Mario Kart Party Games and Activities Series

Here are a few Mario Kart party games and activities that will keep them entertained and excited about the next event. These party games are intended to be played in a sequence to determine the outright winner. Although, everyone should be a winner so be sure to emphasize this at the party!

Have the Kids Collect Coins
This is a little bit of a morph between Super Mario and Mario Kart, but in all the games there are “mini games” that add up to one winner. In Super Mario Kart, the points are added up after each race to figure out the winner. The following games are planned to be hosted in this manner where you give out chocolate coins for each event and at the end the person with the most coins wins! You can also give kids coins for just participating too, so they at least have chocolate at the end!!!

Let the games being!

Yoshi’s Egg Race
Take eggs and decorate them with green spots – that makes them Yoshi’s eggs. This is a great activity for the kids as they arrive at the party! Have a classic egg race. Have a spoon race with eggs that have been decorated with green spots! Split the kids into even teams. They will race with an egg on a spoon relay style. The first place team will get 4 coins each, 2nd place 3, etc. depending on how many teams you have.

Relay Race
You’ll need to get some supplies for this race – One team will be Mario and one team Luigi. You’ll need to get some stick on moustaches, two sets of overalls (get them at the Goodwill store, but make them big enough to fit the largest child), two sets of boots (galoshes will do), two sets of white gloves, a red shirt, a green shirt and red ball cap and a green ball cap. You can also purchase a Super Mario costume but this doesn't work as well as it's usually a one-piece jumpsuit and you're trying to create a fun relay race.

Count off the kids by 1’’’s and 2’s and try to mix up the teams a bit from the last game. Each team will be split in to two again. Each half facing each other a good 25 feet away from each other. Each team will have one set of clothes in front of them. When you say go, they will have to put on the clothes, run to the other teammate, tag them, take off the clothes, the other teammate will put on the clothes, run back, tag the other teammate, etc. The first team to get all the way through wins. The winning team gets 4 coins each, losing team gets 2 each.

Dry Dry Desert Race
One of the races in the Mario Kart is the Dry Dry Desert. It’s a race against the sand. Hopefully the weather is nice enough that you can do this outdoors! If not, maybe the garage or the kitchen table or a large floor – your choice! Take large trash bags and put them in front of each boy and give each of them a plastic cup. We recommend using either sand, dirt or even brown sugar for this game. Have them fill up the cup (tightly), dump it over and using a butter knife, carefully carve a Turtle shell. They have 3 minutes to do it without it crumbling. If they can do it they get 2 coins. If not, they get 1.

Blooper Toss Race
Those darn squids that squirt ink and you can’t see when you’re racing! Split the kids in teams of two. Fill black balloons with water. The kids must throw a water balloon to each other without it popping. Start the kids all at the same line and toss. If they catch it without it breaking they throw it back and continue along till it breaks. You can also gradually get further and further apart until the balloons aren’t caught. It’s a race – so make the pace quick! First place team gets 4 coins.3rd place gets 3 2nd place gets 2 and all others get 1.

Kuppa’s Krazy Races
Break the teams up in to 4 equal teams. At your go they will have to run up and turn over one of 4-6 pieces of paper (depending on how many kids you have coming). Some of the tasks can include: sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or unwrap and chew a piece of gum and blow a bubble or do 3 summersaults or act like a chicken while you bark like a dog for 30 seconds. Have fun, and make them wild and crazy and make the boys stretch a little! It’s a relay. First place team gets 4 coins each down to one.

Winners Ceremony
WHEW….okay, now the kids will be about ready to be done playing! Have them all count their coins. Remember, if you've mixed the teams up the amount of coins should be fairly spread out. Now you will go to the trophy ceremony!! Have all the kids gather around a give a prize to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place coin winners. The winner could receive a Mario Plush Doll, second could get Mario 3-D candies and third could get a large chocolate bar. This is also a good time to pass out the party favors that way everyone gets a prize!

Mario Kart Video Game Tournament
Of course you CAN have a Super Mario Kart tournament, but it’s really hard depending on the numbers of guests you have. I would only suggest that you do this if you have eight or fewer guests, and even that may be tough. Restless kids are never a good thing! Here are some other games that may be a bit more fun. Friends can always come over later one on one to play Mario Kart! We are going to do a full write on how to hold a good Mario Kart tournament so check back for those details or let us know how you did it (or planning to do it) for your party!

Hopefully the games above provided a good insight into a Mario Kart party games will be like. If you hosted a Mario Kart party what did you have for games? Let us know in the comments below.
