'''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') appears as a [[starter character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' He is considered an "all-around" [[fighter]] (like in most games) due to his relatively balanced attributes, a trait that has carried on with him in subsequent games.

Like in his appearances before the game, Mario is voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}, albeit via recycled voice clips from ''Super Mario 64'', but low pitched.

Mario ranks 7th on the [[tier list]], in the B tier. As an all-rounder character, Mario has a good balance of offensive and defensive capabilities. He has a strong [[combo]] game, threatening ledge traps, and some of the best [[edgeguarding]] despite having moderate [[falling speed]] and low [[air speed]]. This solid offstage presence is complimented by an above-average recovery. His [[Super Jump Punch]] gains some good distance while being relatively quick, and he also has an additional recovery option in [[Mario Tornado]], which can even [[spike]] a careless edgeguarder. Mario has numerous additional tools, including a [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]], a very powerful finisher in his up smash, and useful [[throw]]s, with his {{mvsub|Mario|SSB|back throw}} being especially powerful.

Mario, however, has short [[range]] compared to characters tiered higher than him, with issues in the [[hitbox]]es of his tilts and aerials. He also has poor mobility, with subpar [[walking]], [[dashing]], and air speed, which slightly limits his combo potential. In addition to this, his [[recovery]], while good, is on the predictable side, with his Super Jump Punch and Mario Tornado traveling in a way that isn't too difficult for most characters to intercept. 

Overall, Mario makes for a respectable but unremarkable fighter, just like his archetype. Though Mario is an uncommon sight at top-level play, he still has the tools to take on any character, and has garnered some impressive results in the hands of players like {{Sm|Isai}} and {{Sm|Czar}}. He is also considered to be slightly better in the Japanese version due to the differences in [[SDI]] mechanics.

==Attributes==
[[File:SSB64 Congratulations Mario.png|thumb|230px|Mario's [[congratulations screen]].]]
[[File:Ssb64mario.jpg|thumb|Mario using Super Jump Punch in the ''Smash 64'' instruction booklet.]]
Mario is considered to be the balanced character. His stats are overall average to slightly subpar, with average [[weight]], size, falling speed, and traction and below average walking, dashing, and air speeds as well as a subpar jump. He overall has a good combination of low power and high power attacks, giving him a pretty strong combo ability with many options, yet a variety of KO moves and options. He also has a projectile in his Fireball, that is a decent way to prevent opponent [[approach]]es due to falling downward while moving forward if used in the air. On the ground, it travels too slowly (along with the move's [[ending lag]]) to be effective however.

Mario's down aerial, a drill kick, is an excellent damage racker, being able to combo straight into an up aerial or itself (if offstage or high enough). It, being a meteor smash with consistently low knockback, is a rather effective way to [[gimp]] opponent's recoveries, and isn't of very high risk to use offstage due to Mario's good recovery. Mario's [[short hop]]ped down aerial to up aerial combos are usually considered the best way to rack damage at base to low percentages, when his up tilt has too much [[ending lag]] to combo efficiently. His up tilt can chain into itself easily at moderate or close to moderate percentages, can combo into aerials, and is an effective move to use for [[juggling]] along with his up aerial. Mario's up smash and back throw are very powerful KO moves, with the former being able to KO on {{SSB|Dream Land}} as low as 73%, and being able to be combo'd into with a short hopped [[Z-cancel]]led down aerial, and the latter easily being able to garner KOs or at least set up edgeguards when used near the edge. His down smash is also a powerful move, with its two hits being spread out over a somewhat long duration, allowing it to easily read defensive options such as rolls, and also being able to hit characters on the [[edge]]. Even his forward throw and forward smash, weaker than his main KO moves, are strong enough to be able to KO near the edge.

Mario also has one of the best offstage games. His forward aerial consists of multiple hitboxes, with the last few being able to [[semi-spike]], while it and his back aerial are solid KO moves due to their speed, range, and power. Both can also be used for spacing efficiently. His down aerial can drag opponents down if used repeatedly, as it is a meteor smash with extremely low set knockback, though it isn't very fast, meaning characters with better recoveries (mostly {{SSB|Pikachu}}, other Marios to a lesser extent) are able to escape. His neutral aerial, while inferior to back and forward aerials in terms of power, may be used to edgeguard whenever Mario is in the situational position to use it after a combo. [[Fireball]], his neutral special, can also be used to gimp opponents with linear recoveries. [[Super Jump Punch]] and [[Mario Tornado]] also grant Mario a good recovery (though the latter requires quick [[button mashing]]), especially vertically, and while both moves travel in a linear way, Mario Tornado can be used at different times to mix up his options and make his recovery less predictable. It can also add to Mario's incredible edgeguarding prowess, being capable of very powerfully meteor smashing, which can be used effectively against foes recovering high.

Despite his advantages which compensate for his disadvantages, Mario still has some weaknesses that prevent him from being in the higher tiers. His attacks generally have short [[range]], allowing many characters to outspace and out[[camp]] him easily, particularly ones with some [[disjointed]] moves (most notably {{SSB|Kirby}}, Pikachu, and maybe {{SSB|Fox}}). He also lacks a reliable way to deal with projectiles, which combined with his poor mobility, gives him difficulty approaching characters such as Fox. Mario's attacks also aren't very fast, with his best finisher (up smash) having major ending lag, and only very few of his moves (such as up aerial) having notably fast [[startup]]. Mario also isn't too good at dealing with [[pressure]] due to his poor mobility, though he has good [[OoS]] options.

==Differences between game versions==
In his transition to the NTSC-U version, Mario got a mix of buffs and nerfs, but was slightly nerfed overall due to the higher SDI presence. Nevertheless, he is still considered to be viable in competitive play.

===Attributes===
*{{change|Mario is bigger (1.0x → 1.12x). This improves his range but makes him easier to hit.}}
*{{buff|Mario's head is skinnier (Y stretch: 160 → 140), making his head hurtbox a bit smaller. However, he is still slightly taller overall due to his larger model size.}}
*{{buff|Rolls travel farther due to Mario's larger size.}}

===Special attacks===
*{{buff|Fireballs do more damage (6% → 7%).}}
*{{buff|Fireballs travel a longer distance.}}
*{{nerf|Fireballs have less knockback (22 (base), 50 (scaling) → 10/25).}}
*{{buff|Super Jump Punch covers more distance due to Mario's larger size.}}

|game=SSB
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=Left Punch ({{ja|左パンチ|Hidari Panchi}})<br>Right Punch ({{ja|右パンチ|Migi Panchi}})<br>Kick ({{ja|キック|Kikku}})
|neutral1dmg=2%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=4%
|neutraldesc=Mario performs two quick jabs followed by a kick. Due to the speed of his first jab, Mario can perform a [[jab grab]]. This combo is taken directly from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
|ftiltangles=3
|ftiltname=Middle Kick ({{ja|ミドルキック|Midoru Kikku}})
|ftiltupdmg=14%
|ftiltsidedmg=13%
|ftiltdowndmg=12%
|ftiltdesc=Kicks straight forward. Can be angled up or down and it can used for spacing but rarely used due to Mario having better options. Comes out fast with decent range and power, although it has high ending lag.
|utiltname=Uppercut ({{ja|アッパーカット|Appākatto}})
|utiltdmg=10%
|utiltdesc=Performs a spinning uppercut. Mario twirls and punches upwards. Above average knockback scaling for a tilt attack, allowing it to KO at extremely high percentages. It does have low base knockback, meaning it can easily chain into itself or combo into other aerials at around moderate percentages. The move has high ending lag however, which makes the move punishable on hit at lower percents when combined with its low base knockback.
|dtiltname=Spinning Kick ({{ja|スピニングキック|Supiningu Kikku}})
|dtiltdmg=12%
|dtiltdesc=Does a sweep kick forward. Has decent power and surprisingly great range, although it has fairly high ending lag, limiting its effectiveness outside of gimping recoveries in very specific situations.
|dashname=Slide ({{ja|滑り台|Suberidai}}, ''Slipway'')
|dashdmg=12% (clean), 10% (late)
|dashdesc=Does a sliding tackle, taken from ''Super Mario 64''. Above average ending lag and not many followup options. If Mario does this move while holding a battering item, he will instead do a body slide, also from ''Super Mario 64''.
|fsmashangles=3
|fsmashname=Smash Punch ({{ja|スマッシュパンチ|Sumasshu Panchi}})
|fsmashupdmg=18%
|fsmashsidedmg=17%
|fsmashdowndmg=16%
|fsmashdesc=Punches in front of him, his fist enlarging as he does so. Medium speed and average power for a forward smash, though it is slower than his up and down smashes and back throw.
|usmashname=Lead Headbutt ({{ja|スマッシュヘッドバット|Sumasshu Heddobatto}}, ''Smash Headbutt'')
|usmashdmg=19%
|usmashdesc=Headbutts upwards. His whole head becomes intangible for a period of time and it has a very large disjointed hitbox, with extremely high vertical knockback, being one of the strongest up smashes in the game (tied with {{SSB|Luigi}}'s {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}'s and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s). Its high ending lag and somewhat short range horizontally limits its effectiveness however.
|dsmashname=Double Kick ({{ja|ダブルキック|Daburu Kikku}})
|dsmashdmg=17%
|dsmashdesc=Twirls around while breakdancing on both sides. A good KO/edgeguard move, also a decent way to space. Usually used to [[punish]] [[tech]]s/rolls.
|nairname=Mario Kick ({{ja|マリオキック|Mario Kikku}})
|nairdmg=14% (clean), 11% (late)
|nairdesc=Performs a [[sex kick]]. It gets weaker the longer it's out, though when it first comes out, it is a good finisher (though weaker than his forward and back aerials). One of the better neutral aerials overall in the game due to its frame 3 startup and long lasting hitbox.
|fairname=Forward Dropkick ({{ja|前方ドロップキック|Zenpō Doroppukikku}})
|fairdmg=16% (clean), 10% (late)
|fairdesc=Performs a forwards spin kick. Has slow startup lag but it has a decently powerful hitbox when it first comes out. Highly useful against the majority of recoveries in the game. Can combo easily at moderate percentages.
|bairname=Backward Dropkick ({{ja|バックワードキック|Bakkuwādo Kikku}})
|bairdmg=16% (clean), 10% (late)
|bairdesc=Performs a backwards kick. Similar to forward aerial except it has slightly lower startup and a shorter lasting hitbox. Good for edgeguarding, and has good power.
|uairname=Air Slash ({{ja|エアスラッシュ|Ea Surasshu}})
|uairdmg=12% (clean), 9% (late)
|uairdesc=Performs a flip kick. It comes out on frame 2, making it the fastest aerial in the game in terms of startup lag (along with {{mvsub|Luigi|SSB|up aerial|poss=y}}). Knockback direction depends on which angle the foe was hit on. Lower power than most of his moves, but an effective juggling and combo move.
|dairname=Drill Kick ({{ja|ドリルキック|Doriru Kikku}})
|dairdmg=3% (hits 1-8), 24% (total)
|dairdesc=Performs a downward drill kick, 3%/hit, up to 8 hits for a total of 24%. A useful [[meteor smash]]; Similar to {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|down aerial|poss=y}}, it can be used multiple times to ensure that the foe is unable to recover. It has slow startup lag but minimal ending lag compared to other drill kills. Can combo into itself and up aerial easily. It also has solid shield pressuring potential due to its low ending lag. Like other drills, it is heavily SDIable, however.
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=
|fthrowname=Forward Spin Throw ({{ja|前方スピンスロー|Zenpō Supin Surō}})
|fthrowdmg=12%
|fthrowdesc=Performs a Spin throw forward. He quickly swings the foe once and tosses them in front of him. A standard forward throw with decent knockback, though back throw is usually better for KOs. Can easily get opponents offstage. Also usable to [[chaingrab]] in the "tent" portion of Hyrule Castle.
|bthrowname=Airplane Swing ({{ja|ジャイアントスイング|Jaianto Suingu}}, ''Giant Swing'')
|bthrowdmg=16% (throw), 10% (collateral)
|bthrowdesc=Grabs opponent by the legs and swings them until release (similar to his ''Super Mario 64'' [[Bowser]] throw). It has standard knockback for a back throw, being a very reliable finisher. The throw is slow, although Mario's opponent has a hitbox while he spins them around.
|floorbname=
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Gets up and spins.
|floorfname=
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Gets up and spins.
|edgefname=
|edgefdmg=6%
|edgefdesc=Gets up and flips.
|edgesname=
|edgesdmg=6%
|edgesdesc=Slowly gets up and punches.
|nsname=Fire Ball
|nspage=Fireball
|nsdmg=7%, 6% (NTSC-J)
|nsdesc=Throws a fireball, which travels forward and loses momentum with each bounce. Because of this, they are best used in the air, and at higher locations. They can be spammed, though with some difficulty (and at a slower rate of fire than {{SSB|Luigi}}'s), and are a decent approaching tactic. The move can be more efficient when used in the air, falling to meet the enemy at ground level, while still moving, and negating [[lag]].
|usname=Super Jump Punch
|usdmg=5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-8), 3% (hit 9), 15% (total)
|usdesc=Does a jumping uppercut, which causes damage and makes coins fly out of the opponent. Can rack up damage. Mainly used for recovery, with great vertical range and decent horizontal range if aimed forward. Can also be used [[OoS]] and as a combo breaker due to its frame 2 startup lag (where Mario is also [[intangible]]).
|dsname=Mario Tornado
|dsdmg=1% (hits 1-14), 14% (total)
|dsdesc=Does a spinning tornado attack, resembling the Spin Jump from [[Super Mario World]]. Has set knockback. If the lower segment of the final hitbox lands successfully, the move is a [[meteor smash]]. If the B button is pressed repeatedly in midair, Mario will rise upwards. Has no startup lag, although the opponent can easily escape the move.

===Most historically significant players===

:''See also: [[:Category:Mario players (SSB)]]''
 <!--This character has a ten player limit for this section. Before adding and/or removing a player, read these guidelines: https://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Notability#%22Most_historically_significant_players%22_guidelines --> 

*{{Sm|Czar|USA}} - One of the most prominent Mario players in all of ''Smash 64''. He notably placed 5th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}}, defeating {{Sm|Josh Brody}} and {{Sm|Mercy}} with Mario. He additionally marked some of the highest major placements while solely using Mario, with 7th at {{Trn|Keystoned V}} and 13th at {{Trn|Boss Battle 3}}. He is commonly ranked as the best Mario player in recent years, peaking at 34th on the [[2019-2020 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|FAUST|Japan}} - The best Mario player from Japan, but has since been inactive. Has done well playing Mario at events such as 4th at {{Trn|Kanto 2016}}, where he beat {{Sm|Shizuku}}, and two other top 12 placements, namely {{Trn|Kanto 2014}} and {{Trn|Kanto 2017}}.
*{{Sm|Fireblaster|USA}} - A high-level {{SSB|Yoshi}} player who previously used Mario as a co-main. He played both characters in sets, shown with his wins against Mercy and {{Sm|LD}} at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}}, where he placed 5th. He has also made other top 8 placements such as 5th at {{Trn|Shine 2017}} and 7th at {{Trn|Apex 2015}} using both characters. He was previously ranked 36th on the [[2019-2020 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Fruity|Spain}} - One of the most notable European ''Smash 64'' players. Placed 7th at {{Trn|B.E.A.S.T 7}} with solo Mario, as well as 2nd at {{Trn|Vivaldi Autumn}} and {{Trn|Brussels Smash 64 Meetup}} using him as a secondary. He is also active in online weeklies, being ranked 2nd on the February 2023 Online All-Time [[European Smash 64 Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Hydra|USA}} - One of the best solo Mario players in the United States alongside Kimimaru. Most notably placed 5th at {{Trn|Snosa IV}}, where his tournament run included wins over {{Sm|Darkhorse}}, {{Sm|SOMBRERO}}, and {{Sm|cobr}}. He also made major placements with 13th at {{Trn|Snosa III}} and 17th at {{Trn|GENESIS 5}}. Previously ranked 59th on the [[2017 64 League Rankings]] before becoming mainly inactive since early 2019.
*{{Sm|Isai|USA}} - One of the best ''Smash 64'' players of all time, who is efficient with the entire cast. Notably placed 2nd at {{Trn|Apex 2013}} with solo Mario, beating {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}}, {{Sm|Kikoushi}}, and {{Sm|Ruoka Dancho}} at the tournament. His Apex run remains the highest Mario result seen in the history of ''Smash 64''. He has used Mario again at many tournaments, including winning {{Trn|Keystoned V}} and placing 5th at {{Trn|Snosa 5}}. 
*{{Sm|Kimimaru|USA}} - One of the best solo Mario players in the United States alongside Hydra. Placed 9th at both {{Trn|Snosa III}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 5}}, and 17th at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} with overall wins over {{Sm|Shihman}}, {{Sm|SotoH}}, and {{Sm|NaCl}}. Previously ranked 41st on the [[2017 64 League Rankings]] before becoming mainly inactive since early 2018.
*{{Sm|Nintendude|USA}} - Considered one of the best Mario players in the United States before switching to {{SSB|Fox}}. He notably used solo Mario to place 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2013}}, and placed 4th at {{Trn|Zenith 2013}} and 13th at {{Trn|Apex 2014}} with Mario as one of his characters. He took sets over LD and Josh Brody back when he mained Mario.

===Tier placement and history===
Mario was originally seen as a decent character in the early metagame, when he was ranked at 7th in middle tier on the first tier list. This time period includes Mario's best representation with {{Sm|Red}}, a Japanese Mario player who was the character's best representative during the late 2000s, and {{Sm|Nintendude}}, who played frequently well with Mario in North America during the early 2010s. Afterwards, Mario's strengths were reevaluated even further; this was due to Isai's run at {{Trn|Apex 2013}} and the rise of solo-Mario players such as {{Sm|Czar}} and Japan's new best Mario player, {{Sm|FAUST}}. He rose to 5th place in the second and third official tier list, having been seen as a character who had the capabilities to go even with higher-tier characters such as Kirby and Captain Falcon. While he lacked the oppressive neutral and advantage state of the top tiers, Mario commonly worked as a decent co-main, seen with players such as {{Sm|Fireblaster}}, who was put in contention for one of the best Mario players in the world by the mid-2010s. Both Fireblaster and Czar would hit one of Mario best peaks since Isai's Apex 2013 run at the supermajor {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}}, both placing 5th with Mario as their headline character.

However, in the years since the third tier list, some of the most notable Mario mains such as Nintendude and Fireblaster dropped him completely in favor of solo-maining better characters, although other solo-Mario mains such as {{Sm|Hydra}} and {{Sm|Kimimaru}} had very solid Snosa and GENESIS runs during this time. Additionally, Czar would be ranked the highest out of any Mario player on the 64 League Rankings on multiple occasions during the late-2010s. Despite this, Mario's metagame was not evolving at the same rate as characters such as {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, who boasted better results and larger playerbases. This would result in Mario dropping back down to 7th in B tier, the same place he landed on in the first tier list. In the current metagame, most of the best Mario players are currently on hiatus or fail to make notable leeway at big tournaments. However, Mario has seen better chances regionally, shown with {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} winning {{Trn|Crovy Fest}} and {{Sm|JaimeHR}} placing 2nd at {{Trn|Battle At The Border '23}}. As such, it has been shown that Mario's all-rounder abilities still make him a solid character in the grand scheme of ''Smash 64'', but  appearances at the top level have become rare due to being outclassed by numerous characters.

==Techniques==
===Tornado recovery===
Mario can gain vertical distance during the Mario Tornado if the special button is mashed often enough during the attack animation, similarly to the [[Luigi Cyclone]]. However, the button must be mashed much faster than with {{SSB|Luigi}} due to Mario's faster [[falling speed]] and slightly lower maximum height that can be reached from his down special.

===Mario Bros. "pseudo-spike"===
Both Mario and Luigi can "spike" an opponent by repeatedly using their [[down aerial]]s on the opponent when off the edge and then taking advantage of their huge vertical [[recover]]ies to get back to the stage. This does not work against {{SSB|Pikachu}}, who has a much longer and faster vertical recovery than either Mario or Luigi.

===Jab grab===
{{main|Jab grab}}

Mario is one of four characters (along with {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Ness}}, and {{SSB|Luigi}}) that can perform the jab grab, an exploit that allows increased shield [[pressure]]. Mario can exploit the high [[shield stun]] by jabbing, then immediately [[jab cancel]]ling using a grab.

==In 1P Game==
In the game's single-player mode, a player and a randomly chosen ally fight against Mario and {{SSB|Luigi}} in a team battle on [[Peach's Castle]]. If the player hasn't dealt any damage to Mario before defeating Luigi, the player will be awarded with the [[List of bonuses|Bros. Calamity]] bonus, which is worth 25,000 points.

Later on in the single-player mode, [[Metal Mario]], a metallic incarnation of Mario (introduced in ''Super Mario 64''), is featured as a "boss character"  in [[Meta Crystal]]. He is not merely a heavier texture-swap of Mario, as his attacks also deal much more knockback.

==Description==
===From the Game===
''Although best known as the mustachioed plumber who battles the [[Koopa Troopa|Turtle Tribe]] with his distinct jumping action, this internationally famous hero has also acted as a referee, a driver, and even [[Dr. Mario|a doctor!]] He's been linked to [[Princess Peach]] of the Mushroom Kingdom for years, but to this day their true relationship remains a mystery.''
