Description

An expansion, not a starter

Unlike starter sets, this one doesn't provide a standalone course, instead adding extra elements and interactions to an existing Super Mario set. At its centre is the Monty Mole character, popping up from the ground, paired with a Super Mushroom element referencing the well-known power-up from the games. At 164 pieces, the set has enough substance to build an exciting course section, but it's clearly aimed at owners of a Super Mario starter set already, not first-time buyers.

Earthy tones with contrast

Tan and light bluish grey form the earthy, underground setting Monty Mole emerges from, while yellow and medium nougat provide contrast on the mushroom and smaller details. That colour choice suits the cave and underground theme found in many Mario course sections, and it stands out noticeably from the greener standard sets in the range. The exact breakdown of these four colours is on the parts list on this page, including how often each piece appears and where it's used.

83 distinct part types

With 83 different part types, this compact expansion set offers a surprising amount of variety, ranging from landscape elements to movement mechanisms and small decorative bricks. That range makes the build more interesting than the piece count alone would suggest, and it leaves useful specialty pieces for expanding the course further. Search the parts list here for landscape or mechanism pieces, which also turn up in other Mario sets with the same function.

Interaction instead of a minifigure

Since there's no classic minifigure included, the set's focus is entirely on interacting with the electronic Mario figure from a base set, which reacts to the built-in mechanisms. That makes this set a pure add-on, designed to make gameplay and coin collecting on the course more varied. Combined with other expansion sets, your own course can be built out step by step with more characters, obstacles and mechanisms for new course sections.
