 This fearless moustachioed
plumber never hesitates to
jump into battle to defend the
Mushroom Kingdom. With his
brother, Luigi, courageous
Princess Peach, and trusty Toad
and Yoshi at his side – not to
mention a variety of awesome
power-ups – Mario always shows
Bowser who’s boss!
Use the grid below to learn how to draw Mario. Take it box by box.
Don’t forget his bushy moustache! Use your stickers to surround
Mario with his fearless friends and fiendish foes.

 TOAD BOXES
With a friend, take turns connecting two
dots with a straight line. If the line you draw
completes a box, put your initials in it and
take another turn. You score one point for
each box containing your initials. If a box you
completed also contains a Toad, give yourself
two points. When all the boxes are completed,
the player with the most points wins!

 Mario has reached the end of Bowser’s Castle and sent the Koopa King

found! Use the minion code below to decode Toad’s message to Mario!
