Mario Kart LEGO sets are out now – see all six in the launch lineup

This 174-piece set includes Mario’s iconic red starter car from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The kart comes with a detachable super glider, drift-ready wheels, a red shell launcher, and an attachable banana item. Like all vehicles in the Mario Kart line, the Standard Kart is compatible with the trio of interactive figures from the Adventures with Super Mario Starter Set. Naturally, the Mario figure is the obvious choice here. The figure unlocks new sound and visual effects when racing, drifting or gliding, and honking.

Mario’s Standard Kart set also comes with a workstation with a target for the Red Shell. Jump into the workstation with Mario, Luigi, or Peach for more sounds and display effects.

If you don’t have the LEGO Mario Starter Set, the included Pit Crew Toad figure can drive the kart instead. Since Toad is a regular Lego figure, the aforementioned interactive elements will not work if he is attached to a cart.

The cheapest Yoshi Bike is a 133-piece set that costs just $15. Includes a green bike modeled after Yoshi, a light blue Yoshi figure, 4 traffic cones, an item block, a banana (peel) from the Mario Kart games, and a green shell item.

The Mario, Luigi and Peach figures react when a race starts, when drifting, when the bike horn sounds and when the bike is in hover mode. In addition to actual items, collisions with item boxes also occur in the same way as in the game. Sound and visual effects let you know what items you have acquired.

Again, no sound or visual effects will occur without one of the three figures, but Yoshi certainly looks cool on his bike. This is the first time Light Blue Yoshi has appeared in a LEGO Mario set. You can also attach Yoshi figures from other sets to the bike. The Adventures with Mario Starter Set includes Green Yoshi. Currently, you can also get a Yoshi figure with the same design as the Light Blue Yoshi in the following sets:

The ridiculously cute Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi set turns back the clock to a time before the brothers learned how to use a toilet, let alone fix it. Arguably the cutest LEGO Super Mario set ever made. The Mario Kart Grand Prix kit is pretty much the same, as it includes baby Princess Peach and an adorable little toad. This 321-piece kit includes buildable Baby Mario and Luigi figures, as well as a Bdi Buggy and Tri-Speed ​​Kart. The former is a red buggy modeled after the enemy Paravidibird that first appeared in Super Mario 3D Land. Meanwhile, Baby Luigi. Drives one of the few three-wheeled karts in the series.

Accessories include red and green shells and 6 balloons that can be used as targets. Or the baby siblings might swing the balloon like a hammer and hit each other on the head.

Adult Mario, Luigi, and Peach can steal the cart from the baby and have a conversation with it. Baby Mario and Luigi haven’t learned how to talk yet (they’re not interactive).

The Grand Prix set includes some pretty essential components to the Mario Kart experience, including a starting gate, track barrier, podium, and Lakitu with traffic lights. If you’re buying a Mario Kart Lego set for play rather than display, this feels like a must-have kit. At 823 pieces, it has more than twice as many bricks as other sets. So it’s also twice the price of the second most expensive option (Toad’s Garage).

Technically this is called the Baby Peach & Grand Prix set, which makes sense because of the three racers included, Peach stands out significantly. Baby Peach may still use a pacifier, but she is licensed and drives the adorable Wild Wiggler cart. Peach joins Toad on his Standard Bike and Lemmy on his Landship Kart.

Other accessories include a traffic light, two item blocks, a snack wagon, directional signs, green and red shells, bananas, and a cloud for Lakitu.

The Super Mario Interactive Figure Trio works the same way as any other set. The Grand Prix is ​​designed to be the centerpiece of the launch lineup, and tracks can be combined with other Mario Kart sets to create even more elaborate and interactive playsets.

Toad’s Garage includes two Blue Toad figures, a B Dasher cart, a custom-built mech with an operable car elevator, a tire rack with four spare tires, a raised platform for one of the Toads to stand on, a two-way radio for the Toads and a wrench accessory; Red Shell.

Toad’s Garage has unique customization features not found in other Mario Kart sets. You can use a custom made machine (long hose) to swap out the blue and black wheels. It can also be used to connect engines and hoses. Car elevators have a crank that can be turned to raise the platform.

The wheels on the B Dasher appear to be identical to those found on Mario’s Standard Kart and Baby Mario’s Biddybuggy, so it seems like the Customization Machine will be available for those vehicles.

Along with the standard interactive elements when driving the B Dasher, the Super Mario Starter Figure features sound and visual effects for the engine and horn when working with the Customization Machine.

Donkey Kong’s DK Jumbo Kart is the largest vehicle in the lineup. In addition to the buildable Donkey Kong figure and barrel-inspired cart, it also comes with a target topped with red and green shells and banana items. The goal here is to knock down the smiling fruit by throwing the peel at the target.

In addition to the standard sound and visual effects of the other karts, using a Mario, Luigi, or Peach figure with the DK Jumbo Kart triggers Donkey Kong-themed effects from the platformer series. The Donkey Kong character has only appeared in a few LEGO Mario playsets so far, and they’re all gone this year. For now, if you want Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, or Funky Kong to drive the DK Jumbo, you can get it for less than retail price.

The interactive LEGO Adventures Mario is almost certain to be the most popular starter set paired with the Mario Kart building kit. As previously mentioned, Amazon has already sold out of Adventures with LEGO Mario twice this week, and LEGO Mario Kart is still sold out on release day. You can purchase Interactive Lego Mario’s Adventures for $45 now at Walmart.

Mario will always be the most popular of the three, but even in this case, the 174-piece Standard Kart set makes him the obvious choice. This $20 kit allows fans to build a red kart emblazoned with Mario’s M logo. The kit also comes with a small buildable toad working in the pit crew, but the kart is designed for Interactive Lego Mario. It’s worth reiterating that all three figures can be connected to LEGO Mario Kart vehicles, although similar styles of Luigi and Peach Karts do not currently exist.

Interactive LEGO Adventures Mario features 218 pieces, including 3 additional buildable figures: Bowser Jr., Yoshi and Goomba. Bowser. Jr. also has a flying clown car.

Interactive Lego Peach’s Adventures is currently on sale for the best price of the three. Amazon is selling the 208-piece Lego set featuring the Mushroom Kingdom’s beloved princess for $40. Like the Mario Starter Course, it comes with three different buildable figures: Yellow Toad, Lava Bubble, and Lakitu. At the end of the mini-course, Peach rushes and jumps towards the flag while Lakitu tries to stop Peach from above the clouds with a fishhook.

Luigi’s 210-piece starter set includes Kamek, Boo, and Pink Baby Yoshi on broomsticks. His original set came with Boom Boom, Bone Goomba, and Pink (adult) Yoshi. Kamek swings around on a magic broomstick.

Like other Super Mario LEGO starter sets, the Luigi kit includes a large flag and warp pipe. If you purchase multiple starter kits, you can combine unique platforms and accessories to create larger levels. All three interactive figures are compatible with LEGO’s various Super Mario playset expansions as well as its lineup of adult small-scale display models, including the recently released pixel art Mario & Yoshi models based on Super Mario World.
