The Mario Kart series is probably the most played series on Nintendo Switch. Aside from the games itself, we’ve seen several toys and tie-ins, the most recent being the appearance of characters in the Super Mario Bros Movie last year. Fans of the Mario Kart series and collectors of LEGO® sets will have something to look forward to next year as not one but six LEGO® Super Mario™: Mario Kart™ sets will be available in 2025.

The addition of LEGO® versions of beloved characters in the Mario Kart universe brings a new dimension to an already popular franchise. Aside from the characters, you also get customizable karts and unique track items in each set so that collectors, fans, and builders will be able to experience the digital game in the physical universe, even though of course you won’t be able to actually race. At least, not like in the games.
The Yoshi Bike set includes the light-blue Yoshi, a shell item, and a brick-built bike and is made up of 133 pieces. The Standard Kart is a 174-piece set which has a buildable standard edition Mario Kart, a workstation, a Toad toy figure and a detachable Super Glider. The Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo set features the DK Jumbo kart and launch items like shells and a banana and has 387+ pieces.
Baby Mario vs Baby Luigi has 321 pieces and features the former in his Biddybuggy and the latter in his Tri-Speeder and includes 6 buildable balloons.
