With this free application from the little-kid-friendly My Mario brand, you and your kiddo can play with Mario's face and delight in all his various expressions. ■Make Silly Faces Team up with your kiddo to see how silly Mario can get when you pull and stretch his face or take turns poking and spinning him around. Tap on the ? Block in the top-left corner of the screen and select an icon to make items—like a Super Mushroom, a Super Star, or pipes—and even enemies appear alongside Mario. ■Peekaboo!
