History

Yoshi series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

As mentioned before, Baby Mario's debut was in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Here, the Stork is on his way to deliver Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to the their parents in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, on the way, Kamek, an evil Magikoopa, kidnaps Baby Luigi and the Stork. Baby Mario falls into Yoshi's Island and lands on the back of a green Yoshi. Kamek has predicted that the Mario brothers will cause problems for the Koopas in the future and, as such, he attempts to kidnap the babies. The Yoshi brings Baby Mario to the other Yoshis, and they decide to help Baby Mario rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek and Baby Bowser. After trekking the six worlds, and defeating the eleven Bosses, they had finally reached Baby Bowser's Castle, where they battle him to a final showdown. But, after defeating him, Kamek used his power to make giant, even bigger than Yoshi's Island itself. After a long and grueling battle, Baby Bowser was defeated, and Baby Luigi was rescued. They were then taken to their parents, Papa and Mama Mario, and all was well.

Yoshi's Island DS

Baby Mario went through the same ordeal in Yoshi's Island DS. Kamek was kidnapping babies from all over the world, and managed to capture Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby Peach. However, the Stork arrived just in time, and managed to rescue Baby Mario and Baby Peach. Baby Mario dropped onto Yoshi's back... again, as Baby Peach dropped safely with her parasol. The Yoshi's then decided to go and rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek, but this time they have the Stork to help them. Each baby had a different power to help Yoshi. Baby Mario's was able to increase Yoshi's speed and break special "M" blocks. Along the way, he ended up joining forces with Baby DK, later Baby Wario and even Baby Bowser in order to rescue Baby Luigi. However, the last two left the group. Before Baby Bowser joined, it was revealed that this Kamek was from the future, and he came back in time with Bowser so that they can find the Star Children. The Star Children are seven babies with extraordinary powers. Yoshi and the babies managed to reach the Castle, where they met up with Baby Wario & Baby Bowser again. The two decide to join forces again, until the end of the level, where Baby Bowser betrays them. After beating him, Bowser appears to battle Yoshi and the babies. However, using Giant Eggs, Bowser was beaten as well. But, Kamek would not take loss as an option, and used his magic to turn Bowser giant. Now all four of the babies and four Yoshi's had to work together to defeat a gigantic Bowser. After a long battle, Bowser was beaten taken back to his own time, and everything was fine. Eventually, the seventh star child is revealed, Baby Yoshi.

Baby Mario and his Adult Counterpart.

Baby Mario, and his brother Baby Luigi, star alongside Mario and Luigi in "Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time". After Baby Mario protects Baby Peach from Baby Bowser, the Mushroom Kingdom is attacked by an evil alien race, known as the Shroobs. Although Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Bowser and Young Toadsworth escaped, the entire Mushroom Kingdom was in danger. Meanwhile, in the present day, E. Gadd has finished his latest invention, the Time Machine, which is powered by the Cobalt Star. Princess Peach decides to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom of the past. However, when the Time Machine returns, a monster called the Junior Shrooboid exits it, not Peach. Luckily, Peach is safe in the past. After beating the monstrosity, the group find out that the Time Machine created Time Holes, which lead straight back to the time period Peach is trapped in. Mario & Luigi end up going back in time, along with E. Gadd's talking suitcase, Stuffwell. They reach Hollijolli Village, which has been devastated by the Shroobs. They end up losing a battle to three Shroobs. Luckily, the Koopa Cruiser (which is where the Baby Mario Bros. are) is hovering above Hollijolli Village. Baby Bowser is convinced to rescue the village, due to Baby Peach's crying. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi end up rescuing their older selves, and the group team up at Baby Bowser's Castle. They soon realize that they must find the Cobalt Star Shards in order to rescue Peach, who has been captured by the Shroobs. They must find the Cobalt Star Shards, defeat Princess Shroob, and rescue Princess Peach. The Baby Mario Bros. ride on the adults' shoulders, and a baby takes over when one of the adults run out of HP. Luigi and the two babies often appear in the background doing humorous things (like running away from a Shroob) when Mario is talking to someone.

In the end, Bowser is beaten, the Shroobs are destroyed, and the Baby Mario Bros., Baby Peach, and Young Toadsworth go back to their original time period. Before going back, Baby Mario gives Mario his hammer as a gift.

Character Description

Personality

Baby Mario has been described as being mostly brave and courageous, such as when he constantly rescues Baby Luigi. However, his Super Smash Bros. Brawl describes him as a crybaby, and this is also true. Unlike his older self, Baby Mario is not a silent protagonist and is actually very talkative. Baby Mario is also very energetic, as seen as when he wins a race in Mario Kart Wii and he jumps up and down and squeals. He also seems to be very playful like when he joins his adult counterparts and his baby friends in kart and bike races, tennis games and baseball games. He is also shown to be very speedy due to the fact that he is a Speed or Lightweight character in every single Mario spin-off to date, and had a very high Speed stat as a playable character during Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.

Physical Description

Baby Mario has beady black eyes and his large trademark nose. He has a thin layer of brown hair always covered by his trademark "M" hat.

Like most of the babies, his outfit eventually changed. in earlier appearances, he wears nothing but a white diaper and his trademark hat. He wears a yellow cape whenever he acquires and uses a star. Later on, he was given a new outfit in Mario Golf, which he continues to wear in his spinoff appearances, sometimes with minor adjustments. In this design he wears a red shirt covered by blue overalls. Originally, the shirt was sleeveless, such as in Mario Tennis, but his shirt is currently long sleeve. He also wears a pair of light blue and white sneakers.

"The elder of the baby Mario Brothers. After arriving in a stork-related calamity, he and Yoshi rescued his little bro. Though he's supposed to be Mario in his youth, you can play as both of them at the same time for some reason. He has excellent foot speed but lacks power do to his diminutive size."
