Images of LEGO’s unannounced 16-bit Super Mario World set have leaked online.
Jay’s Brick Blog spotted a listing for the Super Mario World Mario & Yoshi set, which is based on Nintendo’s 1990 SNES classic, on a Singaporean LEGO Certified Store. The listing, now removed, included a number of images and an October 1, 2024 release date.

Singapore LEGO Certified Store The Brick Shop has revealed a new LEGO Super Mario World set with Mario & Yoshi (71438).https://t.co/TfnMhcdzGT#LEGO #Nintendo #SuperMario #Mario #SDCC #SDCC24 pic.twitter.com/QPglC2339W
The 1,215-piece set includes a 16-bit caped Mario who rides Yoshi, and what looks like a hand crank that makes Yoshi stick out his tongue. Western pricing is yet to be revealed, but local pricing suggests an approximate $160 cost in the U.S.
An official reveal looks likely at San Diego Comic-Con, which kicks off today, July 25. Attendees have already spotted what looks like a tease for the set at the show.
