Revealed during Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, there are a total of six Mario Kart sets and three Animal Crossing sets due to be released on January 1, 2025, so it’s shaping up to be a great start to next year. LEGO first teased Mario Kart sets as part🌸 of Mario Day way back on March 10, so it’s been a long almost six months waiting for more news. 

The six Mario Kart sets will not only featur⭕e all of Mario’s most well known and beloved characters and their instantly recognizable Karts, but also buildable and customizable tracks which will open up a huge amount of variation and possibility for endꦦless layouts.

Some of these sets are also designed to incorporate previously released electronic LEGO sets of Princess Peach, Mario, and Luigi, making them digitally interactive as well as physically. When these figures are put into the driver’s seat, they’ll be able to collect coins and scan item boxes.
