In terms of a perfect match, Mario Kart and Hot Wheels may be about as good as it gets. To celebrate MAR10 Day this year, Nintendo and Hot Wheels showed off some Mario Kart Gliders products. And a few days later, a brand new Mario Kart Hot Wheels item mysteriously showed up on Amazon with very little fan-fare; a Rainbow Road kit.

Mario Kart is one of the biggest names in all of video games. The series has always sold very well, in fact, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as 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 Wheels Mario Kart Rainbow Road Raceway will release on May 29, 2021. 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 Wheels Mario Kart Rainbow Road Raceway also apparently includes Mario and King Boo.

Mario has crossed over into the physical realm in the world of Mario Kart already, as Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit bridged 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 and Mario Kart provide similar experiences, making them a good match.
