Yōchien-jidai no Mario is the young version of Mario when he went to kindergarten. As such, he resembles a smaller version of Mario without a mustache, similar to Baby Mario but with visible sclera. He appears in the "Time Traveler" storyline of the Super Mario Kodansha manga.
After robbing Dr. Mario Nakamatsu's of his Time Machine, Bowser travels to Mario's childhood and approaches Yōchien-jidai no Mario. Promising him a lollipop, he asks him to act rude against Chibi Luigi and Chibi Peach. By doing so, the two will grow up resenting him, and Mario will have no friends in the present to help him against Bowser. Mario, Luigi, and Peach chase Bowser with the Time Machine prototype, and witness the event. As Yōchien-jidai no Mario goes to take his reward, Bowser prepares to hit him in the head, but Mario stops him and Bowser escapes, taking Chibi Peach with him.
In the last chapter, Mario uses the Time Machine to gather all of his versions from different ages, including Yōchien-jidai no Mario, to assist him in the final battle. Once Bowser and his robot palace are defeated, the Marios return to their respective era, including Yōchien-jidai no Mario, who takes Chibi Peach with him.
