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. | 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 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.

Mario's up aerial now launches opponents vertically like its ''Smash 64'' counterpart which has made Mario's already decent juggling potential much more potent especially with the afforementioned changes to hitstun canceling/DI. The move can very easily chain into itself and lead into a [[Super Jump Punch]] making it a very powerful juggling tool. Mario's forward aerial is also noticeably more effective. The move is not only stronger and naturally benefits from the removal of [[meteor canceling]], but it can also be comboed into due to the afforementioned changes to hitstun canceling/DI as well as his altered down throw/up aerial. | Mario's up aerial now launches opponents vertically like its ''Smash 64'' counterpart which has made Mario's already decent juggling potential much more potent especially with the afforementioned changes to hitstun canceling/DI.

Mario also greatly benefits from the introduction of [[rage]] as it not only allows him to KO earlier as well as allowing his combos to work sooner but it also enables him to KO opponents at insanely low percents with his Super Jump Punch; giving him a cheesy KO option which can occasionally allow Mario to score insanely early KOes. Mario's solid weight also means that he is capable of building up a decent amount of rage before getting KOed. | Mario also greatly benefits from the introduction of [[rage]] as it not only allows him to KO earlier as well as allowing his combos to work sooner but it also enables him to KO opponents at insanely low percents with his Super Jump Punch; giving him a cheesy KO option which can occasionally allow Mario to score insanely early KOes.

Mario has received some nerfs however. Mario's damage output has now been decreased noticeably even relative to the cast, now being average. This makes it harder for Mario to rack up damage although his more consistent combo game somewhat alleviates this. This also means that quite a few of Mario's more situational KO moves (such as the front hit of down smash, neutral aerial and back throw) are weaker than they were before meaning that Mario still has to rely on landing a forward or an up smash to secure a KO if he does not score an early KO from an edgeguard | Despite the plethora of buffs, Mario has received some nerfs however.

Mario's frame data, while still solid is also worse with multiple moves having increased ending lag as well as some moves having shorter hitbox durations. | ||
Mario's [[Fireball]]s and [[Cape]] have also seen some nerfs. Fireballs; while travelling further are laggier and weaker making them a worse camping tool overall. Cape's reflection period has been reduced and the removal of [[edge momentum shifting]] has hindered Cape more than almost any other special significantly | Mario's [[Fireball]]s and [[Cape]] have also seen some nerfs. Fireballs; while travelling further are laggier and weaker making them a worse camping tool overall. Cape's reflection period has been reduced and the removal of [[edge momentum shifting]] has hindered Cape more than almost any other special, as it significantly hinders its edgeguarding and approach potential. Even before edge momentum shifting was removed in patch [[1.0.8]], Cape did not gain as much momentum when used off an edge. Cape is also hindered by the removal of edge hogging and the speeding up of air dodges although Mario still overall benefits from these changes. | ||
Mario's traction is also lower which hinders his ability to punish out of shield despite still possessing excellent out of shield options. Mario can also no longer use a pivoted forward smash to make it cover a lot more distance which considerably hinders Mario's ability to whiff punish moves while being on the ground. | Mario's traction is also lower which hinders his ability to punish out of shield despite still possessing excellent out of shield options.
