Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto as Nintendo's mascot and is an extremely well known video game character, possibly the most well known of all time.[1] Imitating Mario's style for a Halloween event or a fancy dress party isn't that difficult and can be a great last minute choice because it's likely you'll have the items needed in the closet somewhere in the house! If not, take a quick trip to the local thrift store. Here are some suggestions and illustrations to assist your dressing up activity.

Steps

  1. 1
    Dress in blue overalls and a red long sleeve t-shirt. These don't have to be in great shape, and if you don't have overalls, just wear a red shirt and blue pants/jeans.
  2. 2
    Add a red cap. It is helpful if you can draw or stick on a white circle and a red capital "M" in it.

  3. 3
    Stick on a fake mustache. Use a ready-made mustache, or make one from fake fur/fluff. Another alternative is to draw one on if needed.
  4. 4
    Imitate Mario's physique. Perhaps add some padding around the tummy for a more round appearance.
  5. 5
    Add white gloves. These are trademark Mario.
  6. 6
    Wear comfortable brown colored shoes. Mario isn't going to be running around in expensive shoes!
  7. 7
    Practice your Italian accent. Everyone loves a good Mario impression.

  • Question
    Is there a way to recreate FLUDD (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device) to put on my back?

    Yes, but, it would have limited water supply. You can take a water bottle, put a tube in it and add light materials to look like FLUDD.

    How would I dress like Luigi?

    It's almost the same as dressing like Mario. You just need to make the shirt under the overalls green, replace the Mario hat with a Luigi hat, and I wouldn't stuff the overalls. Luigi is lankier. To make the Luigi hat, just get a green baseball cap and slap on an "L."
