Mario Coloring Page: Free Printable Super Mario for Kids

Super Mario Bros. Coloring Page | Halyna Bihus

Get ready for a colorful trip into the Mushroom Kingdom with our free printable Mario coloring page, featuring one of the most recognizable characters in video game history.

Mario’s familiar red cap, blue overalls, white gloves, brown shoes, and famous mustache give kids an easy starting palette, but there is no requirement to keep everything traditional. Turn his outfit green and purple, create a rainbow Mario, invent a fire-and-ice color scheme, or draw an entirely new world around him filled with coins, mushrooms, pipes, clouds, castles, and other game-inspired details.

Because this printable focuses on Mario himself, there is lots of room to make the surrounding scene your own. He could be running across a grassy platform, exploring an underground pipe system, collecting coins, heading toward a castle, racing a kart, or discovering a completely original world that exists only on your coloring page.

Grab your crayons, colored pencils, or markers and get ready to add some color to Mario’s next adventure.

🍄 Explore Our Mario Coloring Page

This page features a single Mario character design, making Mario the clear focus rather than surrounding him with a crowded group of characters.

That gives colorists plenty of opportunities to work on:

Mario’s cap
Blue overalls
Shirt
Gloves
Shoes
Mustache
Small clothing details
Background scenery

You can keep the page simple and color only Mario, or turn the blank areas around him into a complete Mushroom Kingdom-inspired scene.

For even more famous characters, you can continue afterward with our Coloring Pages of Spider-Man, Godzilla Coloring Page, or PAW Patrol Coloring Page.

🔴 Start With Mario’s Famous Red Cap

Mario is especially easy to recognize because of his bright red cap.

Use:

Scarlet
Cherry red
Crimson
Dark red

rather than relying on one flat shade.

Start with medium red across most of the cap. Add darker red beneath the brim and wherever the hat curves away from your imaginary light source.

Leave a small lighter area along the top.

That variation can make a simple cartoon cap look much more dimensional.

🔵 Color Mario’s Blue Overalls

Mario’s blue overalls create strong contrast with the red areas of his outfit.

Try:

Bright blue
Denim blue
Navy

Use bright blue across the main fabric.

Add navy around folds and edges.

Keep small highlights lighter.

If there are buttons, gold or yellow can provide another bright detail.

The combination of red cap + blue overalls is one of Mario’s most recognizable visual signatures.

👕 Don’t Forget Mario’s Red Shirt

Mario’s shirt continues the red portion of the color scheme.

You can use the exact same red as the cap or introduce a slightly different shade.

For example:

Cap: Bright scarlet

Shirt: Deeper red

That subtle difference can make the clothing feel less flat while keeping Mario’s familiar appearance.

⚪ Color the White Gloves

Mario’s gloves are traditionally white.

Instead of leaving them completely blank, use very pale:

Gray
Blue-gray
Lavender

around the edges.

Keep the centers white.

This little bit of shading can help the gloves stand out from the white paper without changing their familiar color.

🤎 Color Mario’s Shoes

Brown works well for Mario’s shoes.

Try layering:

Tan
Chestnut
Chocolate brown

Use darker brown along the soles.

Add slightly lighter brown across the upper sections.

If you enjoy adding extra detail, a few highlights can make the shoes appear polished.

🥸 Color Mario’s Mustache

Mario’s mustache is another instantly recognizable feature.

Use:

Dark brown
Black

Keep it solid and bold.

If the printed outline has enough room, use dark brown near the center and black around the deepest shadows.

The mustache is a small part of the picture, but it plays a huge role in making Mario immediately recognizable.

🎨 Create Mario’s Classic Color Palette

For the most familiar Mario-inspired look, gather:

Red
Blue
White
Brown
Black
Yellow or gold

Use red and blue as the dominant colors.

Save white and brown for smaller details.

Add yellow or gold where appropriate on buttons, coins, stars, or background objects.

This limited palette can make the finished page look clean and bold.

🌈 Create a Rainbow Mario

Traditional colors are optional.

Try:

Cap: Purple
Shirt: Orange
Overalls: Turquoise
Shoes: Green

Or divide clothing areas into rainbow colors.

Maybe the cap becomes:

Red → Orange → Yellow

while the overalls become:

Green → Blue → Purple.

Add rainbow coins in the background.

Your version does not need to match any game.

💜 Create a Purple Mario

Use:

Lavender
Violet
Deep purple

for the cap and shirt.

Pair them with turquoise overalls.

Keep the gloves white and shoes brown.

A completely new palette can make a familiar character look surprisingly different while the mustache, hat, and overalls still make him recognizable.

🔥 Create a Fire-Themed Mario

Turn the page into a blazing adventure.

Use:

Red
Orange
Golden yellow
Black

throughout the background.

Draw flame-like shapes.

Make coins look like glowing embers.

Add a fiery sky.

Perhaps this version of Mario is exploring a volcanic world.

❄️ Create an Ice-Themed Mario

Now try the opposite.

Use:

Pale blue
Turquoise
Navy
White
Silver

Add:

Snowflakes
Icicles
Frozen platforms

Give the background snow-covered mountains.

Perhaps every pipe is covered with frost.

🌌 Create a Galaxy Mario

Color Mario traditionally, then build an outer-space background.

Use:

Navy
Purple
Magenta
Turquoise

Add:

Stars
Planets
Moons
Comets

Mario has appeared in adventures that stretch far beyond ordinary landscapes, so a space-inspired coloring scene feels right at home.

🍄 Draw the Mushroom Kingdom

The official Mario character guide describes Mario as one of the main heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Create your own version around the printable.

Draw:

Rolling green hills
Blue sky
Puffy clouds
Mushrooms
Pipes
Blocks
Castle

Use broad, cheerful colors.

The finished page can feel like a complete game level rather than a single-character portrait.

🟢 Add a Green Pipe

Pipes are one of the most familiar visual elements associated with classic Mario adventures.

Draw a large pipe beside Mario.

Use several greens:

Lime
Leaf green
Forest green

Add darker green on one side.

Keep the opposite side lighter.

Maybe the pipe leads underground.

Or perhaps it transports Mario into another world.

🕳️ Where Does the Pipe Go?

Turn the pipe into a story prompt.

Maybe it leads to:

Underground cave
Cloud kingdom
Ocean world
Desert
Frozen castle
Candy world
Space station

Draw the destination on another sheet of paper.

Give it a name.

Maybe:

Rainbow Caverns

Chocolate Coin Kingdom

🪙 Add Golden Coins

Draw circles around Mario.

Color them:

Yellow
Gold
Orange-yellow

Leave a tiny pale highlight to make them appear shiny.

Add:

1 coin
2 coins
3 coins
4 coins

Then count the total.

Coins can turn the picture into a simple math activity as well as a game-inspired scene.

🔢 Count Mario’s Coins

Draw ten coins.

Number them:

1 through 10.

Color every odd-numbered coin yellow.

Color every even-numbered coin orange.

Older kids can create simple addition questions.

For example:

Mario collects 4 coins and then 3 more. How many coins does he have?

⭐ Add a Super Star

Draw a large star.

Color it:

Yellow
Gold

Add little black eyes if you want a familiar game-inspired look.

Place smaller stars around it.

For an imaginative variation, create:

Pink star
Purple star
Rainbow star

Perhaps each one has a different power.

🍄 Draw a Mushroom Power-Up

Draw a mushroom with:

Rounded cap
Small stem

Use:

Red
White
Cream

or create your own colors.

Maybe:

Blue Mushroom

Rainbow Mushroom

Golden Mushroom

Invent what each version does.

Perhaps the purple mushroom allows Mario to fly.

🌈 Design Your Own Power-Up

Mario games are famous for unusual power-ups, which makes them perfect inspiration for imaginary designs.

Draw a new object.

Maybe:

Crystal flower
Moon mushroom
Rainbow fruit
Thunder star
Iceberry

Give it a name.

Then write:

Power: __________

What happens when Mario finds it?

🐘 Invent a Transformation

Modern Mario games have continued adding playful transformations and power-ups.

Create one of your own.

Maybe Mario transforms into:

Lion
Dragon
Penguin
Robot
Shark

Draw the transformed version beside the coloring page.

Give the new form a special ability.

Perhaps Dragon Mario can glide between platforms.

🧱 Add Question Blocks

Draw square blocks in the background.

Use:

Yellow
Gold
Orange

Add a large question mark.

Imagine what is inside each.

Maybe:

Coin
Star
Mushroom
Something completely new

Draw five blocks and put a different surprise in each.

🧱 Build a Platform Level

Turn the background into a side-scrolling game course.

Draw:

Platforms
Blocks
Pipes
Hills
Coins

Leave gaps between some platforms.

Maybe Mario needs to jump from one to the next.

Color each section differently.

The picture can become an imaginary game screenshot.

🏃 Mario Is Famous for Jumping

Nintendo’s official Mario guide describes Mario’s jumping ability as one of his defining skills.

That goes all the way back to his earliest video-game roots.

Draw Mario jumping toward:

Coin
Platform
Mushroom
Star

Add curved motion lines.

Maybe he has to jump over a puddle or pit.

📏 Create a Mario Jump Challenge

Draw three platforms.

Make them different heights.

Label them:

Low

Medium

High

Draw arrows showing possible jumps.

Ask:

Which platform should Mario jump to first?

This can become a small planning activity rather than a real game.

🏰 Add Princess Peach’s Castle

Draw a large castle in the distance.

Include:

Towers
Flags
Windows
Drawbridge

Use:

Pink
Cream
Red
Gold

Add blue sky around it.

Perhaps Mario is on his way to visit Princess Peach rather than rushing into another rescue.

👑 Add Princess Peach

Draw a simple character beside Mario.

Use:

Pink dress
Golden hair
Crown

Princess Peach is one of the major characters of the Mushroom Kingdom and often joins Mario’s adventures.

She does not always have to wait in a castle.

Modern games frequently let Peach take part in the action herself.

🟢 Add Luigi

Mario’s brother Luigi is another hero of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Nintendo’s official guide identifies him by his green hat and green shirt.

Draw another character beside Mario.

Use:

Mario: Red

Luigi: Green

The two contrasting colors make them easy to distinguish.

💚 Create a Mario & Luigi Color Study

Draw two simple sets of overalls and caps.

For Mario:

Red cap
Blue overalls

For Luigi:

Green cap
Blue overalls

Then invent a third brother or friend.

Choose a completely new signature color.

Maybe:

Purple
Orange
Turquoise

Give your new character a name.

🦖 Add Yoshi

Draw a friendly dinosaur-like character.

Use familiar bright green or invent:

Blue
Red
Yellow
Purple

Add a saddle-like area on the back.

Yoshi brings even more cheerful color to the picture.

You can also explore prehistoric creatures of a very different kind in our Coloring Pages of Dinosaurs.

🐢 Draw a Koopa-Inspired Character

Draw a turtle-like game character.

Use:

Green shell
Yellow body

or:

Red shell
Orange body

Give it a completely new expression.

Maybe this character does not want to fight Mario at all.

Perhaps it wants to join him for lunch.

🐲 Add Bowser

For a bigger challenge, draw a huge turtle-and-dragon-inspired villain in the distance.

Use:

Green
Orange
Yellow
Red

Add:

Spiked shell
Horns
Claws

Nintendo identifies Bowser as Mario’s archrival.

Make him enormous compared with Mario to emphasize the difference in scale.

🎨 Create a Friendly Bowser

Your coloring page does not have to follow game stories.

Maybe Bowser and Mario are not battling today.

Draw:

Party hat
Birthday cake
Balloons

Perhaps everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom is taking the afternoon off for a celebration.

🏎️ Turn Mario Into a Kart Racer

Mario is not limited to platform adventures.

Nintendo’s character guide also highlights his involvement in activities such as kart racing and sports.

Draw a kart behind him.

Add:

Four wheels
Steering wheel
Number
Racing stripes

Choose:

Red
Blue
Black

Then build a racetrack around the page.

🏁 Design a Mario Racing Track

Draw:

Starting line
Curves
Checkered flags
Grandstands

Create hazards such as:

Puddles
Giant mushrooms
Tunnels

Make the track completely imaginary.

Maybe it runs around a volcano.

Or through a candy kingdom.

Mario has appeared in games involving:

Soccer
Tennis
Golf
Baseball

Choose one.

Draw the equipment.

Maybe:

Soccer: Ball and goal

Baseball: Bat and bases

Now the coloring page becomes a sports scene.

🎾 Design Mario’s Sports Uniform

Keep the red-and-blue palette or create a new team uniform.

Add:

Jersey number

Mushroom Kingdom Stars

Design an opponent team too.

Create a completely different setting.

Sand
Ocean

Sun

Give Mario sunglasses.

Draw a beach ball.

Maybe the Mushroom Kingdom heroes finally get a vacation.

Use bright turquoise and yellow throughout the background.

❄️ Send Mario Into the Snow

Draw:

Snowflakes
Mountains
Snowman
Pine trees

Add a scarf.

Color the sky pale blue.

Maybe Mario needs to travel through a snowy world to find a hidden star.

Red
Orange

Add smoke.

Keep Mario’s blue overalls bright so they stand out against the fiery background.

Spiderwebs
Witch hats
Candy

Maybe Mario wears a costume.

🎮 A Little Mario History

The character who became Mario has been part of Nintendo’s video-game history for more than four decades.

Nintendo’s own history materials trace his roots to the arcade game Donkey Kong, released in 1981.

At the time, the hero was known as Jumpman.

The character was later renamed Mario.

Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. arrived in the mid-1980s and established the side-scrolling Mushroom Kingdom adventure that became foundational to the Super Mario series.

🕹️ Mario Began as Jumpman

In Donkey Kong, the early version of Mario climbed through a construction-site setting while avoiding obstacles and trying to reach the top.

Nintendo’s history materials identify the character as originally being called Jumpman.

That name makes sense when you consider what Mario is still famous for today.

Jumping remains one of his defining actions.

Draw an old-school-inspired scene with:

Ladders
Platforms
Barrels

Then draw a modern Mushroom Kingdom background beside it.

🍄 Super Mario Bros. Arrived in 1985

Nintendo’s official Mario timeline begins the core Super Mario history with Super Mario Bros., released in 1985.

The game sends Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom on a quest involving Bowser and Princess Toadstool, now better known as Princess Peach.

Over the decades, Mario adventures have expanded far beyond those early side-scrolling levels.

He has explored:

Castles
Deserts
Oceans
Space
Cities
Strange new kingdoms

That enormous variety makes Mario particularly easy to turn into imaginative coloring scenes.

4️⃣0️⃣ More Than Four Decades of Mario Adventures

The original Super Mario Bros. reached its 40th anniversary in 2025.

Nintendo’s official Mario history now stretches across decades of games, including titles such as:

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario World
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Bros. Wonder

The character design has changed and become more detailed over time, but the red cap, blue overalls, mustache, and jumping hero remain familiar.

🎨 Compare Old & New Mario

Look at images from early Mario games and newer ones.

Notice differences in:

Number of colors
Shape
Detail
Shading
Facial features

Early game hardware had much stricter technical limitations than modern systems.

Today’s Mario can be shown with rounded 3D forms, detailed animation, and complex lighting.

Try coloring one version with only a few bold colors.

Then color another with detailed shading.

🟫 Create Pixel Art Mario

Draw a square grid.

Use colored squares to build a simple character.

Choose:

Red
Blue
Brown
Cream

Each square acts like a pixel.

You do not need to copy an existing game sprite.

Design your own blocky video-game hero.

🟪 Make Your Own Pixel Character

Create a 10×10 or larger square grid.

Decide:

Hair color
Hat color
Shirt color
Shoes

Fill individual squares.

Give the character a name.

Maybe it belongs in a completely original game you invent yourself.

🎮 Design Your Own Video Game Level

Draw a long horizontal course.

Include:

Start
Platforms
Coins
Obstacles
Finish

Decide where Mario begins.

Add arrows showing the route.

Then give the level a name.

Rainbow Ridge

Mushroom Mountain

Moonlight Caverns

Chocolate Castle

🗺️ Draw a Mushroom Kingdom Map

Create a fantasy map.

Include places such as:

Peach’s Castle

Green Pipe Valley

Coin Mountain

Mushroom Forest

Bowser’s Castle

Draw roads or dotted paths between locations.

Put a star where Mario begins his adventure.

🏁 Design a Game Goal

Every imaginary game needs an objective.

Maybe Mario must:

Find 10 stars
Rescue a lost Yoshi
Reach a castle
Collect rainbow coins
Find a hidden key

Write:

MISSION:

and finish the sentence.

Then draw the objects he needs.

🔑 Create a Hidden-Key Challenge

Draw three keys around the coloring page.

Maybe:

Gold
Silver
Blue

One key opens the castle.

One opens a pipe.

One opens a mystery box.

Write what each does.

🔍 Create a Mario I Spy Page

Hide game-inspired objects around the background.

Find:

5 coins
3 mushrooms
2 stars
1 green pipe
4 clouds

Color everything.

Give the finished page to someone else.

Can they find all the hidden items?

🔢 Create a Coin Counting Game

Draw 20 coins.

Color every fifth coin red instead of gold.

Count by fives:

5
10
15
20

Or divide coins into groups of four.

A game-inspired coloring page can become a simple counting activity without needing to make big claims about educational benefits.

🔤 M Is for Mario

Write a large M.

Practice:

M is for Mario.

Think of more M words:

Mushroom
Moon
Map
Mountain

Decorate the M with coins and stars.

underneath.

Try spotting the letter M in the word.

🔴 Practice Color Recognition

Mario’s familiar outfit gives younger kids several basic colors to identify.

Find:

Red
Blue
White
Brown

Then draw four circles.

Color one with each.

Older children can create lighter and darker versions:

Red → Crimson

Blue → Navy

🎲 Play Mario Roll-and-Color

Grab a six-sided die.

Assign:

1 — Red
2 — Blue
3 — Yellow
4 — Green
5 — Purple
6 — Your choice

Roll.

Color one part of the background with the matching color.

Continue until the scene is finished.

The resulting Mushroom Kingdom may be far more colorful than usual.

🪙 Play Roll-a-Coin

Roll a die.

Draw that many coins.

Keep rolling until you reach 30.

Count the final total.

Use different gold and yellow shades throughout the coins.

🧩 Create a Mario Maze

Draw a simple maze.

At the start, place Mario.

At the finish, draw:

Star
Castle
Mushroom

Add dead ends.

Maybe some contain coins.

Give the finished maze to someone else to solve.

📖 Write a Mario Adventure

Use the coloring page as the opening illustration.

Try:

Mario jumped through the green pipe and discovered…

The Mushroom Kingdom woke up one morning to find that all the coins had…

Mario found a strange rainbow mushroom that…

Nobody knew where Luigi had gone until…

Younger children can tell the story aloud.

Older kids can write several paragraphs.

🔎 The Missing Power-Up Mystery

A special power-up has disappeared.

Who took it?

Possible suspects:

Luigi
Yoshi
Toad
Bowser
Someone new

Draw clues around the page.

Maybe there is a trail of coins.

Write the solution.

Use:

Green
Purple
