'''Small Mario''' (also referred to as '''Little Mario''',<ref>{{cite|author=Yamashita, Tatsumi|title=''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=999832369X|page=29}}</ref> '''Regular Mario''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' Prima Games guide|page=8|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=1999|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2190-9}}</ref> '''Mini Mario''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Mania]]''|page=47|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=August 1991}}</ref> or simply '''Mario'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=8|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1985}}</ref>) is the base form of the player character in the 2D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, along with ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. This form does not have any special abilities, and it also does not take any [[List of Power-Ups|power-ups]] to assume this form, unlike other forms. Small Mario, however, cannot break [[Brick Block]]s unlike Super Mario and any forms taking Super Mario's size. [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] turns into Small Mario when he is hit by an enemy or obstacle. Mario loses a life if he takes damage while in Small form. The player almost always starts the game off in this form; ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''Super Mario 3D Land'', ''Super Mario 3D World'', and ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' are notable exceptions, as in these games, the player starts each life in Super form regardless of what form they took prior to losing a life.


Being Small Mario can sometimes be useful; in some games, such as ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', there are small crevices that can be passed through easily with Small Mario. Additionally, Small Mario does not have to [[crouch|duck]] to avoid some obstacles, such as [[Bullet Bill]]s launched from [[Bill Blaster]]s higher than him.
'''Small Mario''' (formerly referred to as '''Regular Mario'''<ref>''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' [[Prima Games]] guide, page 8.</ref> or just simply '''Mario'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction manual, page 8.</ref>) is the weakest form of the player character in the main ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. This form does not have any special abilities, and it also does not take any [[List of Power-Ups|power-ups]] to assume this form, unlike other forms. [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] turns into Small Mario when he is hit by an enemy or obstacle. The player almost always starts the game off in this form (''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' are notable exceptions).
 
Any damage taken in Small form will cause Mario to lose a life. Usually, before being able to assume even stronger forms, Small Mario first must become Super Mario by eating a [[Super Mushroom]]. Being Small Mario can sometimes be useful; in some games, such as ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', there are small crevices that can be passed through easily with Small Mario.
 
==History==
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMB Smallmario.png|frame|left]]
[[File:SMB Smallmario.png|frame|left]]
Small Mario first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike more modern appearances, starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario will not be turned into the form granted by a higher-tiered power-up (like a [[Fire Flower]]), but rather will only become [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. This behavior is the same in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and the original and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (this only applies to the Fire Flower and [[Super Leaf]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', though). In this game, as well as ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' (where Mario can also be hurt by touching a [[Poison Mushroom]]), the Family Computer version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and the original version of ''Super Mario World'', taking damage as [[Fire Mario]] (or any other higher-tiered form in the latter two games) immediately shrinks Mario down to his Small form.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', and the original and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', if Small Mario gets a higher-tiered power-up (like a [[Fire Flower]]), the power-up turns him only into Super Mario, but as of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', this was changed so that, for example, grabbing a Fire Flower turns Small Mario right to [[Fire Mario]]. Also, in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', and the original version of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', taking damage as Fire Mario (or [[Cape Mario]] in the latter game) immediately shrinks Mario down to his Small form.
 
Due to certain glitches in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', it is possible to turn into Fire Mario while remaining Small.
 
====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] start out each life in Super form (at the start of each level, they only have two hit points; they start with the current maximum hit points full after defeat), regardless of what their form was upon defeat or exiting the previous level. They become Small if they only have one hit point left. By finding the two [[Mushroom]]s hidden in [[Subspace]], the characters can extend their maximum hit points to four; also, upon the Mushroom's collection, the character always regains full health. When characters are in their Small forms, only their lower halves shrink while their upper halves remain intact. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' remaster and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', this was changed so that their entire bodies shrink. Peach is also affected, as her hair becomes shorter as she shrinks into her Small form, rather than remaining intact like in the original version.


In ''Super Mario Advance'', the Small form persists between levels (unless the player finished the previous level in their Super form, in which case it transfers to that level for that life only, even if the player switches characters), the characters start the game and each life in their Small forms with only one hit point remaining (of the current maximum), rather than their Super forms, and the maximum hit points per level is five, due to an added Mushroom per level.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Super or Fire Mario can also become Small Mario by touching a [[Poison Mushroom]].  
Additionally, selecting "Try Again" from the Pause Menu reverts the player to their Small form, regardless of the form they entered the level with.
This form also appears in most other 2D ''Super Mario'' games with the same effects.


====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] start out each life in Super form (at the start of each level, they only have two hit points; they start with the current maximum hit points full after defeat), regardless of what their form was upon defeat or exiting the previous level. They become small if they only have one hit point left. By finding the two [[Mushroom]]s hidden in [[Subspace]], the characters can extend their maximum hit points to four; also, upon the Mushroom's collection, the character always regains full health.  
In international versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario now reverts to his Super form instead of his Small form if he takes damage in a second-tier form (e.g. Fire, [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]]). This also applies to almost all 2D ''Super Mario'' games after ''Super Mario World'' (including its remake, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''). In the original Japanese release, Mario still reverts back to his Small form regardless of what power-up he was using, which also applies while he has a [[Goomba's Shoe]].


In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the original damage system is one of the effects that the [[Teki Power Up! Tokuten x2!!|red switch card]] has on the game, but not in international releases.
In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', however, the Small form persists between levels (unless the player finished the previous level in their Super form, in which case it transfers to that level for that life only, even if the player switches characters), the characters start the game and each life in their Small forms with only one hit point remaining (of the current maximum), rather than their Super forms, and the maximum hit points per level is five, due to an added Mushroom per level. In the original NES version, when characters are in their Small forms, only their lower halves shrink while their upper halves remain intact. In the ''All-Stars'' remaster and ''Super Mario Advance'', this was changed so that their entire bodies shrink. As a result, Peach is also affected, as her hair becomes shorter as she shrinks into her Small form, rather than remaining intact like in the original NES version.


====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s to be saved in the levels become '''Small Toads''' after being hit once by enemies.
As of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', grabbing any higher-tiered power-up as Small Mario will bypass the Super form (e.g. grabbing a Fire Flower turns Small Mario right to [[Fire Mario]]). This property was also included in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' (though it was formerly [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 glitches#Small to Fiery|a glitch]] in the original and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions of that game). Small Mario can transform into Super Mario in this game by cutting the tape of a [[Midway Gate]], a functionality that was retained for [[Checkpoint Flag]]s in many later games, beginning with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[Bowser]] is turned small in the ending of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', possibly as a side effect of using the power of the [[Grand Star]]'s to make himself giant. When in this form, he could be jumped on by [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]], and could be hit by Yoshi's tongue.
''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' marks the first appearance of the form since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. It also features an even smaller form, [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]].
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s to be saved in the levels become '''Small Toads''' after being hit once by enemies; if brought to the [[Goal Pole|Flagpole]] in this state, they will only give Mario one extra life, rather than three.
 
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:Small Mario SM3DL.png|thumb|left|Small Mario in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
[[File:Small Mario SM3DL.png|thumb|left|Small Mario in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Small Mario makes its 3D ''Super Mario'' debut, as previous 3D ''Super Mario'' games had a [[Health Meter|health meter]]. In this form, Mario and Luigi lose [[Mario Cap|their]] [[Luigi Cap|caps]], making this form similar to [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Small form]], as seen in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' (though if the player collects the maximum amount of lives [1,110 lives], they lose their caps in Super form instead). Their voices are also higher-pitched. However, like in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario and Luigi start out each life in their Super forms.

In this form, Mario and Luigi lose [[Mario Cap|their]] [[Luigi Cap|caps]], making this form similar to [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Small form]], as seen in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' (unless the player collects the maximum amount of lives (1,110 lives), which has Super Mario/Luigi lose the cap instead). Their voices are also higher-pitched. However, like in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Mario and Luigi start out each life in their Super forms. Additionally, in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Peach, Toad, [[Rosalina]], and [[Captain Toad]] can also get affected by this transformation, which works as it does in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. As such, Peach and Rosalina's hair gets shorter (like in the remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''), and the Toads' cap colors are reversed.


====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
===''Paper Mario'' series===
Small forms are introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' for [[Rosalina]] and [[Captain Toad]]. [[Hint Toad]], [[Banktoad]], and [[Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade)|Yellow Toad]] also gain Small forms in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Toad]] can also become this form for the first time since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The form works as it does in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. As such, Peach and Rosalina's hair gets shorter (looking much like their [[Baby Peach|younger]] [[Baby Rosalina|counterparts]]), and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]]' cap colors are reversed, making the playable Toad's cap similar to that of a [[Mini Mushroom]].
A similar form known as the [[Tiny (status effect)|Tiny]] status effect appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This state can inflicted by [[Hammer Bro]]s. in ''Paper Mario'' and [[X-Naut PhD]]s and [[Bonetail]] in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', or given to enemies by using a [[Shrink Stomp]] badge in both games, a [[Mini Mr. Mini]], or [[Mini-Yoshi]]'s [[Mini-Egg]] in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.


In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign, Mario reverts to a giant version of his Small form upon taking damage twice consecutively from his [[Giga Cat Mario|Giga Cat form]] without touching another power-up item. Despite being much larger, this version of Small Mario is defeated if damaged by an attack from [[Fury Bowser]]. Out of [[Giga Bell]] fights, Small Mario can collect a [[Cat Shine]] to turn back into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]].
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Captain Toad and [[Toadette]]'s Small forms appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', retaining the features from ''Super Mario 3D World'' (including the reversal of cap colors and higher-pitched voices). However, as in the original and ''All-Stars'' versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', the Small form does not persist between levels; every level is started in Super form, regardless of what form the previous level was finished in.


Additionally, ''Super Mario Bros.''-styled Small Luigis appear in some [[List of Luigi sightings in Super Mario 3D World|Luigi sightings]], in addition to being the icon for ''[[Mario Bros. (game)#Luigi Bros.|Luigi Bros.]]''
===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[File:MarioDoubleBogey.png|thumb|left|Double bogey animation from ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''.]]
When Mario gets a [[Bogeys|Double Bogey]] or below in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' as well in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', his animation depicts him getting hit by a shell, which turns him into Small Mario.


====''Super Mario Run''====
===''Super Mario Run''===
In versions of ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' prior to Version 3.0.4., only Mario and Luigi can shrink into their Small forms, thus [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and [[Yoshi|the]] [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s are defeated in one hit and therefore do not have their Small forms. In versions since Version 3.0.4., all the characters (including then-added [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]) are now given Small forms, therefore letting them take one more hit before being defeated. As a result, the characters lose their advantage over Mario and Luigi and require their regular forms to break Brick Blocks, although they still start the level in their regular forms as they did in prior versions, unlike Mario and Luigi.
In versions of ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' prior to the Fall 2017 update, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and [[Yoshi]] are defeated in one hit and therefore do not have Small forms to shrink into. In versions since the Fall 2017 update, they are now given Small forms, therefore letting them take one more hit before being defeated. As a result, the characters lose their advantage over Mario and Luigi and require their regular forms to break Brick Blocks, although they still start the level in their regular forms as they did in prior versions, unlike Mario and Luigi.


Characters return in their Small form after being defeated or falling in a hole or in lava (or if they are in their usual regular forms upon touching lava, they shrink in the bubble to their Small forms) even though they start the level in their regular forms, like how they did in earlier versions. However, in the Remix 10 mode, their form is determined based on whether Mario completed the fourth course while Small or Super, similar to ''Super Mario Advance''. For example, if Mario is Small when he completes the fourth course and switches to Peach, she starts off in her Small form, as opposed to her regular form.

For example, if Mario is Small when he completes the fourth course and switches to Peach, she starts off in her Small form, as opposed to her regular form.


As in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s remakes and ''Super Mario 3D World'', Peach's hair gets shorter when she shrinks into her Small form. Daisy's hair becomes slightly shorter as well while still retaining the flip at the ends.
As in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s remakes and ''Super Mario 3D World'', Peach's hair gets shorter when she shrinks into her Small form.  
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' once again features the Small form, acting as it did in prior 2D ''Super Mario'' games. This is the first game since the original version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' to not shorten Peach's (nor Daisy's) hair in this form.
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour'' / ''Mario Sports Superstars''===
[[File:MarioDoubleBogey.png|thumb|left|Double bogey animation from ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''.]]
When Mario gets a [[Bogeys|Double Bogey]] or below in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', his animation depicts him getting hit by a shell, which turns him into Small Mario.
 
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Captain Toad and [[Toadette]]'s Small forms appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', retaining the features from ''Super Mario 3D World'' (including Captain Toad's reversed cap colors and their higher-pitched voices); Toadette's cap instead turns light pink with magenta spots. However, as in the original and ''All-Stars'' versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', the Small form does not persist between levels; every level is started in Super form, regardless of what form the previous level was finished in.
 
===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
[[File:PDSMBE-SmallMario.png|thumb|Small Mario, as seen in ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''.]]
Small Mario appears in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as the player's starting form, available at the beginning of the game. The player must play as either Small Mario or Small Luigi until clearing the tower in [[World 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 1]], at which point Super Mario and Super Luigi become available as playable characters. Most characters attribute a pair of elements, while Small Mario only attributes the fire element.

==Development==
==Development==
When developing ''Super Mario Bros.'', players were originally supposed to start as Super Mario. However, because of the way the camera was zoomed in during development, it made seeing around Mario difficult. After pulling the camera away, Mario appeared smaller, at which point [[Toshihiko Nakago]] suggested they make Mario smaller instead of pulling the camera away. The team then decided that Super Mario would shrink into Small Mario if he touches an enemy, but if Small Mario touches an enemy, he will be defeated instead.

When asked if [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] considered letting the players start as Super Mario rather than Small Mario, he responded with "Starting with the small Mario would make players happier when Mario got big later, and it would also give a better impression to players."<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20161111054427/http://www.nintendo.com/nes-classic/super-mario-bros-and-super-mario-bros-3-developer-interview|title=Developer Interview: Super Mario Bros. – Nintendo Entertainment System|publisher=NES Classic Edition – Official Site|language=en-us|accessdate=May 17, 2018}}</ref>
