How the sets fit together

LEGO and Nintendo launched LEGO Super Mario in August 2020. The idea is that you build a level and then play it with an interactive figure that reacts to what it touches. That makes the sets work in layers: one starter set gives you the figure, and every other play set adds courses, karts and enemies. The adult display models sit outside that system.

Starter sets: pick a figure

The three 2024 starters are the entry point. Each has an interactive figure and a short course. 71439 pairs Mario with Bowser Jr., Yoshi and a Goomba. 71440 gives you Luigi with Kamek, a pink Baby Yoshi and a Boo, and 71441 has Peach with Lakitu, Yellow Toad and a Lava Bubble.

The figure is the clever part. LEGO describes LCD screens in the eyes, mouth and belly, a speaker with sounds from the games and a sensor that reads coloured bricks and action bricks. A red brick, for example, counts as lava. The figure collects coins as you play and links to a free app over Bluetooth, although LEGO says the app is optional. LEGO.com currently marks all three starters as retiring soon.

Mario Kart sets

The 2025 Mario Kart range brought karts to the theme. 72043 is the only one that includes a figure: Mario scans the Standard Kart to rev it, Lakitu counts down the start, and the goal tile plays a victory tune. It also comes with a banana, red and green shells, a Bob-omb and a Thwomp.

The rest are add-ons. LEGO’s announcement says you can put a Mario, Luigi or Peach figure (not included) in the driver’s seat for kart sounds and effects, and scan Item Boxes for extra coins. 72031 Yoshi Bike is the smallest set at 133 pieces. 72033 adds a brick-built Donkey Kong and his DK Jumbo kart. 72036 Baby Peach & Grand Prix Set includes Toad, Lemmy, Baby Peach and Lakitu, and 72039 Bowser’s Castle is the biggest play set, about 26 by 36 by 21 cm. Bowser’s Castle and Yoshi Bike no longer appear on LEGO.com’s Super Mario page, so look for remaining retailer stock.

Display models for adults

The Mighty Bowser (71411) stands about 32 cm high on its base. Buttons under the shell turn the head, the jaw opens and a launcher fires fireballs. It needs no figure, but Bowser can still fight one in an Action Tag battle. Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi (71438) is a pixel-style model of Mario riding Yoshi, about 40 cm tall. Both are rated 18+ and are sold out on LEGO.com at the time of writing.

Buying tips

  • Buy a starter (71439, 71440 or 71441) or 72043 first. Without a figure, the add-on sets are just models.
  • Check the set number in the listing title. Mario Kart sets have similar names; 72043 includes Mario, while 72037 is an 18+ display model with a brick-built Mario.
  • New minifigure-based sets are coming: LEGO lists eight as coming soon, and Nintendo Wire reports a January 1, 2027 release.

Questions people ask

Do I need an interactive Mario figure for LEGO Super Mario sets?

For the play sets, yes. The interactive figure comes in the starter sets 71439 (Mario), 71440 (Luigi) and 71441 (Peach), and in Mario Kart set 72043. Add-on sets such as Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo work with any of those figures. The 18+ display models do not need one.

How does the interactive LEGO Mario figure work?

LEGO says the figure has LCD screens in his eyes, mouth and belly and a speaker that plays sounds from the games. A sensor in his base reads colours and action bricks, and he connects to a free app over Bluetooth. The app is optional. He runs on 2 AAA batteries.

Which LEGO Super Mario sets are for adults?

The Mighty Bowser (71411, 2,807 pieces) and Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi (71438, 1,215 pieces) are both rated 18+. They are built for display, though Bowser can also battle an interactive figure.

Are LEGO Super Mario minifigure sets coming?

Yes. LEGO lists eight new sets as coming soon, and Nintendo Wire reports they release on January 1, 2027 as the first Super Mario sets with minifigures instead of the interactive figure.
