World 1: Coin Hunt - I hid 140 gold coins around the yard and the kids had to collect them and store them in their mushroom pouches that I made.
World 2: Power Up panel - We all know you need power ups in Super Mario Bros. We made a matching game that looked similar to the Mushroom Houses in SMB. Each guest had to match a power and they won the corresponding prize. I gave Glow in the Dark Stars for Star power, silly putty mushrooms, bouncing putty fire and ice flower, and flying helicopters for heli hat. Everyone really loved this game.
World 3: Goomba Stomp - Ah those pesky goombas. The Marios and Luigis had 20 goombas to pop before we could pass this world.
World 4: Water Level - I ordered a bunch of fish squirters from OTC and each of the kids filled them up with water from buckets and then squirt the "Mario" as he swam past them. We repeated this until each kid that wanted to had a turn to be "Mario". It was funny b/c some kids ran and some went slow because they wanted to get wet.
World 5: Ghosty House - We filled up a bunch of white balloons and drew ghosty faces on them then put them in the playhouse. I opened the Ghosty House and gave each kid a balloon. We then played a form of red light green light. Mario stood at one end of the yard and all the ghosts at the other. When Mario was looking at them they couldn't move but when he turned around they moved forward and tried to tag him. This was the kids favorite game.
World 6: Yoshi Race - Mario and Luigi raced their Yoshi (green balloon) to Princess peach. They had to hop to keep the ballon between the knees so it was pretty funny.
World 7: Hot Bob-omb - Basically hot potato but we used a bob-omb instead. Always a great party game that the kids love.
World 8: Bower's Castle - The trampoline was his castle and inside were 72 mini porcupine balls. The kids had to jump and throw the balls at the Bowser pinata. Then they came out and we hit the pinata until Bowser was defeated and the party goers got their reward.
