Nintendo has announced a new line of Mario Kart World collectible carts for the Japanese market, launching October 10, 2026.
Sold through the Nintendo Tokyo store and promoted via the company’s official store accounts, the Wall Run Collection ties directly to a gameplay mechanic from Mario Kart World and packages six character carts in a blind box format or as a complete set.
The lineup includes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and Princess Daisy.
Individual blind-box figures are priced at ¥2,200 (about $14 / £10.50) while the full set of six is listed at ¥13,200 (about $84 / £63.40).
Nintendo’s official store accounts publicized the collection on September 29, 2026, noting the toys are inspired by the in-game “wall run” technique and are designed to run along the curve of an included circular steel can.
In journalistic terms, Nintendo’s store messaging explained that the Wall Run Collection replicates the game’s wall-running mechanic: when a cart is pulled back and placed vertically on the can’s side, magnets in the figure let it cling to the curved surface and drive in a circular pattern.
The product page also cautions that the magnetic mechanism is optimized for the supplied steel can and may not function reliably on other vertical surfaces.
The products will be available at Nintendo’s physical retail locations in Japan; the company has not announced any plans for an international release.
Retail availability is currently limited to the Nintendo Tokyo store, and the social-media promotion used the store account hashtags for Nintendo TOKYO/OSAKA/KYOTO/FUKUOKA.
The toy announcement arrives while Mario Kart World continues to receive live support: earlier in October 2026 the game received a free update that added new Knockout Tours and additional courses based on tracks from the SNES original Super Mario Kart.
Those updates were part of Nintendo’s ongoing post-launch content support for the title.
For collectors and fans, the Wall Run Collection ties physical merchandise closely to a recognizable in-game trick, with a clear retail window and pricing.
Interested buyers in Japan can expect the set to appear in store on October 10, 2026; outside-Japan availability remains unconfirmed.
