{{quote|Not-a bad, for a baby!|Baby Mario|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}

'''Baby Mario''' (originally formatted as '''baby Mario''') is the infant form of [[Mario]] who appears as a major character in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. Baby Mario, with [[Yoshi]] helping him, is often rescuing his younger brother, [[Baby Luigi]], who is carried off by [[Kamek]] in several games. Shortly after his debut, Baby Mario has become a recurring playable character in spinoff games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====

[[File:SMW2 Superstar Mario.png|thumb|left|Baby Mario, as originally depicted for ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'']]

Baby Mario is one of the main protagonists in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. Here, the [[Stork]] is on his way to deliver Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to their parents in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Kamek]], however, has predicted that the Mario Brothers will cause problems for the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s in the future, and he attempts to kidnap the babies. He successfully kidnaps [[Baby Luigi]] and the Stork, while Baby Mario falls into [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] and lands on the back of [[Yoshi]]. Yoshi brings Baby Mario to the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and they decide to help Baby Mario rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek and [[Baby Bowser]]. After they journey throughout the worlds, they reach [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Baby Bowser's Castle]], where they battle Baby Bowser. After defeating him, Yoshi and Baby Mario rescue Baby Luigi. Then, the brothers are brought back to their parents.

Baby Mario is a major protagonist in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. He is one of the babies kidnapped by [[Kamek]] in his search for the [[star children]]. The Stork arrives just in time, however, and manages to rescue Baby Mario, who drops onto Yoshi's back as in the original ''Yoshi's Island'' game. He is one of the babies who accompany the Yoshis on their quest to rescue the other children that Kamek has kidnapped. As the other babies in this game, Baby Mario possesses special abilities that he can use to assist the Yoshis. His powers enable the Yoshi that is carrying him to dash quickly, as well as causing [[M Block]]s to be visible. Baby Mario, the Yoshis, and the other babies eventually succeed in rescuing all the children from Kamek and [[Bowser]], after which he is revealed to be one of the seven star children.

 

 

After [[Baby Bowser]] and [[Bowser|his older self]] are both defeated, the Stork takes Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to their correct parents.

 

 

Baby Mario appears in the manga series ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' several times. His first appearance is issue 14, where it is based on ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The volume starts off with adult Mario and Luigi traveling to the past in order to stop Bowser from helping Kamek kidnap Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. The adult Mario Bros. also help Yoshi deliver Baby Mario. Volume 15 also contains story arcs relating to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', where Baby Mario can be seen in Superstar Mario form.

 

 

 

===''Mario Golf''===

[[File:Babymariogolf2.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork of Baby Mario in ''Mario Golf'']]

Baby Mario is a playable character in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''. He is a basic character, being a default character out of four. Baby Mario has a weak draw shot, meaning his shots have a small curve to the left, with a drive of 215 yards. In result, he is the strongest of all the default characters in single-player modes, as he can send the ball the furthest, but his ability to hit the ball is compromised by his lower control and sweet spot.

 

Baby Mario is a non-playable character in the [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]].

====''Mario Tennis''====

Baby Mario is a playable character in both the [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 version]] and [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of ''Mario Tennis''. He is a speed character who offers more power than other characters of this type, although Baby Mario lacks reach. He also shares a stage with Yoshi, simply titled the Baby Mario and Yoshi Court. His tennis racket's insignia is a lowercase letter M. Uniquely in the Game Boy Color version is a minigame starring Baby Mario, [[Baby Mario Target Shot]].

====''Mario Power Tennis''====

In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Baby Mario, alongside Baby Luigi, makes a cameo appearance in the opening of the game. They can be seen only in the first match, where Mario and Luigi defeat Wario and Waluigi, and in the first blooper reel of the credits where Mario accidentally hits Luigi with a tennis ball. They are also seen on the left of the screen showing Wario and Waluigi, upset about their loss, when the camera zooms out to show the multiple scenes Bowser is spying on.

 

[[File:MTOBabyM.png|thumb|Profile artwork of Baby Mario from ''Mario Tennis Open'', reusing his artwork from ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]

Baby Mario is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''. This is Baby Mario's first unlockable appearance, and the player can unlock him by completing Level 3 of the Special Game, [[Super Mario Tennis]]. His insignia on his tennis racket is now updated and has an uppercase letter M like his adult self, but with bonnet frills around the letter M. As in all ''Mario Tennis'' games that he was previously playable in, he is a speed character, who lacks at reach due to his size, but makes up for increased stroke power. Baby Mario's racket costs 1200 coins in the Clubhouse for [[Mii]]s to be able to use.

 

Baby Mario appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Additionally, he has two [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]s in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Baby Mario also reappears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Baby Mario is a neutral-type Advanced class spirit who can be enhanced into Superstar Mario at Level 99. Superstar Mario is a Legend class spirit with a First-Strike Immunity special ability. In Baby Mario's spirit battle, the player must eliminate a tiny Mario who avoids conflict in the  [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Yoshi's Island]] stage; he is teamed up with a team of Yoshis who defend him. In addition, Baby Mario also appears in the [[Stork]] and [[Goo-Goo Buggy]] spirit alongside Baby Luigi in both cases.

 

[[File:BabyDD.png|thumb|left|Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are playable characters who are partnered together in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]

Baby Mario is a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. He and his default partner, Baby Luigi, are both starters of the light-weight class, and are paired by default. Baby Mario's default [[kart]] is the [[Goo-Goo Buggy]]. The babies' special item is a [[Chain Chomp]], which can lead Baby Mario and Baby Luigi through the course, knocking other karts out of the way. They share their own course, [[GCN Baby Park|Baby Park]], which reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (as DLC), ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi appear as staff ghosts in Baby Park and [[GCN Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]], though Baby Mario is the primary character in Baby Park.

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''====

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also make a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', with several notable characters. Here, they can be seen throughout [[Yoshi Park 1]] and have a [[Gallery:Sponsors in the Mario Kart series|sponsor]], Baby Land, seen throughout other courses.

Baby Mario is a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Baby Mario is one of the starters, though is still a small character, having a weight of +3 and a handling of +2. His weight bonus, with Baby Luigi, is the largest in the game out of all bonuses, and it grants him a significant edge when it comes to that stat. Unlike ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Baby Mario does not have his own vehicles, as the other characters, but the vehicles available to him get a different paint job than other characters. His vehicles are mainly blue and red. In Time Trials, Baby Mario appears as an official staff ghost in {{classic-link|N64|Mario Raceway}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}.

Baby Mario returns as a playable racer in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. His insignia is changed from being identical to Mario's in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to his insignia from ''Mario Tennis Open'', with the colors reversed from Mario's usual emblem. Baby Mario is a lightweight racer, potentially getting the best possible acceleration, handling, and traction with his vehicle combos; in fact, he, along with the other baby characters and [[Lemmy|Lemmy Koopa]], are the lightest characters in the game. His speed and weight are his weaknesses, being among the slowest and lightest characters in the game. Occasionally, if Baby Mario is a CPU, he uses the [[Biddybuggy]] body paired with [[Standard (tire)|Standard tires]]. In Time Trials, Nin★Rie uses Baby Mario as an official staff ghost in {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}} and Nin★Joost uses him in {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}.

Baby Mario returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. He now shares stats with Baby Luigi, [[Dry Bones]], and small [[Mii]]s and has two rivals for Grand Prix races, being [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Baby Peach]]. He is also the 200cc staff ghost for [[Water Park]] and the normal staff ghost for {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}.

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====

Baby Mario is a playable downloadable character in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. He is a lightweight character who has low speed and acceleration, but has very high handling, sharing these statistics with [[Baby Peach]] and [[King Boo]].

[[File:MKT Artwork BabyMarioKoala.png|thumb|130px|left|Baby Mario (Koala)]]Baby Mario appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as part of the base game's roster. He is classified as a Normal character, and his [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Boomerang Flower]]. A variant of Baby Mario in {{wp|koala}}-themed apparel, referred to as '''Baby Mario (Koala)''', appears as a High-End driver; introduced for the [[Sydney Tour (April–May 2021)|April–May 2021 Sydney Tour]], he has the [[Heart (item)|Heart]] as his special skill. The koala variant was also referenced in the official ''Mario Kart Tour'' social media post announcing [[Sydney Tour (September 2021)|the second Sydney Tour]].

The game considers Baby Mario to be an altogether separate character from his adult form: he is not an eligible driver to use for in-game challenges that require the player to perform certain actions as Mario in a race,<ref>{{cite|author=[[User:Koopa con Carne|Koopa con Carne]]|date=March 17, 2021|url=youtu.be/0F-qCfTJJYY|title=Baby Mario is not Mario (Gameplay footage showing that the counter of the "Activate Frenzy mode 10 times using Mario." 1.5 Year Anniversary challenge does not increase upon getting a [[Frenzy]] with Baby Mario in a race.|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 20, 2024}}</ref> unlike [[Metal Mario]], Mario (Racing) and the other variants of Mario.

Baby Mario is a protagonist in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. The game starts off with Kamek knocking Baby Mario off the Stork and taking Baby Luigi captive. The player has to guide Baby Mario to the ground using clouds and trapping enemies in [[bubble]]s. When he reaches the ground, a Yoshi is at the bottom, saving him when all his balloons pop, where they then pursue Kamek and his Toadies to rescue Baby Luigi. In this game, Baby Mario can also turn into Superstar Mario when a star is touched, allowing him to defeat any enemy by running into them and shoot an endless amount of stars at enemies. ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' is the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game where Baby Mario is more extensively voiced; other ''Yoshi's Island'' games have Baby Mario voice only the crying sound effect when he is trapped in a bubble.

===''Super Mario Stadium'' series===

Baby Mario is a playable character in the [[Super Mario Stadium (series)|''Super Mario Stadium'' series]]. He is a starter character in both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Baby Mario is a right handed pitcher and batter by default. He is a speed character having fast running average pitching but weak batting and fielding and he has the [[Wall Jump]] ability. In order for Baby Mario to become a superstar, he must complete his six missions, one which is unique to him. He has good [[chemistry]] with Baby Luigi and Yoshi and bad chemistry with [[Shy Guy]]. Baby Mario is a member of [[Yoshi Eggs (team)|Yoshi's team]] in each game's Challenge mode. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Baby Mario plays like [[Toadette]], both having [[Enlarge]] as their ability, but their only difference is their tackle.

In [[Mario Super Sluggers#Challenge Mode|Challenge Mode]] of ''Mario Super Sluggers'', the player learns that Baby Mario is trapped in the [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]] by [[Bowser Jr.]] after Baby Luigi is rescued. After Bowser Jr. is defeated, he is set free. Baby Mario then joins the player's team.

Baby Mario and his brother Baby Luigi, star alongside [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi first meet their adult selves in [[Hollijolli Village]] after the adult Mario brothers have been defeated by [[Shroob]]s. They then team up in order to save the Mushroom Kingdom from the Shroobs. Baby Mario spends much of the adventure riding Mario piggyback. He and Baby Luigi eventually acquire hammers in the [[Vim Factory]]. After traveling throughout the past, defeating enemies, and eventually rescuing Princess Peach, Baby Mario and company halt the Shroob invasion. Baby Mario, alongside any other character who has originated from the past, return back to their original time period. Prior to returning to the past, Baby Mario gives Mario his hammer as a good-bye gift.

In battle, Baby Mario battles identically to his brother, Baby Luigi. His default attack is jumping on foes, and, when Baby Mario acquires the hammer, can use a hammer to attack spiked foes. The player can time Baby Mario's attacks in order for him to do more damage. When Baby Mario is riding on Mario's back, he can engage in battle when the player presses the appropriate command button at the appropriate time. In piggyback mode, Mario takes all the damage for Baby Mario; when Mario faints, Baby Mario takes his place. If Baby Mario faints in battle, either Luigi or Baby Luigi holds him to avoid enemy attacks. If Baby Luigi faints, Baby Mario carries him; this hinders Baby Mario's dodging capabilities. Baby Mario has more attack and speed than Baby Luigi, but less HP and defense. Compared to his older self, Baby Mario has a lot more speed, being the fastest of the quartet, but lacks in all other traits, with low power and the lowest amount of HP and Stache points, and the worst defense.

Baby Mario acquires several overworld traits as he ventures through the game. When Baby Mario and Baby Luigi acquire hammers, they also learn to use the [[Baby Drill]], which lets them dig underground underneath obstacles; it can also be used to get [[Bean]]s. Mario and Luigi can [[Spin Jump]] into Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, causing the [[Baby Spin]], which allows Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to access areas that previous cannot be accessed with the Spin Jump. Mario and Luigi can also roll a [[Bro Ball|Bros. Ball]] into Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, turning them into [[Baby Cakes]]. This enables them to slip through wafer-thin areas that cannot be accessed using the Baby Drill. Baby Mario can also use the [[Baby Pump]] technique to put out fires and activate switches: similar to the form in the past games, Baby Luigi can hit him to make him spit water out.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====

Baby Mario makes a cameo in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' on one of Luigi's [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Cards]], alongside his brother and their adult counterparts.

===''WarioWare'' series===

In the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, Baby Mario appears riding on Yoshi's back in one of [[9-Volt]]'s [[microgame]]s, [[Yoshi (microgame)|Yoshi]], in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' He also appears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', where he must be saved from a bubble in the [[Yoshi's Island (microgame)|Yoshi's Island]] microgame. Baby Mario reappears in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' in the [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (microgame)| Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]] microgame, where he is on a blue Yoshi, and the two must escape from a Chomp Shark. His brother appears in the two-player version of the microgame on an orange Yoshi.

===''Super Mario Maker''===

A parameter file for [[Costume Mario]]s in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' references Baby Mario, among [[List of Super Mario Maker pre-release and unused content|other characters that do not have costumes]], but none of the unused costumes have graphics associated with them. However, in a later update, [[Costume Mario#139|a costume of Baby Mario]] has been added, basing off his appearance in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===

Baby Mario is a playable captain-type character in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. His general trait is his speed, where he is categorized with that type in baseball, tennis, soccer, and horse racing. Due to his speedy trait, Baby Mario can move around quickly and thus easily catch balls that are out of his reach in tennis and soccer, as well as quickly run around bases and in the outfield in baseball. In baseball, Baby Mario has mostly identical stats to Baby Luigi, barring his pitching type and his hand use, where he is a right-handed batter and a right-handed pitcher. Baby Mario's pitching types are Fastballs, Screwballs, Curveballs, and Sliders; in comparison to Baby Luigi, Baby Mario trades the Sinker for the Curveball ability. In normal stats, Baby Mario has a higher pitching velocity than Baby Luigi, meaning his pitch top speed is faster, but when Baby Luigi is a superstar character, he overtakes Baby Mario in terms of velocity. As all speed characters, however, Baby Mario has low stamina and tires out quickly, meaning the meter while pitching speeds up at a quicker rate than most characters. In soccer, Baby Mario has weaker shooting, power, stamina, and defense stats than his brother, Baby Luigi, but he has higher passing and finesse than Baby Luigi; they both share the same speed stats. In tennis, Baby Mario has very low reach due to his small size, meaning he has trouble hitting out of reach balls if his speed does not cover distance. Baby Mario offers the most power out of all speed characters on the flipside, meaning he can still hit fairly powerful shots back. In horse racing, Baby Mario has very similar stats to Baby Luigi: in comparison to Baby Luigi, Baby Mario trades off horse top speed for stamina, meaning his horses take more stamina to tire out at the cost of being slightly slower than Baby Luigi. In horse racing, the CPU Baby Mario uses the brown default technique horse. In Pro difficulty, the CPU Baby Mario equips his horse with the red Asian accessories.

In golf, Baby Mario's ball trajectory is straight, which is a change from his draw trajectory in his prior appearance in ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64. Additionally, Baby Mario's ball altitude is lower than Mario's altitude, another character who has a straight trajectory, meaning that Baby Mario's shots are less affected by wind than Mario's shots, but he has more trouble hitting balls to higher heights to avoid obstacles. Out of the characters with straight trajectories, Baby Mario has a lower drive than Mario, Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and Pink Gold Peach while hitting further than Peach's drive, at 207 yards, but offers more control and an increased sweet spot range. When Baby Mario is starred, he receives less impact penalty than both Mario and Yoshi due him having a lower drive.

[[File:BabyMarioEagle.png|thumb|left|Baby Mario scores an eagle.]]

If Baby Mario attains a par, he waves to the camera while running. If he attains a birdie, he recreates [[Mario]]'s birdie animation, but does not grab a [[Super Star]]. If he attains better than a birdie, he grabs a cluster of balloons and floats up in the air. If he attains a bogey, he sits on the ground, and if he attains worse than a bogey, gives up, or loses a hole, he sits on the ground again and bursts out crying in a big temper tantrum.

Baby Mario receives 5 [[amiibo]] cards from this game, part of the [[List of Mario Sports Superstars amiibo cards|series of cards]] that are released alongside this game. Only his golf and tennis cards reuse artwork; the rest of the sports feature Baby Mario in original poses. When players tap Baby Mario's amiibo cards in, they can unlock [[Super Mushroom]]-themed gear which Baby Mario can use.

===''Dr. Mario World''===

In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', Baby Mario appears as an unlockable playable character (referred to as '''Dr. Baby Mario'''). Dr. Baby Mario is available on September 5, 2019 alongside [[Baby Luigi|Dr. Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach|Dr. Baby Peach]], and [[Baby Daisy|Dr. Baby Daisy]].<ref>{{cite|author=Drmarioworld_EN|url=x.com/Drmarioworld_EN/status/1168456788129140736|title=Red: "Some doctors are making their debut on Sep 5 at 2 AM PT! The first one is...Dr. Baby Mario? What? A baby doctor? H-how is that even possible? What's next, his little brother? Please...go easy on me." #DrMarioWorld|publisher=Twitter|date=September 2, 2019|language=en|accessdate=June 20, 2024}}</ref> Dr. Baby Mario's skill changes random objects into [[exploder]]s in both stage and versus modes. Viruses are targeted first for being changed before certain other objects are targeted. Coins, capsules, objects that can eliminate viruses (e.g. [[Shell]]) and objects that cannot be eliminated (e.g. [[Empty Block]]) are unaffected. In stage mode, only one object is changed, while in versus mode, the amount of objects affected is different based on level where it is 2 at level one and 10 at the maximum level (1 and 9 respectively prior to season 7 in versus mode).

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

[[File:BabyMario TSMBM.png|thumb|x180px|Baby Mario in the ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''.]]

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Luigi]] has a flashback while looking down at a [[castle]] as he is being kidnapped by [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Snifit]]s. The castle resembles a toy castle that he, as Baby Luigi, built at a preschool. A bully kicks and destroys the castle, but Baby Mario jumps in, hits the bully, and holds the bully off.

===Merchandise===

[[File:FurtaSuperMarioCollection 3.jpg|thumb|left]]

Despite not appearing as often as other ''Super Mario'' characters, Baby Mario has received considerable merchandising, especially as mini figures and plush toys. Baby Mario has also been featured in several ''Mario Kart Wii'' pull-back karts and keychains along with [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]], and [[Baby Daisy]]. Baby Mario is also featured with Baby Luigi and Baby Peach as official San-ei plushies. Baby Mario is also in a set of mini 2 inch PVC figures. Most of his merchandise are Japan exclusives, but they are available in online retailers and in retailers with Japanese imports. The World of Nintendo line of Nintendo merchandise also contains a Baby Mario plush.

==General information==

===Personality===

 

 

Baby Mario has been portrayed by [[Charles Martinet]] ever since his appearance in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' which has been retained ever since then. He typically sounds upbeat and excited, not too different from his older self, albeit filtered to sound higher-pitched.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Eudb_Tqg8|title= The Voice of Mario - Charles Martinet Interview|publisher=YouTube|author=GamerSpawn|date=September 10, 2011|language=en|accessdate=June 20, 2024}}{{timestamp needed}}</ref>

|length1=0:02

|file2=VoiceBabyMarioGoalTop.oga

 

 

 

In the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga, Baby Mario has been depicted having large, round, featured eyes with a pupil instead of the simple, beady black eyes as in the games. In the ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''-themed story arcs, Baby Mario's clothes are shaded black to differentiate himself from Baby Luigi when his hat insignia and his head cannot be seen. He also has a full set of teeth in the manga rather than a single tooth in the games. In the English localization ''[[Super Mario Manga Mania]]'', Baby Mario and Baby Luigi talk in a choppy manner ("''"I protect princess!''"; "''Old me! Your chance... Attack monster!''").

 

 

 

 

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi share a special bond as twin brothers,<ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi Touch & Go'' instruction booklet|language=en-us|page=6|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> allowing Baby Mario to seek out his kidnapped brother with the help of the Yoshis during their debut appearance in ''Yoshi's Island''. They are default partners in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', and are often seen together, as evident in ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', the brothers fight side-by-side, and if one falls in battle, the other one will carry him and defend him from the enemies. They also partner up and share good chemistry in various sports and spin-off games. Baby Luigi's site bio for ''Mario Kart Wii'', however, heavily implies that Baby Mario has a sibling rivalry with Baby Luigi, which is parallel to Mario's competitive nature with Luigi. In the ''Super Mario-kun'' volumes, particularly the ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''-based ones, if Baby Luigi gets hurt, Baby Mario reacts furiously to the offenders and quickly retaliates by attacking them. Aside from his brother, Baby Mario is also good friends with Baby Peach, and protects her from their enemy, Baby Bowser.

 

 

|align=right

Baby Mario's profiles and statistics typically highlight his diminutive size and power correlation, in which his power varies from game to game. He is always a speedy character in all games he is playable in. Some bios, specifically his ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', and ''Mario Kart 8'' bios, lampshade how he and his adult self are playable at the same time.
