@@SillyCat01 I know this is one year old, but I just want you to know: Copying this under every comment makes you seem like an annoying loser, especially since LEGO was aware of this.
I wasn't really convinced until I saw all the little hidden things in the castle and the hidden Bowser. Now I'll probably get it and maybe try to design a few micro-stages of my own. I've already got a few ideas for Whomp's Fortress, Big Boo's Haunt, and Rainbow Ride!
Did you get to it in the end? I'm getting the cube this week, but curious to see what other courses would look like. An even bigger challenge would be reusing the same pieces! :)
Even cooler it is a typo. It was suppose to be an explamation mark for the winged cap. There is no question mark in mario 64. Lego messed up. Lmao. Very few exist unopened. Tbis thing is going to be worth a lot of money. So funny...
@@SillyCat01 They chose the ?-Block, because it's the most recognizable block in the whole Super Mario franchise. Sure, it's not an !-Block, but to be honest a ?-Block fits it better.
I really like the detail that the question mark itself has studs showing, instead of having plates on it. Accents it well and shows that it’s a lego model
Love that the scannable tile represents the stained glass mural on the floor. In the game, when you unlock the wing cap you stand on that mural and look up to enter the first flying course. Love that detail with the printed piece!
I could see them doing expansions with the other worlds as small sets if they think the concept is worth it. something like being able to adapt the individual worlds to either stand out on their own or integrate them into the hinged side panels where Bob-omb Battlefield and Cool Cool Mountain stick out. I don't think it would be possible to change out Lethal Lava Land since it looks pretty well integrated into the box itself, but being able to set two of the worlds out like that could be interesting regardless. could even come with a 1x1 tile painting of the world to swap out inside the castle itself as well. I do have to say, the slide being inside Cool Cool Mountain is a pleasant treat - I didn't think they'd go for detail like that. that and the way Bowser is integrated was also well done. I wouldn't say those parts alone would get people interested in buying the set based on what else was shown off, but it's certainly not a bad thing to have either. Probably gonna pick this up when I get some money in from work. Great review.
I'm thinking of trying to build a Big Boo's Haunt behind the castle somehow since it's in the garden in the game, and maybe try to put a Rainbow Ride above. Either that or try to use the back panel for some extra building space.
I wonder if anyone could mod this to look like an actual Mario 64 exclamation block. Would be so cool if they released this as a series, using block designs along with mini level designs for each game, but they really dropped the ball making it a regular Super Mario Bros. block, especially considering how much attention to detail is put into the rest of this set.
There was no question block in mario 64. It was suppose to be an explanation mark for the winged cap. This is so funny. Lego did a huge typo. I heard nintendo is pissed off.
@@SillyCat01 It wasn't a mistake, I believe in the instructions they mention that despite the lack of a question block in Mario 64, they used the design anyway because it's so iconic
I recently got back into Lego from this set alone, enjoyed every minute building the block under two days. Yoshi being behind the castle is what pushed me to get this set, the designers put an insane amount of detail here and I hope to see more Nintendo and Lego sets in the future. Pokemon is a money printing idea.
I can see them creating a series like this with different designs for the blocks, each one with different world dioramas because there's both a lot of different blocks in the series as well as locales, though considering what I'm seeing, Super Mario 64 lends itself the best to this due to the nature of the self-contained levels, with the only other real comparable ones coming from Galaxy and _maybe_ Sunshine. Hell, cashing on this one, they can easily create 4 more Super Mario 64 ones based on the different colored ! Blocks from the game.
Amazing set., one of my favorites. Funny story, I actually got this at Target for a price/deal meant for the Airship, which they honored since the Block didn't have a price tag on the shelf *at all*. So even though this thing is $169.99 new, I got it for a crisp $79.99. Which is absolutely insane.
Fun fact, you're wrong. Mario is one brick too high to fit. 2:11 Mario is 4 high, the castle entrance is 3.5 high at the front of the slope and on 3 high at the back.
I was sooooo Exited to find out what was hidden in the block, and now that i know that it was bowser and the platform that you had to grab bowser and spin him by his tail is very cool. I was waiting for this review for almost a week and know that it is here i am very happy to finally see it 😀
The first thought I have is could you modify it to have an '!' on the sides instead of a '?' as Mario 64 used '!' 3D boxes. Would you only need a few more flat top yellow tiles?
The bottom really, really should’ve been filled out for when you hand it to a friend to show them. A display piece that is interactive encourages playing with it, not just looking at it in a fixed position and state.
I bought it assuming the bottom was filled in and was very disappointed when I noticed it wasn't. However, it seems like it may be possible to buy the yellow bricks and fill in the bottom with some slight restructuring. Probably be a lot of work actually. ARG
I can see them making more if this sells enough, there are so many iconic areas in this game, plus there’s a huge opportunity to make hat-specific versions for each and have some of those iconic areas represented for each (like Boo’s Haunt for blue, Hazy Maze for green, Rainbow Road for red, etc.) this could really take off
Nobody is talking about this but from what it looks like, it comes with two clear lightsaber blades! What is rare because I think they were in a lego Harry Potter set once in 2007 what only came with one! Definitely gonna try and buy this
I wasn't born when this game came out but when I was 5 my dad showed me his old nintendo 64 and it was my first mario game I ever played and I think I was 8 or 9 when I finally finished the game so you best believe I'm getting this
Omg you’re amazing! Your side eye to that Barcelona set had me dying! I wasn’t a big Mario player back in the day but your review had me considering this block. Thank you
I wish it was massive and had more than one opening side, don't know how possible this is but imagine it had 9 scenes instead of 3 Edit, or more realistically having two opposing faces that open like this one and then a smaller popup scene on each of the four other faces
Excellent review again! We were/are still Mario addicts, and although this set is cleverly built and cute as well - even far better than I expected - it's low-ranked on the lego wish list here. We'd rather play the game. LOL
I just bought the NES set and finished the console portion. It was an amazing build! It's been ages since I've built a set, and the first time I've built a large scale set that doesn't have minifigures. I kept telling myself, "one more bag," and next thing I know, I have 8 open bags and a complete console. The TV portion looks even better. As for this set, they could easily make this a series, similar to the Hogwarts House books. They could do POW blocks, brick blocks, ! blocks, etc. Each one could contain more SM64 levels, or be based on other games entirely.
@@TiagoCatarino Got this video in my suggestions, so I'm just following up that it looks like Lego did add two more Hogwarts Moment book builds to their series, along with the Magical Trunk, which also hides a playset inside. Meanwhile, Lego will release Bowser as the next large Mario set, and I've been saving up for that one. I did pick up the Visit From Santa set as a Christmas decoration. I've eyed it on the shelf at Target for the past few months, and I figured it would be gone if I tried to actually buy it after Thanksgiving.
I would suggest Lego follow up the NES replica with the Super Nintendo, but since the USA and PAL regions had two different variants of the SNES, that would be troublesome to work around.
At first I thought this was going to just be an bad Lego set that was just overpriced, but today I went to my friends house and he had this set, I was playing around with it and it was SICK, the way it folds is so fun and cool, and the micro Mario map and models are sick. So I just went to amazon and bought myself one. I can’t wait
I love this set so much they are pleasing both young and old fans. With mario theme though we would appreciate minifig scale sets but we can wait these sets are so cool
I´m not a huge fan of Mario but it´s a great set from the technical perspective. Cool part usage and I`m heavily interested in a livebuild stream. Thanks for your review!
Transformers more than meets the eye, I got the reference. I knew right from the second you said more than meets the eye that this set was going to transform
I'm very excited about this set! I really am enjoying how detailed they are with it and can't wait to (hopefully) snag mine! Now just to clear off some room for it to go on my shelf.

What's up Nathaniel Bandy
You should! The NES as well! They're both amazing LEGO sets!
How the question block triggers you!
I wasn't really convinced until I saw all the little hidden things in the castle and the hidden Bowser. Now I'll probably get it and maybe try to design a few micro-stages of my own. I've already got a few ideas for Whomp's Fortress, Big Boo's Haunt, and Rainbow Ride!
Are you still going to do it and do you have an Instagram or something?
Aye nice! If you do that, I'd love to see it!

I have to see them!
Did you ever make them?
this set actually has a few more polygons that SM64
😂

To start I was definitely not impressed with this set but that drop and fold out are absolutely insane!
Right?! Pretty sure it must have been crazy hard to design!
As in the battlefield? would love to hear further

I agree!
Oh man thanks!! :) For this one comment, it was worth it all the work :)
Hello Chubby Bots. Your my favorite Moc TH-camr!

Ok, I take every word I said back, it's better than I expected. But still, no minifigures xd
Told you... You're too quick to judge! :P
Good that you are not a boomer
Ok
Ya me too hachiroku this set is lit
I wanted a minifigure.... not big minifigure....
For anyone who grew up with that game, this seems like an extremely satisfying set.
This has to be one of the coolest sets I've ever seen. This is the perfect love letter to fans of Mario 64. Brilliant review, man.
Even cooler it is a typo.

Great, knowledgable review, Tiago! I always wondered what would be inside - thanks for the coverage!
Glad you enjoyed it man! It was particularly hard to get all the details, and I'm sure I missed a few as I never played the game!
Y I'm up j I'm UN
This set is so freaking amazing! So many details and references in such a tiny build, I love it!

Omg you’re amazing! Your side eye to that Barcelona set had me dying! I wasn’t a big Mario player back in the day but your review had me considering this block. Thank you
When there’s this much detail in a microscale set, you know I’ll be all over it; the block is just a bonus
At first I though “wow, that looks cool. I’m good without it though.”
Then I saw all the little details. NEED
5:16 come to think of it that would be really cool and I would hope to think that Nintendo and lego are going to do this that would be sick!!!
