Lego Luigi Mario Kart Set Takes Center Stage on MAR10 Day
Nintendo has marked MAR10 Day with a series of exciting reveals, headlined by the announcement of a new Lego set featuring Luigi in a Mario Kart. This annual celebration, dedicated to the iconic plumber, saw the release of three new Mario games on Nintendo Switch Online and a confirmed launch date for Yoshi And The Mysterious Book. However, the standout news is the Lego Luigi Mario Kart set, continuing a tradition of adult-oriented Lego collaborations unveiled on this special day.
Details of the Lego Luigi Mario Kart Set
The new Lego set serves as a companion to last year's Mario Kart offering, which featured Mario in a standard kart. This year's model showcases Luigi driving a Mach 8 car from Mario Kart 8, crafted at the same scale. Comprising 2,234 pieces, the set measures 41cm in length and 25cm in height. It includes functional features such as a steering wheel that turns the front and back wheels, along with movable exhaust flames. Luigi himself is posable, with adjustable head, arms, and hands, allowing for dynamic displays like drift poses when placed on its stand.
While the set is designed for adults and priced at £159.99, it retains playability—the kart can be removed from the stand and rolled like a traditional toy. Pre-orders are available now on the official website ahead of its April 1 launch. This announcement solidifies MAR10 Day as a key date for Lego reveals, sparking speculation about future sets, such as a potential Princess Peach kart.
Additional MAR10 Day Highlights
Beyond the Lego news, Nintendo confirmed that Yoshi And The Mysterious Book will launch on May 21 for £49.99. This 2D platformer, unveiled last year, focuses on Yoshi exploring game world fauna to complete an encyclopedia, featuring characters like Bowser Jr. and Shy Guy but with no confirmed combat elements. It's described as a "cosy platformer," introducing new abilities and power-ups through discovery.
Nintendo also released a new trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, set for March 26. This move has fueled discussions about the timing of the next general Nintendo Direct, as fans await broader first-party announcements amidst a year of topic-specific events.
Overall, MAR10 Day 2026 underscores Nintendo's ongoing partnerships and innovation in gaming, blending physical collectibles with digital adventures to engage fans worldwide.
