Avid retro gaming enthusiasts alike are sure to welcome the news of the LEGO Super Mario World Mario & Yoshi set as the latest collaboration between the building block brand and Nintendo. The set boasts a total of 1,215 pieces that will combine to recreate the image of Mario riding Yoshi just like he would in the classic Super Mario World video game from 1991. The pixelated nature of the final product has an authentic look and feel given the 8-bit style of the video game that fans will likely be eager to display.
The LEGO Super Mario World Mario & Yoshi set is priced at $129.99 and will be available for purchase starting October 1, 2024 ahead of the holiday shopping season.
