In ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'', Mario was regarded as an unviable low tier, as while he had very solid frame data, decent edgeguarding, an effective projectile and a powerful and versatile tool in the form of his [[Cape]], he also suffered from having poor range, limited/difficult to land KO moves and a poor recovery, which was very linear, did not cover much distance, and could be easily [[edge hog]]ged. As a result, Mario struggled against a majority of the cast and despite the developer's intention to design him as a beginner friendly all arounder, he still ended being an unpopular choice due to his poor relative strength to the cast. | In ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'', Mario was regarded as an unviable low tier, as while he had very solid frame data, decent edgeguarding, an effective projectile and a powerful and versatile tool in the form of his [[Cape]], he also suffered from having poor range, limited/difficult to land KO moves and a poor recovery, which was very linear, did not cover much distance, and could be easily [[edge hog]]ged.

As a result of this, Mario has received a fair share of buffs and nerfs in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' | As a result of this, Mario has received a fair share of buffs and nerfs in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', but has been significantly [[buff]]ed overall. Mario's mobility is overall better especially in the air; with his jumps and up special being higher and his air speed being much higher which along with his faster [[air dodge]] and the removal of [[edge hogging]], significantly improves his recovery. | ||
Mario is overall more capable of comboing and KOing both due to universal changes and changes to some of his moves. Mario's forward and up smash which were already his main KO moves have been made stronger. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] and [[directional influence]] have significantly improved Mario's combo potential and two of his moves have been altered to further enforce this. Mario's down throw has significantly reduced base knockback which has made it a much better combo tool at low percents while still being a much more reliable combo tool at higher percents due to the changes to hitstun canceling/DI. Mario's grabs are also faster; making it easier for him to start his powerful grab game. | Mario is overall more capable of comboing and KOing both due to universal changes and changes to some of his moves.
