Pauline is finally jumping into the driver’s seat. Mattel has unveiled a special edition addition to its Mario Kart Hot Wheels series, and this time, it’s the mayor of New Donk City herself.
Originally revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, this 1:64 scale collectible will be tearing through shelves on September 26, 2025. Pre-orders are already up and running, with pricing set at $22.00 / £20.00.
Special edition Pauline joins Mario Kart Hot Wheels
Mattel’s Pauline isn’t just another repaint. She comes decked out in a sparkly red dress, black heels, and rides in the fan-favorite Badwagon kart. Her kart color? A bold “Rhodamine red,” not a shade you’ll forget anytime soon.
What makes this release feel premium isn’t just the paint. It ships in a display-ready window box, tailored for collectors who’d rather shelf it than race it.
World of Warcraft Midnight Prey system brings ambushes, duels, and rewards to make open-world play more challenging.
What sets Pauline’s release apart?
Pauline’s debut is more than cosmetic. This is her first time appearing in the Hot Wheels Mario Kart line, and Mattel is treating it as a marquee moment. According to the official Mattel Creations site, she’s tearing up Moonview Highway and showing up in full style.
Here’s what you’re getting with this release:
- 1:64 scale Badwagon kart
- Exclusive Rhodamine red body
- Pauline figure with signature outfit
- Collector display window packaging
- Ships 26th September 2025
A fresh spin on a long-overdue character
It’s about time Pauline got some spotlight beyond New Donk stages and rhythm mini-games. This collectible brings her racing credentials into sharp focus, and fans of both Hot Wheels and Mario Kart should take note.
Whether you’re racing or displaying, this drop puts Pauline in pole position.
