Lego Super Mario is a charming attempt at real-life 'Mario Maker'

Lego is no stranger to video game collaborations. The legendary brick maker has already developed sets based on Mojang's Minecraft phenomenon and Blizzard's popular Overwatch shooter, for instance. The company's upcoming Mario range is a little different, though. The sets replicate not only the visual splendor of the Mushroom Kingdom, but what it's like to play through levels with a controller or handheld console. The most important part of Lego's new product line is, unsurprisingly, Mario himself.
