Mario Kart is getting official LEGO in 2025.

The LEGO Group has announced six sets will be released on January 1 featuring characters such as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Toad.

While regular Super Mario LEGO has been available for a few years, this will be the first time the beloved kart racing franchise has enjoyed the same treatment. The six sets range in price from $14.99 to $79.99.

The sets are compatible with the main line of Mario LEGO too, as putting the Mario, Luigi, or Peach from those sets into each kart will prompt new sound and visual effects to emulate a race starting, horn honking, kart drifting, glider gliding, coin collecting, and more.

"With vibrant characters, customisable karts, and unique track items that will pave the way for endless play, these sets will get fans’ creative engines revving as they can turn unexpected surfaces into the ultimate Mario Kart track," LEGO said.

The cheapest option is the Yoshi Bike at $14.99, a 133 piece set featuring a little blue Yoshi riding a little green Yoshi Bike, one of the vehicles available in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Next up is the Standard Kart at $19.99 and 174 pieces, which comes with a Toad mechanic figure but not a main driver, and is therefore likely meant for the Mario figure from the mainline Super Mario LEGO sets.

Donkey Kong and DK Jumbo is $34.99 and comes with 387 pieces, Baby Mario versus Baby Luigi is $29.99 and comes with 390 pieces, and Toad's Garage is $39.99 and comes with 390 pieces.

The biggest set is twice that price, coming in at $79.99 with 823 pieces. Baby Peach & Grand Prix is therefore the centre piece of the Mario Kart range, and comes with the start line and track markers alongside three racers: Baby Peach, Lemmy, and Toad.

Mario Kart sets were teased earlier in 2024 but have only been full revealed now. They're otherwise not particularly surprising, as LEGO and Nintendo are far from strangers with several collaborations preceding these.

A brick-based version of the Nintendo Entertainment System console was one of the larger sets, while the Super Mario line has included myriad different products such as the Luigi Starter Set, Dry Bowser's Castle, and even a massive 2,807 piece Bowser set that connects to the others. A Super Mario 64 set was also released in 2021.
