History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Double Mario makes its first appearance inSuper Mario 3D World, and reappears in itsNintendo Switch port exclusively in theSuper Mario 3D World mode. The player controls all of the Marios simultaneously. The clone can be separated by ramps, ledges, and other obstacles. Double Mario can be stacked with other power-ups, allowing the clones to use whatever power the player currently is using. If the character or one of the clones gets a different power-up from the one they are using at the moment, all of them are affected. If Mario gets anotherDouble Cherry in this form, more clones will be added, to a maximum of five clones per player. If a characterGround Pounds on another player's clone, then that clone will transform into that character's clone. The clones have no physical difference from the original, unless the original is wearing aCrown, or areserve item is used, because it will come out from the original character.

If a clone is damaged, falls down a pit, or is off-screen for too long, it will disappear. The last clone standing after being attacked, regardless of the player's position, will end up being the original and will take normal damage from then on; thus the clones effectively act as protection for the player. If the farthest clone is trailing behind the group, it will speed up to reach the pack.

Bowser obtains this form asMeowser during the second phase of the final battle. Like the other character's doubles, his doubles have no physical difference between each other. However, Meowser's doubles move independently from one another.

The Double Mario power originated when a member of theSuper Mario 3D World development team accidentally placed two player-controlled Marios in a level. When the supervisors saw this, they liked it and decided to keep it in the game.^[1]

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

While Double Mario does not appear inSuper Mario Maker 2 as a useable form, knocking on aWarp Door in theSuper Mario 3D World theme may causeWeird Mario to appear in this form (as two Weird Marios).

InCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker,Captain Toad andToadette can use the Double Cherry to create duplicates of themselves, which function identically to how they do inSuper Mario 3D World, though they give ten coins per clone upon clearing a course.
