Automated brain tumor segmentation in multi-parametric MRI remains challenging in resource-constrained settings where deep 3D networks are computationally prohibitive. We propose MMRINet, a lightweight architecture that replaces quadratic-complexity attention with linear-complexity Mamba state-space models for efficient volumetric context modeling. Novel Dual-Path Feature Refinement (DPFR) modules maximize feature diversity without additional data requirements, while Progressive Feature Aggregation (PFA) enables effective multi-scale fusion. In the BraTS-Lighthouse SSA 2025, our model achieves strong performance with an average Dice score of (0.752) and an average HD95 of (12.23) with only ~2.5M parameters, demonstrating efficient and accurate segmentation suitable for low-resource clinical environments.
