LEGO and Nintendo are expanding their successful collaboration with a new addition to the LEGO Mario Kart lineup, focusing on Mario’s iconic brother, Luigi.
This reveal follows the recent launches of highly anticipated Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time LEGO sets, highlighting a landmark year for fans of both brick-building and classic Nintendo franchises. The teaser, posted across Nintendo of America and LEGO’s official social media channels, offers a glimpse of last year's LEGO Mario Kart set before Luigi makes a dramatic entrance on the right side of the screen.
Although the close-up shot lacks full detail, Luigi’s hallmark green cap, sleeve, and the tagline 'Racing runs in the family' signal his debut in the Adult LEGO Mario Kart series. While fans have been anticipating a Luigi-themed set, neither Nintendo nor LEGO has shared specific details regarding pricing or release date for the Luigi Mario Kart set.
For context, the inaugural LEGO Mario Kart set retailed for £149.99 in the UK and $169.99 in the US upon its release last year.
It’s reasonable to expect the Luigi set to follow a similar pricing strategy, reflecting its positioning as a premium collectible for adult fans. Nintendo and LEGO’s collaborations have consistently proven to be popular with collectors and enthusiasts, with previous releases like LEGO Super Mario and the NES set garnering strong critical and commercial success.
These premium sets are designed not just for play, but also for display, blending nostalgic Nintendo IP with the timeless appeal of LEGO’s buildable formats. As of now, both companies are keeping further details under wraps, inviting fans to stay tuned for future announcements.
Those who have already invested in the LEGO Mario Kart series can look forward to expanding their collections soon, as Luigi takes center stage alongside his famous brother. Given the momentum of 2023 and 2024’s releases, this new Luigi Mario Kart set exemplifies the ongoing partnership between LEGO and Nintendo—one that continues to drive excitement among both gaming and toy communities.
