LEGO has just revealed new Nintendo-based sets inspired by Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart. Nintendo and LEGO first partnered up to release a building set themed after the original NES console, and from there, many iconic franchises have been represented in brick form. The LEGO Super Mario line was launched in the summer of 2020, LEGO Animal Crossing sets have been hitting store shelves since March 2024, and there was even a Legend of Zelda set released later that year.
The successful partnership between LEGO and Nintendo will continue in 2025, much to the delight of collectors and gamers. Earlier this year, LEGO unveiled a massive Mario Kart set depicting Mario in his signature red go-kart, and it was announced that a LEGO Pokemon crossover is finally happening in 2026.

Animal Crossing has many opportunities to grow as a franchise, but there is one that it has yet to touch on and whose window is closing fast.
As it turns out, LEGO and Nintendo still have plenty more to show fans in 2025, with Jay’s Brick Blog confirming that a full lineup of LEGO Super Mario sets is on the way this summer. This line was revealed by German retailer JB Spielwaren, and includes at least three sets inspired by Mario Kart: “Bowser’s Castle,” “Wario & King Boo,” and the “Interactive LEGO Mario & Standard Kart” set. “Prince Florian & Castle Bowser” brings the ominous floating fortress from Super Mario Bros. Wonder to life as a LEGO model, while “Party at Toad’s House” and “Captain Toad’s Camp” are centered around the toadstool soldiers of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario isn’t the only Nintendo property getting new LEGO sets this summer, as three new Animal Crossing sets are going to be released in August. As per Jay’s Brick Blog, these sets consist of “Blather’s Museum Collection,” which features fan-favorite Animal Crossing characters Blathers the Owl and Lily the Frong alongside a dinosaur skeleton, “Creative Houses: Season of Fun,” which sees a handful of popular villagers setting up houses for all seasons, and “Goldie’s Cosy House,” which finally adds Goldie the Dog to the growing list of Animal Crossing minifigures.
These new sets are coming right as a few of the existing LEGO Animal Crossing sets are about to be retired, so fans need to act fast if they wish to build a complete village when the new sets arrive this summer. The recently announced LEGO Super Mario and LEGO Animal Crossing sets will all launch on August 1, just a few short months after Nintendo kicks off a whole new era of gaming with the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
