Lego Mario Kart is officially over the finishing line with a full reveal spinning out of Gamescom 2024, and its headliners seem to be Baby Mario, Luigi, and Peach (no, I didn't have that on my bingo card either). Due to drift onto shelves in January 2025, the range includes six sets to begin with. The Lego Mario Kart lineup includes the three kids (who I'm fairly certain aren't road legal, seeing as they're still in diapers), Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, and my personal go-to, Lemmy.
Because this is part of the full Super Mario range - which already includes a few of the best Lego sets , namely The Mighty Bowser and Piranha Plant - you'll also be able to add the interactive and full-grown Mario, Peach, and Luigi figures to your karts for audio and visual effects taken from the video game series. Naturally, these kits include plenty of accessories pulled straight from the games and a course to go with them. Baby Mario and Luigi come with the balloons from the Balloon Battle mode, and I swear they have violence in their eyes.
Anyway. I imagine you can create some pretty wild tracks if you combine all that with the existing Super Mario kits. Design director of the Lego group, Simon Kent, says in a press release that "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.
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!" All of the Lego Mario Kart sets will arrive on January 1, 2025, and they range from cheaper $14.99 / £12.
99 kits to the full Grand Prix box at $79.99 / $69.99.
