'Pokémon Sleep' comes to select Garmin smartwatches

In time for World Sleep Day, Pokémon Sleep now works with select Garmin smartwatches, so you can track your sleep while also learning about Pokémon sleep styles. As part of the launch, there are two Pokémon-themed watch faces you can get for free from the Garmin Connect IQ store: "Pokémon Sleep: Snorlax & Friends" and "Pokémon Sleep: I Choose You." These watch faces are reactive and rely on your Garmin Body Battery. So, if you're tired and your energy is low, the Pokémon on your wrist will look tired or change poses, too. At night, a random sleep style will be displayed on your watch face.

If you use the app and track your sleep between March 13, 2026 and November 1, 2026, you get 3 Poké Biscuits, which you can claim in the app's Gift Box within 90 days.

LEGO is building up its Mario Kart series, with the launch of the new Luigi & Mach 8 set. The 2,234-piece model is designed for builders and collectors ages 18 and up and costs $249.99 in Canada. It's available for preorder now and will come in stores and online starting April 1.

This large-scale, buildable model comes with a Luigi figure that has a moving head and arms. The Mach 8 kart features a movable steering wheel that actually turns the front tires, while spinning the back wheels makes a "flame" in the exhaust pipe spin. It comes with a special base that lets you prop the kart up as if Luigi is drifting around the corner. However, you can also take it off the stand and roll the model across the floor, if you want.
