LEGO debuts first Mario Kart sets

The world of Mario Kart is coming to LEGO.

Marking the latest expansion of LEGO’s partnership with Nintendo, six LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart sets are landing on January 1st, 2025.

The sets feature Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby Peach, along with their customisable karts and track items.

Fans can also add a LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi or LEGO Peach to the new Mario Kart sets to spark audio and visual effects like race-starting, horn-honking, kart-drifting and gliding sounds from the game. Players can also use these characters to scan Item Boxes, allowing them to collect extra coins and boost their score as they finish the race.

“We are beyond excited to turbo-charge our LEGO Super Mario universe with the reveal of these latest Mario Kart sets, that we know fans have been eagerly waiting for,” said Simon Kent, Design Director at the LEGO Group.

“We can’t wait for builders of all ages to put their pedal to the metal and bring Mario Kart races to brick-built reality at home with friends and family. The brand-new LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart sets provide an immersive building experience and capture the heart-pounding action of the beloved video game series – showing fans that the world is your track like never before!”
