Adventures with Interactive LEGO Mario

The LEGO Super Mario playsets allow you to build your own Mario courses. You use an LED Mario figurine to scan barcodes on enemies and obstacles, which creates audio feedback like music and classic Mario sounds. The coins you collect are tallied in an app, which syncs to Mario and documents your progress.

This is the most recent starter set that comes with the Mario LED figure; all the other expansion sets will not "work" without it. It also comes with other essentials: a starting pipe, a Yoshi figure, a flagpole, and a Bowser, Jr. figure that rides inside a Junior Clown Car.

LEGO Piranha Plant

We built this set for its launch, and it managed to over deliver on its promise. The LEGO Piranha Plant has personality and adorability to spare, and its price belies its quality. It's rare to feel like you're ever getting a deal when you buy a LEGO set. But this Piranha in a pipe is reasonably priced and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi

One of the best, most nostalgic LEGO sets in recent memory, this depiction of Mario & Yoshi moves with the turn of the crank. And it's not just Yoshi's feet – it's his head and arm, as well as Mario's cape. A separate mechanism triggers Yoshi to open his mouth and stick out his tongue. It's also nearly 16 inches tall, so the bright, 16-bit colors really pop. It's a great set that comes straight from our overall favorite Mario game ever made.
