Mario and Yoshi are primed for the final boss fight against Bowser. But oh no! Princess Peach is trapped in a cage, floating overโฆ banana lava??? ๐๐

While the lava is eye-catching, we think there are some excellent hidden secrets (also involving bananas) as you dig deeper into the build.
@mbmocs told us:
๐ โI quickly had the idea to include Yoshi together with Mario, using a red banana for the tongue. Then I thought about how I could integrate Peach into the scene.โ
๐ โAgain the banana parts (this time in dark bluish gray) turned out to be the perfect piece in order to achieve the shape I was going for.โ
๐ โWhen the Botanical Garden set from LEGO Ideas was revealed in October (set no. 21353), it introduced the banana peel part (item no. 5215) in green and I knew I wanted to switch out the flower stem.โ
๐ โIn the end I feel like the lava turned out to be the main eye catcher, even though I started out with the characters. Itโs funny because if it had not been for the Super Mario figures, I probably never would have thought of using bananas this way!โ
