'''Mario''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He is designed to be a mix of the best attributes of both his ''Melee'' version and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. He is currently considered a mid tier character, being ranked 20th in the latest [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]] and in the middle of the B tier. This is a great improvement over his ''Brawl'' placement of 31st out of 38, and a slight improvement from his ''Melee'' placement, where Mario ranked 15th out of 26. In ''Project+'', Mario is ranked 16th on the official {{h2|Project+|tier list}} in the A tier, a further improvement over his ''Project M'' placement.
'''Mario''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]'', hailing from the self-titled ''[[Mario (universe)|Super Mario]]'' games. He is designed to be a mix of the best attributes of both his ''Melee'' version and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. <!--tier position paragraph goes here-->
 
==Attributes==
==Attributes==
Mario is average in most respects and very well rounded. He has a straightforward [[combo]] game that can transition well from the ground to the air, many options out of his [[throw]]s, reliable [[approach]] options, and a solid ranged games with his [[fireball]]s and [[cape]]. While Mario is not the master of any one field, he is capable in all of them. Other characters may outclass him in speed or power, but Mario's overall well rounded set of attributes grants him versatility and the ability to take on most opponents.

Line 16: Line 17:
Mario is endowed with a practical set of [[aerial attack]]s. His neutral aerial and down aerial serve as approaching tools, up and back can combo or [[gimp]] respectively, and his forward aerial is a great finisher. He is also capable off stage. His cape, quick aerials, and surprisingly good [[recovery]] allow him to head off stage and finish off opponents attempting returns of their own. On stage, Mario can be as much of a threat. His grab allows for [[chain throw]]s, can lead into his deadly aerial combos, or can put the opponent off stage to set up a gimp. He can zone or approach with his fireballs, and has great finishers in his forward and up smash.

Despite his strengths, Mario still must cope with his lack of range and limited recovery options. However, the latter may vary if one takes into account all of the different ways that Mario can recover with his specials.

==Changes from ''Melee'' to PM==
Mario was overall buffed from ''Melee'' to Project M, while still possessing balanced stats and average power attacks. Mario himself is now a slight mix between himself and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, with increased air speed, and moves like forward aerial and up smash acting like Dr. Mario's.
 
===Aesthetics===
*{{buff|New down [[taunt]] acts like Dr. Mario's from ''Melee'' and also has a damaging hitbox that deals 3%.}}


===Ground attacks===
===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM===
*{{buff|[[Dash attack]]'s hitbox has been moved to Mario's leg, improving it's range.}}
[[Image:PMMarioAlt.png|thumb|Mario's alternate costume.]]
*{{buff|[[Down tilt]] has less ending lag (IASA 35 → 29) and has increased base knockback (10 → 30), improving it combo ability and safety.}}

*{{buff|If [[up smash]] hits late (via in front of Mario as opposed to behind or above), it becomes more powerful and [[spike]]s grounded foes (also akin to Dr. Mario's), comboing better into aerial attacks. It also deals more damage than the doctor's version.}}
*{{buff|Down smash's second hit has a longer duration (1 frame → 2).}}


===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|Greater air speed matching that of Dr. Mario, improving Mario's midair approach.}}
*{{buff|Beginning of [[forward aerial]] acts like Dr. Mario's, dealing higher damage with strong knockback and a more favorable angle for KOs (60°), while the late hit acts like the original meteor smash hitbox, greatly strengthening its use for [[approach]]ing and making it more reliable as a forward air. It also has much less ending lag (IASA 60 → 45).}}
*{{buff|Beginning of [[forward aerial]] acts like Dr. Mario's, dealing higher damage with strong knockback and a standarized angle for KOs <!--please verify if this is the Sakurai angle-->, while the late hit acts like the original attack, greatly strengthening its use for [[approach]]ing and making it more reliable as a forward air.}}
*{{buff|[[Back aerial]] still possesses its former power, but it now has a [[semi-spike]] angle like Dr. Mario's, being more useful at [[gimp]]ing recoveries.}}
*{{buff|[[Back aerial]] still possesses its former power, but it now has a [[semi-spike]] angle like Dr. Mario's, being more useful at [[gimp]]ing recoveries.}}
*{{change|Up aerial now has a late hit that starts on frame 6, the hitbox behaves identically to Dr. Mario's Up-Air in ''Melee''.}}
*{{buff|[[Down aerial]] inflicts higher damage for more consistent use. Its landing hitbox has also been shrunk, making less likely for opponents to be launched away by the move out of the range of Mario's attacks, and the first hit has higher base knockback so that it will almost always cause [[tumbling]] if the rest of the move whiffs.}}
*{{buff|Up aerial has less ending lag (IASA 30 → 28) and autocancels sooner (frame 16 → 15).}}
*{{buff|If [[up smash]] hits late, it becomes more powerful and [[spike]]s grounded foes (also akin to Dr. Mario's), comboing better into aerial attacks.}}
*{{buff|[[Down aerial]] inflicts higher damage for more consistent use, and now antocancels on short hop. Its landing hitbox has also been shrunk, making less likely for opponents to be launched away by the move out of the range of Mario's attacks, and the first hit has higher base knockback so that it will almost always cause [[tumbling]] if the rest of the move whiffs.}}
*{{buff|[[Fireball]]s have less [[ending lag]], so they can be acted out of sooner and are quicker for repeated use. They also act more like [[Megavitamin]]s, being stronger and having a bouncier trajectory}}
 
*{{buff|[[Super Jump Punch]] [[Super Jump Punch wall jump|can be cancelled by a wall jump]] at any time it is touching the wall, expanding recovery more easily on stages like [[Yoshi's Story]] and [[Hyrule Castle]]. It also hits less times while still dealing the same damage, making it easier to rack up damage with the move.}}
===Grabs and throws===
*{{buff|[[Mario Tornado]] creates more vertical distance, aiding Mario's recovery.}}
*{{buff|[[Back throw]] retains its power from Dr. Mario's back throw.}}
*{{buff|New down [[taunt]] acts like Dr. Mario's from ''Melee'' and also has a damaging hitbox that deals 3%}}
*{{change|[[Down throw]] has higher knockback growth (30 → 50), this hinders it's chaingrabbing ability, but makes it slightly easier to follow up into other attacks against fast-fallers.}}
*{{nerf|Super Jump Punch has less base knockback on the last hit, and can only be canceled once in its [[wall jump]] technique, until landing or grabbing a ledge.}}
 
*{{change|Mario Tornado has star graphics, in a reference to the Star Spin from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}''.}}
===Special Moves===
*{{buff|[[Fireball]]s have less [[ending lag]], so they can be acted out of sooner and are quicker for repeated use. They also act more like [[Megavitamin]]s, being stronger and having a bouncier trajectory.}}
*{{change|Mario uses SFX from ''Melee'' for his [[Fireball]]s and retained down aerial.}}
*{{change|Mario uses SFX from ''Melee'' for his [[Fireball]]s and retained down aerial.}}
*{{buff|[[Cape glide]] from ''Brawl'' has been retained giving [[Cape]] more utility.}}
*{{buff|[[Super Jump Punch]] [[Super Jump Punch wall jump|can be cancelled by a wall jump]] during the first 6 frames it is touching the wall, instead of just the first frame. It also hits less times while still dealing the same damage, making it easier to rack up damage with the move.}}
*{{nerf|Super Jump Punch has less base knockback on the last hit, and can only be canceled once in its [[wall jump]] technique until landing.}}
*{{buff|[[Mario Tornado]] creates more vertical distance, aiding Mario's recovery.}}
**{{change|Before 3.5, Mario Tornado had a wind vector with star graphics, in a reference to the Star Spin from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}''}}, which were later then removed when 3.5 was released, leaving Mario with only his wind vector.


==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM==
===Dr. Mario===
===Aesthetics===
'''Dr. Mario''' appears as Mario's alternate costume. Players may switch between Mario and Dr. Mario costumes, similarly to Wario's alternate costume sets for his Wario Land and WarioWare appearances. When wearing a Dr. Mario costume, Mario's Fireballs and their related sound effects in his neutral special and down taunt change to Megavitamins, and his [[forward smash]] also comes to have an [[electric]]al effect, though there is no difference in gameplay other than these effects and aesthetics. Dr. Mario's cape color also fits to match his colors.
*{{change|Mario now has a new alternate costume, Dr. Mario, who throws Megavitamins instead of fireballs and uses an electric effect for his forward smash instead of fire.}}
*{{change|Mario now says "hoh" when doing his first jump.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial has an additional hitbox that sends the opponent flying upwards instead of meteor smashing them.}}
*{{change|Mario's down aerial is now a drill kick like the one from ''Melee'', and uses SFX from Melee as well.}}
*{{nerf|Back aerial does 1% less damage on the clean hit.}}
**{{buff|However, it does 2% more damage on the late hit.}}
**{{change|Mario's back aerial also uses its animation from ''Melee''.}}
 
===Special attacks===
*{{buff|Fireballs do 2% more damage.}}
**{{change|Mario's fireballs use their ''Melee'' sound effects.}}
*{{buff|Cape does 2% more damage.}}

**{{nerf|Cape no longer reverses opponents' controls.}}
***{{buff|However, Project M's different ledge mechanics counter this, since Mario can turn opponents around from the ledge and stop them from grabbing it.}}
*{{buff|Mario can utilize the Super Jump Punch wall jump technique.}}
*{{buff|Mario Tornado replaces F.L.U.D.D as down special, which improves Mario's recovery potential.}}

The cape can [[Reflection|reflect]] projectiles and turns the opponent the other way, making it a useful edgeguarding technique, especially against characters with linear recovery moves such as [[Fox Illusion]] and [[Quick Draw]].
| Super Jump Punch || 12% maximum || Jumps upward, fist extended, at a diagonal angle, spawning 2D coin sprites when hitting opponents. Can be slightly angled sideways.

! colspan="2" | Up special
!Down special
| [[Super Jump Punch]] || 5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-5), 3% (hit 6) || Mario does a jumping uppercut diagonally upward, being a multi-hit attack that causes 2D coins sprites to fly out any opponents who come in his path. Considered Mario's main recovery move. Additionally, if this move is used while Mario is directly next to a wall and the [[control stick]] is flicked backward at the apex of the jump, the move will be cancelled into a [[wall jump]] that does not cause Mario to become [[helpless]], making him free to use the same move again without landing. The trajectory of the move can be aimed by tilting the control stick forward or backward.
| Mario/Dr. Tornado || 13% total || Spins around hitting the opponent multiple times. Mario can rise with the move by [[Button mashing|mashing]] the special button, though this can only be used once before reaching the ground.

| [[Mario Tornado|Mario]] / [[Dr. Tornado]] || 2% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-7), 5% (hit 8) || Mario performs a multi-hit spinning attack with his fists outstretched that traps opponents before knocking them away. Mario can rise in the air with this move by [[Button mashing|mashing]] the special button, though this can only be used once before touching the ground. Originates from the Spin Jump in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
| Mario Finale || 2% each hit || Mario fires two giant fireballs that intertwine with each other and engulf the stage, hitting consecutively. Oddly enough, this doesn't change when he's Dr. Mario.

==Alternate costumes==
*{{sm|Boss|USA}}
===Project M===
The Wario alt was cut in ''Project M'' due to costume slot limitations at the time, making space for Dr. Mario, appearing as Mario's alternate costume. Players may switch between Mario and Dr. Mario costumes, similarly to Wario's alternate costume sets for his ''Wario Land'' and ''WarioWare'' appearances. This costume provides many aesthetic changes; Mario's Fireballs and their related sound effects in his neutral special and down taunt changed to that of the Megavitamins, his [[forward smash]] sports an electric effect and Dr. Mario's cape color matches the color used. No differences apply in regular gameplay from these aesthetic changes, but the changed elements will affect [[The Subspace Emissary]] and [[Boss Battles]] enemies.

===Project+===
In ''[[Project+]]'', Mario's Wario-inspired color returns, and the Dr. Mario costume gets a new purple variant. Builder Mario from ''Super Mario Maker'' also appears as a third alternate costume, with two extra alternate colors.

'''Z-Secret Costume:''' Cowboy Mario: Based on Mario's appearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 2}}'' when participating on the {{s|mariowiki|Western Land}} board, with the plaid pattern on the shirt being nearly identical to that of the Cowboy Outfit from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''.


'''R-Secret Costume:''' Beach Mario: Based on the sunglasses and {{s|mariowiki|Shine Sprite}}-patterned shirt Mario can wear in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', which only darkens the screen and does nothing else beyond that. The former can be obtained from the {{s|mariowiki|sunglasses vendor}} after 30 Shine Sprites have been obtained, and the latter can be obtained by the same yellow {{s|mariowiki|Pianta}} character after defeating Bowser, causing both to be equipped at the same time after speaking to him.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The "RSBE-01" written on the Megavitamins of the Dr. Mario render is a reference to ''Brawl''{{'}}s NTSC game identification code.
*The "RSBE-01" written on the Megavitamins of the Dr. Mario render is a reference to ''Brawl''{{'}}s NTSC game identification code.
*In ''Project M'', Mario's Wario-coloured costume was removed; likely because of its slight redundancy (due to Wario becoming playable in ''Brawl'' and having the same outfit selectable). This gave room for Dr. Mario to have his black color, making him one of only five characters from ''Brawl'' to lose a costume (the others being Marth's light blue costume, Ganondorf's brown costume, Snake's blue costume and all of Sonic's costumes sans default). This colour was brought back in ''Project+''.
*Mario's Wario-coloured costume was removed to give Doctor Mario room for his black color, making him one of the only two characters from ''Brawl'' to lose a costume (the other being Marth and his bright blue costume).
*In Dr. Mario's default costume he has light-blue gloves instead of the white gloves from his melee incarnation.
