This Smash Bros Castle is built brick by brick!

With far more precision and detail than the button-mashing playstyles common in the game, T.E. Brickworks has brought us the ultimate Super Smash Bros. LEGO build! Four fighters battle it out on the Castle Siege stage from Fire Emblem. Brickworks has taken the opportunity to depict this scene mid-fight, with Richter, the Ice Climbers, Kazuya, and Banjo & Kazooie battling for fun and for glory! There’s a lot going on here, but we’ve got plenty of excellent close-up shots below.

The large tan bricks are mostly 2×4 tiles but the broken off chunks around the middle ramp are made from excellently-used 1x2x3 slopes. All the tiles used in the grouting look fantastic too!

From the main image, you can see all the work that went into the big red floor tiles that cover the top of the stage. Each complete tile is a perfect 4×4 stud square, but many of the tiles are built from 1x4x10/3 chunks laid on their sides. When the creation called for shaped tiles, they mostly used 1×2 slopes around the edges of the stage and 2×2 corner tiles around the ramp area. I also want to highlight the little tan and brown decorations on the front left, built around a hidden 1×1 brick with four side studs.

Finally, we get to take a look at our fighters! Kazuya, on the left is suitably muscular with all his ingots adding a toned texture, but check out how his forehead is attached! It’s not often you meet a man with a structural widow’s peak! On the right, I love the floofy fur lining on the Ice Climbers’ parkas. And see how their sleeves are minifigure heads that integrate perfectly with bandanas, depicting the fur lining at their wrists? Slick building, right there!

And for the last two characters, on the left is Richter. From his bandana to his wrist wrap to the buckles on his jacket, all of the details are there, created in a pseudo-miniland scale (the scale of characters used at LEGO theme park builds). Finally, Banjo & Kazooie on the bottom right allow T.E. Brickworks to really show off. Banjos snout is made from a pair of bananas holding up a fez for a nose, while Kazooie’s beak is held together by a clear angled bar. Finally, Kazooie’s feathers are attached to her wings by a combination of sausages, round plates with bars, and 2-Length bars with stop rings. T.E. has used the hand-clips themselves to hold the bars together. I think we’re all ready to go now, so lets count off the match: Three, two, one: GO!
