Nintendo has officially announced the release of the 'LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart' set, following leaks and teasers that have kept Nintendo Switch and LEGO fans eagerly awaiting details.
The new collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO combines the iconic world of Mario Kart with LEGO’s renowned brick-building format, offering a collector-grade model that pays homage to Mario’s legacy on the racetrack.
Originally hinted at during last year’s MAR10 Day celebrations, Nintendo sparked excitement among fans by teasing a silhouette that suggested a more intricate Mario Kart set than previously released kits.
After a year of anticipation, Nintendo has now introduced the full reveal, dispatching a first-look video trailer and confirming key details for global fans.
The 'LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart' set is scheduled to launch on May 15, 2025.

The UK retail price is set at £149.99, with pricing in other regions including $249.99 AUD and estimated $158 USD.
The set can already be pre-ordered through the official LEGO website.
Nintendo has shared that this LEGO collaboration stands out for its advanced design, higher piece count, and collectible display quality.
The Mario figure, along with the meticulously detailed Standard Kart, features posable limbs and a sturdy display stand, highlighting a dynamic and authentic recreation reminiscent of in-game imagery from the Mario Kart series on Nintendo Switch.
In a recent statement, Nintendo described the kit as the “most detailed Mario Kart LEGO build to date”—a testament to the ongoing innovation seen in their LEGO Super Mario partnership.
To celebrate the launch, early customers will receive a miniature Toad’s Pit Crew set as a complimentary bonus, adding further value for dedicated collectors.
This limited-time offer is only available via the LEGO web store while supplies last.
Bricks Megastore, the certified LEGO store portal for Australia and New Zealand, played a role in revealing early details of the set, underlining global excitement for this flagship release.
The new Mario Kart set builds upon the successful lineage of LEGO Super Mario collaborations, which have consistently captivated both Nintendo Switch players and the broader adult collector community.
