Mario Kart – Toad's Garage

The LEGO® Super Mario set Mario Kart – Toad's Garage (72035) recreates Toad's pit-stop workshop rather than a race track. Built from 390 pieces with no minifigure included, it puts the focus squarely on the vehicle and its surroundings. For anyone building up a LEGO Mario Kart shelf, it works as a self-contained diorama that pairs well with other karts.

Description

A pit stop, not a podium

Rather than another finish line, 72035 recreates the workshop where Toad's kart gets tuned up. At 390 pieces it sits in a mid-size bracket that keeps the build going for a good hour or two without feeling repetitive. Expect small functional areas rather than one big shell: a lift, a workbench and racing-themed details that nod to the wider Mario Kart games. Builders who enjoy vehicles and scenery over big figure scenes get a model with more steps per piece than a plain kart set, which keeps the assembly varied from start to finish.

Colours and part count

White, black, blue and yellow give the garage a crisp, motorsport-inspired look that stands apart from the earthier tones used in many other Super Mario sets. Of the 390 pieces, 168 are unique parts, a fairly high share for a set this size, which points to plenty of small specialised elements rather than big basic bricks. That is exactly where the parts list on this page earns its keep: it shows the colour and shape of every piece, making it easy to check what a used set is missing or to plan custom garage builds.

No minifigure, more mechanism

Unlike many Mario Kart sets, 72035 ships without a minifigure. All the building attention goes into the vehicle and its setting instead: hinges, moving parts and small workshop props take centre stage rather than a character to drive around. For collectors who treat the set as a display diorama, that is a plus, since the garage reads as a complete scene on its own. It still works as a backdrop for Mario or Luigi minifigures pulled from larger Super Mario sets.

Fitting it into a wider collection

As a 2025 release, the set joins LEGO® Super Mario's growing Mario Kart line-up and combines well with kart vehicles from other sets to form a small pit lane. The compact piece count also makes it approachable for newer builders who want a themed starting point without committing to a huge box. Checking the parts list here before buying is worthwhile if spare parts from similar sets are already on hand and it needs confirming what this particular garage actually adds.
