It will interact with Lego Mario, Luigi, and Peach from other Lego building sets.
The Lego Group revealed the latest building set in its Lego Super Mario line: The Mighty Bowser.
The Mighty Bowser building set will allow players to build a large figure of Bowser, the popular baddie from the Super Mario video games. The Mighty Bowser building set will include 2,807 pieces, and it will have an age rating of 18+.
Once Bowser is built, fans will be able to press buttons to move Bowser’s head left and right, and pull a trigger to open Bowser’s mouth. If fans pull the trigger completely, Bowser will shoot a fireball piece out of its mouth.
Finally, the Mighty Bowser set will be able to interact with the electronic Lego Mario, Lego Luigi, and Lego Peach figures that are also part of the Lego Super Mario product line. (The Lego Peach figure will be included in the Adventures with Peach Starter Course that’s launching on August 1, 2022.) Fans will be able to place these figures on the set’s base to activate an imaginary battle between the character and Bowser (you can see how this works in the video above).
The Lego Super Mario: The Mighty Bowser set will be released on Lego’s website and at “select” stores around the world on October 1, 2022 for $269.99.
