Celebrate MAR10 Day with bricks, nostalgia, and a little chaos
March 10, or MAR10 Day, is the unofficial holiday for Nintendo fans — a chance to celebrate Mario, one of gaming’s most iconic characters. With The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hitting theatres April 1, nostalgia is in full swing, and LEGO makes it easy to build, play, and display your favorite Mushroom Kingdom moments.
The LEGO Super Mario line has something for everyone: interactive builds for kids, retro throwbacks for longtime fans, and display-worthy pieces that make your shelves feel a little more magical.
Here’s what’s worth stacking this year:
LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Interactive LEGO Mario
Price: $64.99 CAD
Think of this as a playable Mario level you get to build. The set runs from Start Pipe to Goal Pole, with an interactive LEGO Mario figure that collects coins as you guide him through challenges.
Bowser Jr., Yoshi, and a Goomba join the fray, along with Bowser Jr.’s Junior Clown Car and a balancing platform for a little chaotic fun. At 218 pieces, it’s perfect for kids, but even adults will enjoy flipping the coins and seeing Mario react.
LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant
Price: $79.99 CAD
Some characters are iconic villains for a reason. This 540-piece Piranha Plant emerges from its pipe with a poseable head, stalk, and leaves. No interactive bells or whistles — it’s just a fun, sculptural piece for display, perfect for adult collectors who like a touch of Mushroom Kingdom mischief.
LEGO Super Mario Captain Toad’s Camp
Price: $17.99 CAD
This tiny set packs a lot of charm. Captain Toad’s Camp comes with a tent, bonfire, collapsible bridge, and a hidden treasure chest. Figures include Captain Toad, a Goomba, and a turnip, with accessories like a backpack and pickaxe.
It’s a mini adventure on its own but also hooks into the interactive LEGO Mario system if you want to get extra playful. Think of it as a tiny corner of the Mushroom Kingdom to expand your collection.
LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi
Price: $39.99 CAD
The chaos of Mario Kart comes to bricks. Baby Mario in his Biddybuggy and Baby Luigi on the Tri-Speeder can battle it out with six buildable balloons. Pop theirs before they pop yours.
At 321 pieces, it’s the perfect set to stage fast, silly competitions — or just admire the little karts lined up on your desk.
LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi
Price: $169.99 CAD
This set is a full-on nostalgia trip. Pixel-style Mario rides Yoshi in a side-scrolling build, complete with a handle that makes Yoshi run and a tongue that pops in and out.
Standing more than 15 inches tall, this isn’t just a toy — it’s a display piece for your desk, shelf, or gaming nook.
LEGO Game Boy
Price: $79.99 CAD
Technically not a Mario set, but you can’t talk nostalgia without it. This near 1:1 scale replica of the original Game Boy hits every detail: +Control Pad, A and B buttons, contrast dial, and cartridge slot. You can even swap in brick-built Super Mario Land or Zelda cartridges.
If you grew up gaming in the backseat with a pocket full of AA batteries, this one hits like a time machine.
Whether you’re building for play or display, these LEGO Super Mario sets are a solid excuse to dust off your nostalgia, stack some bricks, and maybe even reclaim a little of your childhood. MAR10 Day just makes it official.
