With these free activities, you and your students can use science and engineering to build your own version of Mario World.

With his overalls, M-emblazoned red cap, and determined attitude, Mario is a super popular video game character (and game franchise). In the classic version, they journey through stages of the side-scrolling platformer game, kicking Koopa shells, hitting question (?) blocks, breaking brick blocks, picking up coins, dropping down tube-like warp pipes, trying to master difficult jumps, and questing for power-ups like Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and 1-Up Mushrooms. Their mission is to rescue Princess Peach (aka Princess Toadstool) from Bowser, King of the Koopas.

In the Super Mario games, Mario and his brother Luigi are plumbers in Mushroom Kingdom.
