LEGO Super Mario set 71398, Dorrie's Beachfront Expansion Set, depicts a beachfront scene focused on Dorrie.

This model sits within the LEGO Super Mario theme, which turns locations and characters from the video game series into buildable play modules. Set 71398 focuses on Dorrie in a beachfront setting. Within the theme, it adds a coastal scene rather than another mainly land based course section.

It should therefore not be described as a traditional minifigure based character pack. The build is best understood as a compact themed environment, combining beach related construction with a Dorrie model.

It is suited to builders who want to extend a LEGO Super Mario layout for play, display, or collecting. The set can serve as a section within a larger arrangement or as a small standalone scene within the same theme. In a Super Mario collection, its main distinction is the seaside subject matter and the focus on Dorrie rather than on minifigures.
