After three years, Lego Super Mario lineup It’s still going strong, finally adding Princess Peach to its starter game list last summer and continuing to release new expansions ever since. He Fliprus Snow Adventure Expansion Setavailable now, it’s a blast from the more recent past, showing an enemy from 2012 New Super Mario Bros U. With the International Toy Fair on ice for the past few years, the chances of seeing these games in person have been few and far between, but we got a glimpse of them at a recent industry event in New York.
He Princess Peach Starter Set it was announced a year ago, on March 10 (also known as Mario Day or “March 10 Day”), and has been available since August. The $60 set is the same price as the Mario and Luigi starter sets, though you’ll likely see them on sale more often since they’re older. In addition to the Bluetooth-connected Peach figure, the pack also includes Lemmy Koopa and a yellow toad. Also unique to the set is a flower-adorned swing: when the Peach figure is placed on the seat and pushed, she collects “coins” each time she passes over the sensor.
Like the Mario and Luigi figures, Peach has LED eyes and a small screen on her chest. The eyes are very expressive, if not a haunting little valley, but no worse than what we’re getting in the next Super Mario Bros.
