The color of this set is that the characters adopt a classic pixel style. The front of the box shows Mario riding Yoshi on a grass field, which seems to take us back to that game world full of fantasy adventures.
Mario wears a red hat, blue top and red pants. The classic look is very eye-catching. Another eye-catching thing is the yellow cape on his back, which is like the addition of props in the Super Mario game.
It’s the same. It reminds me of when I used to play the video game Super Mario. I once got a prop that allowed Mario to put on a cape and fly into the sky like Superman. It felt really cool! Yoshi’s design is also very cute, with vivid green skin, big eyes and long tongue.
The back of the box shows another feature of this set. The crank next to the control base allows the model to move. Yoshi’s feet swing back and forth, making it look like he is running on the grass. The mouth will also open and stick out a long tongue, which looks very cute.
When builders are done building, this set also stands as a beautiful display piece. The model, amongst others such as The Mighty Bowser and Piranha Plant from the LEGO Super Mario line, is also part of the ‘Adults Welcome’ series. This range is designed to bring fond memories to all LEGO fans who remember Super Mario as an essential part of their childhood.
Watch the video below to see the model in action.
After watching the video, you will definitely be amused by the vivid movements of this model. From the front, the pixel-style Mario and Yoshi seem to jump out of the screen, full of childlike fun.
However, when you turn to the back of the model, there is a feeling of “disillusionment”. The originally beautiful pixel world has been replaced by mechanical moving mechanisms. This makes people smile: Who would be willing to show the back of such a cute model to others? Although these mechanisms are not beautiful, they are the key to making the model move. This also reflects the ingenuity of LEGO designers.
Personal opinion
For Super Mario fans and LEGO enthusiasts, this is a model worth collecting. You can place this model on desks, cabinets, etc. as an interesting decoration, as if the classic scenes from childhood games have been brought to real life. In addition to display, this model can also be used to play some simple games. Keep turning the crank. Every time you watch the continuously moving Mario and cute Yoshi, it can evoke countless good memories and make people smile.
