Kids can race into action-packed fun with the LEGO® Super Mario™: Mario Kart™ Piranha Plant Power-Up Pursuit (72044) building set. Designed for boys, girls, and gamers aged 8 and up, this imaginative toy includes buildable karts for Toadette and a Koopa Troopa—Toadette rides in the Cat Cruiser, while the Koopa Troopa takes the wheel in the Tanooki Kart. Both vehicles feature fun drifting action and a shell-launching function, while the included Piranha Plant figure can be attached to either kart and will move realistically as the kart drives.
For even more interactive play, kids can place a LEGO® Mario™, LEGO® Luigi™, or LEGO® Peach™ figure (from sets 71439, 71440, 71441 or 72043—sold separately) into the vehicles to trigger classic Mario Kart™ sounds, visuals, and receive random digital items from the Item Box. The set also includes three figures—Toadette, Koopa Troopa, and a Piranha Plant—for exciting pretend play adventures.
With 588 pieces, this set makes a great gift for fans of Mario Kart and LEGO Super Mario. The Tanooki Kart measures over 2.5 in. (6 cm) high, 5 in. (12 cm) long, and 3.5 in. (9 cm) wide. Instructions are included in the box and available in the LEGO Super Mario app. For more racing fun, kids can expand their collection with other LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart sets (sold separately) and discover new characters and vehicles to build, race, and display.
