Template:Articleabout Template:Diff Template:Form-infobox Mini Mario is a form that Mario and Luigi can become in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This form allows them to jump higher, walk on water, jump over enemies without stomping them, and also fit through tiny Warp Pipes. The Mini form comes from when taking a Mini Mushroom. If damage is taken when in this form, rather than reverting back to regular-sized Mario, Mario loses a life. In Super Paper Mario, Dottie could shrink Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, and Bowser, giving them access to tiny pipes and so forth. Mini Mushrooms also turn a character mini in Mario Party 4. This is technically the first appearance.
In an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers) when Toad shrinks Mario and Luigi, King Koopa calls them Mini Mario Brothers.
Mario's Mini form makes a brief appearance in Mario Party 8 when the plumber eats a Weeglee Candy and also during some Mini games. Also the Mini form appears through out Mario Party DS after being shrunken by Bowser's Minimizer.
This transformation is just like Wario's Tiny Form
The Mini Form can appear in the Mario Kart Series when they get struck by Lightning or anything electrical.
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
Mini-Mario is a Bros. Action taught to Luigi in Chateau de Chucklehuck. It involves Luigi standing behind Mario and hitting him with a hammer. Mario then shrinks to about half of his normal size, allowing him to fit through gaps normally inaccessable. In addition, when Mario is in Beanbean Castle Town, a small exclamation mark will appear over his head whenever he draws near an area of ground where a Beanstone is located. If the game is being played on the Game Boy Player, the controller will react. A larger exclamation mark will appear if Mario is directly above a Beanstone. In order for him to be restored to his normal size, Mario must either be hit by Luigi's hammer or enter battle.
Trivia
- If Luigi attempts to High Jump onto Mini-Mario, and if Mario jumps when Luigi is directly above him, he will earn a coin every time Luigi is hit. However, every time Luigi is hit, he will lose 1 HP.
