USJ’s new Mario Kart merch brings racing style to T-shirts and caps

Mario Kart racing graphics are heading for T-shirts and caps at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. The new merchandise is scheduled to go on sale November 6, 2026, followed by separate Hello Kitty and Snoopy winter goods on November 9.

Racing logos on shirts, checks on a cap brim

The collection takes its theme from the park attraction Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge. Cream and dark charcoal T-shirts feature colorful character graphics, racing-style logos and badge motifs. Among the caps, one has a prominent black-and-white checkered brim. The range includes items for adults and children.

The racing theme also carries over to mugs, pencil cases and stationery. The preview shows a dark mug with colorful emblems and a checkered band, alongside a light-colored pencil case with red edging and a checkered strip along the bottom.

Hello Kitty’s Christmas colors and Snoopy’s winter pastels

The separate winter lineup is scheduled for November 9. Hello Kitty appears in red, white and green holiday outfits, with a red-bow headband and small character accessories among the pictured goods.

The Peanuts accessories feature Snoopy and other characters with winter hats, scarves and pale pink or blue accents. A light-blue hoodie carries winter character artwork with snowflake-like details.

The park’s winter seasonal event, Universal Holiday Wonders – Discover U!!!, is scheduled to begin November 13, 2026. If you are planning a visit around the festivities, keep that later opening date in mind: both merchandise launches are scheduled before the event begins.
