Small Mario

Small Mario is Mario's weakest form. He doesn't have any special abilites, and it also does not take any Power-Ups to assume this form. Instead, Mario immediately turns into Small Mario when being hit by an enemy. Small Mario, as his name implies, is also the smallest form of Mario's; his actual size depends on the game. Usually, before being able to assume even stronger forms, Small Mario first must become Super Mario by eating a Super Mushroom. There are exceptions, however, such as the green ! Blocks in Super Mario World.
