Lego has been testing modern sets without instructions and instead tell you to download an app for your phone.

The ones I know of are the Mario ones, but they apparently need a phone anyway to setup the little characters.

Which Mario ones are you thinking of? Because for the only ones I know of with electronic character, you just place them over special tiles they can read to select how they will react.

All normal sets still come with a booklet don't they? They offer the option sometimes though.

Plastic parts bags are getting replaced by paper ones, but the booklets aren't going anywhere.
