Big Mario

This article needs Super Mario improvement. Specifically:

• Mechanics for pushing down Chain Chomp posts
• Is stomping blocks overwritten by the Goomba's Shoe?

Requested improvements must be clear, pertinent, and well-formed. Please refrain from adding bullet points such as "Add more information" or "Write the rest of the article".

Not to be confused with Mega Mario, Giant Mario, or Super Mario (form).

Big Mario is the form Mario takes after obtaining a Big Mushroom, appearing in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Big Mario is two blocks wide and two blocks tall, compared to Super Mario's size of one block wide and two blocks tall. Big Mario has the proportions of Small Mario. Big Mario increases Mario's ability to break blocks further than Super Mario, extending to ? Blocks, Empty Blocks, and Hard Blocks. Mario can only become Big Mario in courses that use the Super Mario Bros. game style.

In Super Mario Maker, a Big Mushroom appears after scanning 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo onto the Wii U GamePad's in the Course Maker. This can be done in courses that do not use the Super Mario Bros. style, but it changes the style of the course to Super Mario Bros. in the process. While the course's style can be changed after obtaining a Big Mushroom to put in the course, collecting a Big Mushroom in a course using a non-Super Mario Bros. game style only provides 1000 points.

Big Mario can break blocks by running or swimming into them with some speed as well as by jumping onto them from above. Breaking a block by landing on it lightly bounces Mario upward and resets his jumping state, such that he does not break another block when he lands from this bounce. Mario can still break blocks by jumping into them. Most enemies are defeated instantly by Big Mario stomping them. If Big Mario takes damage, he reverts to Small Mario. Big Mario does not change forms after collecting a Super Mushroom or a Weird Mushroom, but does change form if he collects any other power-up. Big Mario can destroy Chain Chomp posts by stomping over them with Goomba's shoe.

Big Mario has two different color schemes, one that uses the colors of Mario's normal sprite and a second that uses modern colors established in Super Mario Bros. 3. The color scheme Big Mario has depends on the type of Big Mushroom he collected, and the type of Big Mushroom that the player obtains from scanning a 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo is based on which version of the amiibo they scanned. The Big Mushroom from the Classic Colors amiibo causes Big Mario to have the first color scheme, and the Big Mushroom from the Modern Colors amiibo has the second color scheme. If Big Mario collects a Big Mushroom of the type that does not correspond to his current color scheme, he becomes Big Mario again but with the color scheme corresponding to that Big Mushroom.

Upon becoming Big Mario, several visual effects will change. Enemies will become Mario-themed, some wearing mustaches or Mario's cap, up to changing the appearance of other enemies altogether, such as Bullet Bills turning into miniature Luigis. The screen will also gain a filter that mimics the effect of a CRT television. These visual changes are purely aesthetic and do not alter gameplay.

In Super Mario Maker 2, Luigi, Toad, and Toadette can also use this form. The Big Mushoom is a standard power-up exclusive to the Super Mario Bros. game style, with no ties to amiibo. Only Big Mushrooms corresponding to the color scheme for modern colors appears, and none of the aesthetic effects from the previous game return. Big Mario now reverts to Super Mario if hit, rather than Small Mario. Unlike in the previous game, Big Mario cannot break blocks by running or swimming into them.

Notes

• The modern version of Big Mario is also used for the Mario Mystery Mushroom costume. However, the two are different in that the Costume Mario version is given its own unique sound effects.
• Many of the enemies affected by the Big Mushroom resemble those captured by Mario in Super Mario Odyssey.
  • Red Koopa Troopas resemble the red Roving Racer in their Big Mushroom form, and Bowser's appearance in the 8-bit section of the final boss sequence in Super Mario Odyssey also resembles his Big Mushroom form (though he does not have the cap in the latter).
