Mario Kart™ - LEGO® Mario and Standard Kart (LEGO 72043)

About this set

This is LEGO Super Mario 72043 Mario Kart - LEGO Mario and Standard Kart, a scene set with 278 pieces and a difficulty of 2/5. The build centers on Mario driving a kart, with red, blue and yellow as the main colors plus black, white, green and gray accents. The kart has a steering wheel and exhaust pipes, and the scene includes a question block, flagpole and road barriers, with a Bob-omb and a Boo appearing as rivals. I would build the kart first, then Mario, and finish with the question block, flagpole and barriers so the layout of the props is easy to read. The tricky parts are the small fixings on the steering wheel and exhaust, and seating Mario on the kart. At 278 pieces and 2/5 difficulty, it suits newcomers to LEGO Super Mario and adult fans of the Mario Kart series who want a small desk scene.
