Take A Ride Through Bowser's Castle with New LEGO Mario Kart Set

LEGO is returning to the world of Mario with a new selection of themed sets as they go for gold with some new racers 

Bowser's Castle is one of the most iconic tracks in the Mario Kart series, with explosive lava pits, wicked traps, and menacing Thwomps. Debuting in the original Super Mario Kart, the track has appeared in nearly every installment, each time with new twists and hazards. The N64 version introduced a 3D environment with sharp turns and that signature fiery ambiance. Racing through Bowser's lair requires skill and precision, and now master builders get to build part of the infamous track with LEGO's newest Mario Kart set. Coming in at 1,068 pieces, LEGO has expanded its Super Mario Bros. collection to the high-speed skill of Mario Kart. 

Bowser's Castle features Yoshi and Bowser racing for that finish line in brick-built detail as well as a Thwomp and Lava Bubble. The castle is filled with plenty of traps, such as a spinning Fire Bar, falling Thwomp, and Mashable castle walls. Add the interactive Luigi, Mario, or Princess Peach LEGO minifigures (sold separately) to the set to hear new Mario Kart sound/visual effects when they get behind the wheel. Build your own Mario Kart track in August 2025 for $99.99, and be sure to keep an eye out for other sets to enhance your track.
