Mario Minifigs Coming Soon? Why a “?” Block? DESIGNER INTERVIEW: LEGO Super Mario 64 “?” Block
If you’re curious about Mario minifigures or why a question mark block was chosen to represent Super Mario 64 (when it isn’t in the game), I have answers!
This is a recap and overview of the LEGO Super Mario Question Mark block designer interview that took place on Monday. The format was a private zoom call and I’m not able to share video or audio from the interview, but I paraphrase and quote when necessary. I got a lot of questions answered for you, as did the other LAN members who participated. We each got 10 minutes with the designers in a roundtable format, but hopefully you’ll find the questions and answers informative and interesting 🙂
Thank you so much to LAN and LEGO for the opportunity to participate in this designer interview round table!
