Lego Mario Kart is officially over the finishing line with a full reveal spinning out of Gamescom 2024. Due to drift onto shelves in January 2025, the range includes six sets to begin with.
Design director of the Lego group, Simon Kent, says in a press release that “we are beyond excited to turbo-charge our Lego Super Mario universe with the reveal of these latest Mario Kart sets, that we know fans have been eagerly waiting for. We can’t wait for builders of all ages to put their pedal to the metal and bring Mario Kart races to brick-built reality at home with friends and family. The brand-new Lego Super Mario: Mario Kart sets provide an immersive building experience and capture the heart-pounding action of the beloved video game series – showing fans that the world is your track like never before!”
All of the Lego Mario Kart sets will arrive on January 1, 2025, and they range from cheaper $14.99 / £12.99 kits to the full Grand Prix box at $79.99 / $69.99. I’ve broken them down for you below.

This seems to be the tentpole release for the Mario Kart range, and as such it features three racers, Lakitu to set you all off, a starting line, accessories, and bumpers to keep you on the straight and narrow. In other words, it’s a good base on which to build regardless of whether you’re looking for a collectible to go on your shelf or a kids' playset.

Naturally, you don’t need to keep them with the balloons if you’d rather just have them racing around the track - it looks like they’re separate rather than being attached.

This is the cheapest and simplest of the Lego Mario Kart range, so it’s perfect either as a cheap-and-cheerfulgift for gamersor an easy addition to the toy box for your little ones. It has Yoshi racing around obstacles like banana skins on a bike… based on another Yoshi? I mean, look, that’s always going to be weird. It’d be like a horse riding a bicycle made to look like a horse. But he’s happy, so good for him I guess?
Lego Mario Kart - Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo

We recently got a full Lego Donkey Kong range, so it’s only right that the Kong himself makes the transition over to Mario Kart too. He comes in a hefty kart based on the famous barrels from the Donkey Kong Country series, and he comes with a target that’ll fling a banana skin at other racers when hit with a shell (or anything else, I imagine). A fun bit of interactivity for you, there.

This kit may just be a kart, some accessories, and a pitstop Toad to keep everything in working order, but it’s clearly made to fit the bigger, interactive Mario figure. It’s decked out in his livery, after all, and is the ‘classic’ Mario Kart car complete with a glider for soaring through the air.

Much like the Standard Kart, this set is very obviously made to go with other figures in your Lego Super Mario collection. However, this one’s a bit more advanced with a full pitstop, spare wheels, and various doodads to make sure your car’s in perfect working order. There are two pitstop Toads to keep everything ticking over, too.
As with all the other sets listed here, it’ll arrive on January 1, 2025.
