What Is the Super Mario Bros Power-Up Sweepstakes?

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has launched the Super Mario Bros Power-Up Sweepstakes — a free-to-enter giveaway celebrating the beloved animated film franchise. Running from March 5 through March 31, 2026, this sweepstakes gives fans a chance to win an exclusive limited edition gift set packed with official Super Mario Bros Movie merchandise.

The sweepstakes is open to all U.S. residents aged 18 and older, and there is absolutely no purchase required to enter. You can enter once per day, giving you up to 30 total entries over the course of the sweepstakes period — meaning the more consistently you enter, the better your odds.

“Four lucky fans will walk away with an exclusive Super Mario Bros Movie Limited Edition Gift Set — the kind of collector’s item that doesn’t show up in stores.”

— Super Mario Bros Power-Up Sweepstakes, 2026

With only 4 prizes being awarded, this is a smaller pool sweepstakes — which means your odds are significantly better than mega-sweepstakes with thousands of winners. Every daily entry you submit meaningfully improves your chances.

★ Level 2 ★

The Full Prize Pack — What You Win

Each of the 4 winners receives the complete Super Mario Bros Movie Exclusive Limited Edition Gift Set, which includes 6 official items. The estimated retail value of each prize is $100, for a total prize pool of $400.

★ FAQ ★

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sweepstakes really free to enter? +

Yes — 100% free. No purchase necessary, no credit card, no subscription. Just fill out the form with your name, email, and date of birth. That’s it.

How many times can I enter? +

You can enter once per day during the sweepstakes period (March 5–31, 2026), for a maximum of 30 total entries. Each daily entry is a separate chance to win — so entering every single day gives you the best odds.

When will winners be announced? +

Winners will be selected on or about April 6, 2026 in a random drawing. Winner names will be publicly available after April 20, 2026. You can request the winner list by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to Universal by June 15, 2026.

How will I know if I won? +

Universal will contact winners by email at the address you used to enter. They make 2 attempts — so check your spam folder after April 6th! You’ll have 2 weeks to respond with your eligibility documents, or you’ll be disqualified.

Can I enter if I live in Puerto Rico? +

Unfortunately no — the sweepstakes is only open to residents of the 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C. Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other territories are excluded.

Can I give the prize to someone else or exchange it for cash? +

No — the prize is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. It must be accepted as awarded. However, once you receive it, what you do with it is entirely up to you.

What are my actual odds of winning? +

Odds depend on total entries received. With only 4 prizes and a relatively niche audience, this sweepstakes likely receives far fewer entries than major brand giveaways. Entering every day (30 total entries) significantly improves your odds compared to entering just once.
