Super Mario Costume Ideas
Of course there are many different, cool and quirky characters in Super Mario. There’s no need to simply dress up as the star of the show. Why not consider some of the many Super Mario Brothers costumes and characters such as the ones below:
1. Super Mario – Of course.
2. Luigi

8. Wario
9. Cooper Trooper
10. Did you also know you can get a Mario outfit for your Dog? If you really want to give everybody a good laugh at the party then this is how you do it!
As you can see, there are many characters so why not throw a few surprises by dressing as some of the less well known ones!
Making Your Own Super Mario Costume
However if you’d like to make your own Super Mario costume then it really is quite easy! All you have to do is:
1. A pair of blue overalls, denim will do or otherwise workmen’s overalls will be perfect.
2. A red sweater to go underneath the overalls.
3. Brown or black shoes.
4. White gloves.
5. A red baseball cap.
6. A moustache! Either grow your own or you can make one or order one online. You can also pick up comedy moustaches at any joke shop.
7. If you want to make your own Luigi costume then all you need to do is switch the red for green. Everything else, right down to the moustache is exactly the same. They are brothers after all!
Super Mario Brothers Party Decorations
It’s your Super Mario decorations that will really make your guests believe they’re in a computer game and really make your party stand out, the more effort you make with the decorations the better! Pick and choose between the following dependent on what you like and what your budget is! As you can see, there is so much Mario merchandise you’ll find it a struggle to stay within budget:
1. First and foremost you really should make an effort with your dinner table. You can totally kit out the table with all kinds of great things such as Super Mario plates, cups, napkins and table cloths.
2. You can order Super Mario balloons online. What party would be complete without them?
3. You can get Super Mario life-sized cut outs online for a good price! They come in Mario, Luigi or Toad and are surprisingly life-like. You don’t just have to stand them up against the wall but you can also suspend them from the ceiling.
4. Have you seen the Mario Toadstool cushions on Amazon? You’ll want to use these even after the party!
5. Create a Super Mario Brothers ballooned archway! You can place this by your main entrance. The best colors for the balloons would be red for Mario and green for Luigi!
6. You can order online some giant Mario wall decals. They’re just like giant stickers that cover walls and windows.
7. Finally you should get some red and green bunting for the walls, totally cover them and transform your venue into a computer game!
Super Mario Party Games
1. Pin the Moustache on the Mario – This a nice variation of the classic game Pin the Tail on the Donkey! You’ll need a large poster of Mario or Luigi as well as a comedy moustache. Blindfold all the kids and take turns at pinning the moustache onto Mario. The winner gets a prize.
2. As dressing up will be a huge part of this party theme, you should state on the invitations that dressing up is a necessity! You will then be able to have a “best costume” competition!
3. Last but not least, you should have a couple of Super Mario games on hand to play. What better is there to entertain everybody? The original game would probably be the best. You can get this even on the most modern games consoles. How about having a contest to see who can finish the first level in the fastest time.
Super Mario Party Music
There’s only really a few options you can go for with the Super Mario Brothers party music and I’m sure it will drive you crazy after a bit. My advice would be to download a few of these songs and intersperse them with more contemporary songs from today, something you and the guests will enjoy listening to. But you really should download a few classic Mario tunes as it wouldn’t be a Mario party without them!
Super Mario Party Food
Well Mario is of course Italian! So you should of course go for the likes of pizza, spaghetti and of course ravioli. If you play Mario 64 and leave him to go to sleep, he actually says that his favorite food is ravioli! For desert or for party favors you should get gold coins. In fact you can order Super Mario gold coins to go in your party bags.
Super Mario Party Drinks
You should have brightly colored red cherryade and as well brightly colored green limeade. Check out Amazon and you can order Super Mario energy drinks. What more could you ask for with a Super Mario theme party?
Super Mario Party Invitations
Your invitations are very important, they set the scene for the party and lets everyone know you’re serious about it being a Super Mario theme party! So you’ll have to get some Super Mario invitations. You can order these online or you can simply find a cool picture of Mario on google images and print it off several times. Perhaps you can have a speech bubble coming from his mouth. Make sure to tell everybody to dress up!
You should also create a Super Mario party Facebook group. Facebook groups are becoming more important than ever and you’ll be able to answer any questions people have about the party via the group. When the party has finished you’ll be able to upload images and video footage to the group as a permanent reminder of the day!
