Mario History
Mario is one of the most popular video game characters of all time, and his history is a long and storied one.
He first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, where he was known as Jumpman.
Later, he starred in his own game, Mario Bros., which was released in 1983.
Mario has since appeared in over 200 video games, and he is the mascot of Nintendo.
He is a short, Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom where he is often tasked with rescuing Princess Peach from the evil Bowser.
Mario has a number of abilities, including the ability to jump, run, and throw fireballs.
Additionally, he can also transform into different forms, such as a raccoon, a frog, and a tanooki.
He is one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world, and he is sure to continue to entertain fans for many years to come.
Mario Movie
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a 2023 American computer-animated comedy film based on the Mario video game franchise.
Produced by Illumination and distributed by Universal Pictures, it was directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel.
An international co-production between the United States and Japan, the ensemble voice cast includes Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, Fred Armisen, Kevin Michael Richardson, Sebastian Maniscalco, Charles Martinet, and Jim Cummings.
In the film, Mario and Luigi must team up with Princess Peach to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser.
What is The Red Mushroom in Mario?
These earrings feature a red mushroom, which is a power-up in the Super Mario video game series.
When Mario eats a red mushroom, he grows larger and becomes stronger.
He can also break through bricks and other obstacles.
It has been featured in almost every Super Mario game, and it is a staple of the series.
What are The Other Mushroom Colors in Mario?
There are a number of other mushroom colors in Mario, each with its own unique ability.
- Green mushrooms make Mario grow smaller.
- Blue mushrooms make Mario invincible for a short period of time.
- Yellow mushrooms make Mario run faster.
- White mushrooms make Mario float in the air.
- Purple mushrooms make Mario shrink into a Mini Mario.
- Black mushrooms make Mario turn into a Goomba.
Each of these mushrooms can be used to help Mario overcome different obstacles and enemies.
If you want to make earrings using one of these colors instead of red, you absolutely can do that.
Polymer Clay Mushroom Beads
Mushroom beads are fun to use to make colorful earrings.
Polymer clay mushroom beads look great and are also easy to use for jewelry making at home.
The beads come packaged as all red mushrooms or as a mixed package with a variety of colors.
These are sturdy beads that will wear well and retain their bold colors, but they aren’t too heavy.
Holes are already drilled in the mushroom beads going side to side, so they are ready to use.
You’ll be able to slip them right onto the hoop earrings.
Polymer Clay Heishi Beads
Heishi beads are fun to use to make colorful earrings.
Polymer clay heishi beads look great and are also easy to use for jewelry making at home.
These are sturdy beads that will wear well and retain their bold colors, but they aren’t too heavy.
They can be purchased as strands of beads, packages of loose beads and boxed jewelry making kits with beads organized by color.
Typical size of the beads is 6mm wide by 1mm thick with a hole that is 2mm in diameter.
They fit easily on the hoop earrings
Hoop Earrings for Jewelry Making
Hoop earrings are a versatile and classic style that can be dressed up or down.
Hoops for jewelry making are available in a variety of sizes and finishes, so you can find the perfect pair to match your look.
For this Mario mushroom earring craft, I used 1.2-inch silver hoop earrings.
This is a good size for most people, but you can use whatever size you prefer.
If you are using larger hoops, you may want to add more heishi beads.
