Play Online Mario Express
Have you ever wondered what Mario would do if he weren’t busy chasing Bowser around every couple of years? In Mario Express, he’s swapped his fire-flower skills for a mailman’s cap and set out to deliver letters and packages all across the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s wild seeing him dodge Goombas and Koopa Troopas not to save Peach, but to make sure a birthday card gets to Yoshi on time—plus, it adds a fun twist to the usual platforming antics we know so well.
The core of the game is all about speed and strategy. You’ll sprint through side-scrolling stages with a ticking clock overhead, but you’re not just running for the sake of running. You can bounce off blocks to jump higher, use Pokémon-style shells to blast through shortcuts, and even warp-pipe your way past trouble spots—though timing is everything, because one wrong warp and you might end up back at the start. Collecting extra coins along the route is optional but satisfying, especially when you see your score climb.
What really makes it click are the small touches: each letter comes with its own little backstory, so you’re not just delivering items—you’re helping Mario strengthen friendships with Toad, Princess Peach, and even the occasional Shy Guy. The levels range from sunny flower fields to spooky ghost houses, each sprinkled with unique hazards that keep you on your toes. And since the game uses that bright, cartoony art style Nintendo’s known for, it never gets visually boring.
If you’re into friendly competition, there’s a two-player mode where you and a buddy race head-to-head to see who can deliver the most mail before time runs out. It’s perfect for quick bursts of fun, whether you’re on the bus or lounging on the couch. All in all, Mario Express feels like a cheerful snack of a game—short enough to zip through in an afternoon but full of those little moments that make you want to hit “just one more run.”
