LEGO 2021 / Super Mario Sets

LEGO Super Mario is a partnership between the LEGO Group and the Mario franchise and Nintendo featuring characters including Mario, Yoshi, Shy Guy, Piranha Plant, and Bowser Jr. and settings from the Nintendo Super Mario video games. The theme was release in the summer of 2020. In addition to the Super Mario theme, a LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System was also released as part of the partnership which consists of LEGO versions of the system itself, the controller, a Super Mario Bros. cartridge, and a television with a moving panorama depicting a level from the game.

2021 LEGO Sets

In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
