Description

A famous track turned into a building

Bowser's Castle has appeared as a track across the Mario Kart series for decades and is one of its most recognisable settings among fans. The set translates the fortress's jagged battlements, spiky towers and dark stone look into a standing structure that pairs well with other LEGO® Super Mario sets. Unlike many interactive sets in the range, the focus here sits firmly on architectural rebuilding rather than sensor-based gameplay with a Mario figure, which suits collectors more than players.

355 unique parts for fine detail

With 355 unique parts among 1,068 pieces overall, the castle ranks among the more detailed builds in its size class, visible in its turrets, bridges and small overhangs. The parts list on this page shows just how many specialised shapes are needed for battlements, windows and roof sections to make the fortress look convincing. Builders who enjoy working with unusual pieces will find plenty of choice here for their own fantasy or castle projects.

Grey and black with yellow accents

Light Bluish Grey and Dark Bluish Grey form the stonework, Black adds shadow and detail, and Yellow appears as a signal colour on torches, symbols and other Mario-style accents. That combination produces the familiar Bowser look, mixing threatening fortress architecture with the bold colours of the game series. For fans who already own other track sets, the model fits neatly into a growing collection by colour alone. In the end, this Super Mario set balances build experience and finished result well.

Who this set suits

With no minifigures included, Bowser's Castle is aimed chiefly at collectors and building fans who want to recreate Mario Kart tracks or in-game levels rather than act out play scenes. As a display model, the fortress is impressive on its own and combines well with other Super Mario sets to form a larger landscape. The parts list on this page also helps when hunting for matching colours or shapes for extensions or original creations.
