The Super Mario Bros Build A Level Light from Paladone turns a classic 2D Mario stage into a lamp you design yourself. It comes with 16 separate light-up blocks printed with familiar icons, from Question Blocks and Brick Blocks to Koopa Troopa shells, Mushrooms and Mario himself, and you stack them on a ground block base in whatever layout you like. Paladone states that the Build A Level Light is officially licensed and approved by Nintendo.

How the Build A Level Light Works
Each block is conductive: when you place it on the ground block base or on top of another block, it picks up power from the block below and lights up. That is why the Build A Level Light has no wires between pieces; the connection passes through the stack. Pull a block off and its light goes out, put it back and it glows again.
Paladone describes the 16 blocks as double-sided, so each one carries a different picture on its two faces. Turning a block around changes the scene, which doubles the number of combinations you can build from the same set.
Design Your Own Mario Level
The fun of the Build A Level Light is that there is no set design. One week it can be a tall tower of Brick Blocks with a Question Block on top; the next, a wide layout with Mario jumping towards a Koopa shell. The icons come straight from the classic Super Mario Bros. pixel art, so the result looks like a screenshot that has stepped off the screen.
On a desk beside a monitor or a Nintendo Switch, it works as a soft accent light for evening gaming. In a child’s room it is a night-time light that the child can rebuild, which keeps it interesting for longer than a figure lamp that never changes.
Power: Mains Adaptor Included
Paladone lists the Build A Level Light as mains operated, with the mains adaptor included in the box. It does not run on batteries according to Paladone’s product description, so it needs to sit within reach of a socket.
Paladone does not publish the adaptor’s input voltage or plug type on its product page. Before first use, check the label on the adaptor in your box: in the UAE, mains power is 220–240V, and the adaptor should be rated for that range.
A Gift for Mario Fans
The Build A Level Light comes in a full-colour gift box, so it is ready to wrap for a birthday, Eid or graduation. It suits gamers who grew up with the NES and SNES, younger fans who know Mario from the Switch, and collectors who already own other official Nintendo merchandise. Paladone also makes other licensed Super Mario lights, mugs and desk items if you want to build a themed shelf.
Who This Is Not For
The Build A Level Light is not a reading lamp: it is a decorative mood light, and it will not light a desk well enough for homework or detailed work. It needs a nearby socket, as Paladone describes it as mains powered rather than battery powered, so it cannot be placed in the middle of a shelf far from power without a cable showing.
The blocks are small separate pieces that are easy to lose and are not suitable for very young children who might put them in their mouths. Paladone does not publish the brightness, colour temperature or exact dimensions on its product page.
