LEGO Peach brings her recognizable voice and sound effects to the LEGO Super Mario Universe. All three interactive figures will now be available in separate Starter Courses – or entry points into the world of LEGO Super Mario. With the Adventures with Peach Starter Course, fans can earn digital coins and discover various reactions by helping the princess ride the swing set and open gifts, while defeating enemies like Lemmy and a Lava Bubble, or befriending a Yellow Toad. The interactive LEGO Peach, LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi figures are able to connect with one another via Bluetooth (two at a time), where players can greet each other, celebrate, and team up to defeat enemies - earning bonus digital coins by working together. Dual-player action earns more coins, making it even more fun to play together with others. With the August release, the interactive figures will also be able to trigger positive reactions by eating fruits found across the new sets or gifting fruits to other characters - that’s sure to add even more fun to the adventures in the LEGO Super Mario universe. The castle's front doors have some simple detailing, including gold cupcakes for handles, and are hinged and easily pushed open, allowing enough space for our oversized protagonist to pass through. The curved white pieces forming part of the door frame seem to be a new mould. Billund, March 10 2022: The LEGO Group announced that LEGO® Peach™ will be entering the universe of LEGO® Super Mario™, a product line developed together with Nintendo. LEGO Peach joins LEGO® Mario™ and LEGO® Luigi™ for fans to continue to build out their very own LEGO Super Mario adventures. Players will now be able to power up their adventure with even more fun options with the iconic princess when the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Peach Starter Course becomes available from August 1st 2022. Compared to last year's 71391 Bowser's Airship, which is only a couple of hundred pieces smaller, it feels like it adds significantly more value to the way the courses are designed for the app-based game. There's a large number of tiles to scan, obstacles to overcome, and interactivity.
The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Characters Princess Peach's castle itself consists of a few parts: the main doors, flanked by a pair of walls containing small towers, and the castle proper with the throne room and the main tower. LEGO® and Nintendo have teamed up to create an all-new LEGO® Super Mario. Kids can now bring their favourite characters into the real world with collectable LEGO® Super Mario toys! This latest wave in the ever-growing Lego Super Mario range is listed in full below. All sets arrive 1st August. Defending the castle from the outside is Ludwig von Koopa, a rather stylish chap with fabulous blue hair. Apparently, he's Bowser's second-in-command, and hasn't appeared in any set in the theme yet. He wields a blue magic wand, and the face printing is accurate to the source material, from the blue eyebrows down to his single large tooth.The action begins with the Adventures with Mario or Luigi Starter Course sets, featuring the highly interactive LEGO® Luigi or Mario figure. LEGO® Mario reacts in a variety of ways as he meets enemies and collects coins.
Update: looks like the reveal was a little early, and they’ve deleted the post – but thankfully, I’ve managed to save the images! Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Other sets announced today include: a LEGO Super Mario Yoshi’s Gift House Expansion Set, which offers fans a way to say hello to Yoshi, go for a spin on the Treat Carousel and eat yummy fruits to trigger happy reactions and earn coins. Also revealed today and available from August 1st are the LEGO Super Mario Fuzzy Flippers Expansion Set, LEGO Super Mario Cat Peach Suit and Frozen Tower Expansion Set, LEGO Super Mario Goomba’s Shoe Expansion Set and the LEGO Super Mario Big Spike’s Cloudtop Challenge Expansion Set. The "Mario and Luigi" RPGs were made under license by another studio which went bankrupt, Nintendo didn't ever fully own the series, and it's unknown who has the rights now. I particularly like the printed stained-glass window that sits above the throne room at the top of the main castle tower.
The Castle
There aren’t any details yet, but more LEGO Super Mario Expansion sets are coming, which includes a new LEGO Princess Peach Playable character, joining LEGO Luigi and Mario.
Inside the castle there are a handful of smaller builds. A 4x4 tile decorated with the sun pattern sits just behind the doors, once again accurate to the one seen in Super Mario 64 when Mario first enters the Mushroom Castle. A small round table holds some fruit (including one Peach can scan), and there's a suspiciously large cake. Clearly the flagship set for the theme this year, 71408 Princess Peach's Castle is an impressively large set when laid out in its entirety ready to play. Although composed of a number of smaller disparate builds, like the majority of the Mario expansion sets, they're all tied together well into one cohesive castle.
Externally, the two wall sections are identical mirror images of each other. Internally, however, they differ. The right-hand section is the most interactive, featuring a large painting hanging on the wall! Long-time fans of Super Mario will recognise this as the first warp painting in Super Mario 64, through which Mario can travel to access Bob-omb Battlefield, one of the mini worlds within the game. And last but not least, we get Ludwig Von Koopa, who is included in the Princess Peach Castle! Hopefully this signals more Koopalings to come! Bowser has, that's what! He can be placed in front of the doors, his little tail resting on the chain (there's a reason for this), and glaring menacingly at Peach as she enters the room. Scanning the tile in front of Bowser starts playing the boss music from the game.
Stamping on the front half of the bridge flattens it out, revealing the barcode tile used to interact with Toadette. It's the standard "friend" tile, where you can say hello, gather a few coins, drop off a gift, etc.Update (10/3): LEGO have officially announced and revealed the entire lineup of Summer 2022 LEGO Super Mario sets! The old RPG Mario games were made for an older target audience than most Mario games, the LEGO theme included
