Just like the in-game ‘?’ blocks, this brick-built one also hides a couple of secrets. In an odd twist of fate, Super Mario 64 never actually featured ‘?’ blocks. This LEGO version is more similar to the ‘?’ block design first found in Super Mario Galaxy. Like many aspects of the Mario games, its design has been iterated upon over the years. In fact, the goody-filled block debuted in the very first Super Mario Game.

But that’s not the only secrets to be found inside the iconic piece of Mario memorabilia.
Although a microscale castle is featured in the new set, it’s actually housed with a giant ‘?’ block. Rumours of a second D2C set have been rife for a while now with many assuming it would be a microscale version of Princess Peach’s Royal Castle. But one of the most memorable LEGO moments so far has been the incredible brick-built Nintendo Entertainment System, that is until now. In recent times Mario has made the leap from pixel to brick in the LEGO Super Mario range of sets, which allow you to bring levels to life with a series of expansion sets. The iconic platforming plumber has even found time for a spot of tennis, the occasional kick-a-bout and plenty of high-speed racing.
Whether he’s basking in Sunshine, blasting across the Galaxy or simply on an Odyssey, Mario has been delighting gamers for over 35 years.
