The selection of 30 items is broken down into 5 categories: character models, figurines, containers, assembled structures, and merchandise. Naturally, most of the non-merchandise items in this list are 3D printing models, but there are also a few craft-like projects from Instructables.
Other sources include Thingiverse, MyMiniFactory, Pinshape, and Etsy.
Interested in a 3D model but don’t have a 3D printer on hand? No problem! With All3DP’s Best Price 3D Printing Service, you can compare prices between and directly order 3D prints from third party 3D printing services:
Super Mario Character Models You Can 3D Print
Mario
First on the list is the hero himself. As you can imagine, there’s no shortage of 3D printed models and figurines of Nintendo’s favorite mascot. Here we provide the perfect combination of detail and simplicity — Mario in his element.

Bowser
Over in the opposite corner of the ring awaits Mario’s archenemy, King of the Koopas. How this guy continues to hatch his schemes, despite being thwarted time and time again by Mario, is completely beyond me. Respect.

Yoshi
Next up is Yoshi, Mario’s trusted companion, and a hero in his own right. He first appeared in Super Mario World in 1990, and with any luck, he’ll soon be making an appearance on your desk!

Boo
Lurking around the corner we find Boo, ready to pounce on the Mario Brothers — when they’re not looking, of course. This 3D model actually includes several pieces, which require a small amount of assembly.

Goomba
Almost as old as Mario himself, Goombas first made an appearance in Super Mario Bros. in 1985. Despite being some of the most iconic members of the Koopa Troop, these little guys always seem to have a pretty difficult time halting Mario’s progress…

Bob-omb
Not quite so easy to defeat as Goombas, Bob-ombs have been giving Mario a run for his money for years. Don’t worry, though, this 3D model comes completely diffused. Probably.

Shy Guy
One hesitates to call Shy Guys enemies of Mario. Sure, they impede his progress sometimes, but other times they seem not to be doing much of anything at all. This 3D model stays true to the latter, quietly watching you from his spot on your shelf.

Penguin
Players of Super Mario 64 are most likely to remember these guys in a love-hate kind of way. (Countless times flying off the edge of Cool, Cool Mountain didn’t quite make up for the thrill of racing the Big Penguin.) Fortunately, they’ve made up for their anger-inducing ways in many games since then.

Super Mario Figurines You Can 3D Print
1-Up Mushroom
The mushroom is perhaps the most iconic symbol of the Mario franchise. In fact, depending on the colors you use, these need not be 1-up mushrooms, but any of the many variations found throughout the Mushroom Kingdom.

Super Star and 3-Up Moon
Granting the collector temporary invincibility, the super star is a prominent feature in most Mario games. Yet this one, and his 3-up moon companion, specifically come from Super Mario World.

Fire Flower
The fire flower is another common power-up in the Mario universe, granting him the ability to throw fireballs. While most versions of the flower appear as two neutral eyes surrounded by rings (below), this much happier depiction comes from Super Mario World.

Bullet Bill
If you want to get really precise, what this 3D print actually represents is a Banzai Bill, a larger (and much more menacing) variety of Bullet Bill. Of course, the difference is probably unimportant to Mario, who’s task is anyway the same: Get out of the way!!
Creator: Martin Moore

Thwomp
I guess if my sole purpose in life was to hop up and down in a blind attempt to crush Italians, I’d also be pretty angry. Nah, who am I kidding? I’m already angry at having to avoid these jerks in the first place.

Super Star Keychain
No list of accessories is complete without a keychain, and here’s ours! Now everyone who sees your backpack or purse will know that you, too, are a super star.

Pixelated Mario
Having been featured in 286 games to date, Mario’s physical appearance has evolved many times over the years. This 3D print seeks to honor his traditional look, specifically immortalizing the form he took in Super Mario Bros., even staying true to its 2-dimensional nature!

Super Mario Containers You Can 3D Print
Question Block Planter
Normally what comes out of a question block is a mystery, but such is not the case with this 3D print. On the other hand, you could always keep to tradition by growing some beans.

Piranha Plant Pencil Holder
If only pencils, not piranhas, had come out of warp pipes. Mario could really have gotten some work done! Then again, maybe a plumber doesn’t have much to write about…

Boo Cup
Whether you’re looking to protect a precious plant or a handful of Halloween candy, this all-purpose Boo cup is ready for the task. Who better to scare away unwanted pests?

Super Mario Structures You Can Assemble
Mario-Themed Desk Lamp
A true marvel of 3D ingenuity, this multi-component lamp is entirely 3D printed. Thankfully, as printing and assembling the structure is relatively complex, the 3D models come along with a number of instructive PDF files.
Creator: John Martin
Download: Thingiverse
Question Block Lamp
A question block lamp that actually does something when you punch it! This is the first non-3D-printed item in the list, and for good reason. Quoting the creator, “it doesn’t actually spew coins and mushrooms, but it does light up and play some sounds that are sure to make you smile.” Assembly is complex, but not difficult, as the provided instructions thoroughly detail the necessary steps, tools, and materials.

1-Up Mushroom Birdhouse
Now the birds in your neighborhood can have a little Mushroom Kingdom of their own! This DIY item isn’t 3D printed, but handmade from wood. So unless you or someone you know are familiar with woodworking, it might be best to stick to some of the other items in this list.

Amiibo Warp Pipe Holder
This 3D print will appeal to the amiibo collectors in the crowd. Your plastic figurines already spend most of their time standing around on display — why not give them a little flare?

Heat-Sensitive Mug
Imagine yourself sitting in front of your favorite Mario game on a calm Sunday morning, and pausing to take a sip of coffee or hot chocolate. Now ask yourself, what would you rather be drinking from? A regular old, boring cup? Or this super cool Super Mario mug that changes scenery when heated?

Goomba Wool Hat
Not all things Mario need to be short, fat, and Italian! Take some pity on some of the thousands of helpless minions who work tirelessly with little to no recognition! Oh, and did we mention that this hat is made from Icelandic wool?

Backpack with Insulated Lunchbox
It’s important to make sure your children are properly educated. Sending them to school every day, prepared with all the necessary materials and a packed lunch, is one example. Another is familiarizing them with all things Mario. Why not combine the two?

If you’re not already using coasters under your drinks, you really should. Besides protecting your furniture, they’re a fantastic way to share a bit of you with family, friends, and guests. Take these wooden coasters, for example: the perfect combination of function and form. (Not to mention the irony — the characters are from Paper Mario!)
