Super Mario

From the Super Mario Wiki

This article's title might be represented alternatively as Super Mario or Super Luigi.

This article is about Mario's form after eating a Super Mushroom. For information about Mario as a character, see Mario. For for the Super Mario game in Super Mario All-Stars, see Super Mario Bros.. For Mario's Super Ability in Mario Strikers Charged, see Super Mario!.

Super Mario is a form of Mario which he assumes by eating a Super Mushroom. Depending on the game, Super Mario is about twice as tall as his non-powered up form, Small Mario. He is able to be hit by an enemy without immediately losing a life, instead he shrinks back to Small Mario.

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.

[edit] Television Series

The term Super Mario was used to define what is otherwise known as Fire Mario on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. However, this was dropped for The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which used the correct term.

[edit] Comics

Unlike the games, the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" depicts Super Mario as much taller than other humans, just like Mega Mario.
