'''Mini Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] 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]]'', the two [[Toad]]s ([[Blue Toad (character)|Blue]] and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Yellow]]) are capable of becoming mini versions of themselves as well. This transformation is similar to [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Tiny Form]].
'''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==
===''Mario Party'' series===
Several [[minigame]]s throughout the ''Mario Party'' series feature Mario and company shrunk to a small size. In fact, the plot of ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' revolves around the playable characters being shrunk. In one minigame, for instance, in [[Crate and Peril]], three characters are sucked and shrunk into a box while the solo player attempts to eliminate them by tilting the box and sliding [[Spiny Shell]]s.


==History==
''[[Mario Party 4]]'' debuts the Mini Mushroom, and is thus the introduction of Mini Mario as a power-up form. While in his or her mini form, the player can only roll a 1-5. There is also another item that can transform the player into their mini form: the [[Super Mini Mushroom]], which allows the player to roll two 1-5 dice blocks. Players who shrink themselves can also enter [[Gate (Mario Party 4)|Gates]] and play [[Mini Mini-Game]]s or land on certain spaces.
===''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 [[tiny pipe]]s, 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 & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]===
[[Image:MLSSMiniMario.png|frame|left|Mini-Mario in [[Woohoo Hooniversity]].]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', '''Mini-Mario''' is a Bros. Action taught to Luigi in [[Chateau de Chucklehuck]]. It involves Luigi standing behind Mario and hitting him with a [[hammer]]. Mario then shrinks to about half of his normal size, allowing him to fit through gaps normally inaccessible. In addition, when Mario is in [[Beanbean Castle Town]], a small exclamation mark will appear over his head whenever he draws near an area of ground where a [[Beanstone]] is located. If the game is being played on the [[Game Boy Player]], the controller will react. A larger exclamation mark appears if Mario is directly above a Beanstone. In order for him to be restored to his normal size, Mario must either be hit by Luigi's hammer or enter battle. If Luigi attempts to [[High Jump]] onto Mini-Mario, and if Mario jumps when Luigi is directly above him, he earns a [[coin]] every time Luigi is hit. However, every time Luigi is hit, he loses 1 [[Heart Point|HP]]; if his HP is at 1 when Mario jumps on him, nothing happens.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi Partners in Time]]'', [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] are small enough to go through holes the Mario brothers cannot fit in, which are about the same size as the ones Mini-Mario can go through.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', once Mario and Luigi obtain the hammers, Luigi can hammer Mario to shrink him down to a small size just like in ''Superstar Saga''. This ability is used for the same reasons as in the previous game.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the transformation is called '''Small Mario''', not to be confused with [[Small Mario|the transformation of the same name]]. Mario becomes Small Mario if Luigi hammers Mario on a hard surface (on a soft surface, Mario becomes '''Mole Mario''' instead).


===''Mario Pinball Land''===
===''Mario Pinball Land''===
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.

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, jump on enemies without [[Stomp|stomping]] them, and also fit through tiny [[Warp Pipe]]s. Additionally, enemies that Mario can defeat with a stomp at regular height take a Ground Pound to defeat while he is Mini Mario. If damage is taken when in this form, instead of reverting back to [[Small Mario|regular-sized Mario]], Mario loses a [[life]]. In this game, Mini Mario cannot duck, which may be a reference to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where [[Small Mario]] could not duck. Mini Mario also cannot grab and hold anything in this game.

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.

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 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]].

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.

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.
