Editing Mario (SSBB)

**{{nerf|The last hit has more startup with a shorter duration (frames 5-9 → 7-10) and more ending lag (FAF 23 → 30).}}

*[[Forward tilt]]

**{{buff|Forward tilt deals more base knockback (6 → 8 (up and non-angled)/13 (down)), and no longer deals minimal [[set knockback]] (1 → 0) when angled down.}}

**{{buff|It has less ending lag (FAF 33 → 25).}}

**{{nerf|Its has a shorter duration (frames 5-8 → 5-7).}}

*[[Dash attack]]

**{{change|Dash attack no longer has consistent angles (110° → 110°/80° (clean), 120° → 120°/70° (late)).}}

*[[Forward smash]]

**{{change|Forward smash's animation has been slightly changed. Mario rears back more while standing on one leg during the charging animation, while stepping and leaning forward upon unleashing the move and having his right arm positioned lower.}}

**{{nerf|It has more startup with a shorter duration (frames 12-16 → 16-18) and more ending lag (FAF 42 → 48).}}

**{{nerf|Its sweetspot deals less damage across all angles (19% (up)/18% (non-angled)/17% (down) → 18%/17%/16%) and has less knockback scaling (95 → 90), resulting in it KOing about 14% later.}}

*[[Up smash]]

**{{change|Up smash's animation has been altered, being a mixture of its animations in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' and in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'': during the headbutt, Mario performs a small jump and does a step forward.}}

**{{nerf|It deals less damage (15% → 14%) and has decreased knockback scaling (97 → 90), hindering its KO potential even with the universally decreased falling speeds.}}

*[[Down smash]]

**{{nerf|Its front hit deals less damage (16% → 15%) and has less knockback scaling (75 → 73), hindering its KO potential.}}

{{MovesetTable

|neutralcount=3

|neutral1dmg=3%

|neutral2dmg=2%

|neutral3dmg=4%

|neutraldesc=Performs a one-two combo and then kicks with his right foot. The attack [[combo]] originates from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. The first hit comes out very quickly on frame 2 and it can [[jab lock]] characters laying on the ground. It is overall a very solid jab due to its speed and jab locking potential.

|ftiltdmg=8%

|ftiltdesc=Performs a reverse roundhouse kick with his right leg. It has low startup and ending lag along with average [[damage]], [[knockback]] and range. Can be angled up or down. It is overall a fairly solid forward tilt.

|utiltdmg=7%

|utiltdesc=Delivers an uppercut while spinning. The move is similar to an attack in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}''. Low startup and ending lag, average damage and above-average knockback. An excellent [[juggle]]r that can be comboed into itself at low percents. It can also KO at higher percents, being Mario's his strongest tilt. Overall a useful move.

|dtiltdmg=5% (foot), 7% (leg)

|dtiltdesc=Performs a legsweep. Even though this move has low startup lag and overall a decent range, it deals low damage, has high [[ending lag]] and low vertical knockback. This means that when Mario connects the move, the opponent almost always has the advantage overall him. The move is flat out [[Punishment|punishable]] on hit all the way up to mid percents or even high percents, depending on the opponent's character. As a result, it is Mario's least effective move and is also considered to be one of the worst moves in the game.

|dashdmg=9% (clean), 7% (late)

|dashdesc=Performs a sliding tackle. Also from ''Super Mario 64''. Has low diagonal knockback behind Mario that is difficult to follow up on. It has low startup lag and a long duration, but it does not cover a ton of distance at a quick speed, making dash attack fairly unspectacular overall.

|fsmashangles=3

|fsmashupdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|18}} (fire)

|fsmashsidedmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|14}} (arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|17}} (fire)

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|14}}

|usmashdesc=Sends opponents skyward with a headbutt. For an up smash, it has relatively low startup and ending lag. It has serviceable knockback, KOing Mario at around 124% on Final Destination, making it another finisher. Mario's head is [[intangible]] while the [[hitbox]]es are active. All these factors make his up smash a fairly solid move overall.

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (front), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (back)

|dsmashdesc=Performs a flare kick. Like Mario's other attacks, it has low startup and ending lag but short reach. Another attack from ''Super Mario 64''. It is Mario's weakest yet fastest smash attack, coming out on frame 5 which is very fast for a down smash. The front hit is much stronger than the back hit. A solid down smash overall.

|nairdmg=10% (clean), 5% (late)

|nairdesc=Performs a [[sex kick]] in the air. Similar to an attack from ''Super Mario 64''. It comes out very quickly on frame 3, which makes it useful to escape combos combos but it has short reach. Has overall unspectacular power but it has low landing lag and its low power can be used to set up locks from a missed tech.

|fairdmg=12% (early), 13% (clean), 10% (late)

|fairdesc=Performs a delayed overhand. This is a slow [[meteor smash]] with low power if it is sweetspotted. If the move is landed early or late, the opponent will be send horizontally with more or less knockback (depending on if it was hit early or late). In addition to its slow startup lag, surprisingly low power and difficulty to land, the move has high ending lag and landing lag and it cannot auto-cancel in a short hop. Altogether, these factors make forward aerial a very difficult move to land in addition to making it very unsafe to use, making it one of the least effective forward aerials and single hitting meteor smashes in the game, especially since there are much faster and safer meteor smashes which are also stronger.

|bairdmg=12% (clean), 7% (late)

|bairdesc=Dropkicks backward. It has very fast startup lag, low ending and landing lag, decent range and serviceable knockback, which makes it one of Mario's most useful moves. Can [[wall of pain|WoP]] at low to mid percentages and KO Mario at around 164% from the center of Final Destination.

|uairdmg=11%

|uairdesc=Performs a bicycle kick. Very low startup and ending lag with low knockback. It works very well as a juggler at low to mid percentages, although it has short reach. It can also KO opponents horizontally at very high percents if they are close to the horizontal blast zone. Overall a very useful move.

|dairdmg=1% (hits 1-5), 7% (hit 6), 2% (landing)

|dairdesc=Performs several discus spinning clotheslines followed by a backfist body stretch. Like his down special in earlier games, it looks somewhat like the Spin Jump from various ''Mario'' games, originating in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is a multi-hit attack with low startup and ending lag, as well as a decent auto-cancel window. The final hit does decent vertical knockback, KOing at very high percents. The first five hits have set knockback and the move has a landing hitbox which deals horizontal set knockback. It is overall a useful move, being a quick move to rack up damage and set up juggles although it has short horizontal range, the multi hits can be SDIed out of and even it the opponent does not SDI out, they can still avoid the final hit if they have a very fast aerial or a move with intangibility during its first few startup frames.

|grabdesc=A clinch grab. Mario's grab range is short.

|pummeldmg=3%

|pummeldesc=Headbutts opponent. One of the slowest pummels in the game.

|fthrowdmg=9%

|fthrowdesc=Spins around once then throws his opponent in front of him. It has below average knockback scaling for a throw, KOing Mario at around 167% at the ledge, and completely lacking KO power from further away. It is mostly only used to set up an edgeguard.

|bthrowdmg=12% (throw), 8% (collateral)

|bthrowdesc=Spins around three times then throws his opponent backwards. It is similar to when Mario grabs Bowser by the tail, and then swings him around in an attempt to throw him into the bombs in ''Super Mario 64''. While a very slow throw, he can damage other characters with the character he is swinging around. This is by far Mario's strongest throw, and it can KO Mario as low as 111% at the ledge, and at 179% from the center of Final Destination. While powerful for a throw, it is very slow, making it very easy to DI, limiting its KO potential, although as the throw is weight dependent, this is harder for lighter characters to perform. It is Mario's most damaging throw.

|uthrowdmg=8%

|uthrowdesc=Throws his opponent high into the air. High base knockback but it has low knockback scaling. KOs at 189%. Arguably his least useful throw.

|dthrowdmg=6%

|dthrowdesc=Slams his opponent into the ground. Mario's weakest throw. Its vertical trajectory allows it to set up an up aerial juggle with a successful [[read]], but the opponent is put into tumble at 0%, which allows them to air dodge any potential followups.
