It's fine, but Wario Land is so full of new ideas. The music and general sound design is better, the secrets are better, the level design is better...

It's a reference to a Lego knockoff Nintendo made in the 60s.

Is that why Mega Bloks still exist?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Brands#Lego_lawsuits
>Mega Brands had won 14 cases regarding its Mega Bloks over competitor Lego.
>The Lego Group has filed lawsuits against Mega Bloks, Inc. in courts around the world on the grounds that Mega Bloks' use of the "studs and tubes" interlocking brick system is a violation of trademarks held by Lego. Generally such lawsuits have been unsuccessful, chiefly because the functional design of the basic brick is considered a matter of patent rather than trademark law, and all relevant Lego patents have expired.
>On November 17, 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld Mega Bloks' right to continue selling the product in Canada. A similar decision was reached by the European Union's Court of First Instance on November 12, 2008 when it upheld an EU trademark agency decision following an objection by Mega Bloks against a trademark awarded to Lego in 1999.
>On September 14, 2010, the European Court of Justice ruled that the 8-peg design of the original Lego brick "merely performs a technical function [and] cannot be registered as a trademark".
