Description

A buildable Donkey Kong

72033 turns Donkey Kong into a buildable character sitting in his own kart, paired with a second, larger vehicle called DK Jumbo. Both models belong to the LEGO® Super Mario Kart range, which turns familiar racing characters from the Nintendo games into brick-built vehicles. Sets in this range typically use pull-back motors so the karts can roll across the floor, plus details such as wheels, a steering element and a figure styled after its in-game counterpart.

Colours and build experience

The reddish brown, tan, dark bluish grey and dark orange palette gives the set an earthy look that suits Donkey Kong's jungle theme. At 387 pieces, the model sits in the mid-size range, quick enough to finish in one sitting while still offering enough detail on the bodywork and wheels to keep more experienced builders interested. The 146 unique parts add variety without making the build feel cluttered or repetitive.

Parts and reuse across the range

Working through the full parts list on this page, you'll spot plenty of grey frame elements alongside the reddish brown and dark orange pieces, many of which suit other Mario Kart or technic-adjacent builds. The list makes it easy to check exactly which bricks, plates and specialty pieces are included, which helps when tracking down a missing piece or matching spares from other sets. Collectors running several Mario Kart sets side by side can use it to plan reuse. The grey frame elements in particular show up in several other Mario Kart sets, making it easier to plan reuse across your collection.

Who this set suits

72033 appeals to Donkey Kong fans and to anyone building out the full LEGO® Super Mario Kart line-up. Without traditional minifigures but with a self-contained kart model, it sits well alongside existing Mario sets and also works as a standalone display or play piece. Its mid-range piece count makes it approachable for confident young builders and adult collectors alike who want a compact but detailed model.
