Nintendo is a brand known for its quality assurance, especially when it comes to new hardware – you know about the Game Boy that survived being bombed<\/a>, right? – and it has once again proved its commitment to releasing only the very best with the new LEGO Mario range.<\/p>\n

The project’s lead designer, Jonathan Bennink, has revealed that Nintendo made sure to drop every Mario figure prototype 6,000 times in a bid to ensure its quality. That’s an impressive level of commitment to the cause – and a lot of scratched up plastic, we imagine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“We never had a partner challenge us in safety and quality, and this was the first time! Every time we shipped a Mario to them, they dropped it 6,000 times. That is Nintendo quality \u2013 that was new for us!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bennink’s words come from an interview we shared earlier today<\/a>. It’s an interesting read if we do say so ourselves, with Bennink talking to us about how the collaboration project first started, how it’s evolved over time during development, and more.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already secured your pre-orders for products in the LEGO Mario range, you can find plenty of options right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
