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. 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. | '''Small Mario''' (also referred to as '''Little Mario''',<ref>Tatsumi Yamashita, ''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide'', Tokuma Shoten, 1987, ISBN 999832369X.

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). | Small Mario first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.

Also, in this game, as well as ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' (where Mario can also be hurt by touching a [[Poison Mushroom]]), the Japanese 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. | Also, in this game, as well as ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' (where Mario can also be hurt by touching a [[Poison Mushroom]]), the Japanese 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. | ||

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 the GBA version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''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). | 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]]).

Small Mario can transform into Super Mario in this game by cutting the tape of a [[Midway Gate]]. This functionality was retained for [[Checkpoint Flag]]s in many later games, beginning with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. | Small Mario can transform into Super Mario in this game by cutting the tape of a [[Midway Gate]].
