The LEGO Group and Nintendo are teaming up to release a new line of Super Mario themed LEGO. The new “Adventures with Mario Starter Course” and first expansions have finally been revealed. The Start Course release globally on August 1, 2020, but pre-orders are now open.
The LEGO Super Mario collection lets you build your own Mario courses from LEGO bricks. It comes with an interactive LEGO Mario figure you can use while collecting coins.

The Adventures with Mario Starter Course, which was revealed by Jonathan Bennink, Lead Designer at LEGO Group, comes with a LEGO Mario and seven different “Action Blocks” which react in different ways. The starter set serves as the entry point into the LEGO Mario theme, and so showcases the many possibilities one has at their disposal with this entirely new and unique LEGO experience.

LEGO Super Mario himself has built-in screens on his eyes and mouth to display his reactions, and there’s also one on his stomach. He reacts to movement and the action blocks, and is also equipped with speakers to play music and his voice.

LEGO Mario will pass through the course collection virtual coins, jumping on blocks, fighting Goombas and Bowser Junior, to reach the goal.
An official LEGO Super Mario app is also available which serves as a support function to players’ experience. The app connects to LEGO Mario via Bluetooth® and keeps a record of your score, offers a digital guide on assembling the set, and more.

Since opening in March, Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan has caught the world’s attention, leading global game fans to pray even harder for Japan to reopen for tourism. Now, the park is scheduled to level up with a new Donkey Kong-themed area scheduled to open in 2024. Currently, Super Nintendo World is filled with Mario-inspired attractions, dining options, and shops, recreating some of the most memorable parts of the franchise in a larger-than-life way. The new Donkey Kong area will feature a roller coaster and more interactive experiences, as well as themed merchandise and food options. Guests will be able to walk through lush jungles, where Donkey Kong and his friends live. The creation of the new area will more than double the size of Super Nintendo World.
Launched as an arcade game by Nintendo in 1981, Donkey Kong quickly took the world by storm, with games continuing to be released on Nintendo systems from the SNES to the Nintendo Switch. As of March 2021, the series has sold over 65 million units worldwide. Comment from Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto
“I am very happy to be able to make the world of Donkey Kong a reality following the world of Mario. I am looking forward to creating a thrilling Donkey Kong experience with the amazing team at Universal. It will take some time until it is completed, but it will be a unique area for not only people who are familiar with Donkey Kong games but for all guests.” WIZARDING WORLD and all related trademarks, characters, names, and indicia are © & ™ Warner Bros.
