{{about|the transformation of Mario after he collects a [[Mini Mushroom]]|the toy from the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong series]]|[[Mini Mario (toy)]]}}

'''Mini Mario''' is the form that [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] takes upon collecting a [[Mini Mushroom]]. Occasionally, this transformation may also be brought about by using a [[Poison Mushroom]], or other various items. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] can use this form too. This transformation is similar to [[Wario]]'s [[Tiny Wario|Tiny form]] and [[Tiny Kong]]'s [[Mini-Monkey]] ability.

Mario has been shrunk in other media, namely in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episodes [[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]] and [[All Steamed Up]] as well as during the events of ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', though the Mini Mario form is considered a distinct entity from these occurrences.

''[[Mario Party 4]]'' introduces the Mini Mushroom, and is thus the debut of Mini Mario as a power-up form. While in their Mini form, the player can only roll a 1-5. The [[Super Mini Mushroom]] can also transform a player into their Mini form, and allows them to roll two 1-5 [[Dice Block]]s. Players who shrink themselves can also enter [[Gate (Mario Party 4)|Gates]], access different parts of a board and play [[Minigame#Mini minigames|Mini Mini-Game]]s.

In the DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Mini Mushrooms appear in [[Polastraits]], [[Icepeak]], and [[Blizland]]. As Mini Mario, Mario is able to cross thin ice, as well as narrow spaces. While Mario can become Mini Mario, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] cannot.

While battling [[Donkey Kong]] in the [[Great Ring of Kong]], [[Mario]] grabs a [[Mini Mushroom]] from a [[? Block]], mistaking it for a [[Super Mushroom]], eats it and charges at Donkey Kong. Mini Mario avoids Donkey Kong's punches and stomps, but is soon grabbed by him. Donkey Kong finger-flicks Mario, causing him to take damage and revert to his normal size upon hitting the ring's gate.

After [[Bowser]] is defeated, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] force-feeds him a Mini Mushroom, transforming him into Mini Bowser. In a mid-credits scene, Mini-Bowser, imprisoned in a birdcage in [[Peach's Castle]], continues to sing "[[Peaches]]" loudly into the night, only to be interrupted by a Toad who informs him he is past his curfew.
