In terms of a perfect match,Mario Kartand Hot Wheels may be about as good as it gets. Tocelebrate MAR10 Daythis year, Nintendo and Hot Wheels showed off someMario KartGliders products. And a few days later, a brand newMario KartHot Wheels item mysteriously showed up on Amazon with very little fan-fare; a Rainbow Road kit.
Mario Kartis one of the biggest names in all of video games. The series has always sold very well, in fact, withMario Kart 8 Deluxeas the highest selling game on the Nintendo Switch. The collaboration with Hot Wheels makes sense, as Mario and the gang speeding down a real-life Rainbow Road Raceway feels quite natural after years of virtual racing.

The Hot WheelsMario KartRainbow Road Raceway will release on July 21, 2025. The track has an MSRP of $119.99 and was available to pre-order on Amazon, but seems to be currently unavailable at the moment. The track itself is customizable and can run in either a straight line or in various twists and turns. The Hot WheelsMario KartRainbow Road Raceway also apparently includes Mario and King Boo.
Mario has crossed over into the physical realm in the world ofMario Kartalready, asMario Kart Live: Home Circuitbridged the gap between toys and video games. The game allowed players to create their own course in real life–much like making a Hot Wheels course–but then race in it within the video game on the Switch. The unique augmented reality game is very special and beyond what video games have been able to accomplish in years past. Hot Wheels andMario Kartprovide similar experiences, making them a good match.
