Car-based games are no stranger to Hot Wheels tie-in promotions; Rocket League and Forza Horizon both have DLC involving toymaker Mattel's popular toy cars. However, a new merchandising partnership will be bringing Hot Wheels into gamer's living rooms in a different way. Nintendo and Mattel will be releasing a special line of Hot Wheels that feature the cast from Mario Kart. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, and more will be represented in their default karts from the game, and there will even be Hot Wheels tracks based on Mario Kart courses, as well. These little toys will be available on store shelves in June 2019, with the tracks coming out later.

But will they have amiibo functionality built into them?

already have one of the Mario ones from a few years back, which had Donkey Kong on it.

I do too! I also have a Luigi one, and a Wario one. I might have more, but I can't be bothered to check tonight.

I hope not, my wallet is only so deep after getting every single amiibo to date (minus the cereal)...

If they have a Rainbow Road track then it might be worth it to get one of these...

Good excuse to throw one at your little brother and then explain, “it flew off the track”
