Recommendation: meh by Huw

It's a colourful and interesting looking set, which is why I bought it. However, there is not much to the gameplay, and it requires no skill or patience to master. It's therefore not a 'must have' one by any means.

Recommendation: meh by Jetro de Château

The gameplay with Mario is quite fun. Mario stands on a sort of hammer seat and takes the Pokey apart from the bottom. At the base of the seat there is another barcode that makes Mario play a different tune.

Recommendation: meh by Adam White

One of the things I like about the LEGO Super Mario sets has to be the unique ways they recreate elements from the game. Taking out the Pokey sections with a hammer infused platform may feel a little disconnected from how it occurs in the game. However, it's still fun and unlike any of the play functions from any other sets. It's also one of the only sets to feature the desert landscape, allowing you to bring a little variety to your courses and also a great partner for the Monty Mole GWP set.

Recommendation: meh by Graham

71363 Desert Pokey Expansion Set is one of the better LEGO Super Mario sets in the theme, offering an engaging and clever build that results in a fun, and unique, gameplay function that works well. Thanks to the lower price point, it is better value than most Mario sets, and is worth adding to a LEGO level.
