71367 Mario's House & Yoshi Expansion Set is a Super Mario set that was released on August 1, 2020.
Background
The Mario Bros.' House, also known as Mario's House or Mario's Pad, is a modest, cozy house inhabited by Mario and Luigi. Though its appearances are mostly found in earlier, more obscure games and installments, it does make occasional appearances in the modern-day series in games such as Paper Mario: Color Splash. Throughout the games, the layout as well as the location of the house seems to change, although it always provides a minor role in the storyline, particularly the prologue. The house can actually be explored in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, in which it contains a bathroom, upstairs bedroom, and kitchen. More often than not, however, the house has one room, a living area, with the interior seldom explored.
Description
The terrain, almost all of which is grassy, is mostly level and consists of five nodes connected by four plates. Mario’s house is based on the one from the Paper Mario subseries: an orange-walled structure with two sloping red roofs, a grey chimney emitting a cloud, a brown base and a wooden door complete with a grey lock, and a brownish doorstep. There is a round tile with ‘MARIO’ printed on it in red, hanging above the door, and a red mailbox, white fence, and arrow sign accompany the house outside. Nevertheless, Mario can open up the roof by simply stepping on the lower ends of the slopes, revealing a Star Block for him. The side-builds are a green node for a Goomba, another for Yoshi, and finally a hammock that attaches to a tree.
Yoshi’s action tile goes on the ground (rather than the head or back), and Mario can scan it to say ‘Hello (again)!’ or ‘It’s-a me!’ to Yoshi and collect a couple coins. The hammock hangs above a grey plate and is a striped, yellow and white cloth that attaches to four grey TECHNIC bulbs, the first two which go with the tree and the other two which go with a grassy knoll. The knoll has a stump that can rotate halfway, thereby rocking the hammock and putting Mario asleep if he is lying in it and not in the middle of a round. Rotating the stump enough, Mario shall say ‘I’m a-tired’, slowly close his eyes and snore until somebody removes him from the hammock, awakening him.
Unlike most of the other standard Super Mario sets, there is no challenge central to this set, although there is a startled-looking Goomba that Mario can scan for a coin. When queried after a presentation, the LEGO Digital design lead on the Super Mario theme, Jonathan Bennink, commented:
- "From the start, LEGO and the Nintendo team really wanted Mario to have a home. A place where he can get some naps in, in between all the running and jumping that he does. So, we have created Mario’s House. And in Mario’s house we have his best buddy Yoshi, who he can talk to, and get some coins from. There’s a little hammock here, beneath the tree, and you can slowly gently rock him to sleep. And of course, he can go into his little house as well."
- ―Jonathan Bennink
