Summary
The relationship betweenLegoandNintendohas been a hugely successful one, a range that started with Mario but has been extended toAnimal Crossingandwill welcome The Legend Of Zelda this September. Right after that, a new Mario set will be hitting the Lego store, but it’s not like most of the others we’ve seen until now. A set aimed at the older Mario fans out there as it features Mario riding Yoshi inSuper Mario Worldin all of its pixelated glory.
Lego hasn’t officially revealed the set yet. However, a store that stocks Lego in Singapore added its page a little early. Even though the page was quickly taken down,Jay’s Brick Blogshared the info and images so the internet has them now. The set is based on Mario and Yoshi’s looks in Super Mario World. Mario’s debut on theSNES, and in 16-bit, and the first time the gaming world was ever introduced to Yoshi.
Not only does the subject matter of the next Mario set make it one that’s aimed at Lego adults, but the number of pieces needed to complete the set implies that too. One of the bigger Lego Mario sets so far, it takes 1,215 pieces to complete the image of Super Mario World’s Mario and Yoshi in Lego form. Some of those pieces do more than just look good, though. While its function won’t be confirmed until Lego makes its official reveal and shows off the finer details, the appearance of a crank at the base of the set means it can move in some way.

Even without official confirmation of what the crank does, the images of the set that were shared too early mean we can make a very educated guess. The picture on the front of the set’s box shows Yoshi with his mouth closed, whereas another picture of the set shows him with his mouth open, his tongue emerging like he’s about to eat an apple or a Goomba. What we don’t know is just how far Lego Yoshi’s tongue will emerge from its mouth, or if the crank also affects the set in other ways.
The release date was listed as July 19, 2025, and the set was priced at 209.99 SGD. That’s roughly $157, but it’s unclear exactly how much the set will cost in the US. With images and a release date ready to go, it’s unlikely we’ll be waiting long for an official reveal from Lego. It’s been a big week for the toymakers so far already withits first four Fortnite sets revealedon Tuesday, and thena Lego recreation of Shadow the Hedgheog’s headwhich has since been given a price - $69.99.
