LEGO’s lineup for August 1st 2025 is going to be huge, and it will include at least two new additions to the LEGO Super Mario Mario Kart lineup. The first set in the launch is the Mario Kart – Piranha Plant Power-Up Pursuit, a 588 piece set that includes two buildable LEGO figures of Toadette and Koopa Troopa with their karts; the Cat Cruiser and the Tanooki Cart. The set gets its name from the Piranha Plant Power Up that can be attached to either car, which apparently moves when the car is in motion. There’s also the Mario Kart Shy Guy & P-Wing, a smaller 249 piece set that includes a Shy Guy figure and a P-Wing with “a shell-launching function”. Both are available to pre-order now, and you can find all of the details you need below, including information on another interesting set for gamers that’s arriving in August.
