Mattel has a new partnership in store with Nintendo, though we won’t see the results until next year.

Announced today, Mattel is releasing a Mario Kart-inspired line of Hot Wheels. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario, Rosalina, Toad, Bowser, and Yoshi are featured.

The Mario Kart Hot Wheels toys will be appearing at Comic-Con this week. Unfortunately, they won’t be ready until June 2019. They’ll be sold for $4.99 each.

At Comic-Con last week, Mattel showed off a Mario Kart version of its Hot Wheels AI Intelligent Race System. It features a track that can keep Mario and co. on the road while players shoot virtual hazards at each other.

CNET has a report on the toy. According to the site’s article, you can enable “RC Mode” to go off-road. You’ll also hear sounds while racing, including character voices and the same tones played when a race begins in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. You’ll also be able to place bananas and fire shells to slow down opponents, but it won’t be possible to see these on the track.

A starter kit will be sold that contains a 26-piece track plus Mario and Yoshi cars will be sold exclusively at Toys “R” Us in October for $135. A kit with Luigi is also releasing during the same month for $25. Bowser and Princess Peach will arrive before the end of 2017.
