K'NEX Nintendo Super Mario 3D Land Flying Cloud Building Set
Best Product From Super Mario
mostly for fans
K'NEX is a Lego alike building structure.
We have other K'NEX boxes.
The advantage of K'NEX over legos, is that when you want to build larger structures. Because you're mostly building the frames and not the whole structure, it's much easier and simple with K'NEX.
Imagine building a Ferris Wheel with Lego. That would probably be pretty hard even for adults. K'NEX makes it easier.
Now, regarding this specific Mario set, I find it suitable mostly for fans. A lot of the parts wouldn't be suitable to combine with other sets.
My kids and I spent a few hours building this, which I think it was the best part of the set. After we built it, they spent a few minutes playing with the Mario characters, but it got old soon.

Great Display Piece for Mario Fans.... Limited as far as being a toy...
This is more of a display / collection piece for Mario fans. It's fun to build but not much play action. It took my son 2 days to build, spreading out the time to a few hours here and there. My son is 13. It was slight challenging but he also is special needs. I would say anyone over 8+ could do it maybe with some assistance on and off.
K'NEX pieces have great detail and are easy to put together. Most sets you can combine and interchange. For this set, I see it more as the pieces are met for just this set. His favorite parts were the jump disk and launcher and the Goomba figure. Everything worked fine and did what it was suppose to do but he did loose interest. It's not a cheap toy and given the parts may not be the best to use in combination with other sets I feel it's more of a collection item or display unless your a big Mario fan! The play is limited. It's sitting now on his shelf instead as a display piece as he says it looks cool.
A complex K'NEX set ~
This is much more complicated than the Mario Kart 7 set I also received. Though the instructions are straightforward and the pieces generally average size and easily identifiable; the build is challenging. I would rate this set at about 12+ without supervision and 8-12 with adult assistance.
Once assembled though it is quite a blast. The cannon works great. Any young fan of the series will quite enjoy this set. I built it with my neighbor and their kids and it was quite a fun time. The adults had almost as much fun commenting on the complexity.
Bottom line, it's expensive so I would recommend it mainly to fans of the Mario franchise. Otherwise it's a bit of a pricey K'NEX set that can be a little tough for kids to work on their own.
