Lego Mario Creativity Makers featured

I bought this set because it allows you to make your own tracks. If you already have the starter set for Mario, because that's what you'll need if you buy this set, because the LEGO Mario character is not in this set, then I think this is the first set that you should buy as an expansion pack.

Overall rating

There's a lot to do here. You have a few enemies, such as a big pink turtle and an extra Goomba. There is also a Goomba in the Mario Starter Set.

And you also have some nice extras that aren't in the basic runway, like a mushroom that makes Mario bigger.

It doesn't grow physically, of course, but it makes the sound you hear when you jump on it. And you also have a small gift. And then you will get a random item.

You have little Yoshi, who is also my favorite character, and I think most people's favorite character.

And you also have some small apples and things for Mario to collect. So there are some nice extra bonuses here that you can use.

There are also a lot of these extra bits that you can connect the lanes with. So this is a set that really allows you to expand your jobs.

It says 6+ on the box, but you can build it with 4-year-olds if you don't mind a little help every now and then.

About the set

The set includes many backgrounds such as grass, lava and desert structures, as well as three characters. It contains buildable LEGO-trees, flowers, hills, mushrooms, pyramids, signs and a checkpoint flag, as well as elements such as clouds and bushes.

So many background items are great fun for building your own tracks, but less fun to build because it's very repetitive.

Every tree, bush, mushroom and cloud is put together in exactly the same way, so my son, for example, was tired of building everything halfway through.

Lego Mario Creativity Makers repeatedly

Some reviewers commented that it wasn't clear that this set doesn't include a Mario character, which can be a disappointment if you're giving it as a gift. Comments have also been made about the lack of printed instructions and the fact that you need an app to get the building instructions.
