With that out of the way, let’s get into our list of the best Mario figures.
Mario, Luigi, and Peach
If you’re not bothered about getting some Mushroom Kingdom overworld with your Mario figures set, you can’t go wrong with this trio of classic characters. With apposable legs for double jumping and plenty of detail in the mustache, it’s Mario and pals as you know and love them.
Mario versus Bowser
In a more action-packed offering, this Mario figure set pits the hero against his arch nemesis, Bowser, with a Bob-omb minion on patrol. With these two, and just a bit of imagination, you can recreate all the times you and Mario have bested the Koopa King together in your own front room. What a time to be alive.
Mushroom Kingdom castle playset
Take back control of Mushroom Kingdom’s castle with this Mario figure playset, with all the stars from the game included. The classic castle gives you the opportunity to free Princess Peach yourself, taking out Bowser’s and his goons on your way. For the price, there are few playsets more generous than this one.
Golden Mario figure
There’s not too much I can say about this one. Look at him! He’s golden!
Bowser’s Airship
Big Mario fans will know there are few more iconic locations in the long-running series than Bowser’s airship. Now, you can take this vessel of the sky for a spin yourself, with Mario at the helm, as the legendary airship takes flight around your living room.
Raccoon Mario
Oh, so Golden Mario wasn’t good enough for you? Well, how about raccoon Mario? Inspired by the classic power-up, this simple figurine gives our hero a lovely set of animal ears, as well as the little leaf power-up pal.
Cat Peach
Why not get an animal-inspired pal for raccoon Mario with this Cat Peach figure? Complete with her pink onesie, this figure would make the perfect pastel pink accompaniment for any desk or workspace.
Talking Mario
We’ve saved the best until last with this talking Mario, the only figure on this list likely to shout “mamma mia!” up at you. Standing over 12 inches tall, and with more than thirty lines of classic Mario dialogue coded into his little plastic brain, this Mario figure is the most fun out of all entries on this list at parties but is just as happy to sit on your desk as a little bit of memorabilia.
Pop Up Mario
Okay, so this one is more of a game than a toy, but it’s still Mario-orientated so it makes the list. Stick the pins in the pipe, and if you’re the unlucky one, Mario will pop out and the game is over. The Mario toy that comes with this game is pretty cool, even with it’s oversized head, so it’s a gift idea sure to delight any Nintendo fan.
