3.5 Stars
This set comes with two square base plates and a 2 x 4 plate to connect them together. One side holds the replacement dungarees for Mario and the other is a replacement cap for him. There is a little bit of built detailing on each plate but not a particularly large amount. Build instructions are included on a printed fold out leaflet.
YOU DO NEED THE MARIO START COURSE OR THE LUIGI STARTER COURSE TO USE THE SUIT.
Here's the thing though - how on earth are you supposed to use the suits when playing the game in the App? The app only gives you 60 seconds and extra time blocks are few and far between. Honestly, just setting up with the starter pipe and the end flag I struggled to get Mario in to his new suit and moving about within the 60 second time limit.
This is why they are marked down, if you got an instant time boost when putting the suit on then fair enough it would be worth it but other than that they really are purely decorative.
The bee detailing on this set is okay, I do like that the back of the dungarees has a little print that looks like the rump of a bee. The little antenna on the hat are super cute though. This is perhaps the best realised concept for the suit though, the sound effect of the buzzing when Mario jumps and then hovers or flies is really fun and I did play with it for quite some time.
