Super Mario 3D Land Bowser's Castle Building Set
K'Nex sets are relatively new to us. I suppose because we were always pushed towards doing our own thing. While it's nice to be able to build whatever you want sometimes you need the extra push from a pro. The handy detailed blueprints to build a tower any evil doer would want to inhabit. Of course, this one is reserved for my arch-nemesis Bowser.
Complete with Princess Peach to rescue Mario from yet another kidnapping plot. What do you mean it's the other way around? Excuse me, this is my story I'm telling because I built this castle and I can kidnap whomever I like! Ahem, where was I? Oh yes, while Mario was kidnapped again by Bowser, honestly he needs to stop asking for directions. Doesn't everyone have GPS on their phones these days?
I followed him to this castle, what like you don't have child safety features set up for your kids? Mario just needs some extra care, it's not stalking I assure you. Besides, he ended up needing my help after all. What with those rotating flames? And the evil giant dragon who can fly? Plus all of those elevators and floors? He was bound to get lost the poor thing. I mean, really, he has no GPS. He probably got lost on account of him being tied up and all. How would he have found his way out of that elaborate maze? Luckily, Princess Peach was there to rescue him.
She sails in to save the day with jumping action. She glides across the ramp with ease avoiding deadly traps and earthquake panels. She is a skilled pink dervish and races to the top of the tower to battle Bowser. Finally, using all of her might to earn that star! Mario was grateful to be found yet again. Maybe next time he'll listen to Princess Peach and plan his route ahead of time. I doubt he'll find such an elaborately decked out castle next time.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 Thwomps Building Set Review
There is little I have done with building blocks. Honestly, as the girl child, I stayed away from them. Or more accurately was told hands off by my older brothers. The building was their domain and that was fine by me. Mostly...I mean building is fun for all.
So, I was little smug when we got some K'nex sets a few weeks ago. I decided to start with the New Super Mario Bros. 2 Thwomps Building Set. The building started and I got a little carried away in the same sense. I love puzzles and this was a giant 3-D puzzle only with Mario for the theme. I know you may not believe me but being able to make your own level for a Mario game is pretty amazing.
In about three hours, with I must say the worst assistants ever. I mean, really how hard is it to hand me the red stick? It's red and a stick! Not hard to figure out. Anyhow, they were easy to build. The instructions don't even have words just pictures so you know that an eight year old could do it. Only, I bet they'd have an easier time without my awful assistants. The cat is not helpful. He only wants to eat the pieces.
So, why not bring a little Nintendo cheer to your builder? You will be impressed with the awesome display you find on your table!
