More LEGO Super Mario Expansion Sets Coming Early 2022

Quickly following the announcement of the new LEGO Luigi’s Mansion sets, four new LEGO Super Mario Expansion sets have been revealed. Not many details are known about these sets. They are expected to be available in early 2022.

Brickset is able to provide us with the set numbers and names:

• 71396 LEGO Super Mario Bowser Jr’s Clown Car
• 71398 LEGO Super Mario Dorrie’s Beachfront
• 71400 LEGO Super Mario Big Urchin Beach Ride
• 71402 LEGO Super Mario Character Pack – Series 4

Additionally, the Nintendo of America Twitter account shared additional photos.

Let’s look at these LEGO Super Mario Expansion sets some more and see what we can discover!

LEGO Super Mario 71396 Bowser Jr’s Clown Car

This version of the Junior Clown Car is the one that appears in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. As you can tell, Bowser Jr. has added boxing gloves to this one! We’ll have to wait and see if Bowser Jr. comes with this set. However, we can see that Mario has carjacked his Clown Car. A lit Bob-omb is also shown on the right.

LEGO Super Mario 71398 Dorrie’s Beachfront

This LEGO set features the character Dorrie, a friendly plesiosaur-like creature that helps Mario ride across water. Furthermore, it may refer to Dorrie’s appearance in New Super Mario Bros. where Mario rides on his back across the water to reach land. There are some really cool looking LEGO elements in this set including the water spouts, a sand castle, and coral.

LEGO Super Mario 71400 Big Urchin Beach Ride

This LEGO set features a Big Urchin as seen in the New Super Mario Bros. games. Since Big Urchin’s are only vulnerable to a Star, you can see a Super Star Block attached to the palm tree. That also looks like Dorrie there in the middle to help Mario get around the water surrounding the island. Two Cheep Cheeps appear at the beginning of the level, and there is also a Yellow Yoshi!

LEGO Super Mario 71402 Character Pack – Series 4

As with the other character packs, there are 10 LEGO Super Mario characters to collect. Notably, there is a cute penguin, who also makes an appearance in the LEGO 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block set!

I am not the best at identifying the Super Mario characters, so let me know which other ones you can spot in the comments below!
