Lego Super Mario is levelling up, before it is even released

Overnight Lego and Nintendo announced DLC for the upcoming Super Mario Lego sets that are hitting stores on August 1st. While not required for play, they will change up how you use the existing sets, check them out in action below.

Local pricing has been confirmed and the sets will be $13 each, which is far under the expected $20 I thought they would be.

Here is a brief explanation on each of the sets:

Fire Mario Power-Up Pack

When LEGO® Mario™ is powered up with this suit, he can gain Fire Attack power - a new way to attack enemies and collect extra coins.

Propeller Mario Power-Up Pack  

Propeller sounds are triggered when players dress LEGO® Mario™ in this suit and make him ‘fly’ to try and win coins. The propeller suit allows LEGO Mario™ to take to the skies, making new sounds as he soars through the air and collects coins. Take LEGO Mario™ on an action-packed flight and turn your living room into a giant LEGO Super Mario™ level!

Cat Mario Power-Up Pack

This suit gives LEGO® Mario™ cat-like skills. Dress him in the special pants and cap and he’ll start to meow and purr. Wearing this suit gives Cat Mario™ the special power to walk up vertical obstacles and collect coins. It’s the purr-fect way to have even more fun with the LEGO Super Mario™ levels.

Builder Mario Power-Up Pack

When LEGO® Mario™ is wearing this suit, players can earn digital coins by making him stomp hard on LEGO bricks in the course they have created. The more he stomps, the more coins you win! It’s a brick-bashingly brilliant way to have even more fun with the LEGO Super Mario™ levels.
