Nintendo and LEGO have elevated their collaboration to new heights by officially announcing the debut of a classic Mario minifigure as part of a fresh wave of LEGO Super Mario sets, set for release in 2025.
This news, confirmed by both companies via their official channels including LEGO's Instagram, represents a pivotal moment for fans who have long requested a standard Mario minifigure, rather than the previously released electronic interactive figure. The LEGO Super Mario partnership first launched in 2020 with sets designed to blend traditional LEGO play with interactive electronics, bringing the Mushroom Kingdom to the physical world in an innovative way.
While these sets have introduced unique builds and technology-driven play, the singular style of the existing Mario figure—a blocky, screen-inclusive character—left many enthusiasts and collectors yearning for a classic minifigure rendition of the beloved plumber. Now, following widespread anticipation, LEGO and Nintendo have announced the upcoming launch of official Mario minifigure sets.
In a clear statement, LEGO expressed enthusiasm about delivering what fans have been requesting: "We’re thrilled to introduce a genuine Mario minifigure as part of our expanding collaboration with Nintendo." While detailed set lineups remain under wraps, the brief teaser shared on social media offers a tantalizing glimpse, featuring Mario alongside the iconic warp pipe.
Further specifics—such as additional included characters or set features—will be revealed closer to the 2025 release date. This announcement arrives amid a wave of MAR10 (Mario Day) celebrations and fresh product unveilings.
Earlier today, LEGO also revealed the 18+ Luigi Mario Kart set, indicating the partnership continues to evolve by targeting both young fans and adult collectors.
In addition, the much-anticipated release date for the "Yoshi and the Mysterious Book" game was officially announced, marking a busy period for Mario-related news. Since the inception of LEGO Super Mario, the partnership has seen tremendous success.
Sets such as Bowser’s Castle Boss Battle and the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System have achieved strong sales and critical acclaim, winning industry awards and expanding the presence of Nintendo’s flagship franchise offline. The introduction of a classic Mario minifigure holds special significance for both fans and collectors, filling a longstanding gap in the product lineup and validating years of community feedback.
As more details emerge ahead of the 2025 launch, excitement continues to build for the next evolution in the LEGO and Nintendo partnership. Stay tuned for further announcements on the Nintendo Direct, LEGO Group’s official site, and the Nintendo Switch eShop as more set details become available.
