Regrettably, they didn’t disclose any specific sets then, but today they made it official. In all, six new collections have been unveiled!

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.
