This collaboration between LEGO and Nintendo is the latest in a series that began in 2020 with the release of the firstSuper MarioLEGO set. This release was a commercial success, leading LEGO and Nintendo to partner again to release more sets inspired by the plumber’s adventures. Since then, the two companies have released several packs to expand this brick collection, including amassive 2,800-piece Mighty Bowser LEGO set. This gigantic interactive LEGO figure allowed builders to swing Bowser’s head from left to right and even throw a fireball out of his mouth.
