LEGO Mario can find hidden Power Stars in 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block

Just like last year’s 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System, the newly-revealed 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block is compatible with the digital LEGO Mario and Luigi figures.

While the oversized figures are nowhere near to scale with the brand new 2,046-piece set – which recreates classic Super Mario 64 levels in microscale – they can still interact with its fold-out dioramas. At a surface level, adding either Mario or Luigi (or both) to the set will activate unique music and sound effects, much like the rolling TV screen in 2020’s NES.

The interactive gameplay actually runs a little deeper in 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block, though: seeking out the 10 Power Stars hidden throughout the build triggers unique reactions from the digital figures. From the wording of the set description, the location of those Power Stars won’t be immediately obvious, and will instead need to be deciphered from its building instructions.

That’s a slightly more involved twist than the one in 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System, and adds a little more value to both 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block and the starter courses, including 71360 Adventures with Mario and 71387 Adventures with Luigi.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
