Mario Vs. Cooper Troopers

Written By Lee Hartley

Set-Up

Create a rectangular playing area, and place dodgeballs along the length of both sides.

How to Play

Students, represented as Mario and his friends, line up at the starting line. On the opposite side, the Cooper Troopers stand ready with dodgeballs (resembling cannonballs).

The aim of the game is for the students to dash across the Mushroom Kingdom to reach the other side without getting struck by one of the Cooper Troopers' cannonballs.

Should a student get hit, they join the ranks of the Cooper Troopers.

Participants are only allowed to throw dodgeballs underarm, and their targets should be the body, avoiding headshots.

The winner is the individual who successfully reaches the other side without getting hit, and they are the last person to do so.
