Yeah, you know he's the best.
This is Mario without a mushroom. I don't think Nintendo have ever really, definitively said whether this is Mario's natural state and the mushroom gives him extra size (as always used to be the assumption) or whether he's really the taller Mario and getting hit by one of the Koopa Troop shrinks him down somehow (as seems to be the modern theory post-64).
I'm not so bothered either way, but I love little Mario. To me, little Mario will always be the best Mario. I sometimes deliberately skip powerups just so I can be littley-little Mario for a bit longer.
But is Mario naturally littly-little, or biggy-big? DISCUSS.
