The smallest marsupial is the Long-tailed Planigale. It is 55 to 65 millimetres, without the tail, which is the same length as its body. It weighs 4.2 grams, although the largest specimens have been recorded at 6 grams. It lives in Australia's Top End and the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Almost as small is the ningaui. Both ningauis and planigales are members of the carnivorous marsupial family known as dasyurids.
The smallest species of wallaby is the Tammar wallaby (macropus eugenii), with an average weight of about 8kg. It is most common on Kangaroo Island, off the southern coast of the state of South Australia. It is also known as the Dama, Pamma, or Darma wallaby.
For more information on the Tammar wallaby, see the related link.

By the term "marsupial-like," I assume you are asking for a mammal that is like a marsupial but is not one. Colugos, which are placental mammals, are marsupial-like in that after a short gestation period (about 60 days), they give birth to rather undeveloped young which then cling to the mother's belly. The mother even makes a pouch by folding up her patagia (gliding membranes connecting the wrists and ankles) and her tail into one.

There is only one marsupial which truly hibernates, and that is the Mountain Pygmy possum.Other marsupials may enter a period of torpor, which is not the same as hibernation. These marsupials include the numbat, marsupial mole and other species of pygmy possums.
