“Wait! Mario always shows up about now to ruin the fun. We've got to take that into consideration, you know. Someone go and get the Mario doll.”
Booster, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

A Mario doll is a Mario toy that appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

One Mario doll is owned by Gaz, the son of the Rose Town innkeeper. He uses the doll to recreate many of Mario's adventures. When the real Mario arrives and plays with him, Gaz decides to be Mario while Mario has to use the Bowser doll. During the pretend battle, "Mario" loses to "Bowser." As such, Gaz brings out his favorite doll, Geno, to challenge the Bowser doll.

Another Mario doll belongs to Booster. Booster uses the doll (along with a Peach doll) to plan out his wedding. Booster believes that his wedding would not be complete without Mario attempting to ruin the whole affair. Thus, Booster and his Snifsters look for his Mario doll, but they cannot find it. Booster then orders the Snifsters to look behind the curtains (where the real Mario is hiding). Mario evades being caught when Booster realizes his Mario doll is on a ledge above the curtains. However, he cannot reach the doll for it is too high up. The real Mario decides to help and uses his impressive jumping ability to knock the doll down. As a result, Booster thanks Mario for his generosity and gives him Booster's Charm.

A third Mario doll can be seen when Bowser is equipped with the Hurly Glove. Bowser attacks by picking up Mario and throwing him at an enemy, with a Mario doll standing in Mario's place for the duration of the attack. Additionally, if Mario has a status ailment, Bowser throws the doll instead of the afflicted Mario.
