'''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 other various 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]]'', 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 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 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 ''[[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 [[small 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 Mario vs. Luigi, Mini Mushrooms can spawn if a brother collects 8 [[Red Coin]]s. Usually, when Mario or Luigi gets hit by fireballs, he gets stunned and loses a big star, but fireballs can instantly defeat Mini Mario and Mini Luigi in this mode.
