dons in-game to augment his powers in the LEGO realm.
