In celebration of MAR10 Day, LEGO and Nintendo are deepening their partnership with an exciting new product reveal: the Luigi Mario Kart set, part of the renowned LEGO Super Mario line.
Set to launch on April 1, 2026, this highly anticipated building kit is primed to attract both seasoned collectors and Nintendo enthusiasts worldwide. The LEGO Luigi Mario Kart set is a substantial construction experience, comprising an impressive 2,234 pieces.
The main attraction is a detailed, poseable Luigi minifigure, confidently seated at the helm of the first-ever large-scale LEGO adaptation of the Mach 8 kart—a staple vehicle from the beloved Mario Kart franchise.
Nintendo’s collaboration with LEGO continues to deliver creative, interactive experiences that celebrate its iconic characters and games, following the sustained success of previous LEGO Super Mario sets. Once assembled, the Mach 8 kart makes for a striking display.
Builders can showcase the model on its included stand at animated, race-inspired angles that faithfully recreate the thrill of a Mario Kart race, complete with a dynamic mid-drift pose.
LEGO has engineered additional interactive play features: the kart can be detached from its stand and physically rolled forward, with a functioning steering wheel to turn the front wheels and a mechanism that spins the flame exhaust by moving the back wheels—adding motion and playability alongside static display value. Physically, the finished model measures over 10 inches (25 centimeters) tall, 16 inches (41 centimeters) long, and 9 inches (23 centimeters) wide.
With its significant piece count and detailed engineering, the Luigi Mario Kart set is priced at $180 USD.
Fans eager to secure the set can already place pre-orders via official LEGO channels. Martin Maier, Senior Design Lead for LEGO Super Mario, expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the unique fusion of interactive features and authentic representation that distinguishes the Luigi Mach 8 set within the LEGO Super Mario collection.
According to Maier, the set is designed to "capture the dynamic spirit and competitive edge of Mario Kart with creative build techniques and playful function." The Luigi Mario Kart Mach 8 set joins an expanding roster of LEGO Super Mario products, which have consistently attracted attention from both the LEGO and gaming communities since their debut.
As MAR10 Day continues to inspire new announcements and celebrations, Nintendo and LEGO’s latest collaboration stands out as a centerpiece for fans and collectors alike. In other MAR10 Day updates, Nintendo has released new trailers for "Super Mario Bros.
Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park" and "Yoshi and the Mysterious Book," further energizing the Nintendo Switch community.
These new products and trailers underscore Nintendo’s ongoing innovation in both digital and physical entertainment experiences. For those looking to expand their Nintendo collectibles or seeking the latest in LEGO gaming crossovers, the Luigi Mario Kart Mach 8 set is shaping up to be a must-have addition in 2026.
