Gabe- In my opinion, The Lego Mario Starter Course was good because the LEGO Mario made funny sounds and was enjoyable to play with and you can make a lot of different structures with your set. Mrs.Lee- In my opinion, The Lego Mario Starter Course was an excellent starter set for me to re-discover my love for LEGO building and construction. Gabe- I liked that Mario had a lot of different animations and that it wasn't boring and it was always interesting. One thing I liked about it was the way it knew what it was touching, like if you put it on the red Lego it would set on fire or if you put it on something that's red, it would do the same thing. I also like how when you back flip Mario, Mario would make sounds and if you bounce Mario up he will collect coins. Lastly, when you get Junior or Cooper- if you bounce on Junior’s shell or on Cooper's head, you can defeat them and collect coins and that seemed really fun to me. I like Lego Mario because it was very enjoyable and I had a lot of fun playing and building. Mrs.Lee- In my opinion, I liked being able to use the digital instruction manual the most. Instead of having a paper instruction manual, we were able to download the Super Mario App which had all of the directions for us step by step with diagrams. We were able to prop up our phones and move through the different parts of each building sequence. The diagrams were colorful, clear, and even animated in some parts. It was a nice way to save paper and collect all the information in one place! The app also had many other features- like a photo gallery where you could save pictures of your creations. I really enjoyed interacting with the digital instruction guide and app on my phone during this project! Gabe- What I disliked the most was that there was no real instructions on how to build the full castle. There was only instructions on how to build the parts. I wish there was instructions on how to build a prototype castle with the pieces. If Lego improved this starter kit I would tell them to make a mini castle diagram so if people don't want to make their own, they can make that one. Also, I would advise LEGO to make a diagram of a kingdom with all the pieces combined together. The thing I disliked about the Lego Mario Starter Course is that they didn't add a full build through of the set. Mrs.Lee- I didn’t really dislike anything about this starter set! But, if I had to pick something, I would say that it was easy to build all of the individual portions of the course, but much harder to put them together into a full course. I felt confused once it got to the end about how to assemble all the pieces to make a larger starter course. I ended up just being creative with how I wanted to place the pieces together to make a cool, fun, and interesting course for Mario to move through. I think adding this an example picture to follow would be a nice addition for all LEGO builders! Tips 1. Open just the bag that the instructions tell you to. Don’t open them all at once. 2. The instructions don’t tell you everything! Use your brain! 3. And at the end use your imagination 4. Be prepared with a screwdriver and batteries for your set. 5. Don't break or slam your set it so you can be careful not to break anything. 6. Always check the floor for runaway pieces if you have to clean up before you are done. 7. Make sure to download the Super Mario App before you start building. 8. Turn off MARIO when you are not using him so he does drain batteries.
