It offers interactive play capabilities that are somewhat like those found in the LEGO Super Mario sets, but quite a bit more intricate. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The key elements of SMART Play are SMART Bricks, SMART Minifigures, and SMART Tags. These three elements can interact with one another in a number of ways to make playing with LEGO sets more dynamic.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The SMART Brick is a key component in the system. A SMART Brick has various sensors, accelerometers, and a speaker that let it interact with SMART Minifigures and SMART tags. When used together, these elements can respond to sounds, light, and movement with appropriate sounds and behaviors. You can find out more at the LEGO Store page.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Chris Reed is a commerce editor and deals expert for IGN.
