71368 Toad's Treasure Hunt Expansion Set

71368 Toad's Treasure Hunt Expansion Set is a Super Mario set that was released on August 1, 2020.
== Background ==
Toad Houses (also known as Toad's Houses) are Mushroom-shaped buildings that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. They have since made appearances in more recent games. Toad Houses are usually located across every world map except for the last world within the Super Mario games. Toad Houses always hold either a useful surprise or reward for the player, most frequently power-ups. Within most games, Toad Houses are generally run and hosted by ally characters such as Toad, Toadsworth, and a variety of other Toads.
== Description ==
The terrain is variable in height, with a few nodes elevated by earth, and one segment meant to represent a big tree. Almost all of the terrain is green, representing grass, but there are four lengthy blue plates that represent water. The architecture consists mainly of three houses with round roofs: the largest house having a red roof — Toad’s domain — while the smallest has a purple roof — Toadette’s domain — and finally the middle being a yellow-roofed hovel. These houses are meant to be decorative; they have very little interior to them. The rest of the architecture consists of three different bridges. The first bridge has a slider around it that has an orange, studless node with an action tile. Mario is meant to balance on this while somebody slides him. This bridge sometimes leads to the set’s brick-built treasure chest. Another bridge is a rotatable platform that has at its brown end a copy of the orange node with the action tile. Mario is meant to stand on this while somebody safely rotates him over the water. Keeping Mario safely balanced on these action tiles as they slide or spin results in coin multipliers. The last bridge connects to two elevated nodes and has two Cheep Cheeps mounted on a spinner in the middle. Mario can scan their action tiles for coins, but the spinner makes accuracy challenging.
All three of the treasures hidden by means of TECHNIC mechanisms. The first treasure block is usually in the medium-sized house’s doorway and Mario can access it by stepping on the white brick attached to the black TECHNIC tube that goes through the doorway. The next treasure block is in the set’s treasure chest, which Mario can open by stepping on the grey TECHNIC beam in its side. The last one usually goes at the top of the big tree and Mario can unhide it by pushing on the tree’s grey TECHNIC beam at the upper level, thereby pushing away the foliage hiding the treasure block. Mario can also greet Toad or Toadette by scanning their action tiles, which go on the ground before them (rather than on the head or back).
