Hoppycat Mario is one of the forms Mario takes under the Wonder Flower's Wonder Effects in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. While in this form, the character is transformed into a Hoppycat, except they start out larger than a regular enemy Hoppycat (boasting four spikes instead of three). Additionally, their jump height is significantly increased (much like the expert Hoppycat), and they are able to defeat enemies from below. If they take damage, they shrink to the size of a normal Hoppycat; this small form is used for all Hoppycat standees. The form appears in three full levels: The Midway Trial: Hop to It, The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory, and The Final Trial: Zip Track Dash.

Hoppycat Mario and Luigi are colored red and green, respectively, and have blue rims and retain the emblems of their hats in front of them. Peach and Daisy are colored pink and orange, respectively, and have larger pupils and retain their crowns on the largest spike. Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and Toadette have a color scheme similar to their mushroom caps. The Yoshis have their standard colors with white markings resembling their cheeks on both sides and spikes colored orange like their spines. The rims share the color of their respective shoes. Nabbit is colored purple with a gray rim and retains his ears.
