Get your shells and bananas ready because Mar10 Day just got a whole lot more exciting! Lego has announced new sets inspired by the iconic kart racer, Mario Kart, set to hit shelves in 2025. As if we needed more reasons to celebrate our favorite Italian plumber, these sets are sure to bring a wave of nostalgia and excitement to fans of all ages.

The recent Mar10 Day teaser video gave us a sneak peek at what’s to come, including a classic default kart design that is sure to rev up the engines of longtime fans. While the brief 18-second clip didn’t reveal too much, it’s safe to say that we can expect to see some character-specific karts and bikes making their way to shelves. And let’s not forget about the signature weapons that are bound to be included in at least a few of the sets – who wouldn’t want to unleash a red shell on their opponents?

But it’s not just about the karts and bikes this time around. Lego is going big with sets like the Bowser Express train, a massive 1392-piece build featuring the Koopa King himself. And for those who prefer a spookier challenge, there’s King Boo’s Haunted Mansion, a 932-piece set that promises thrills and chills for builders of all skill levels.

So why the wait until 2025 for these epic sets to hit the shelves? Well, it’s no secret that the Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to launch around the same time, and what better way to celebrate a new console release than with a brand new Mario Kart game? With the current Mario Kart title being a fan favorite on the Switch, it only makes sense that the franchise would continue to be a cornerstone of Nintendo’s gaming lineup.

As we eagerly anticipate the release of these new Lego sets, it’s clear that Mario Kart continues to hold a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of Rainbow Road or a newcomer to the Mushroom Kingdom, there’s something undeniably exciting about bringing the thrill of the race to life in brick form. So start saving up your gold coins and get ready to hit the tracks in style – the ultimate Mario Kart Lego experience is just around the corner!
