Baby Mario is a fictional character in Nintendo's Super Mario series of video games, in which he is an infant version of famed mascot Mario. He first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and has appeared in several titles since. Although he has oddly appeared alongside his older self in Nintendo sports titles such as Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, these games are generally accepted to be outside the continuity of the main Mario series, and therefore do not suggest that Mario and Baby Mario are separate characters in the main storyline. An alternative solution is that the babies were present via time travel, as was the case in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Like the older Mario, Baby Mario is voiced by Charles Martinet.^[1] Image File history File links M&lpit_baby_mario. ... This article is a chronological list of Mario games. ...

Appearances

Baby Mario (along with Baby Luigi and Baby Toad) on The Adventures of SMB3.

Interestingly, the earliest appearance of the Baby Mario character was not in a game, but rather in the cartoon series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. In the episode in question, "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel", Bowser and Ludwig von Koopa (respectively called King Koopa and Kooky von Koopa in this series) attempt to travel to the past to prevent Mario and Luigi from ever coming to the Mushroom Kingdom, but the Mario Bros. and Toad stow away on the Doomship (the Airship's name in the cartoon) in an attempt to stop them. As a result of some turbulence caused by the Koopa King's lack of patience, Ludwig's time-travel device de-ages the bodies of him, Bowser, Mario, Luigi, and Toad into baby bodies (their minds are not affected by the change, as evidenced by the fact that they can still speak normal English). Unlike his later Nintendo design, this version of Baby Mario wears a red bonnet in place of his hat and, in spite of the transformation, still has a moustache.

A one-page short story in the Nintendo Comics System also showed Mario as a baby, this version depicting him as being "born with full head of hair, and a full face too!" This version of Baby Mario also is drawn with a moustache, albeit a much lighter one, which apparently becomes more like the fully-grown Mario's moustache as the character ages, even in his youth. The Nintendo Comics System was a series of comic books published by Valiant Comics in 1990 and 1991. ...

Baby Mario's first official game appearance came in the Super NES game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island where the Yoshis saved his brother Luigi from Kamek the Magikoopa. In Yoshi's Island, Baby Mario has a rather passive role, essentially being carried around by different Yoshis for most of the game. However, in some levels, a power-up resembling a starman gives him very high speed, relative invincibility, and the ability to float for short distances.^[2] The European SNES design is identical to the Super Famicom. ...

Baby Mario, as depicted in the Yoshi's Island/Yoshi Touch and Go games

On the Nintendo DS, Baby Mario has appeared in Yoshi Touch & Go, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Yoshi's Island DS. In Yoshi Touch & Go he reclaims the role he held in Yoshi's Island; Baby Mario falls from the sky, this time held up by balloons, as the player guides him by drawing clouds down to the ground where Yoshi waits to catch him. He then rides on Yoshi's back for the rest of that level of the game. In some game modes, Baby Mario can again find the power-up that turns him into Superstar Mario, making him temporarily invincible. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, he appears alongside his adult counterpart, along with both respective versions of Luigi. The pair of brothers team up in order to save Princess Peach (the grown-up version) from a group of alien invaders known as the Shroobs. In Yoshi's Island DS, a mysterious floating castle is linked to the disappearance of babies around the world (including Baby Luigi), and Baby Mario teams up with Yoshi, Baby Peach, Baby Bowser, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario to save them. Baby Mario, (as well as baby Luigi,) also appear as a playable character in Mario Superstar Baseball.

Trivia

• The Japan-only game Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa is sometimes referred to as "Mario Baby" due to that name being applied to a ROM hack of the game.

• In Yoshi's Island, Baby Mario was shown wearing just a diaper and his hat, but in games since then (except Yoshi Touch and Go, probably because it takes place at the same time as Yoshi's Island), Baby Mario has worn a red shirt and blue overalls—the same outfit he would wear later in life. Another side note is that his red "M" cap is the same size and is rather big for Baby Mario's head.

• Baby Mario made a cameo alongside Baby Luigi in the first picture of the opening and ending intro of Mario Power Tennis.

• When promotional artwork of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time was originally released, Baby Mario was depicted wearing red shoes. However, in the screenshots of the actual game, his shoes were actually blue, as was the case in previous appearances.
