Interestingly, the term Super Mario is often used to refer to "normal" Mario without taking account of his actual form, when Small Mario would be more appropriate here. In fact, Mario always appears as Super Mario in the endings of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the opening movies created for ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' depict Mario and Luigi's Super forms as their standard forms, and the opening of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' depict Mario or Luigi starting out in their Super forms, only to revert to the Small form in time for the actual gameplay.
