In earlier versions of ''Super Mario Run'' prior to the Fall 2017 update, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s were defeated in one hit and did not have Small forms to shrink into upon being hit by enemies (they instead remained in their normal usual forms after being defeated or falling in pits or lava) and therefore they had an advantage of being able to break Brick Blocks from the start, unlike Mario and Luigi, who usually need to be in their Super forms in order to do so. | |||
[[ | In versions since the Fall 2017 update, said characters and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] are given Small forms to shrink into when being hit, therefore letting them take one more hit before being defeated, thus making them more consistent with Mario and Luigi (though they still start each stage in Super form). As a result, said characters lose their advantage over Mario and Luigi and now require their normal usual forms to break Brick Blocks. | ||
