'''Baby Mario''' (originally "'''baby Mario'''") is the infant form of [[Mario]] who appears as a major character in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. Baby Mario, with [[Yoshi]] helping him, is often rescuing his younger brother, [[Baby Luigi]], who is carried off by [[Kamek]] in several games. Since then, he has appeared in three other games in the ''Yoshi'' series and alongside his older self in several sports spin-off games. Despite being a baby, he is capable of playing various sports ([[Mario Golf (series)|golf]], [[Mario Tennis (series)|tennis]], [[Mario Baseball (series)|baseball]] and [[Mario Sports Superstars|others]]), [[Mario Kart (series)|driving]] [[kart]]s, and even [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|battling enemies]].

Adult Mario has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]" and the comic "[[Family Album "The Early Years"|Family Album 'The Early Years']]," though Baby Mario is considered a distinct entity from these forms.

Baby Mario makes his debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and plays the same role in the remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''). Here, the [[Stork]] is on his way to deliver Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to their parents in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Kamek]], however, has predicted that the Mario Brothers will cause problems for the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s in the future, and he attempts to kidnap the babies. He successfully kidnaps [[Baby Luigi]] and the Stork, while Baby Mario falls into [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] and lands on the back of [[Yoshi]]. Yoshi brings Baby Mario to the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and they decide to help Baby Mario rescue Baby Luigi from Kamek and [[Baby Bowser]]. After they journey throughout the worlds, they reach [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Baby Bowser's Castle]], where they battle Baby Bowser. After defeating him, Yoshi and Baby Mario rescue Baby Luigi. Then, the brothers are brought back to their parents.

Baby Mario appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. The game starts off with Kamek knocking Baby Mario off the Stork and taking Baby Luigi captive. The player has to guide Baby Mario to the ground using clouds and trapping enemies in [[bubble]]s. When he reaches the ground, a Yoshi is at the bottom, saving him when all his balloons pop, where they then pursue Kamek and his Toadies to rescue Baby Luigi. In this game, Baby Mario can also turn into Superstar Mario when a star is touched, allowing him to defeat any enemy by running into them and shoot an endless amount of stars at enemies. ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' is the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game where Baby Mario is more extensively voiced; other ''Yoshi's Island'' games have Baby Mario voice only the crying sound effect when he is trapped in a bubble.

Baby Mario is seen on the cover of volume 40, which is based off of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', though he himself does not appear in the story arcs in this volume; the cover for volume 40 is a tribute to the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

Baby Mario does not physically appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. According to Japanese script, however, he is briefly referenced when [[Wizakoopa|Magikoopa]] (Wizakoopa in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|''Super Mario RPG'' for the Nintendo Switch]] remake) appears to recognize Mario as the baby from the past.

Baby Mario appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', his first time as an unlockable character. He is unlocked by completing Level 3 of the Special Game, [[Super Mario Tennis]]. His insignia on his tennis racket is now updated and has an uppercase letter M like his adult self, but with bonnet frills around the letter M. As in all ''Mario Tennis'' games that he was previously playable in, he is a speed character, who lacks at reach due to his size, but makes up for increased stroke power. Baby Mario's racket costs 1200 coins in the Clubhouse for [[Mii]]s to be able to use.

Baby Mario has beady black eyes and his large trademark nose. Baby Mario has a layer of brown hair always covered by his trademark 'M' hat. Like most of the babies, his outfit eventually changed. Unlike his adult self, he has bare hands and wears short-leg overalls.

In his appearances in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, as well as any media relating to ''Yoshi's Island'', Baby Mario wears simply a white diaper and his hat. He wears a yellow cape whenever he acquires a [[Super Star]] and turns into [[Superstar Mario]]. Starting with ''Mario Golf'', Baby Mario wears an outfit designed after his adult self, [[Mario]] which he continues to wear in his spin-off appearances, sometimes with minor adjustments. Originally, the red shirt is short-sleeved during the Nintendo 64 era, but his shirt is currently long sleeved as his adult self as of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. He also wears a pair of light blue and white sneakers; in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Baby Mario has been erroneously depicted with red shoes in his solo artwork, as Baby Mario wears light blue shoes in other artwork for the game. In art for ''Yoshi's Island'' games and in Nintendo 64 games, Baby Mario's sideburns are pointed (but with still a notch to suggest adult Mario's sideburns; the Nintendo 64 art lacks the notch), but his sideburns in most other games are rounded as adult Mario's sideburns.

His facial features in the Nintendo 64 era are noticeably different than his current look; more notably, his sideburns were originally pointed. His modern design's sideburns more closely resembles Mario's sideburns, while Baby Luigi appears to have the sharp sideburns instead. His emblem was originally a lowercase M in ''Mario Tennis'', but ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and subsequent games changed his emblem to an uppercase M as his adult self, until ''Mario Tennis Open'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', where the upper case M is surrounded by frills.


In the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' manga, Baby Mario has been depicted having large, round, featured eyes with a pupil instead of the simple, beady black eyes as in the games. In the ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''-themed story arcs, Baby Mario's clothes are shaded black to differentiate himself from Baby Luigi when his hat insignia and his head cannot be seen. He also has a full set of teeth in the manga rather than a single tooth in the games. In the English localization ''[[Super Mario Manga Mania]]'', Baby Mario and Baby Luigi talk in a choppy manner ("''"I protect princess!''"; "''Old me! Your chance... Attack monster!''").
