Mini Marios (originally formatted as Mini-Marios) are protagonists in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong video game series. They can be considered the main protagonists after replacing Mario as a playable character in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis.
Appearance
They are small versions of Mario. The only differences are that all their attire is metallic, their hands are like Lego people's hands, and they have wind-up keys in their backs that later in the series look like Mini Donkey Kongs' wind-up keys.
Powers and abilities
Basic abilities
- Hammer proficiency: Like all the minis, Mini Marios can use the hammers.
Special abilities
- Wall jump: Originally, Mini Marios used wall-jump pads in order to wall-jump in March of the Minis, while in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, they wall-jump without using any pads at all.
Miscellaneous abilities
- Fire Transformation: Similar to how Mario becomes Fire Mario when touching a Fire Flower, Mini Marios become Fire Mini Marios when they touches a Fire Flower in March of the Minis.
- Fireball projection: They shoot fireballs until their transformation wears off.
