Super Mario Toys in 2026: Galaxy Movie Tie-Ins and Fisher-Price Little People Guide

Super Mario is having a massive year in toys. Between the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a new Fisher-Price Little People collaboration, and continued expansion of the JAKKS Pacific toy line, parents shopping for Mario fans of any age have more options than ever. Here is a guide to the best Mario toys available in 2026, organized by age group and play style.

Fisher-Price Little People My Mario (Ages 1-5)

The biggest news for the youngest Mario fans is the Fisher-Price Little People My Mario collection, a partnership between Mattel and Nintendo that launched in February 2026. According to Mattel’s official announcement, the line brings Super Mario characters to the toddler-sized Little People format for the first time.

The Character Figure Set includes six iconic characters: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and Bowser, all sized for small hands to grasp. At under $25, the six-pack is one of the best value propositions in the Mario toy lineup. The chunky Little People scale makes them safe for toddlers while still being recognizable to older siblings who know the characters from games and movies.

Bowser’s Airship is a push-along toy boat with a cannonball launcher, bat-at spinners, and a trapdoor pipe for drop-through play. The activity-packed design keeps preschoolers engaged with physical interactions rather than electronic stimulation, aligning with the Cozy Culture trend toward tactile, low-tech toys.

Mario’s Adventure Playset is the flagship product, featuring coin-collecting mechanics, a Chain Chomp obstacle, power-up stations, and iconic Super Mario music and sounds. According to Nintendo Life, this is the most feature-rich item in the collection and the one that will see the most repeat play from toddlers who enjoy cause-and-effect toys. Our best pretend play toys for kids guide covers similar playset-style toys across other themes.

All My Mario products are available in the US and Europe from major retailers including Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Toys (Ages 4+)

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is generating its own merchandise line separate from the existing Super Mario brand. According to Toy Book, JAKKS Pacific is producing the primary toy line for the film, which includes action figures, playsets, and interactive toys.

Hatchin’ Yoshi is the standout product from the Galaxy Movie line. Made by Spin Master, this interactive toy lets children hatch their own Yoshi from an egg, similar to the popular Primal Hatch T-Rex concept. Once hatched, Yoshi responds to interaction with games, reactions, and sounds. According to Engadget’s Toy Fair 2026 coverage, pre-orders sold out rapidly, making it one of the most anticipated toys of the year.

McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys featuring Super Mario Galaxy Movie characters were announced for March 2026, according to Nintendo Life. These are collectible figures included with kids’ meals and tend to be popular with younger children who collect them across multiple visits.

JAKKS Pacific Action Figures will include the standard Mario character lineup plus new characters and forms introduced in the Galaxy Movie. The JAKKS Pacific Super Mario line has been consistently well-received for its quality and affordability, typically priced between $8 and $25 depending on figure size.

Mario Toys for Older Kids and Collectors (Ages 8+)

Older Mario fans have strong options beyond the preschool and movie tie-in categories:

LEGO Super Mario continues to expand in 2026 with new course expansion sets that use the electronic LEGO Mario, Luigi, and Peach figures to create interactive obstacle courses. The system uses tag technology similar to the new LEGO Smart Play platform, where placing the character figure on tagged bricks triggers reactions. Sets range from $30 starter courses to $100+ expansion bundles.

K’NEX Mario Kart Building Sets let children build iconic race tracks and vehicles from the Mario Kart franchise. These appeal to kids who enjoy construction toys with a Mario theme and are more complex than the LEGO Super Mario sets aimed at younger builders. Our best building toys beyond LEGO guide covers K’NEX and similar alternatives.

Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo collectible figures target the display-oriented collector market with detailed, articulated figures of characters across the Mario universe. These are affordable ($10 to $15) and widely available, making them good options for kids who want to build a character collection.

How to Choose by Age

Age Range	Best Mario Products	Price Range
1-3 years	Little People My Mario figure set, Bowser’s Airship	$15-$35
3-5 years	Little People Adventure Playset, McDonald’s Happy Meal figures	$5-$50
5-7 years	JAKKS Pacific action figures, Hatchin’ Yoshi	$10-$60
8-12 years	LEGO Super Mario courses, K’NEX Mario Kart	$30-$100+
13+ / Collectors	World of Nintendo figures, LEGO display sets	$10-$200+

Quality and Safety Notes

All Fisher-Price Little People products meet CPSC safety standards for children under 3. The figures have no small parts and are made from rounded, soft-edged plastic. The Mario’s Adventure Playset uses batteries for sound effects but has no small battery compartment accessible to children.

JAKKS Pacific and Spin Master products are rated 4+ or higher. Parents should check age ratings on individual products, particularly for movie tie-in items that may include small parts not suitable for children under 3.

For general guidance on toy safety across age groups, our guides covering best toys for babies 6-12 months through best toys for tweens 11-12 include safety considerations for each developmental stage.

The Bottom Line

2026 is the strongest year for Mario toys in recent memory. The Fisher-Price Little People collaboration fills a gap that has existed since the franchise’s inception, giving toddlers their first properly designed Mario toys. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise will expand the lineup further when the film releases. And the existing LEGO, JAKKS Pacific, and collector lines continue to serve older fans.

For most families, the Fisher-Price Little People My Mario character set is the best starting point: affordable, universally appealing, and available at every major retailer.
