'''Invincible Mario''' is a form that makes its debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Mario]] can assume the form after using a [[Super Star]], which made its debut in the same game; while in this state, he is unaffected by most [[List of enemies|enemies]] and obstacles, and can defeat most of them by simply touching them. However, the state only lasts a few seconds, and Mario can still lose a life if he falls into a [[pit]], touches [[lava]], [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[poison fog|ash]], or a [[Boohemoth]], gets crushed in any way, or [[Time Limit|runs out of time]]. Invincibility is usually depicted by a flashing, color-changing character. Unless he is already in another invincibility-granting form (like the [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki]] form, which is incompatible with this form), Mario usually retains his current form while invincible (for example, if [[Fire Mario]] gets a Super Star, he becomes invincible, but retains his Fire form).

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Invincible Mario somersaults when he jumps if he is not Small Mario, in a similar manner to [[Samus Aran]]. Also, there are some [[? Block]]s that normally contain [[coin]]s, but instead contain Super Stars if Mario or Luigi is invincible when they strike the block. This allows the player to string together a long period of invincibility, and thus gain even more points (and in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', extra lives).

In the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], Invincible Mario returns, working as it did in ''Super Mario World''. In addition to making players invincible, it also increases one's running speed in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and it can be shared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' if an invincible player lifts a vulnerable partner (or vice-versa). The last three games also give the player the ability to clear [[Enemy Course]]s on the map without entering them, though they will not get any items from them. The form also makes the player somersault like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', even in Small form.

''New Super Mario Bros.'' also features [[Mega Mario]], which is similarly invincible. In certain courses, the Invincible form creates a trail of [[Blue Coin]]s behind Mario/Luigi.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', invincibility works as it did in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, with the only differences being that an extra life is gained for every eighth enemy defeated (instead of every enemy from the eighth onwards), and invincible players merely need to touch others to share the invincibility, rather than grab them. The new [[Lucky Bell]] lets [[Mario]] turn into an invincible [[Lucky Cat Mario|lucky cat statue]] for a brief time. The Mega and White Tanooki forms also return.

Although power-ups, including Super Stars, do not return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Mario can still become briefly invincible if any Mario [[amiibo]] is used. In this game, the music is recycled from [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]], and Mario does not instantly defeat enemies upon contact; his life meter does not decrease whereas he still receives knockback.

The Invincible form reappears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Also, the player is able to attract nearby coins ([[flower coin]]s in addition to yellow coins) just like in ''Super Mario Run''.
 
===DIC ''Super Mario'' television series===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', neither Invincible Mario or Luigi ever made an appearance, as a Starman would not turn Mario or Luigi invincible, but instead served as an alternative to the [[Fire Flower]] for becoming "Super Mario" or "Super Luigi".

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series, characters can become invincible for a limited time by using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. As shown in "[[Party Line]]", this invincibility state also makes characters strong enough to launch enemies into space. In ''Super Mario World'', Luigi is the only character to obtain a regular Starman, but Mario somehow also becomes invincible from his "dizzy stars" after getting knocked down by a T-Rex in "Party Line". In both shows, the Bros. flash two palettes: [[Fire Mario|Fire]] and normal.

During the movie's climax, both Mario and Luigi turn invincible by grabbing a Super Star before being hit by Bowser's fire breath. This allows them to effortlessly beat him and his forces, as well as destroying [[Bowser's Ship|his ship]].

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', once Yoshi touches an [[Invincibility Egg]] (which spawns after five deaths), he glows orange and be immune to damage from enemies and their attacks. However, Yoshi cannot instantly defeat enemies by touching them, and he can still be pushed by enemies, and instantly defeated by spike pits, bottomless pits, lava, and being crushed.

In ''Mario'' sports titles where Super Stars appear as items, like ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', invincible characters become immune to the effects of other items.
