LEGO Super Mario: First Sets, Release Date and Prices Revealed

The first sets to launch as part of Nintendo's LEGO Super Mario collaboration have been revealed, arriving on August 1 - and you can pre-order the core set now. The Adventures with Mario Starter Course is the entry point, and every other set will require it to fucntion properly. The Starter course includes the interactive Mario figure, as well as 7 "action brick" types that won't be found in any other set. It's available to pre-order for $59.99. The Starter Course can be combined with Expansion Sets. The first of these sets revealed are the Piranha Plant Power Slide Expansion Set ($29.99) and the Bowser's Castle Boss Battle Expansion Set ($99.99) The sets are themed but described as modular, suggesting that players can create their own levels with the disparate parts. You can see all the announced sets in the gallery below.

The app will keep track of your score as you build and rebuild sets and allow players to use zoom and rotate tools to ease the build process. It will also be home to your building instructions for the purchased sets. Announced last month, the LEGO Super Mario series will feature Mario collecting coins in physical levels that players will create with sets of LEGO bricks. The Mario figure included in the set features LCD screens in his eyes, mouth, and belly, which react to action bricks he comes into contact with.

Alongside this LEGO assortment, a suite of remasters of classic Mario games like Super Mario Sunshine are reportedly in development for the Nintendo Switch.
