"With a BrickScore of 68.5, Picnic at Mario's House earns a solid recommendation for its target audience — young Mario fans will love the yellow Yoshi, interactive fishing minigame, and colorful picnic scenes — but expert reviewers agree it's a play set first and last, offering little for display, parts-hunting, or anyone who already owns 71367."
Reviewers — especially parents and grandparents buying for young Mario fans — are overwhelmingly positive, praising the set's colorful design, engaging interactive play mechanics, and the adorable yellow Yoshi. The two more analytical reviews (Brickset and Bouwsteentjes) temper that enthusiasm: both flag that 71422 treads very similar ground to its predecessor 71367 Mario's House & Yoshi, and one warns that app-based instructions are tedious. Still, both agree the fishing minigame and expanded interior detail represent genuine improvements over the older set. A lone critical voice on LEGO.com calls the build derivative and the price unjustified.
Where they split: Buyer/parent reviews are uniformly glowing with near-perfect scores, while Brickset (72) and Bouwsteentjes (65) are more measured — both note repetitiveness vs. the predecessor and flag display/AFOL weaknesses. One LEGO.com reviewer bucked the crowd entirely, calling the set derivative and a poor value. The gap between casual buyer enthusiasm and analytical reviewer caution is the defining split here.

"Picnic at Mario's House is almost uniquely unappealing for AFOLs, but there's a reason I don't think that matters."
