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 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. | Baby Mario is a protagonist in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''.

Baby Mario is a playable character in the [[ | Baby Mario is a playable character in the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' 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 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. | In battle, Baby Mario battles identically to his brother, Baby Luigi.

Mario and Luigi can also roll a [[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. | ||

Baby Mario is also very playful when he joins his adult counterparts and his baby companions in kart races, tennis games, and baseball games. ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' also shows that he is rather impulsive, and Baby Mario's brash use of his hammer has gotten him and the others in trouble multiple times throughout the game. | ||
In the ''[[Super Mario- | In the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' volumes that are adapted from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Baby Mario is able to speak in full sentences. As in the games, he is shown to be brave and willing to do whatever it takes to overcome the enemy; an example of this is when he deliberately fills himself up with an excess amount of water to stop Kamek's large wildfire. Similarly to his brother, he is naive, and he and his brother undertake some actions that annoy their older selves, such as making food out of sand when their older selves need real food. | ||

In his appearances in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, as well as any media relating to ''Yoshi's Island'', Baby Mario wears simply a white diaper and his hat. He wears a yellow cape whenever he acquires a [[Super Star]] and turns into [[Superstar Mario]]. Starting with ''Mario Golf'', Baby Mario wears an outfit designed after his adult self, [[Mario]] which he continues to wear in his spin-off appearances, sometimes with minor adjustments. Originally, the red shirt is short-sleeved during the Nintendo 64 era, but his shirt is currently long sleeved as his adult self as of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. He also wears a pair of light blue and white sneakers; in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Baby Mario has been erroneously depicted with red shoes in his solo artwork, as Baby Mario wears light blue shoes in other artwork for the game. In art for ''Yoshi's Island'' games and in Nintendo 64 games, Baby Mario's sideburns are pointed (but with still a notch to suggest adult Mario's sideburns; the Nintendo 64 art lacks the notch), but his sideburns in most other games are rounded as adult Mario's sideburns. | In his appearances in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, as well as any media relating to ''Yoshi's Island'', Baby Mario wears simply a white diaper and his hat.

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!''"). | ||
