LEGO Super Mario Finally Gets Proper Minifigures—and Eight New Sets

LEGO Super Mario Range

For six years, LEGO Super Mario has relied on chunky interactive figures that collect digital coins, react to colored bricks, and occasionally make you wonder why a LEGO character needs firmware. In 2027, the Mushroom Kingdom is finally embracing traditional minifigures.

The refreshed LEGO Super Mario range comprises eight sets starring Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and friends. There’s no electronic starter course is required—just bricks, imagination, and the realization that plumbing remains the most dangerous occupation in gaming.

LEGO Super Mario Mario’s Pipe Jump (72052)

At last, a proper Mario minifigure without having to purchase half the Mushroom Kingdom. Pull the lever to catapult Goomba from the pipe, clearing the way for Mario to collect his coin. OSHA would have several questions.

LEGO Super Mario Racing with Mario (72054)

Mario gets a kart, shell launcher, traffic cone, and banana peel—everything necessary to teach children that responsible driving becomes optional when coins are involved.

LEGO Super Mario Mario’s Beach Adventures (72055)

Even Mario needs a holiday from rescuing royalty. This set puts him in swimming shorts alongside a refreshment stand, sun lounger, rolling wave, and Sidestepper. Hopefully, the resort’s plumbing is already working.

LEGO Super Mario Luigi & Bowser Jr.’s Race (72056)

Luigi and Bowser Jr. settle their differences through kart racing, shell launchers, and strategically abandoned fruit. It is also one of the first LEGO Super Mario sets for children aged four and up, because road rage apparently starts young.

LEGO Super Mario Yoshi at Mario’s House (72057)

Mario’s two-story home has a bedroom, kitchen, garden, and green slide connecting the floors. Yoshi is visiting, although there appears to be no bathroom—an alarming omission for a professional plumber.

LEGO Super Mario Bowser’s Rumbling Race (72058)

The vehicular chaos peaks with Bowser’s Bruiser, Toad’s Zoom Buggy, Goomba’s Biddybuggy, and a brick-built Cow riding a Tune Thumper. Nobody can accuse the Mushroom Kingdom’s motorsport regulator of being overly strict.

LEGO Super Mario Fire Mario & Bowser’s Castle (72060)

The largest set gives Fire Mario a heavily fortified castle to infiltrate, complete with traps, lava balls, and a treasure chest of coins. Bowser, Koopa Troopa, and Goomba stand guard, though their historical success rate is not encouraging.

LEGO Super Mario Fire Luigi vs. Koopa Troopa Battle (72061)

Fire Luigi finally receives some attention. Load him into the cannon, launch him at Koopa Troopa’s tower, and reveal a Fire Flower from the Question Mark Block. It is less a rescue mission than a ballistic plumbing service.

So, there you have it: eight new LEGO Super Mario sets for anyone who has spent the last six years wondering why Mario was shaped like an unusually cheerful vending machine. And yes, that’s what I thought chunky, high-tech Mario and his friends looked like this whole time. There, I said it.
