| |
| '''Mario's face''' is a floating, disembodied head of [[Mario]]. The gameplay element of an interactive floating head of Mario has appeared in many games.
| |
|
| |
| Mario's floating head (animated with [[Mario in Real Time|VActor technology]]) first appeared in ''[[Mario Teaches Typing]]'' and its sequel ''[[Mario Teaches Typing 2]]''. He narrated [[player]]s' lessons and actions as they learned to type, and also made lots of random small talk. Later the head appeared on the title screen of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', where players could tug and stretch his facial features, such as nose, ears, cheeks, chin, and hat, to humorous positions. As ''Super Mario 64'' was [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] first title for the [[Nintendo 64]], an interactive Mario face served to familiarize the player to the [[Nintendo 64]] controller without worrying about actual gameplay. Additionally, if the player gets a [[Game Over]], the Mario head will appear dazed and beat up.

| |
| Mario's face later appeared in the ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' version of [[Face Lift]] (also in ''[[Mario Party|Mario Party 1]]'', but with [[Bowser]]'s face and no other faces), where the player has to alter the face of Mario or other characters in the game. The more accurately the face is changed to match a picture, the more points the player receives. The player who earns the most points wins. Soon in the next game ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Mario's face is one of the faces (alongside Wiggler and Toad) to appear in the minigame [[Picture Imperfect]]. The player must get his M on his hat right, nose right, mustache right, mouth right and eyes right.

| |
| In the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Mario head appeared along with a Yoshi head. In this game, Mario's face is able to turn into an ink outline version of itself, which can be distorted with the [[stylus]] or various buttons. The player can also erase the face and draw his or her own creations.
| |
|
| |
| Mario's face is also a feature in some of the [[minigame]]s in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' When the player opens a chest in [[Boom Box (minigame)|Boom Box]], the chest makes a sound, astonishing the Mario head on the top screen. If the player makes a mistake, the Mario head frowns, while if the player succeeds, the Mario head beams joyously at the player. If the player gets a Game Over in any minigame, Mario's face will yell and look dazed. When a player clears any minigame round, the Mario face is astonished, then bursts out laughing.
