Four new Super Mario Donkey Kong sets have been announced by Lego and Nintendo.
With the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie earlier this month, Lego has continued to expand its Nintendo universe with sets featuring Super Mario, and now, Donkey Kong (a major character in the movie) joins the lineup. There will be four new sets available starting August 1, each featuring Donkey Kong and some of his family members, including Cranky, Diddy, Dixie, and Funky.
The four expansion sets are Donkey Kong’s Tree House Expansion Set, Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride Expansion Set, Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam Expansion Set, and Rambi the Rhino Expansion Set.
Lego Group design director Simon Kent writes in a press release, “The excitement around the LEGO Super Mario franchise continues to grow as we welcome the iconic Donkey Kong to the series.”. “I am looking forward to seeing how the four Expansion Sets inspire kids to explore the new jungle from the Donkey Kong universe, whether they hang out in the tree house, ride a mine cart, jam out with Dixie Kong, or explore with Rambi.”
