Description

A display model, not a rolling toy

Unlike most LEGO Super Mario sets, 72031 skips the sensor-equipped Mario figure entirely. The build is the kart itself, styled after Yoshi's vehicle from the Mario Kart games, meant to be finished and displayed rather than raced across the floor. That makes it a good pick for anyone who wants the Mario Kart look on a shelf without building a full interactive play system around it. The result reads as a scale model first, a toy second.

High parts variety for the size

76 unique elements across 133 pieces is a high ratio for a set this small, meaning roughly every second piece introduces a new shape or colour rather than repeating. That density shows up in small touches such as the handlebar, wheels and body panels, which are more varied than most vehicles at this piece count. It also means the set is a useful source of specific parts for builders who like to reuse pieces in their own creations, all listed in full on this page.

Colour palette

White, bright green, dark azure and red make up the main colours, mixing Yoshi's signature green with the bold tones familiar from the Mario Kart games. White likely forms the body's base, with green and azure picked out on wheels, frame or handlebar, and red adding contrast details. The exact placement of each colour is easiest to check directly in the parts list on this page. This colour scheme also makes the kart easy to recognise next to other Yoshi vehicles across the wider Super Mario range, even when they appear in different sets.

Who this set suits

At 133 pieces, 72031 sits on the smaller side of the Super Mario range and builds in a single short session. That makes it approachable for newcomers to the theme, while giving established fans a single extra vehicle to add alongside bigger sets or level packs. With no minifigures or play character included, the focus stays entirely on the model itself rather than on role play. Anyone who already owns larger interactive sets can simply slot this kart into an existing track or display without needing a new level set to justify it.
