TIL Nintendo copied LEGO in the 60´s and outsold them for a few years in Japan. Their N&B Block series were very similar to LEGO an way more popular because they had more round shapes. Nintendo stopped the N&B Block series in the early 70s, most likely due to legal pressure from LEGO.

This is what is in Blue’s gym in GSC btw. It’s why it looks like he has a pile of lego inside.
There’s a level based on these in Super Mario Land 2.
