Notably, the Mario Kart kits integrate with interactive figures from the Lego Super Mario starter sets, adding sound and visual effects when in use. While the Lego Mario Kart sets are captivating play items, they are also designed with significant interactive features that can enhance overall playability with the complementary starter sets, especially popular this month.
As New Year’s Day has historically been a big release day for Lego, this year also sees new sets introduced based on popular franchises like Animal Crossing, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Minecraft, in addition to the Mario Kart offerings.
