Get over 30 patterns for Mario perler beads! There are a variety of characters and symbols from Nintendo’s classic game series. These Super Mario hama beads are perfect for kids or adults!
I believe it was Christmas of 1985 when my dad first brought home a Nintendo Entertainment System. I was 8 years old, and the way that he introduced me to the new purchase was to wake me up in the morning by shoving the R.O.B. in my face.
Don’t remember the R.O.B.? It was a little “robot” that came with the system the first few years it was out, and it could play a few games with you.
My dad didn’t even wait until Christmas morning to show me because at the time, it was so futuristic and cool that he couldn’t! And I don’t blame him. It was exciting back then.
We had an Atari because my dad always liked computers and video games. But nothing compared to that first Nintendo! Nothing. I don’t even want to know how many hours we logged on it.
As you can imagine, my brothers and I (and our father) played a lot of Mario Brothers. Hours and hours (I don’t want to know). And we had Super Mario Bros. and all those sequels. We were obsessed.
I have to say it’s still my favorite video game of all time, along with Mega Man and then Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega platform.
And because of my deep love for those cute little Italian brothers who can jump so high, I’m pleased to share this collection of Mario perler beads with you! There are over 30 patterns below that I think you’re going to love.
Both good and bad are represented with several characters, and I’ve also got some accoutrements for you. Some of the patterns are small and some are larger. That way? You’ve got some options depending on time and attention span.
Perler beads are recommended for ages six and up, so this is a very fun craft to try with kids. They love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads). But don’t be shy – adults love them too!
Tips for Using Perler Beads
Before we get into the patterns, I want to review a few basics of using fuse beads to make sure you get the best results. If you don’t want the tips, scroll down to the bottom to get the Super Mario fuse bead patterns.
Remember that the overall goal is to melt the beads together on both sides while still leaving the holes open. Here’s how you get the best results. I’m going to show you on Baby Yoda.
Use Ironing or Parchment Paper
Place ironing paper or parchment paper over the beads on the pegboard. Be gentle so you don’t disturb the beads underneath.
Heat your iron to the medium setting (no steam). In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. Don’t press down too hard with the iron. When ironed properly, the beads will still have an open center. Check and make sure your edges are melted. Let the design cool on the pegboard.
Note: BE CAREFUL about lifting up the paper while you’re ironing! If you want to check, carefully peel back paper around the edge of your design and see if all the beads are melted.
If you lift the paper up quickly and there are a lot of unmelted beads, they will easily fall off or go flying and you may be forced to start over. Sometimes the edges need more time so when you check, just check the edges and peel paper back slowly.
Another Note: some beads melt faster than others (clear melts faster than white, for example). So some holes might be larger than others. It’s okay! That’s part of the look of the project.
Iron the Other Side
Remove the bead design from the pegboard. Flip it over to the non-melted side and repeat the fusing process.
Remove the Paper
Let cool completely and remove the paper again (which is reusable). Some people pull the paper off after they iron the first side, but I just wait until the end and peel off both pieces. It’s up to you!
Now if you’re ready for the Super Mario perler beads, here are the patterns.
Super Mario Hama Beads
Make sure to check out these notes:
- A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need aextra large pegboard(49 x 69 tall) or to put four square pegboards together (or two depending on how wide the pattern is).
- When I say the small patterns below use a regular board, that means the individual patterns. For example, the first image below has six patterns. You can do any one of those individually on one square pegboard (but they might not all fit together one a pegboard).
- Some of the backgrounds below aren’t white – that’s simply to give contrast to the pattern so you can see where all the white beads should go.
The patterns below use a regular 5.7″, 29 x 29 pegboard.

As an expert and enthusiast, I have access to a vast amount of information on various topics, including Super Mario perler beads. While I have personal experiences or opinions, I can provide you with factual information and tips related to perler beads and Super Mario patterns.
Perler Beads Basics and Tips:
Perler beads, also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads, are small plastic beads that can be arranged on a pegboard to create designs. The beads are then fused together using heat, typically with an iron, to create a solid piece of artwork. Here are some basic tips for using perler beads:
- Ironing or Parchment Paper: Place ironing paper or parchment paper over the beads on the pegboard before ironing. This protects the beads and allows them to melt together while still leaving the holes open.
- Ironing Process: Heat your iron to the medium setting (no steam) and iron the project in a circular motion. Be gentle to avoid disturbing the beads underneath. Avoid pressing down too hard with the iron. The beads should still have an open center after ironing.
- Check for Melting: Check and make sure the edges of the design are melted. Carefully peel back the paper around the edge of your design to see if all the beads are melted. If there are unmelted beads, continue ironing until they fuse together.
- Iron the Other Side: Remove the bead design from the pegboard and flip it over to the non-melted side. Repeat the ironing process to fuse the beads on the other side.
- Remove the Paper: Let the design cool completely, then remove the paper. Some people prefer to remove the paper after ironing one side, while others wait until the end and peel off both pieces. Choose the method that works best for you.
