Alright.
Found this LEGO Mario expansion set. And let me tell you, it's a bit of a trip down memory lane, but with bricks instead of bananas.
Now, picture this - you've got Mario, right? And he's on a quest to save Princess Peach from the clutches of that mischievous monkey, Donkey Kong. But before he can reach her castle, he's gotta navigate through the treacherous jungle and climb Donkey Kong's tree house. And that's where this LEGO set comes in. You've got these little LEGO bricks that you can stack up to build Donkey Kong's tree house, complete with swinging vines and bouncy platforms. And there's Mario, of course, jumping around and collecting coins like his life depends on it.
But here's the twist - this ain't your grandad's LEGO set. Oh no, this one's got all sorts of fancy electronics built in. You see, Mario's got this little sensor on the bottom of his feet, so when you move him around the LEGO course, he reacts to different obstacles and power-ups, just like in the video games. Now I'm not sure how they managed to fit all that tech into a tiny LEGO figure, but I reckon it's got something to do with magic. Or magnets. Or maybe a bit of both. So yeah, this expansion set is alright but it involves monkeys which makes it better.
Chimpanzee that.
These ones are also on sale as well, bit of a monkey bonus:
