VivoCity is giving Singapore shoppers a festive reason to power up their year-end celebrations with a larger-than-life Super Mario experience in collaboration with Nintendo. Running from 13 November to 27 December 2026, Super Mario Holiday Power-Up at VivoCity will feature Singapore’s first-ever 10-metre-tall Mario inflatable, themed installations, Nintendo gaming experiences, character meet-and-greets and exclusive shopping rewards.
The festive activation is part of VivoCity’s 20th anniversary celebrations and will transform the mall into a holiday playground inspired by the popular Nintendo franchise. Families, friends and Nintendo fans can look forward to photo opportunities, gaming activities, festive shopping and opportunities to meet some of the franchise’s most recognisable characters.
The main attraction will be at VivoCity’s Outdoor Plaza on Level 1, where a giant 10-metre Mario inflatable will emerge from an oversized green Warp Pipe in his signature fist-raised pose. Surrounding the installation will be six themed discovery zones designed for visitors to explore and capture festive photographs.
The experience begins at the Pipe Discovery Walk, featuring oversized Warp Pipes, before leading visitors to the Power-Up Block Wall, where familiar brick formations, Question Mark Blocks and golden coins create a Super Mario-inspired photo setting.
Visitors can then walk through a giant ribbon-topped arch into the Oversized Gift World, featuring towering presents and Yoshi. The Starry Christmas Grove will feature a star-topped Christmas tree, Princess Peach and other familiar Super Mario characters, alongside illuminated tree silhouettes.
As evening approaches, the Superstar Light Garden will illuminate the area with suspended stars and twinkling lights. Visitors can also enjoy VivoCity’s signature snowfall sessions, with Mario providing the festive backdrop.
The outdoor installations will be open daily from 10am to 10pm throughout the campaign. Snowfall sessions will take place from Tuesday to Sunday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm. The 10-metre Mario inflatable will be available from 13 November, while the remaining discovery zones will be unveiled progressively. Updates will be shared through VivoCity’s official channels.
Beyond the outdoor displays, shoppers can enjoy more Nintendo-themed activities inside the mall.
The Nintendo POP-UP STORE will open at Central Court, Level 1, from 1 to 27 December, operating daily from 10am to 10pm. The store will feature official Nintendo merchandise from Japan, including the Super Mario Winter Collection Plushies, a pop-up exclusive featuring familiar characters dressed in winter-themed outfits. Other character collectibles and lifestyle merchandise will also be available for fans looking for festive gifts.
Gaming enthusiasts can also get hands-on with the Nintendo Switch 2 through game demonstrations running from 20 November to 27 December at West Boulevard, Level 1, near MLB. Featured games include Mario Kart World, Pokémon Pokopia, Splatoon Raiders, Pikmin 4 and the newly released Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.
For those who enjoy a little friendly competition, the Mario Kart World Challenge will take place on 5 and 6 December, as well as 19 and 20 December. Participants can test their racing skills against other players and stand a chance to win prizes. Both the game demonstrations and racing challenge will run from 10am to 10pm.
Younger fans and longtime Nintendo followers will also have opportunities to meet Mario and Luigi in person. The character meet-and-greet sessions will take place on 5 and 6 December, 12 and 13 December, and 19 and 20 December at North-West Boulevard, Level 1, near TANGS.
There will be three sessions daily at 3pm, 5pm and 7pm, with each session lasting 30 minutes. To redeem a Meet & Greet Pass, shoppers must spend at least $100 in a single same-day receipt at VivoCity. Receipts from all mall stores, including the Nintendo POP-UP STORE, are eligible.
Passes are limited to the first 50 qualifying redemptions per session and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Each VivoRewards member is limited to one redemption per day. Redemption must be made in person at the event venue at least 30 minutes before the selected session, and passes are valid only for the designated session.
Visitors can also take part in a complimentary Super Mario gift-tag activity from 13 November to 27 December. Embossing stations located at various spots around VivoCity will allow shoppers to stamp four different character designs onto gift-tag cards, which can be used to decorate presents or kept as souvenirs.
For more festive shopping options, the TANGS Christmas Market will return to Central Court, Level 1, from 1 to 27 December. Featuring more than 50 brands, the market will offer Christmas treats, lifestyle products and gift ideas. It will operate daily from 10am to 10pm.
