LEGO set 72044, “Mario Kart: Piranha Plant Power-Up Pursuit”, belongs to the Super Mario theme and depicts a scene inspired by the Mario Kart universe. Released in 2025, it contains 588 pieces and has no minifigures listed by Rebrickable.
This model connects the LEGO Super Mario theme with Mario Kart imagery, placing a Piranha Plant at the centre of the subject. Set 72044 therefore fits among video game based builds that focus on a recognisable scene rather than a neutral backdrop.
The listed contents comprise 588 pieces. No named minifigures or characters are included in the supplied data, so the set is best described as a build focused on constructed elements and scene setting. Specific play functions or mechanisms are not confirmed here.
It can serve as a display piece alongside other Super Mario models, or as a basis for free play around a Mario Kart chase. In a collection, it stands as a themed entry centred on a Piranha Plant pursuit, without a character line-up to document.
