The LEGO Super Mario experience is getting a new range of expansion sets, collectible Nintendo character packs and power-up packs. First unveiled back in April, the Adventures with Mario Starter Course is key to unlocking the entire play, since it includes the interactive Mario figureine that can be used to collect coins in-game levels. Read more for two videos, including a hands-on, additional pictures and information.
There will also be ten Nintendo collectible enemy characters that are available in blind bag character packs. Each bag contains a buildable character and action tag to play with, and they are: Paragoomba, Fuzzy, Spiny, Buzzy Beetle, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Eep Cheep, Blooper, Urchin and Peepa. The starter course, along with the expansion sets and character / power-up packs hit stores on August 1st.

With today’s announcement, 16 LEGO Super Mario sets have been introduced and I am really looking forward to seeing how people’s play expands with these and the unique Power-Up Packs. Each player’s preferences and imagination are different. By adding already owned LEGO bricks onto the Starter Course, and different LEGO Super Mario expansion sets, we hope that people can create various different Mario worlds and continue enjoying them indefinitely,” said Takashi Tezuka, Executive Officer and Game Producer of Nintendo Co., Ltd.
