Power up and jump into a Super Mario adventure at the library!
Stomp, toss, create, and play like you're in the Mushroom Kingdom! Race through five game-inspired stations that will test your skills and show off your superstar moves.
At Yoshi’s Egg Decorating, help Yoshi hatch new colorful eggs by decorating them with markers. Maybe you'll even find a hidden 1-Up Mushroom inside! But beware - Bowser turned the floor into hot lava. In the Hot Lava Challenge, jump across platforms like Mario does in a castle. Don’t fall in, or you'll have to start over! Piranha Plants are popping out of warp pipes! Craft your surprise attack Piranha Plant to take home. At the Fireball Toss Showdown, toss fireballs (ping pong balls) into the Piranha Plants' mouths to defeat them before they chomp! Finally, at the Goomba Stomp Challenge, grab your Super Star power and stomp out as many Goomba balloons as you can before time runs out! Don’t let Bowser’s minions take over!
As bonus fun, dress as your favorite Mario character! —Let’s-a-go!
