"Lego has been making Mario-themed sets since 2020. And for nearly six years now, the vast majority of these sets have been connected to Nintendo and Lego's best-selling interactive Super Mario theme. The line started with a boxy, brick-built Mario that contained a small screen and other sensors, allowing him to react to different Lego bricks and pieces."
"But none of these interactive playsets, nor other Mario-themed sets, included what many older Nintendo and Lego fans really wanted: A minifigure version of Mario. That changes in 2027."
Nintendo announced on March 10 that Lego Mario minifigures are coming in 2027 through a teaser video showing Mario emerging from a green pipe. Since 2020, Lego has produced Mario-themed sets, primarily featuring interactive electronic playsets with brick-built Mario figures containing screens and sensors that react to different pieces. These sets allowed children to build custom Mario levels. Over time, Lego expanded the interactive line with characters like Peach and Luigi. However, longtime Nintendo and Lego fans have long desired traditional minifigure versions of Mario. The 2027 release fulfills this demand with new sets that will diverge from the interactive playset format.
