Tyler completed his LEGO® Nintendo Entertainment System™ project in just three days! He got very focused on it and worked through all 2,646 pieces. The finished project is very cool. The cartridge slides into the console and presses down just like an original Nintendo does. The controller feels normal sized in your hand and the cable disconnects.

LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System set on a wood table, including the NES console, controller, Super Mario Bros cartridge, and a retro TV displaying a Mario level scene.

The TV was a big part of the project and it operates like a track that you turn a handle and it moves. Mario is on a slide and bounces around on the course as you move it.

Here is the scene before going into the TV.
