Small Cosmic Clones[1] are enemies found only in the special worlds of Super Mario 3D Land. They are purple doppelgängers of Small Mario, even when the player is playing as Luigi. Small Cosmic Clones behave like the normal Cosmic Clones of Super Mario Galaxy 2, matching the player character's movements and actions in the course. If the player character stops moving and makes contact with a Small Cosmic Clone, they are damaged. However, they do not appear in groups, nor do they dissipate when touched. Mario or Luigi can defeat Small Cosmic Clones by touching them while in their Invincible form, their White Tanooki form, or by touching the course's Goal Pole. They give three coins upon defeat. Upon Mario or Luigi reaching a certain area (normally the course's halfway point), the Small Cosmic Clone disappears. If they leave that area, the Small Cosmic Clone appears again, even if it has been defeated with a Super Star.
This game also introduces Big Cosmic Clones, which have a slower and lower-pitched voice and are four times as big. They can also destroy Brick Blocks on contact, and they give ten coins when defeated. They otherwise behave the same, and still resemble Small Mario.
