The Super Mario Bros. Movie clip links to multiple LEGO sets

Illumination has released a first full clip of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with footage revealing the film’s connection to multiple LEGO sets.

Last night’s The Game Awards event featured the debut of numerous trailers, including Electronic Arts’ upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Also making an appearance was a first full clip from next year’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with the Chris Pratt voiced Nintendo film due to arrive on April 7, 2023.

Following two previous trailers, the latest footage features a whole sequence from the animated adventure, with Mario getting to explore the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time with Captain Toad as his guide. The clip packs in many Easter eggs and fun references to previous Super Mario video games and also reflects characters and environments included in multiple LEGO Super Mario sets.

Keep an eye out for gold coin blocks that appear in 71360 Adventures with Mario Starter Course and 71412 Big Bad Island Expansion Set, yellow and green warp pipes to be found in 71390 Reznor Knockdown Expansion Set and 71403 Adventures with Peach Starter Course, and even (an albeit grander version of) 71408 Peach’s Castle Expansion Set.

Multiple versions of the Green Toad figure from 71413 Character Packs – Series 6 can be seen in the trailer, Toad’s mushroom house from 71419 Peach’s Garden Balloon Ride makes an appearance and numerous elements from 71418 Creativity Toolbox Maker can also be spotted.

In total there are currently seven new LEGO Super Mario sets due to launch on January 1, 2023, with The Super Mario Bros. Movie then arriving in cinemas from April 7, 2023.
