LEGO Reveals the Luigi Mario Kart Mach 8 Set, Releasing on April 1

LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 is the second set of its size and ambition in the Mario Kart sub-series under the wider LEGO Mario framework. The first was the aforementioned Mario & Standard Kart (which we built and you cansee it here at Amazon if you’re interested). These are big, colorful, statement-making sets. This one rings in at 2,234 pieces, so it’s a sizable build.

Our reviewer of the Mario set wrote that this is “a build that everyone can love. Casual builders will appreciate its bright primary colors and its big, chunky parts, which make for a surefire crowd-pleaser. Experienced LEGO builders will appreciate the intricacy of the Kart’s construction and the absence of stickers; every piece of visual flair is printed directly onto the bricks themselves.”

The Luigi & Mach 8 set features the speedy Mach 8 race car, with a happy Luigi in the driver’s seat. It features bright green, blue, and yellow, with red stars on each of the wheels. The whole thing sits on a buildable stand, which it can actually roll off if you want to play with it (though it’s aimed at the 18+ age group, making it officially one of the many LEGO sets for adults).
