Super Mario Layer Cake Desert Building Set #KNEX {Review}

Disclosure: I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

As a kid I love the Mario Bros. and couldn’t get enough of them.  I played my NES all the time, watched the television show and couldn’t imagine life behind them.  Luckily I grew up and while I am pretty busy as a mom, I do still love those brothers.  My kids haven’t quite started playing the Mario games yet, other than Mario Kart but they do know who they are.  Luckily K’NEX makes it easy to bring the Mario Bros. into our house without playing the video game.  They have a whole line of Super Mario themed products including the Super Mario Layer Cake Desert Building Set that I got to check out.

This is a great building set for any Mario Bros. fan.  It is a pretty simple build since most of it is just platforms you need to create by snapping pieces together. My boys (ages 6 and 7) had this set built in no time and loved that they could then play with the included little figures on it.  It includes enough figures for a few kids to play on it at the same time and it is a good size for that as well.  My favorite feature is the little coins, which my boys like to bonk the figures heads on to pretend they are collecting the coins.  Once built this set is pretty sturdy and durable.  I was impressed with how it didn’t fall apart with how rough they seemed to be playing on it.  My boys even used this set to incorporate other figures they have into it.

I’m not really sure why they call this Layer Cake Desert Building as its not really a cake but its neat nevertheless.  Oh and it is even two-sided meaning that kids can play on both the front and back.  This is a great set whether you have other Mario Bros. K’NEX sets or if this is your child’s first one.
