Lego adds Super Mario 64 question mark block with tiny worlds inside

Lego has announced a $ 169.99 question mark block set based on Super Mario 64 Thursday morning. But it’s not just an expensive big yellow cube with punctuation on the side. No, just like the question mark blocks in the Mushroom Kingdom, this Lego set hides something magical inside. With a delicate touch, builders can open the question mark block to reveal four mini-sets, each designed after a world in Mario’s classic Nintendo 64.

The trailer for the question mark block set makes it look like some sort of magic – a small, plastic pocket dimension that contains childhood memories – but it’s actually just about a complex system of rotating panels and locks. Worlds sit above the question mark block when you view or play them, and fold into the block when you’re done.

The small diorama features four of the unique levels of Super Mario 64. There’s the classic Peach Castle, alongside Bob-omb Battlefield, Cool Cool Mountain, and Lethal Lava Trouble. The set includes several minimalist Mario characters including Yoshi, Peach, King Bob-omb, Chain Chomp, a Big Bully, that creepy eye, the plumber himself, and more. Players who own the interactive Lego Mario or Lego Luigi can place these characters on the board to find 10 hidden Power Stars.

Question mark block measures over 7 inches high, wide and deep. It comes with 2,064 pieces and is recommended for adults 18 years and older. Lego and Super Mario 64 fans can pick up the set on October 1.
