Play Super Mario 2048 online
Super Mario 2048 brings the Mushroom Kingdom to the classic merge puzzle. Slide the board, match equal tiles and climb from a single Coin to Mario himself. Each merge swaps two tiles for the next name on the ladder, so the board fills with Koopas, power-ups and familiar faces. It is free to play in the browser on phone, tablet or computer.
Mario first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, where he was called Jumpman. Super Mario Bros. on the NES followed in 1985 and introduced most of the cast on this board, including Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Bowser and the Fire Flower. Yoshi joined later, in Super Mario World in 1990.
The 11 Super Mario tiles
The ladder goes from the humblest thing in the Mushroom Kingdom to its hero. A Coin is the smallest tile, then the two classic enemies, Goomba and Koopa Troopa. Two power-ups come next, the Fire Flower and the Super Star, followed by friends: Toad, Yoshi and Luigi, Mario’s younger twin brother and the second player. Princess Peach and Bowser, the King of the Koopas who keeps kidnapping her, sit near the top. The 2048 tile is Mario, the plumber who has headlined the series since 1985. The tiles use names and emoji only, not Nintendo artwork.

How to play Super Mario 2048
Slide every tile at once
Use your arrow keys ( ← ↑ ↓ → ) or W A S D to move the tiles.
All tiles slide as far as they can in that direction, and a new Coin tile appears after every move.
Play on your phone
On a phone or tablet, swipe anywhere on the board to move the tiles.
Your game is saved in your browser, so you can pick it up later on the same device.
Match two to unlock the next
When two tiles with the same picture touch, they merge into one.
Two Coin tiles make Goomba, and every merge adds the new tile’s value to your score.
Reach the final tile
The goal is to build the 2048 tile: Mario.
You can keep playing after you reach it and chase an even higher score.
2048Tips to win Super Mario 2048
- Treat one corner as the castle and keep your largest tile there. Bowser should sit next to it, waiting for a second Bowser so you can merge your way to Mario.
- Keep low tiles like Coins and Goombas away from your top row. Let them merge on the open side of the board, then slide the results toward your chain of bigger characters.
- Count before you swipe. If a move would drop a new Coin into the gap next to your corner, choose a different direction, even if it means skipping an easy merge.
Super Mario 2048 FAQ
What is the final tile in Super Mario 2048?
The final tile is Mario. He is the star of the series and its namesake, so he sits above Bowser, Peach and Luigi as the reward for reaching 2048.
Is Super Mario 2048 an official Nintendo game?
No. It is a fan-made, themed version of the 2048 puzzle that uses character names and emoji. It is not made or endorsed by Nintendo and uses no Nintendo artwork.
When did Yoshi first appear in Mario games?
Yoshi debuted in Super Mario World, released in Japan in 1990 for the Super Famicom. He has been a regular in the series ever since, which is why he has a tile here.
How do I get a higher score in Super Mario 2048?
Your score rises by the value of every merge, so bigger merges count more. Keep your best tile in a corner, build a falling chain beside it and avoid moves that scatter your big tiles.
