 '''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. Some early appearances of Poison Mushrooms, such as in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']], result in a similar, temporary form. 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 ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[The Incredible Shrinking Ape]]" and ''[[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 Mini Mario is considered a distinct entity from these occurrences.
 ==History==
 ===''Mario Party 4''===
-''[[Mario Party 4]]'' introduces the Mini Mushroom to shrink players. While in their Mini form, the player can only roll a 1-5. The [[Super Mini Mushroom]] 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 [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]] board, if a mini player crosses Bowser, Bowser burns them and sends them to a special start in the board that is adjacent to two [[Bowser Space]]s and one [[Fortune Space]]. Bowser can also shrink players at a random turn in the board while also preventing them from using items.

-In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mario once again becomes Mini Mario by eating a Mini Mushroom. While in this form, the player can [[jump]] higher, run on water, and fit through [[small pipe]]s. [[Donut Block]]s will also not fall under Mini Mario's weight. However, enemies that Mario can defeat with a stomp at regular size take a Ground Pound to defeat in this form, as Mini Mario merely bounces off of them if he just jumps on them. He also cannot grab and hold anything in this form. As with [[Small Mario]], he loses a [[life]] if hit in this form, and can only get Super Mushrooms from blocks.

-In Mario vs. Luigi, Mini Mushrooms can spawn if a brother collects 8 [[Red Coin]]s. Usually, when Mario or Luigi gets hit by fireballs, he gets stunned and loses a big star, but fireballs can instantly defeat Mini Mario and Mini Luigi in this mode.
