"The Piranha Plant Power Slide earns its Highly Recommended BrickScore of 81.7 on the strength of a genuinely inventive sliding mechanic that Brickset named a series favorite, backed by 3,002 owner ratings averaging 4.8. The app-only instructions and starter-set requirement are real barriers to entry, but buyers who clear that hurdle consistently love it."
The Piranha Plant Power Slide (71365) earns a Highly Recommended tier at BrickScore 81.7, with both Solid Brix Studios and Brickset calling it a strong expansion pack anchored by a genuinely fun and skill-demanding sliding-cart mechanic. Brickset went as far as naming it a personal favorite in the early Super Mario lineup. Owner ratings strongly reinforce this, with 3,002 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5 and 88% recommending on LEGO.com. The primary friction point across all reviewers is the app-only instruction format and the mandatory starter set requirement, with a secondary concern about price relative to piece count.
Where they split: Agreement is rated high across reviewers. The small divergence is between Brickset (who called it a personal series favorite and gave an 85) and one Solid Brix take that rated it 72 and flagged the app requirement and price more skeptically. Owner sentiment is consistently strong, with the Amazon base (4.8 average on 2,991 reviews) slightly outpacing the LEGO.com direct base (4.29 average on 11 reviews).

Owners love the interactive slide mechanics and Mario minifigure magic, but divide over price value and screen-dependency concerns.
