Lego is impressing fans with a series of new sets in its lineup. From the remarkable Steamboat in its Ideas theme to the stunning Disney castle, and now, a set that not only pays homage to MAR10 day but also allows you to recreate a legendary part of video game history.
The newly revealed Lego Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart set enables you to build a larger-than-life Mario and his iconic kart from the video game. Priced at $169.99 / £149.99 / AU$249.99, this set is currently available for preorder and is set to start shipping on May 15, 2025. Given the popularity of Super Mario theme sets and other impressive Lego sets, there is a chance that this set might quickly go on backorder.
This exciting set has also sparked anticipation for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and the new Mario Kart game. More details about these releases are expected on April 2, 2025, during the Nintendo Direct event. In the meantime, fans can enjoy building and playing with this new Lego set.

The Mario Kart set features meticulous attention to detail. With 1,972 pieces, you can construct both Mario and the kart with wheels included. Once built, you can place the kart on a flat surface using the wheels or showcase it on a stand that you’ll also construct.
Additionally, the kart’s design allows for interactive elements. Utilizing what seems to be Technic parts, you can tilt the kart to simulate driving and even move it left or right to imitate a drift or sharp turn – reminiscent of racing on Rainbow Road, Koopa Cape, or Mushroom Bridge.
Mario’s poseable arms and moveable head allow you to customize his appearance, making him face different directions or pose for action.
Once assembled, the Mario Kart set stands over eight inches tall and 12.5 inches long, making it an impressive display piece for your office, living room, or counter. Although the set is designed for display purposes, you can still enjoy playing with it by removing it from the stand and rolling it on its wheels.
If you preorder the Mario Kart set before March 11, 2025, you will receive a mini Mario Kart – Toad (Pit Crew) set as a bonus. Additionally, Lego Insiders members can earn double points on purchases through March 11, 2025.
For those eager to start building sooner, Amazon offers the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant for just $47.99, marked down from $59.99, providing another enjoyable Lego set for display purposes.
