As someone who grew up playing Mario Kart and building LEGO sets, I can hardly contain my excitement for these upcoming releases! The collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO is a dream come true for many fans like myself. I remember spending countless hours racing on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and constructing intricate LEGO creations – now I get to combine both passions!
Previously in March, LEGO gave a brief sneak peek into a partnership inspired by Nintendo’s iconic Mario Kart series. Regrettably, they didn’t disclose any specific sets then, but today they made it official. In all, six new collections have been unveiled! Exciting news for long-term LEGO Super Mario enthusiasts as some characters will be introduced in brick form for the very first time – namely Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Peach. Here are the announced sets along with their respective prices:
- 72031 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Yoshi Bike – $14.99, 133 pieces
- 72032 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Standard Kart – $19.99, 174 pieces
- 72033 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo – $34.99, 387 pieces
- 72034 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi – $29.99, 321 pieces
- 72035 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Toad’s Garage – $39.99, 390 pieces
- 72036 Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Peach & Grand Prix Set – $79.99, 823 pieces
Similar to how past Super Mario sets incorporate electronic elements when using characters like Mario, Luigi, and Peach from the current starter packs, the upcoming Mario Kart LEGO sets will also include such features. These electronic aspects bring the figures to life with sounds inspired by the Mario Kart video games. You’ll hear noises related to drifting, horn honking, gliding, and much more. According to Simon Kent, design director at the LEGO Group, the new Nintendo sets are quite exciting!
“Kent is thrilled beyond belief to announce the unveiling of the newest LEGO Super Mario Mario Kart sets, which have been highly anticipated by fans. He can hardly wait for builders of all ages to rev up their engines and transform their homes into real-life Mario Kart tracks where they can race with friends and family. The new LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart sets offer a captivating building experience and replicate the exhilarating action of the classic video game series, demonstrating that the world is your track like never before!”
The new Mario Kart sets will be released on January 1st, 2025.
