If you have ever wanted to build your own Mario Kart before drifting into the first corner, LEGO just made that dream real. The new LEGO Super Mario “Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8” set is racing onto shelves, and it is a big one.
Designed for builders 18 and up, the set clocks in at 2,234 pieces and recreates Luigi behind the wheel of the sleek Mach 8 kart from the Mario Kart games. It is less of a toy and more of a display model, built with the kind of detail that makes it look like Luigi has just blasted out of Rainbow Road and landed on your shelf.
The kart captures the curved body, chunky tires, and low-slung racing stance that fans know from the games. Luigi sits ready for the race, leaning forward with that determined look that says he absolutely intends to beat Mario this time.
At $249.99 CAD, the set is available for pre-order now and ships starting April 1, 2026. LEGO Insiders members can also earn 1,250 points with the purchase, which can be redeemed for discounts and rewards on future builds.
The release continues LEGO’s growing love affair with gaming culture. Alongside the Luigi kart, the lineup of gaming-inspired sets now stretches from Pac-Man arcade cabinets to Pokemon builds and even a tiny brick-built Game Boy.
But for Nintendo fans, this one hits a particularly sweet spot. Mario Kart has been sending shells flying and friendships into friendly chaos for decades, and now one of its most recognizable karts is getting the full LEGO treatment.
Just remember one thing while building it.
Blue shells not included.
