LEGO and Nintendo have worked together successfully many times in the past. Several of Nintendo’s most famous characters and game series have been made into LEGO sets, and Mario is a particularly popular choice – which makes sense, as he’s Nintendo’s biggest star! While many new Nintendo LEGO sets are coming out this year, some older sets are being discontinued, and many of those feature Mario.
LEGO regularly stops making certain sets, which means fans who’ve been hoping to buy them don’t have much time left. While new sets like the Legend of Zelda LEGO are exciting, Nintendo fans – especially those who love Mario – should hurry and get their favorite Mario LEGO sets before they’re discontinued. These sets are perfect for dedicated fans and could become valuable collectibles.

The LEGO Super Mario World set came out in October 2024, and will be discontinued at the end of July. It’s a fantastic choice for fans of the classic game, recreating a pixelated Mario riding Yoshi, just like in Super Mario World. This set is a favorite among many, so if you’ve been thinking about buying it, now’s the time. While it will be available for a few more months, the window is closing. It could become a valuable collector’s item once it’s no longer produced, so it’s best to purchase it sooner rather than later.

This LEGO set isn’t just about Mario – it also includes Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and even a Goomba!

LEGO and Nintendo have collaborated on many sets over time, appealing to all kinds of Super Mario fans. While this set is designed with kids in mind, it’s also a fun addition for adult collectors who love Mario.

This adorable LEGO set is being discontinued this summer. It features Baby Mario and Baby Luigi racing karts against each other! The karts can even launch shells at included balloon targets, making it both a cool display piece and a fun game. As one of the most popular racing series ever, Mario Kart, this LEGO set is a great way to bring a little bit of that excitement to any collection.

Okay, so as a big Nintendo fan, I’m keeping track of which LEGO sets are retiring, and while it’s not the last one, the Adventures with Interactive LEGO Mario & Standard Kart set is one of the final Mario options available. It’s really cool because, like the Baby Mario vs. Baby Luigi set, it focuses on Mario Kart – and we’ve seen a few Mario Kart LEGO sets already, like the Blue Shell one! Honestly, even though Mario himself isn’t always my favorite character, this set feels like a must-have for anyone who’s been playing Mario Kart for years. The good news is, we still have some time to decide if we want it – it’s going to be around for the rest of the year, which is a relief!

Mario isn’t the only popular Nintendo character whose LEGO sets are being retired. Sets featuring favorites like Bowser, Peach, Wario, Toad, and even the Piranha Plant are going away permanently. While everyone has different opinions on the ‘best’ sets, Prince Floran & Castle Bowser and Piranha Plant Power-Up Pursuit are standouts that many collectors will be eager to get their hands on.
It’s disappointing to see many Nintendo LEGO sets being discontinued this year, but LEGO has plenty of new and exciting sets coming out to replace them. The 2026 collection looks fantastic, with great options available even if you’re not a Nintendo fan. Whether you’re trying to collect everything Mario-related or just want a fun new build, there are lots of choices available now – but they won’t be around forever.
