Does the set come with a minifigure?

No, instead of a standard minifigure, the set includes an interactive electronic Mario figure, counted separately from the 231 course pieces.

Can it be combined with other LEGO Super Mario sets?

Yes, this starter course is the base of the range. Pipes, paths and enemies from expansion sets attach directly onto it.

How big is the course built from 231 pieces?

It's a short starting course with a pipe, platform and question mark block, designed to be quick to build and easy to extend.

Adventures with Mario Starter Course

This starter course is the entry point into the LEGO® Super Mario range, pairing an interactive electronic Mario figure with a short course of pipes, blocks and a coin. Built from 231 pieces, it recreates the look of the video games in physical form, using 114 unique parts across landscape, obstacles and course elements. It's the set almost every LEGO Super Mario collection begins with.

Description

The figure isn't a minifigure

Rather than a standard minifigure, the set's centrepiece is an electronic Mario figure with LCD screens for eyes, belly and feet, which reacts to colours, movement and coins as it moves through the course. Because it works differently from a normal minifigure, it isn't counted among the parts total, even though it drives the whole play experience. The remaining 231 pieces build the physical course around it: a starting pipe, a platform and a question mark block, all recognisable from the games.

A palette lifted from the games

Medium Nougat and Dark Orange dominate the ground and pipe sections, Light Bluish Gray covers brick and block elements, and Bright Green appears on pipes and foliage in a shade closely tied to the source material. Across 114 unique parts, the colour scheme stays clean enough that landscape pieces are easy to tell apart from the sensor blocks the figure interacts with. The full colour breakdown by part is listed further up this page.

Built to expand

As a starter set, 71360 keeps its 231-piece course deliberately short, since its real purpose is to introduce the interactive figure that later expansion sets build on. Once you own this set, additional pipes, enemies and power-ups from other LEGO Super Mario sets connect straight onto the existing course without needing a second figure, which is why this is typically the first set bought in the range rather than a later addition.

An easier build for younger fans

With 114 unique parts and a straightforward layout, the course is a manageable build for children who haven't tackled larger sets yet. The interactive electronics inside the Mario figure come pre-assembled, so there's no wiring or fiddly mechanism to build by hand, which keeps the construction itself simple even though the finished course behaves in an unusually dynamic way for a LEGO set, even before any expansion sets are added to it.
