A couple of weeks ago LEGO surprised us with the release of a new set inspired by Super Mario y Nintendo. On this occasion, the design sought to pay homage to one of the best games in the brand's history, since Super Mario 64 marked a new era in the Mario saga with its three-dimensional design. But did you think we had seen everything around the set?
A cube with surprises
the new set Super Mario 64? blocks surprised LEGO and Nintendo fans with a very particular construction. Shaped like a question mark cube (the unmistakable block that debuted with the first NES Super Mario Bros.), this construction hides inside a miniature recreation of some of the most emblematic levels of Super Mario 64, but apparently, it seems that LEGO had hidden a surprise that we could only see if we assembled the cube.
That's what the web has revealed Brick Set, that after receiving a unit of the new set, he hurried to assemble it to be able to comment on all the novelties and curiosities that it offers. One of the novelties is the addition of a rounded piece for the corners of the cube, a completely new piece that has been created especially for the set. It is a 2×2 block with a rounded corner that comes in yellow.

With this piece unfolded, the cube can be closed again to fully open the mini-world and show all the levels created, with Peach's castle as the main attraction.
A secret to discover

Well, BrickSet has published some images with which it reveals the best kept secret of LEGO. Bowser is hiding inside!
As we can see, a drop-down table hidden in one of the sides reveals Mario's greatest enemy, who in turn is in charge of opening a secret door that displays the final scenario in which Mario and Bowser face each other at the end of the game. game. And it is that after seeing all the elements and characters that the set offered, it was clear that Bowser could not be missing!
