The new range — announced following earlier teasers during MAR10 Day social posts — is scheduled to arrive on January 1, 2027 via LEGO.com, LEGO Stores and select global retailers.

Paraphrasing Patrick Otley, Design Manager at the LEGO Group: bringing Super Mario to minifigure form opens a new chapter in the company’s collaboration with Nintendo, giving children greater freedom to build stories, extend playtime and engage with iconic characters in physical form. For Nintendo fans, Super Mario remains a cornerstone IP across Nintendo platforms including Nintendo Switch. The new LEGO Super Mario sets expand the physical-play options for that audience while the LEGO Group continues to share updates at LEGO.com/themes/super-mario.
