Jump into this Plus-Plus Mario mosaic with these free 2D step-by-step instructions and printable PDF pattern.

This 146-piece Nintendo-inspired portrait captures Mario's red cap with M emblem, blue overalls, and familiar mustache in flat pixel art - separate from the Mario & Luigi duo build and the small 3D Mario model on the site. The red cap block is the first thing every player recognizes.

Rated medium difficulty with about 13 minutes of build time. The instructions map the face and cap first, then overalls and shirt sections. Getting the red-to-blue boundary clean at the shoulders sells the classic Mario look.

Follow online or download the PDF for offline building. Sort reds, blues, browns, and skin-tone pieces before starting the grid.

Ideal for gaming rooms, Mario Kart party crafts, or building alongside the Mario & Luigi pattern for a full Mushroom Kingdom display. Nail the mustache placement for maximum nostalgia.
