Mario Kart will officially become a LEGO game in 2025. The LEGO Group announced that six sets will be released on January 1, featuring characters such as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, Donkey Kong and Toad.
While regular LEGO Super Mario has been around for a few years, this is the first time the beloved kart racing series is getting the same treatment. Prices for the six sets range from $14.99 to $79.99.
The sets are also compatible with the main LEGO Mario line, as placing the Mario, Luigi or Peach characters from these sets in each kart will trigger recent sound and visual effects that simulate starting a race, honking, drifting the kart, gliding, collecting coins and much more.
“With lively characters, customisable karts and unique track elements that pave the way for endless fun, these sets will inspire fans’ creativity as they transform unexpected surfaces into the ultimate Mario Kart track,” says LEGO.
The cheapest option is the $14.99 Yoshi Bike, a 133-piece set that features a little blue Yoshi riding a little green Yoshi Bike, one of the vehicles featured in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Next up is the $19.99, 174-piece Standard Kart, which includes a Toad mechanic figure but not the main driver, and is therefore likely intended for the Mario figure from the main LEGO Super Mario sets.
The Donkey Kong and DK Jumbo set is priced at $34.99 and contains 387 pieces, the Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi set is priced at $29.99 and contains 390 pieces, and the Toad’s Garage set is priced at $39.99 and contains 390 pieces.
The largest set costs twice as much at $79.99 and consists of 823 pieces. Baby Peach & Grand Prix is therefore the centerpiece of the Mario Kart series and includes starting line and track markers and three drivers: Baby Peach, Lemmy, and Toad.
The Mario Kart sets were previously revealed in 2024, but have only just been fully revealed. Other than that, they’re not particularly surprising, as LEGO and Nintendo are no strangers to each other, with numerous collaborations having preceded them.
The brick-based Nintendo Entertainment System version was one of the larger sets, while the Super Mario line included countless different products like the Luigi Starter Set, Dry Bowser’s Castle, and even a massive 2,807-piece Bowser set that connects to others. A Super Mario 64 set was also released in 2021.
