LEGO Mario Kart

Lego announced new Mario sets in Mario day and this time it will focus on Mario Kart.

The teaser looks nice and it will be interesting to see what they came up with.

However, …

… the release date is 2025!

Why? Why announce now?

What is the reason for announcing Lego sets one year earlier?

Is it coming in January or February of 2025?

If not, why not announce it on MARIO day in 2025?

Switch 2 Compatibility?

Possible reason could be the Switch Successor.

Could there be a connection to the next Mario Kart game?

Is it possible that Lego was ready to release the sets this year, but Nintendo asked to delay the sets to ‘25, because the Switch 2 got delayed?

I can imagine the Lego Mario Kart sets work very similar to the 2020 released real live Mario Karts that can be controlled via Switch and allows players to drive a real toy kart in the living room.

This would be another big reason to get the system at launch, especially if it’s releasing with another Mario Kart game.
