Back in April, we reported a rumor that there was an upcoming 18+ Super Mario LEGO set that would be “the biggest yet,” with a total of 2,807 pieces — almost 800 more than the NES and 150 more than the Question Mark Block Set.
That rumor has now been confirmed as The Mighty Bowser, which will tower over LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi at a total of 32 cm (12.5 inches) tall.
Mighty Bowser comes with plenty of cool inclusions, from “new for October 2022” bricks that replicate King Koopa’s spikes to a fireball launcher and a button that controls his head and neck movements. You will also be able to post his hands and fingers.
“The addition of LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser is truly a blast from the past for many older LEGO fans. He may be the big boss, but he still brings back a warm sense of nostalgia to older Super Mario fans around the world. Just as defeating Bowser has always been the ultimate challenge in Super Mario games, here we challenge fans to build the King of the Koopas from nearly 3,000 pieces. We know they’re up to the task and will be fighting to get their hands on this awesome new addition to the Super Mario line.” – Carl Merriam, Senior Designer, LEGO Super Mario
Other features include:
- A hidden POW block
- Two towers for Bowser to knock down
- Possibility to combine the set with the LEGO Super Mario starter course
- An action tag that will allow Mario, Luigi, or Peach to fight Bowser
Hopefully there will be some great secrets to find like the other sets!
Mighty Bowser costs $269.99 and releases on October 1, 2022.
