Mario Kart™: Mario & Standard Kart (LEGO 72037)

About this set

This is LEGO 72037, Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart, a display-oriented scene set from the LEGO Super Mario line with a part count of 1972 and a difficulty rating of 5/5. The kart body is predominantly red with blue and yellow accents, black tires on yellow hubs, an exhaust pipe at the rear, a steering wheel in the cockpit, and a Mario minifigure seated in the driver's position. Build-wise, sort the chassis and wheel assemblies left and right first; the four tires are the same spec, so check hub orientation before pressing them on to avoid rework. Then work through the red body panels and the blue and yellow trim, which are densely packed in color, so following the numbered bags cuts down on sorting time. The steering wheel and exhaust pipe are protruding parts best attached after the body is closed up, so they don't get knocked loose mid-build. Save the Mario minifigure for last and seat it once the cockpit is complete, which makes it easier to adjust the pose and arms. The 5/5 difficulty comes mostly from the multi-stage assembly and color zoning across nearly two thousand pieces, making it a good fit for builders who have finished mid-size sets and want a larger display model, and for Super Mario fans after a kart-shaped piece; newcomers can work bag by bag rather than in one sitting.
