As LEGO announces the new LEGO Mario Kart set on MAR10 Day, we thought it would be fun to highlight other Mario Kart LEGO sets worth picking up from the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart collection.
Today, LEGO announced a brand-new LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart set, Mario & Standard Kart. Available on May 15, the Mario & Standard Kart set will feature a whopping 1972 pieces and is listed for ages 18+.

The LEGO Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart will cost $169.99 and pre-orders are available today!
During the 1980s, the world was introduced to Jumpman in Donkey Kong, a platformer game about a plumber trying to save his girlfriend from Donkey Kong. As the game gained popularity, Jumpman was renamed Mario, and his first game, Super Mario Bros., kicked off a decades-old franchise. To celebrate the beloved icon, Nintendo has marked March 10 as MAR10 Day, announcing discounts for Super Mario Bros. and spinoff titles, merchandise, and exciting news.
For fans celebrating MAR10 Day and looking to grab a new LEGO set to bring a piece of the Mushroom Kingdom home, we highlight sets from the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart collection to pick up on the special day. Ranging from a Yoshi Bike to the Grand Prix Set, many fans will get the chance to relive their childhood by building their favourite characters, karts and tracks brick by brick.
Whether you want a new kart to expand or kickstart your collection, here is the list of LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart sets that will be available to celebrate MAR10 Day.
As fans celebrate MAR10 Day by picking up new games, revisiting the past or expanding their LEGO Mario collection, they can't forget about the lovable companion who has had Mario's back since he was a baby—Yoshi. The LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Yoshi Bikes set includes a blue Yoshi, a standard Yoshi motorcycle that can shoot shells, four traffic cones and a banana peel.
With interactive play, users can trigger sound and visual effects and random digital items from the item box by placing a LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi or LEGO Peach on the bike. For fans looking to expand their collection or show their support for Yoshi, now is the time to kick off the MAR10 Day celebration without breaking the bank.
As we look back to Mario Kart 7, it was a very popular entry on the Wii and 3DS as it introduced players to racing underwater and soaring through the skies with a glider, but also, the introduction of Mario Standard Kart that was blastered on the cover arts and returning in Mario Kart 8. To relive the past during MAR10 Day, the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Standard Kart includes Mario's Standard Kart, a detachable Super Glider, drifting wheels, and workstation target to practice your shots with a luanchable fire shell.

Although Bowser is the series' antagonist, we can't forget Mario's first rivalry, which kicked off the Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong Country games—Donkey Kong, released in 1981. As a staple in the Mario Kart franchise since Mario Kart 64, fans can pick up the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo set to celebrate MAR10 Day and show their appreciation for the beloved Kong who helped launch the franchise's success.
For the Donkey Kong fans, the set includes a Donkey Kong, a DK Jumbo Vehicle that can shoot shells, a banana, and a target range to practice your shooting skills. With the interactive play, LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, and LEGO Peach can play sound/visual effects from the Donkey Kong and Mario Kart games.
Debuting in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the world was introduced to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, protected by the Yoshi clans, as they escorted the babies back to a stork for delivery to their parents. Revisiting the baby twins during MAR10 Day, the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi set includes Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Biddybuggy, Tri-Speeder, six balloons and four shells.
After building your sets, be sure to help Baby Mario and Luigi launch their shells at the balloons or let them hold a balloon as a reward for being adorable. As always, fans can trigger a sound/visual effect for honking, drifting, and more thanks to the interactive play with LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, and LEGO Peach.
Spicing up a collection of karts, fans can't forget about a garage to tweak and customize karts in the spirit of MAR10 Day. The LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Toad's Garage set includes a customizable kart with swappable Standard Tires and Blue Standard Tires, a working car elevator, tools and two Blue Toad figures ready to get to work.
With interactive play, users can trigger a digital reaction when placing a LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi or LEGO Peach in the customizable kart. From mixing and matching the tires and practising shooting skills with the shells to the presence of two Toads ready to test-drive the kart, this would be a fun addition to any collection for those who enjoy the customization aspect of Mario Kart.
For those who want to create their own Grand Prix tournaments with friends while expanding or starting a collection on MAR10 Day, now is the chance. The LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Baby Peach & Grand Prix Set includes a Wild Wiggler, Landship, Standard Bike, shells, Toad's wagon, a starting gate and a winner's podium.

Sony Pushes ‘Legend of Zelda' Live-Action Movie to May 2027 Release
Sony has delayed the theatrical release of its live-action video game adaptation Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027.

Nintendo representative director and fellow Shigeru Miyamoto produces the feature alongside Arad.

'This is Miyamoto. For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it,' he explained. Wes Ball, who helmed last year's Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, is directing the feature, which adapts the Nintendo gaming franchise of the same name that launched in 1986. The fantasy-inspired game series centers on the young Link and Princess Zelda, who attempt to save the kingdom of Hyrule from the evil Ganon. Zelda was to have competed against Warner Bros. and Legendary's next film in the Godzilla x Kong franchise that also hits theaters on March 26, 2027. Additionally, Paramount's fourth film in its Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that adapts the video game series of the same name is set for theatrical release the week prior.
