Mario Kart fans, get ready to build your dream circuit brick by brick.
To celebrate Mario Day on March 10, LEGO and Nintendo have unveiled a brand-new collector set that’s already making waves among gamers and builders alike.
An ultra-detailed set for true Mario Kart fans
Made up of 1,972 pieces, this LEGO Mario Kart set is one of the largest in the Super Mario range. It allows fans to construct an incredibly detailed version of Mario in his iconic red-and-blue kart.
The set includes:
- A fully articulated Mario figure (with movable head and arms)
- His faithful kart inspired by the video game
- A stylish display stand designed to create a dynamic “drift” effect
With impressive dimensions 22 cm high, 32 cm long, and 19 cm wide this model is more than just a toy. It’s a collector’s showpiece, perfect for a geek shelf, office desk, or display cabinet.
You can discover the set directly on LEGO’s official website.
A tribute to Mario Kart… and the start of a new collection?
This release could mark the beginning of a broader Mario Kart series. Imagine future sets featuring Luigi, Peach, Toad, or even Donkey Kong in their own brick-built karts.
There’s also room for creative expansion: customizable accessories like gliders, propellers, or alternate wheels—mirroring the personalization options in the game itself.
If LEGO follows the path of its successful Star Wars or Marvel lines, we could see a modular Mario Kart universe emerge, combining display models with interactive build extensions.
It feels like this Rainbow Road journey is only just beginning.
Price and Availability
The LEGO Mario Kart set is already available for pre-order on LEGO’s official site for $169.99 / €169.99. First deliveries are scheduled to begin on May 15, 2025.
Given the popularity of both LEGO and Nintendo franchises, this set is likely to become a must-have for collectors and nostalgic gamers alike.
Previous LEGO Mario Highlights
This isn’t LEGO’s first tribute to the Mario universe. Past releases include:
- The Question Block set inspired by Super Mario 64
- A pixel-inspired mechanical Mario riding Yoshi
- A detailed brick-built Piranha Plant
Each of these sets earned a special place in fans’ collections and this new Mario Kart edition continues that tradition.
With its mix of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and display-worthy design, this LEGO Mario Kart set is shaping up to be one of 2025’s standout collector releases.
