LEGO set 71382, Piranha Plant Puzzling Challenge Expansion Set, belongs to the Super Mario theme and depicts a modular challenge built around Piranha Plants.

This set sits within the LEGO Super Mario theme and focuses on one of the licence’s familiar hazards, the Piranha Plant. It is therefore best understood as a course expansion rather than a self-contained display model.

The build uses 267 pieces to create a compact Super Mario play segment.

It is suited to collectors and players who build up LEGO Super Mario layouts and want to add a plant-themed obstacle. On display, it reads as a small scene from the wider game world, especially when placed near related modules. Within the theme, it belongs among the add-on course sections rather than character packs or large standalone models.
