Double Mario

Double Mario is a form of Mario obtained by consuming a Double Cherry.

Super Mario 3D World
Double Mario makes its first appearance in Super Mario 3D World. In this form, Mario gains a clone of himself who copies his movement. The player, as a result controls all the Marios simultaneously. The clone can be separated by ramps, ledges, and other obstacles. Double Mario can be stacked with other power-ups, allowing the clones to use whatever power the player currently is using. If the character or one of the clones gets a different power-up from the one they are using at the moment, all of them are affected. If Mario gets another Double Cherry in this form, more clones will be added, to a maximum of five clones per player. If a character Ground Pounds on another player's clone, then that clone will transform into that character's clone. The clone has no physical difference from the original unless the original is wearing a crown or a reserve item is used because it will come out in front of the main character.

Damage to a clone, falling down a pit or being offscreen for too long will make it disappear. There is no need to keep track of the original as the last clone standing after being attacked, regardless of the player's position, will end up being the original and will take normal damage from then on, thus the clones act as protection for the player. If one clone is trailing behind the farthest clone, it will speed up to reach the pack.

Bowser obtains this form as Meowser. Like the other character's doubles, his doubles have no physical difference between each other. However, Meowser's doubles move independently from one another.

The Double Mario power originated when a member of the Super Mario 3D World development team accidentally placed two player-controlled Marios in a level. When the supervisors saw this, they liked it and decided to keep it in the game.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Captain Toad and Toadette can use the Double Cherry to create duplicates of themselves, which function identically to how they do in Super Mario 3D World.
