| '''Mini Mario''' is the form that [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] takes upon collecting a [[Mini Mushroom]]. Occasionally, this transformation may also be brought about by using a [[Poison Mushroom]] or various other items. Some early appearances of Poison Mushrooms, such as in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']], result in a similar, temporary form. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]], and [[Toadette]] can also use this form. This transformation is similar to [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Tiny form]] and [[Tiny Kong]]'s [[Mini-Monkey]] ability. | |
|
| |
|
| Mario has been shrunk in other media, namely in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[The Incredible Shrinking Ape]]" and ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episodes "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]" and "[[All Steamed Up]]" as well as during the events of ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', though Mini Mario is considered a distinct entity from these occurrences.

| |
|
| ==History==
| | '''Mini Mario''' was a form [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] could become in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. It allowed them [[Flutter Jump|to jump higher]], and they could also fit through tiny [[Warp Pipe]]s. They could become this with a [[Mini Mushroom]].This form was just like [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Tiny Form]]. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Dottie]] could shrink Mario, [[Princess Peach]], Luigi, and [[Bowser]], giving them access to tiny pipes and so forth. Mini Mushrooms also turn a character mini in [[Mario Party 4]]. |
| ===''Mario Party 4''===
| |
| ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' introduces the Mini Mushroom to shrink players. While in their Mini form, the player can only roll a 1-5. The [[Super Mini Mushroom]] allows them to roll two 1-5 [[Dice Block]]s. Players who shrink themselves can also enter [[Gate (Mario Party 4)|Gates]], access different parts of a board, and play [[Minigame#Mini minigames|Mini Mini-Game]]s. In the [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]] board, if a mini player crosses Bowser, Bowser burns them and sends them to a special start in the board that is adjacent to two [[Bowser Space]]s and one [[Fortune Space]]. Bowser can also shrink players at a random turn in the board while preventing them from using items. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Pinball Land''===
| | In an episode of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' ([[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]) when [[Toad]] shrinks Mario and Luigi, [[Bowser|King Koopa]] calls them Mini Mario Brothers. |
| In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', Mario can buy a Mini Mushroom for ten coins. While mini, Mario can get into entrances like beehives and igloos that would normally be too small for Mario to enter to earn more [[Power Star]]s. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| | Mini Mario bfreifly appears in [[Mario Party 8]] when Mario eats a [[Weeglee Candy]]. |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| [[File:NSMB W2-Castle Exit Mini Mario.png|thumb|200px|Mini Mario exits [[World 2-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-Castle]], leading to [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] instead of the regular [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]] exit.]]
| |
| In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario becomes Mini Mario by eating a Mini Mushroom. While in this form, the player can [[jump]] higher, run on water, and fit through [[small pipe]]s. Mini Mario cannot duck, similar to Small Mario in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. [[Donut Block]]s will also not fall under Mini Mario's weight. However, enemies that Mario can defeat with a stomp at regular size take a Ground Pound to defeat as Mini Mario, as he merely bounces off if he jumps on them. He also cannot grab and hold anything in this form. As with [[Small Mario]], he loses a [[life]] if hit in this form, and can only get Super Mushrooms from blocks.
| |
|
| |
|
| In Mario vs. Luigi, Mini Mushrooms can spawn if a brother collects 8 [[Red Coin]]s. In addition to the above, fireballs in this mode instantly defeat Mini Mario and Mini Luigi if they are hit by one, rather than stunning them.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| | {{Marioforms}} |
| The Mini form also appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', retaining the effects from the previous game, except for the inability to pick up objects, thus making it possible to stomp on enemies without ground pounding if the player is holding a heavy object above their head. In this game, Mario gets a higher-pitched voice in his Mini form. He also gains the ability to duck.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| | [[Category:Forms]] |
| The Mini form also appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', along with the Mini Mushroom, having the same effects from the previous games. They only appear in [[World 3-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-B]], [[World 4-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-A]], [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-3]] and certain [[Toad House]]s.

| |
| The Mini form reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' with the same effects from the previous games. The form now has the ability to run up and down walls in a similar way to a [[Triangular Block]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| While Mini Mario does not appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as a usable form, knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style while in editor mode may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in this form.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
| |
| In the DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Mini Mushrooms appear in [[Polastraits]], [[Icepeak]], and [[Blizland]]. As Mini Mario, Mario is able to cross thin ice, as well as narrow spaces. While Mario can become Mini Mario, [[Sonic]] cannot.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Sports Mix''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Mini Mushrooms reappear as items. While mini, the player is not able to carry a basketball, hockey puck, or dodgeball. They also have the inability to spike in volleyball, or perform a defensive maneuver in dodgeball.

| |
| The Mini form appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. In this version, the Mini form shrinks the user to a much smaller size than in the games, and unlike the games, getting hit in this form reverts the user to normal size.
| |
| | |
| While battling [[Donkey Kong]] in the [[Great Ring of Kong]], [[Mario]] grabs a [[Mini Mushroom]] from a [[? Block]], mistakes it for a [[Super Mushroom]], eats it, and then charges at Donkey Kong. Mini Mario avoids Donkey Kong's punches and stomps, but is soon grabbed by him. Donkey Kong finger-flicks Mario, causing him to take damage and revert to his normal size upon hitting the ring's gate.
| |
| | |
| Much later on in the movie towards the end of the climax after [[Bowser]] is defeated, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] force-feeds him a Mini Mushroom, transforming him into Mini Bowser. In a mid-credits scene, Mini Bowser, imprisoned in a birdcage in [[Peach's Castle]], continues to sing "[[Peaches]]" loudly into the night, only to be interrupted by a Toad who informs him he is past his curfew.
