Happy Mario Day and happy new set reveal day as LEGO have officially presented the first of two LEGO Super Mario D2Cs coming in 2025. In particular, this 18+ D2C set is 72037 Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart which includes a total of 1,972 pieces retailing for $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99. The seventh LEGO Mario Kart set of 2025 releases on the 15th of May 2025, occupying the usual LEGO Icons vehicle model spot and joining the 40th Anniversary Mario celebrations taking place throughout this year.
The build itself is another brick-built recreation of the standard kart from the Mario Kart franchise and the most recent mainline Mario Kart game of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. We've already seen the vehicle in brick-built form before with January's 72032 Mario Kart - Standard Kart. On the 15th of May, however, we'll be able to get our hands on a much larger and more detailed model with a total of 1,972 pieces used to recreate a fully moveable car.
The kart is the usual Mario-themed colour scheme of mainly red with a couple of hints of white and blue along with yellow rims and a sporty exhaust at the rear. Like all LEGO Super Mario sets, no stickers are included so those details on the yellow rims are printed along with the large 'M' on the kart and on Mario's hat and obviously Mario's cartoon-like blue eyes. There's also further printing on the Italian plumber's white gloves.
In the driver's seat is the large brick-built version of Mario in his usual red and blue dungarees, brown shoes, yellow buttons, white gloves and the red hat with the printed 'M' logo. He's making his signature cheering pose with one hand up in the air whilst the other holds the steering wheel. However, his arms are fully moveable, allowing you to place both hands on the steering wheel whilst also moving his head in multiple directions.
The kart also has functioning steering to allow further movement and posabilty along with the brick-built Mario figure. In addition to the kart and Mario, the 18+ model also includes a simple black display stand. This allows the model to be mounted at a slight angle and rotated to allow for various racing poses. Overall, the $170 set measures over 8.5 inches (22 cm) high, 12.5 inches (32 cm) long and 7.5 inches (19cm) wide.
