 '''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was confirmed on June 11th, 2013 during the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct.<ref name="trailer1">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvudMu-5kIU Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U 1st Trailer]</ref> He was also one of the main subjects of the Developer's Direct for ''Super Smash Bros.'' later during E3 2013.<ref name="devdirect">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013]</ref> He was among the first wave of [[amiibo]] figurines for ''Smash 4''. Charles Martinet's portrayal of Mario from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Smash 4''.<ref name="treehouseday2">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edCQDRuL8Dk Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2014 -- Day 2: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]</ref>
-Mario is currently ranked 9th out of 54 characters on the [[tier list]], in the A tier, which is at the lower end of the top tier. This is a huge improvement from his 31st out of 38 ranking in ''Brawl'' where he stood at the top of the bottom tier, rendering him as the veteran with the most improvement in the transition. Additionally, ''Smash 4'' is the first release in ''Super Smash Bros.'' where he is placed higher than a mid-tier, resulting in his best tier list placement yet. Mario's greatest asset is his effective frame data; most of his moves have little startup lag and have relatively low end lag. This results in Mario being fairly difficult to [[punish]] relative to most of the cast. His combo game is quite flexible, as Mario can rack up damage quickly and reliably, most notoriously with his down throw into multiple up tilts. In addition, he also has a versatile moveset: a disruptive [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]], a [[reflection]]-based and [[reverse]]-based move in his [[Cape]] that can counteract [[camping]], and a decent, if niche [[edgeguard]]ing option with [[F.L.U.D.D.]].

 Despite being buffed significantly from ''Brawl'', Mario retains several weaknesses. Mario's overall range is below average, giving him trouble against characters with long [[disjointed]] range such as {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Marth}}. Furthermore, he cannot effectively outcamp other characters, due to Fireball being relatively slow compared to some other projectiles in the game. Mario also suffers from a lack of consistent KO setups, lack of strong and effective KO options outside of forward and up smash and along side his short frame and relative floatiness for a middleweight, a weakness to [[rage]] setups. Mario's average attributes do not allow him to quickly gain an advantage either, as the strengths of other characters can contest his, with the most notable being his overall mobility.
