post any random Mario thought on your mind

Well, clearly you are playing as a fake then.

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEOREM
 
Huh

It's... the same thing with Luigi in Mario Galaxy. What is it with NPCs having to be really big?
 
Ironically, the NPC Rosalina still looks rather short, especially when compared to her appearance in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

Sure, Lumas come in different sizes, but they're usually only big enough to cover Rosalina's face.

Probably due to purely gameplay reasons: smaller is harder to spot in games.
 
Wouldn't you want to "spot" the character you're playing as, though?
 
It's also not just for visibility. There's also collision with the world objects; when you want playable characters in games like Super Mario 3D World, sizes should be fairly consistent between characters. NPCs allow more leeway since they're not interacting with the world the way PCs are.
 
Ironically, when you look at the Kirby titles, some of Kirby's helpers are taller than him. This is especially notable in Kirby Star Allies, as helpers like Bonkers, Bugzzy, and Chef Kawasaki are bigger targets than Kirby.
