If you thought Lego and Nintendo had already explored every possibility for adult fans of video games and building sets, think again. The latest addition to the Lego Super Mario series — Luigi & Mach 8 — turns Mario’s iconic brother into a true racing hero, right on your desk.
The set consists of 2,234 pieces and is more than just a figure. The movable head, arms, and hands give Luigi a sense of dynamic motion, as if he’s about to zoom off the track. A special stand allows you to display the model at a “dynamic racing angle,” letting you admire every detail like a real scene from Mario Kart.
The real fun is in the mechanics: turn the steering wheel and the front wheels respond. Rotating the rear wheels activates decorative flames, creating the illusion of high speed. Assembly takes time, but the result is impressive: over 25 cm tall, 40 cm long, and roughly 23 cm wide. The set looks spectacular both on a shelf and on a gaming table.
The price? $180, $10 more than last year’s Mario set. But for that, you get more pieces, more mechanics, and most importantly, the chance to dive into the world of Nintendo racing right at home.
Lego and Nintendo have collaborated for several years, releasing over 20 Super Mario-themed sets — from interactive playsets to large Bowser models and pixelated versions of Mario and Yoshi. Luigi & Mach 8 continues the tradition of high-quality collector and play sets that are perfect for building, playing, and displaying in any adult fan’s collection.
The ideal time to get it? April 1 — the set hits stores the same day the film Super Mario: The Galactic Movie premieres. You can set up a mini-marathon: build the Lego, watch the movie, and fully immerse yourself in the Nintendo universe.
If you’re a Mario Kart fan or simply appreciate great design, this set is a must-have. For adults, collectors, and anyone unwilling to let go of their childhood passion for gaming.
