New LEGO Mario Kart Sets Launch May 15

LEGO releases most of its new sets on the first of each month, but some sets can’t be contained in such a tidy schedule. Today, May 15, marks the release of several exciting new sets, with a Mario Kart set leading the pack. Let's dive into the details of the LEGO sets launching today.

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

This month's coolest release for IGN readers is undoubtedly the Mario Kart LEGO set. Designed for the 18+ age group, this set offers an advanced build intended for display rather than play. It’s a stunning representation of Mario Kart, perfectly timed to launch just weeks before the release of Mario Kart World on the Switch 2—the first truly new Mario Kart game in 11 years.
