English instruction manual, page 8.</ref>) is the base form of the player character in the main ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. This form does not have any special abilities, and it also does not take any [[List of Power-Ups|power-ups]] to assume this form, unlike other forms. Small Mario, however, cannot break [[Brick Block]]s unlike Super Mario and any forms taking Super Mario's size. [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] turns into Small Mario when he is hit by an enemy or obstacle. Mario loses a life if he takes damage while in Small form. The player almost always starts the game off in this form; ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' are notable exceptions, as in these games, the player starts each life in Super form regardless of what form they took prior to losing a life. | ||
Being Small Mario can sometimes be useful; in some games, such as ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', there are small crevices that can be passed through easily with Small Mario. Additionally, Small Mario does not have to [[crouch|duck]] to avoid some obstacles, such as [[Bullet Bill]]s launched from [[Bill Blaster]]s higher than him. | Being Small Mario can sometimes be useful; in some games, such as ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', there are small crevices that can be passed through easily with Small Mario.

Small Mario first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike more modern appearances, starting with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Mario will not be turned into the form granted by a higher-tiered power-up (like a [[Fire Flower]]), but rather will only become [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. This behavior is the same in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and the original and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (this only applies to the Fire Flower and [[Super Leaf]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', though). | Small Mario first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.

In the original NES version, when characters are in their Small forms, only their lower halves shrink while their upper halves remain intact. In the ''All-Stars'' remaster and ''Super Mario Advance'', this was changed so that their entire bodies shrink. As a result, Peach is also affected, as her hair becomes shorter as she shrinks into her Small form, rather than remaining intact like in the original NES version. | In the original NES version, when characters are in their Small forms, only their lower halves shrink while their upper halves remain intact.

In international versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario now reverts to his Super form instead of his Small form if he takes damage in a second-tier form (e.g. Fire, [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]]). This also applies to almost all 2D ''Super Mario'' games after ''Super Mario World'' (including its remake, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''). However, in the Japanese version of the game, Mario still reverts back to his Small form regardless of what power-up he was using. This also applies when Mario has a [[Goomba's Shoe]]. | In international versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario now reverts to his Super form instead of his Small form if he takes damage in a second-tier form (e.g. Fire, [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]]).

As of ''[[Super Mario World]] | As of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', grabbing any higher-tiered power-up as Small Mario will bypass the Super form (e.g. grabbing a Fire Flower turns Small Mario right to [[Fire Mario]]). This property was also included in the GBA version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' (though it was formerly [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 glitches#Small to Fiery|a glitch]] in the original and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions of that game). | ||

[[ | Small forms are introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' for [[Rosalina]] and [[Captain Toad]]. The [[Toad Brigade]] also gain Small forms in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Toad]] can also become this form for the first time since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The form works as it does in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. As such, Peach and Rosalina's hair gets shorter (looking much like their [[Baby Peach|younger]] [[Baby Rosalina|counterparts]]), and the [[Toad (species)|Toads]]' cap colors are reversed, making the playable Toad's cap similar to that of a [[Mini Mushroom]]. | ||
In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign, Mario reverts to a giant version of his Small form upon taking damage twice consecutively from his [[Giga Cat Mario|Giga Cat form]] without touching another power-up item. Despite being much larger, this version of Small Mario is defeated if damaged by an attack from [[Fury Bowser]]. Out of [[Giga Bell]] fights, Small Mario can collect a [[Cat Shine]] to turn back into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. | In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign, Mario reverts to a giant version of his Small form upon taking damage twice consecutively from his [[Giga Cat Mario|Giga Cat form]] without touching another power-up item.

Characters return in their Small form after being defeated or falling in a hole or in lava (or if they are in their usual regular forms upon touching lava, they shrink in the bubble to their Small forms) even though they start the level in their regular forms, like how they did in earlier versions. However, in the Remix 10 mode, their form is determined based on whether Mario completed the fourth course while Small or Super, similar to ''Super Mario Advance''. For example, if Mario is Small when he completes the fourth course and switches to Peach, she starts off in her Small form, as opposed to her regular form. | Characters return in their Small form after being defeated or falling in a hole or in lava (or if they are in their usual regular forms upon touching lava, they shrink in the bubble to their Small forms) even though they start the level in their regular forms, like how they did in earlier versions.
