Nintendo and LEGO have collaborated on a new toyline based on the long-running
Super Mario video game series. While just a teaser was released earlier this week (which didn't reveal a whole lot); they've now released a full-blown reveal trailer which shows off all there is to the upcoming LEGO sets.
Unlike traditional sets, the new
LEGO Super Mario ones are particularly innovative and interactive. Similar to the
Super Mario Maker video game; you can use the new sets to create your own interactive
Super Mario levels. How are they interactive? Well, the LEGO Super Mario figure features a few displays and sensors which allow him to collect coins and the like.
Nintendo executive officer Takashi Tezuka explains (via
Gamefragger):
"The new product we created together with the LEGO Group seeks to combine two different styles of play. One where you freely build the world of Mario and the other where you play with Mario in the very world that you have created."
Then The LEGO Group's Julia Goldin:
"By seamlessly incorporating the latest digital technology, LEGO Super Mario is a highly social, interactive and collaborative experience for kids." Check out the reveal trailer below (via
