Unlike previous contests I have run, where the build could easily speak for itself, this time we received entries in a variety of formats: Photos, videos and text explanations (including an explanation of game play, as well as scoring schemes for the expansion). some were created digitally, some were created with Super Mario elements that they already had, and some were put together using their own bricks! However, that didn’t stop people from submitting over 20 entries.

The sets had just hit the market, and people were still exploring what the system is capable of. When I asked the question ‘What’s next for LEGO Super Mario?’ last month, I had no idea what sort of response we would have.
