Lego Tanooki Mario Power Up Pack 71385

 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 Tanooki suit was always my favourite in the Mario games because it was so cute looking.  This suit is a pretty good approximation of that and the racoon tail printed on the back of the dungarees is a nice nod to how the suit functions in the game.  Even better pick Mario up and spin him around and yep, super-spin attack activated.

Number Of Pieces: 13

Approximate Price Per Piece: £0.70

Build Time: Less than 5 minutes
