| The LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi display set is an easy way to bring classic Mario into your MAR10 Day plans. |
By Jon Scarr
MAR10 Day is coming up on March 10, and this year it falls just before a big moment for Mario. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theatres on April 1, and that timing lines up with a new wave of Mario sets, toys, and other tie-ins.
For a lot of adults, that lead-up is a chance to bring old Mario memories forward and share them with family. LEGO’s recent Play Well Study backs that up. Adults say creative, hands-on play helps them relax more than watching TV or scrolling on a phone, and parents say building and playing together strengthens their relationship with their kids. Kids, in turn, link play directly to feeling happier and closer to their families.
If you want to bring that spirit into MAR10 Day this year, LEGO’s Super Mario sets give you a few different paths. Some are aimed at families who want interactive builds they can tweak and replay. Others are display pieces that sit on a shelf and show how long Mario has been part of your life. There is even a near full-scale LEGO Game Boy for anyone who remembers swapping Game Paks at school or hauling a backpack full of AA batteries to a friend’s house.

If you are looking for a starting point for younger builders, LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Interactive LEGO Mario (SKU 71439) is the set that brings everything together.
The star of the box is the interactive LEGO Mario figure. He reacts when you jump on enemies, step on special Action Tags, or land in lava, with sound and screen reactions that match what is happening on the bricks. Kids can rearrange the layout between attempts, mixing in the balancing platform challenge and Bowser Jr.’s Junior Clown Car to create new routes.
Because the set supports multiple builds and layouts, it works well as a base you can expand later with other LEGO Super Mario sets.

LEGO Super Mario Captain Toad’s Camp (SKU 72040)
 |
| LEGO Super Mario Captain Toad’s Camp turns MAR10 Day into a hands-on camping adventure at the table. |
Captain Toad’s Camp is a smaller set that still gives you plenty to do. You build a rocky mountain module with a tent, bonfire, collapsible bridge, and a hidden treasure chest tucked into the rock. It is the kind of set that encourages quick stories as much as it does straightforward building.
The set includes Captain Toad, a Goomba, and a brick-built turnip, along with accessories like a backpack, pickax, and pan. On its own, it works as a compact play scene. Paired with LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, or LEGO Peach from the interactive series, it becomes part of a larger route, with Action Tags on the tent and other elements triggering reactions.
It is a solid pick if you want something that fits easily on a shelf but still gives kids room to experiment with layouts.

 |
| LEGO Super Mario kart builds turn Mario and Luigi races into quick head-to-head matches on the table for MAR10 Day. |
If Mario Kart is a big part of your history with the series, this set goes straight at that memory. LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi lets you build two karts and stage balloon-busting races between them. Baby Mario drives his Biddybuggy while Baby Luigi takes the Tri-Speeder, with red and green balloons attached to each racer.
You can race the karts around a table, bump them into each other, and see who pops the most balloons. If you add interactive LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, or LEGO Peach from the related series, you also unlock Mario Kart sound and visual effects, which helps tie the brick builds back to the games you know.
For MAR10 Day, it works as a fun shared build and then as a quick game you can play in short bursts throughout the day.

LEGO Super Mario Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi (SKU 71438)
 |
| The LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set fits neatly on a shelf and brings classic SNES-era Mario into your MAR10 Day setup. |
For adults who grew up on side-scrolling Mario adventures, LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi is the set that will probably pull you in first. It recreates Mario riding Yoshi in a tall, vertical layout that looks like it was lifted straight from a classic Super Mario World background.
Once you finish building it, you can turn a handle to make Yoshi run with Mario on his back, and spin a dial to pop Yoshi’s tongue in and out. The scene is full of small touches that echo the original game, from the block layout to the colour choices. There is even an Action Tag so you can place LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, or LEGO Peach onto the build and trigger reactions.
As a display piece, it works well on a desk or shelf, especially if your space already leans into gaming collectibles. It signals your Mario history without taking over the entire room.
Key details:
- Age: 18+

LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant (SKU 71426)
 |
| The LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant set works as a desk-friendly display piece for long-time Nintendo fans. |
The Piranha Plant has been one of Mario’s most familiar enemies for decades, and this set gives it a dedicated display piece. LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant recreates the character with a posable head, mouth, stalk, and leaves, all rising out of a brick-built green pipe.
You can adjust the plant’s posture, open and close the jaws, and tweak the leaves until it sits just right beside other gaming items. Because it is built purely for display, there are no digital features to manage, just the brick model and two included coin elements.
For adult fans, it fits nicely alongside controllers, cartridges, or art books and adds a bit of Mario flavour to a shelf without looking out of place in a living room or office.
Key details:
- Age: 18+

LEGO Game Boy for Retro Nintendo Fans
LEGO Game Boy (SKU 72046)
 |
| The LEGO Game Boy set recreates the original handheld with brick-built Game Paks based on Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. |
If your strongest Mario memories involve a Game Boy screen under a reading light, this set is going to hit the right nerves. The LEGO Game Boy is a near 1:1 scale replica of the original handheld, complete with the familiar +Control Pad, A and B buttons, Select and Start buttons, and even a slot for Game Paks.
You build the shell, the screen, and the physical controls, then swap in brick-built cartridges based on The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening or Super Mario Land. Each Game Pak includes a lenticular screen element to suggest motion when you tilt it, plus a stand for display.
Once it is complete, the Game Boy works best as a centrepiece on a shelf or desk. It has enough detail to catch the eye of anyone who spent afternoons working through levels on a tiny green screen, and it pairs well with LEGO’s other Nintendo display sets.
