Nintendo Teases LEGO Mario Minifigure Sets Arriving in 2027
Nintendo and LEGO continue to expand their successful collaboration with the announcement of a new series of LEGO Mario minifigure sets, slated for release in 2027.
This upcoming line marks an exciting evolution for the LEGO Super Mario franchise, which has already captured the attention of both Nintendo enthusiasts and LEGO collectors worldwide. The announcement came via a teaser video shared on Nintendo of America's official social media channels on March 10, 2026.
In the video, a classic LEGO-sized Mario minifigure is seen emerging from a signature Warp Pipe, eliciting a wave of positive reaction from fans.
This tease comes after years of calls from the community for authentic minifigure versions of Mario, in contrast to the larger, electronic interactive figures that defined the previous Super Mario LEGO sets.
Up to this point, LEGO Mario products have been known for their innovative, tech-enhanced play features but have not included traditional minifigures, making this an eagerly anticipated development in the partnership. Previous LEGO Super Mario sets have enjoyed both critical acclaim and commercial success since the launch of the first interactive starter packs in 2020.
These sets combined building and digital play, leveraging the popularity of Nintendo's iconic gaming franchise with LEGO’s creative platform.
However, demand has remained high for more classic, minifig-style representations of characters like Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi—an aspect now finally being addressed. While the teaser primarily highlighted Mario, additional verified reports indicate that this new lineup will also feature Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi in classic LEGO minifigure form.
In a notable design enhancement, Yoshi will be constructed with a removable shell, allowing other minifigures to ride on his back—catering to long-time fans familiar with this gameplay mechanic from classic Nintendo titles.
Details regarding the full range of characters and set designs are expected to emerge as the 2027 launch date approaches. LEGO and Nintendo’s ongoing partnership has seen significant milestones, with robust sales and positive reception across the LEGO Super Mario sets since their Nintendo Direct unveil and launch in the eShop.
By introducing traditional minifigures, the companies are poised to further energize their global fan base and collectors alike. With over a year until release, the anticipation surrounding the new LEGO Mario minifigure sets underscores Nintendo and LEGO’s influence on both the gaming and construction toy industries.
As new information is confirmed, industry observers are expecting additional announcements and previews through future Nintendo Direct presentations and LEGO channels. Stay tuned for more updates on the LEGO Super Mario minifigure series as Nintendo and LEGO continue to reveal details leading up to the 2027 launch.
