LEGO has once again stirred up excitement among fans with a new teaser posted on their Instagram account. This time, the teaser hints at a new LEGO set reveal for the upcoming MAR10 Day, which celebrates the iconic video game character, Mario.
This has led fans to speculate that the new LEGO set release could be centered around the Donkey Kong franchise. Donkey Kong is a classic Nintendo character that has been around since the early days of video gaming. He is known for his strength and agility, as well as his love for bananas.
Could It Be Kong?
If the speculation is true, then this LEGO Donkey Kong set would be a fantastic addition to the LEGO Super Mario line. The Super Mario line, which was launched in 2020, features interactive sets that allow fans to build their own Mario levels and play through them using a LEGO Mario figure. The sets also include special pieces that allow the Mario figure to collect coins, defeat enemies, and interact with the environment.
Adding a Donkey Kong set to the mix would open up a whole new world of possibilities for LEGO and Nintendo fans. Donkey Kong could be included as a boss enemy that Mario has to defeat, or he could be used as a playable character in his own right. Either way, the inclusion of Donkey Kong would add a new level of excitement to an already popular product line.
Only time will tell whether the speculation surrounding this teaser is accurate. However, with MAR10 Day right around the corner, fans won’t have to wait long to find out. Regardless of what the new LEGO set release turns out to be, it’s clear that LEGO and Nintendo are committed to creating exciting and innovative products that appeal to fans of all ages.
