LEGO Mario Kart and 3 New Sets Announced for Mario Day

Nintendo and LEGO dropped a surprise announcement by revealing that a LEGO Mario Kart collab is coming in 2025. The announcement was a special reveal at the very end of the MAR10 Day presentation LEGO held on Saturday just before the official "Mario Day" holiday on March 10th. Several LEGO Mario sets were revealed during the same event, too, including one featuring a Bowser train, another for King Boo's haunted mansion, and a Peach's Castle set that depicts a battle with Roy.

The full presentation for the Mario Day announcements from LEGO can be seen here, but the most important part about the LEGO Mario Kart plans was highlighted as well by the Nintendo of America Twitter account which shared the brief teaser trailer below. No other context on the collab was provided, but Nintendo reaffirmed the plans for LEGO Mario Kart to release in 2025.

Unfortunately for Super Mario fans, the news about these LEGO Mario Kart plans doesn't offer any more details beyond the announcement itself. The thought by most is that this this latest partnership between Nintendo and LEGO is going to culminate in new LEGO sets featuring Mario Kart similar to what we saw from the Bowser Muscle Car set that was released in January, and that's the outcome that makes the most sense. But some are holding out hope that this LEGO Mario Kart announcement will actually lead to a new game planned for the Nintendo Switch or the next Nintendo Switch console.

LEGO has no shortage of games under that brand, so a LEGO Mario Kart game isn't totally out of the question, but for now, Mario Kart LEGO sets are all we can hope for now, but we'll be updating this story with more info as it becomes available.

Hopes and speculations aside, we know definitively that three new Mario sets are on the way: the Bowser Express Train, King Boo's Haunted Mansion, and Battle with Roy at Peach's Castle. Each of those can be seen below courtesy of the the Mario Day announcement from LEGO. Details about specific release dates and prices for the new LEGO Mario sets have not been announced yet.
