'''Mini Mario''' is the form that [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] takes upon eating a [[Mini Mushroom]]. Occasionally, this transformation may also be brought about by using a [[Poison Mushroom]], or other various items. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] can use this form too. 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 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 the Mini Mario form is considered a distinct entity from these occurrences.

''[[Mario Party 4]]'' introduces the Mini Mushroom, and is thus the debut of Mini Mario as a power-up form. While in their mini form, the player can only roll a 1-5. The [[Super Mini Mushroom]] can also transform a player into their mini form, and allows them to roll two 1-5 dice blocks. 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 ''[[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 to small for Mario to enter to earn more [[Power Star]]s.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario once again becomes Mini Mario by eating a Mini Mushroom. While in this form, the player can [[jump]] higher, run on water, and fit through [[Mini Warp Pipe]]s. [[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 in this form, as Mini Mario merely bounces off of them if he just 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 this game, Mini Mario cannot duck, which may refer to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where Small Mario could not duck.

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.

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]], and certain [[Toad House]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

The mini form reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' 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]].

 

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'' theme while in editor mode may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in this form.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe ''====

This item returns once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', behaving the same way as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.

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 the Hedgehog|Sonic]] cannot.
