Mari Mario is an original transformation that only appears in Super Mario-kun. Mario is turned into a ball and it is used as such in different occasions.
In chapter 1 volume 1, Luigi balls up Mario and tosses him at a Chargin' Chuck, but he tackles Mario towards a cliff.
In chapter 14 volume 2, while Mario lists all of the transformations of Super Mario Bros. 3, he mentions Mari Mario, but Luigi points out that he does not remember such a transformation.
In chapter 8 volume 10, Mario is balled up by Roy and put into a flipper.
Mario would later take on an identical transformation for the majority of Mario Pinball Land.
