Released last March to coincide with MAR10 Day, Lego debuted a new Mario Kart set that let players build a large-scale Mario with kart for adults to build. It was surprisingly detailed and very faithful to the series, though it was missing one important thing: his brother! That seems to be changing soon if a 10-second teaser from the company is anything to go by.
On social media today, Nintendo of America uploaded a small trailer with the tagline, “Racing runs in the family.” Featuring a slow zoom on the Lego Mario Kart set, we see the edges of another cart pull up to Mario with the iconic green color that Luigi is known for. Considering Mario has no other family that I can think of (is he ever going to marry Peach?), this is likely confirmation that Luigi will be joining his brother in the Lego Adult realm.

The previous set, which was called “Mario & Standard Kart,” was released last year for $170. It came with 1,972 pieces and was recommended for builders age 18 and up. I would imagine Luigi will be the same, though he could have a few more pieces since he’s taller than Mario. His kart also seems to be different, which makes me think this Mario Kart line will expand in the future to have racers with different karts. After Luigi, we’re almost certainly getting Peach.
