Mario Kart World Plushes 2026: Limited Edition Collectibles for Fans

Originally posted on Total Apex Gaming | By Ciara Blecka | Last updated Oct 6, 2025 10:43 PM ET

Mario Kart World has a lot of hype surrounding it right now. With the Super Mario Galaxy Movie coming out in April, there is a lot of excitement for everything Super Mario. So, you know what that means: merchandise. And that includes plushies. There are select plushies being released in March 2026 by Senai, one of Nintendo’s primary merchandising partners. The line-up isn’t huge, but Mario, Yoshi, and Toad are there. It would have been nice to get a Luigi or a Princess Peach, but the classic Mario plushie is there. The plushies cost $35.20, so they’re not too pricey, and they come in their karts with the markings and stickers seen on the Switch 2.

The plushies are similar to the All-Star Collection by Senai, but they are sewn to karts. This is a unique feature, as Mario plushies in karts haven’t really been done before. They come complete with the fuel tanks on the sides.

Positive Fan Response

There has been a positive response so far to these plushies, but fans are expecting more. It may be that the other plushies haven’t been revealed yet, as the news about these plushies was leaked, so we may not have the full picture. A complete collection would be nice. They may yet add some of the more popular characters, and some villains would be nice, too.

More to Come For Mario Kart World?

Even if this is all for the initial release, hopefully the plushies will sell well enough that they will release more characters. This may give room for them to create not just the iconic characters, but some of the rarer stuff, too. Not much is known yet, but you can be guaranteed to get yourself a Mario, and it stands to reason that Luigi won’t be far along.
