Review 3: 71361 Super Mario Character Pack

I can't seem to stay away from these things.  I blame Atavism for asking about the Shell Piece on the Discord channel.  :-)


Bag.  MSRP was $3.99 for a $0.?? Price per Piece.  (The bag lists 23 pieces but I count 20.)
Instructions.


Parts.  Shell Piece, 4x4x0.6 w/Reduced Knob Plate, Antenna, Round Bricks, Printed Large Cheese Slope, Large Cheese Slope, Feet Piece, ??, Stickered Tile, Brackets, and 1x1 Round Bricks.






Build.  Frame.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)
Score: -5 (B-).  Same as before, there are some neat pieces and prints but the Price per Piece is horrible.
