Original Titleガボン

  • Japanese: ガボン
Gabbro is a Cragnon living in the Land of the Cragnons during the game Super Paper Mario. His name is derived from "gabbro," a type of igneous rock. He is a big fan of Flint Cragley. He is one of the few Cragnons to avoid brainwashing and enslavement by King Croacus IV. Although Gabbro was captured and brought to the Floro Caverns, he managed to hide from the Floro Sapiens with the help of Tippi. Mario's group eventually obtains the key to the room where Gabbro and Tippi are hiding. Gabbro believes them to be agents of King Croacus but Tippi convinces him otherwise. She then tells him she cannot stay with him and must join the heroes. With that, she shrinks him allowing him to escape the caverns. He can be heard crying as he leaves. It is assumed that he returned to Downtown of Crag but he isn't seen for the remainder of the game. "Super Mario" refers to a form Mario assumes by obtaining a Super Mushroom. Super Mario is twice as tall as Small Mario. He can withstand being hit by an enemy without losing a life immediately, shrinking back to Small Mario instead. In Super Mario Bros., if Mario or Luigi get a Fire Flower (or a Super Leaf in the last game) while in Small form, they will only turn into their Super forms. This changed in Super Mario World so that Small Mario bypasses the Super form upon using a higher-tiered power-up. Also, Super Mario is the maximum form that a character can be in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Run as there are no higher tiered power-ups that allow a character to have additional abilities, such as the ability to shoot fireballs. In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Super Mario is treated as a power-up of Mario's default form as opposed to it being Mario's default size, as Small Mario's signature shrunken proportions are never present when Mario is depowered. Super Mario is depicted as twice the size of normal Mario.
