<span itemprop="name">Great for Nintendo fans</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have enjoyed Mario Kart for almost as long as I have enjoyed Lego, dating back to the Super Nintendo. This set is a great way to remember all of the fun times playing Mario Kart as well as spend quality time building it together with my daughter. I really enjoyed the details of the castle and carts. I didn't expect the shells to work, that was a fun surprise from Lego. As always the design is on point and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Highly recommended!</span>

<span itemprop="name">Un pure plaisir</span>
<span itemprop="description">[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] J’ai adoré construire le château de Bowser avec mon fils. C’était un vrai moment de complicité en famille, à la fois ludique et stimulant. Les figurines sont très détaillées et réalistes, ce qui rend l’ensemble encore plus vivant. Le set est assez complexe avec toutes ses petites pièces, mais c’est justement ce qui le rend intéressant : on réfléchit, on s’entraide, et quand on se trompe, on corrige ensemble. Au final, on est super fiers du résultat. Je recommande vraiment ce coffret, autant pour le plaisir de montage que pour le temps de partage qu’il permet.</span>

<span itemprop="name">slice of video game history brought into the real</span>
<span itemprop="description">[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every Mario Kart fan has a love–hate relationship with Bowser’s Castle. It’s the track that makes your palms sweat: lava pits, Thwomps crashing down, and fire bars spinning just when you think you’ve got the perfect lead. LEGO’s Mario Kart™ – Bowser’s Castle (72039) set takes all that chaotic energy and transforms it into a brick-built playset that’s as much fun to display as it is to race through.
First Impressions
At 1,068 pieces, this isn’t a casual afternoon build—it’s a project. Opening the box, you’re greeted by bold orange lava elements, dark grey castle walls, and a handful of instantly recognizable character builds. The color palette alone screams “Mario Kart.” Before you even start, you know this set is going to capture the drama of the infamous track.
The Build
The construction process is a nice balance of repetition and clever engineering. The castle gate feels substantial, with jagged towers and spiked accents that echo Bowser’s lair perfectly. What makes this set stand out is the way the design incorporates movement. The Fire Bar is mounted to spin, the Thwomp drops with a lever pull, and even the walls can fold open for different play setups. These aren’t just decorative details—they’re interactive traps straight out of the video game.
As a builder, I appreciated that it wasn’t overly complex but still kept me engaged. The mechanisms are simple enough for younger builders to operate but satisfying enough that adults will admire the ingenuity.
The Characters & Karts
No Bowser’s Castle would be complete without its namesake, and the brick-built Bowser included here doesn’t disappoint. He’s big, chunky, and surprisingly expressive for a pile of bricks. Alongside him is Yoshi, whose bright green figure pops beautifully against the darker tones of the castle.
The real stars, though, are the two karts: Bowser’s ATV and Yoshi’s Mach 8. They’re sturdy, instantly recognizable, and race well across any flat surface. Whether you’re staging epic duels or simply admiring them on a shelf, they capture the joy of Mario Kart perfectly.
Supporting characters—Thwomp, a Lava Bubble, and even a cheeky Banana—add extra personality. The Thwomp is particularly fun thanks to its dropping mechanism, which never gets old during play.
Play vs. Display
This set lives in a sweet spot between toy and collector’s piece. On a shelf, the castle looks imposing and colorful, especially with the fiery orange pieces glowing under light. As a playset, it delivers hours of fun with moving traps, interactive obstacles, and the ability to integrate with LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures if you already own them.
For younger builders, the action features will be irresistible. For adult fans, the nostalgia factor and display value make it worthwhile.
Final Thoughts
The LEGO Mario Kart™ – Bowser’s Castle (72039) set is more than just another LEGO build—it’s a slice of video game history brought into the real world. It nails the atmosphere of the in-game track, balances fun building techniques with interactive play, and offers enough character variety to keep things interesting.
It’s not the largest LEGO set you’ll ever tackle, but it doesn’t need to be. This is Mario Kart distilled: fast, fun, and just the right amount of chaos. Whether you’re buying it for a younger gamer or adding it to an adult collection, Bowser’s Castle is a winner’s circle build.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Le résultat final est magnifique</span>
<span itemprop="description">[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] L’assemblage est facile. La notice d’utilisation est claire et compréhensible. J’ai adoré le fait que chaque partie soit répartie dans des petits sachets. Cela facilite le montage et permet de ne pas mélanger les pièces mais également de s’y retrouver en cas de pause. A l’intérieur de ces petits sachets, se trouvent des pièces supplémentaires ( en cas de perte).Il existe même une application pour nous aider à réaliser la construction. On retrouve des personnages célèbres Yoshi, le compagnon sans faille de Mario et Bowser le rival de ce dernier. Le résultat est magnifique. Il y a de la couleur, du relief, du mouvement, j’adore. Bowser et Yoshi peuvent faire la course dans leur engin roulant, le Quad standard et le Proto 8, lancer des carapaces… Il y a aussi le Thwomp qui monte et qui descend, la boule de lave qui tombe, la boule de feu qui tourne… La qualité est au rendez-vous, comme d’habitude avec Lego. Lego et Super Mario, une combinaison bien réussie. Je valide.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Lego château de Bowser</span>
<span itemprop="description">[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] Les Lego sont formidables pour les enfants. J’avoue que même plaisir à les monter avec eux. Là c’est le château de Bowser . Très bien emballé. Il suffit de suivre numéro après numéro pour le montage. Polyvalent car les enfants peuvent jouer avec le château ou bien avec les figurines interactives. Le prix est assez élevé, mais normal pour la qualité des Lego car on a 1068 pièces dans le paquet. Si on fait attention qu’on en prend soin, les Lego sont durables, on peut les monter et les remonter ensuite. Où les mettre en collection , j’ai passé un petit pinceau pour le nettoyage pour la poussière bien entendu. Je recommande fortement cette boîte de Lego car mon petit cœur est vraiment ravi avec son château de Bowser.</span>
