\nIt’s Mario Day today, and as part of the celebrations, Lego<\/strong> and Nintendo<\/strong> revealed their latest collab yesterday: Lego Mario Kart.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor those that don’t know, March 10 is officially Mario day, because when you abbreviate it – Mar10 – it looks like the iconic plumber’s name! Typically Nintendo reveals something for the occasion, because it loves a gimmick, and it’s started the reveals with a new look at some of its upcoming Lego collaborations. The biggest announcement is definitely the fact that we’ll be getting a Lego Mario Kart set<\/a> in 2025, though the reveal was definitely more of a “it’s happening” than any kind of good look. In the teaser trailer for it, which you can see below, we do get a backlit look at the Lego Mario Kart set, and it does seem like there will be functionality with the electronic Lego Mario figure, but details are slim other than that.\n<\/p>\n

\nThere was more than just Lego Mario Kart announced though, as three other sets all planned to be released August 1 were shown off too. My favourite of the three is probably The Bowser Express Train<\/a> set, which is literally just a train with Bowser’s head at the front of it, complete with a Hammer Bro, some Goombas, a couple of Para-Biddybuds, and Boom Boom. Also revealed was the King Boo’s Haunted Mansion<\/a> set, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – this one includes a very square King Boo, a Dry Bones, a regular but also very square Boo, and best of all, a Yellow Baby Yoshi.\n<\/p>\n
