The LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant is a 540-piece display set for adult builders, inspired by the recognizable enemy from the Super Mario games. The finished model stands over 9 inches tall in a buildable green warp pipe that holds the plant upright. A poseable head, mouth, stalk, and leaves let you set the plant in different positions. Two yellow LEGO coins also come in the set, storable inside the pipe with a release button mechanism.
Classic Super Mario Display Piece
The Piranha Plant has been a Super Mario staple since the original 1985 arcade release, popping out of green warp pipes to snap at Mario and Luigi as you navigate the levels. This LEGO set captures the specific character as a static display piece, with the pipe and plant built entirely from bricks. Eight printed dome bricks form the spotted head, so you don’t need to apply any stickers during the build.
Printed dome bricks form the spotted head, so the finished Piranha Plant looks curved and cartoonish rather than blocky. Studs barely show on the pipe underneath, either, which is unusual for a LEGO model of this size. Ball joints along the stalk and in the neck let the head tilt forward, backward, and side to side after the build is complete.
Articulation in the Piranha Plant model gives you real posing flexibility. The mouth opens and closes, the head tilts, the stalk pivots at the base, and the two leaves rotate independently. Two yellow tile pieces representing Super Mario coins fit into the top of the pipe and are released by pressing a button at the bottom. The finished model doubles as a coin bank, mirroring how Mario collects coins by breaking blocks and passing through pipes in the games.
Display size on the finished model is about 9 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep. The 18+ rating puts the Piranha Plant in LEGO’s adult collector line, alongside the Mighty Bowser 71411 and the Super Mario 64 Question Block 71395 for anyone building out a Super Mario LEGO shelf.
LEGO has been releasing Super Mario sets since 2020, with the Piranha Plant one of several character-focused display models in the 18+ adult collector line. At $48, down from $60, this drops the price into the range where a solid Nintendo-themed gift makes sense for a birthday, holiday, or personal treat. If you already own the Mighty Bowser set, or you’re building out a video game collectibles shelf, the Piranha Plant fits into the same aesthetic without breaking the budget.
