'''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') returns as a [[starter character|starter]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was announced at [[E3]] 2001. He also has a [[clone]], {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, with whom he shares a lot of attributes and special moves.


As in ''Super Smash Bros.'', Charles Martinet's portrayal of Mario from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' was re-purposed for ''Melee'', with the ones used in the previous ''Smash'' title returning alongside new ones.
{{cquote|''A well-rounded hero who boasts a balance between offense and defence.'' <br>|cite=Description from ''Melee's'' manual.}}


Mario is ranked 15th out of 26 on the current tier list, placing him in the C+ tier. This is very similar to his previous ranking in ''Smash 64'', where he is ranked 7th out of 12. It also puts him three places lower than his younger brother {{SSBM|Luigi}} at 12th place and two places lower than his clone {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. Like in ''Smash 64'', Mario acts as a well-rounded character, with average attributes across the board. He has above average combo ability due to his fast attack speed, the somewhat low knockback and the angles at which his moves tend to send on, and a very versatile grab game: his powerful back throw can KO most opponents with ease and [[gimp]] some recoveries, while his up and down throws can [[chain-grab]]. Mario also has a solid [[edge-guarding]] game, with a solid projectile in his [[Fireball]], and his [[Cape]] which can easily and efficiently gimp almost every other character's recovery. Mario, however, has few reliable finishers, with many moves with aforementioned low knockback with the exception of his smash attacks. His recovery is also predictable and short, though he can extend it, which leaves him vulnerable to being gimped by characters such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}. His mediocre range also leaves him with trouble against characters with disjointed hitboxes such as {{SSBM|Marth}}.
'''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ}}, ''Mario'') is a [[starter character|starter]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was announced at [[E3]] 2001. He returns from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' without strong buffs or nerfs.


Overall, Mario has average matchups in tournament play, with favorable matchups against most lower tiered characters though having disadvantageous matchups against higher tiered characters, especially against those who can either gimp or outrange him.
Mario is ranked 14th on the current tier list in the A tier, placing him in the center, along with his brother {{SSBM|Luigi}} and five places below his clone, {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. Mario acts as a well-rounded character, with average weight, falling speed and other such attributes. Mario has above-average comboing ability, and a very versatile grab game; his powerful back throw can [[gimp]] recoveries, and his down throw can [[chain-grab]]. Mario also has decent [[edge-guarding]], with [[Fireball]] (a solid projectile), and his [[Cape]] which can easily and efficiently gimp almost every other character's recovery. Mario, however, lacks a reliable finisher, and his recovery is predictable and short, though he can extend it.

As a character, Mario falls under the archetype of being of an all-rounder character, with no particularly strong or weak traits; indeed, in terms of [[weight]], [[falling speed]], [[air speed]], size, and [[dash]] speed, Mario tends to fall in the middle of these attributes.

One of Mario's strengths is his rather good combo ability. While not having an extremely high air or falling speed, Mario can easily and efficiently combo most other characters in the air; Mario has plenty of low lag and low knockback aerials, and the addition of a long [[wavedash]] and fast ground attacks give Mario plenty of combo potential. Mario also has a good [[SHFFL]].

Mario also has a good [[SHFFL]].


Mario also has an above average approach. Despite an only average air speed and dashing speed, Mario still has good options for getting closer to opponents. His Fireballs have good range and can disrupt opponents at a distance; differing terrains such as slopes and platforms can also give the Fireball many options. Mario, due to his average attributes in traction and falling speed, has a rather long and floaty wavedash; coupled with decently ranged smash attacks, Mario has good wavesmashing abilities.

Mario is also a surprisingly good edgeguarder. He has a [[meteor smash]] in his forward aerial, albeit it having high [[startup]] and [[ending lag]] and not being too powerful, and his back aerial sends opponents on a decent angle for edgeguarding. Mario's Fireballs can also [[gimp]] recoveries; its low knockback makes it effective in the regard. Most notably, however, Mario has what is likely the absolute best edgeguarding weapon in all the game: his [[Cape]]. When used, it can effectively and quickly gimp almost every recovery in the game; it's especially useful against linear recoveries, such as Fox's [[Fire Fox]] or Luigi's [[Green Missile]].

Mario also has a surprisingly good grab game. Despite a rather poor grab range, Mario's throws are notable for their versatility; his forward and back throws can easily set up gimp KOs, especially the latter, while his up and down throws can act as combo starters, as well as very effective chain grabs: Mario's up throw can chain grab fast fallers such as {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, while his down throw can chain grab heavy characters, as well as being able to chain grab {{SSBM|Pikachu}} and {{SSBM|Pichu}} up to high percents, if not to a KO.

However, Mario suffers from some KOing problems. He lacks particularly powerful or reliable finishers; while his forward smash has good range, coupled with a very visible and easy to land sweetspot, his other smashes are rather short ranged. Additionally, while Mario's back throw is strong, it requires grabbing the opponent first; this can be a challenge, due to Mario's poor grab range. Mario's single meteor smash is also rather unwieldy and risky to use.

Mario's single meteor smash is also rather unwieldy and risky to use.


Mario also suffers from a below average recovery. Super Jump Punch only grants average to slightly below average horizontal and vertical distance, while [[Mario Tornado]] can only grant vertical distance if the B button is tapped quickly. Mario, however, does have some options to improve his recovery; Mario's Cape can allow him to recover from the sides, and he has the ability to wall-jump, which can act as a help on stages such as Final Destination.

Overall, Mario could be considered a poor-man's Marth. While both characters have great combo ability and a similar recovery, Marth has a much easier time finishing off opponents as well as having longer range in his attacks and his grab range making it much easier for Marth to chain-grab fast-fallers compared to Mario.
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
When making the transition from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', Mario got a mix of [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s, but was neither strongly buffed or [[nerf]]ed. Mario is faster on the ground and he greatly benefits from the introduction of [[air dodging]] giving him a solid [[wavedash]] which makes his grounded movement much more solid overall. The speed of Mario's attacks has been considerably improved as most of his attacks have decreased ending lag and a decent amount of them have decreased startup lag as well, and his new forward smash, a palm thrust that emits a fiery blast, has more range and is more reliable due to the addition of a sweetspot located on the explosion. His edgeguarding has also considerably improved as his back aerial is considerably faster and his up aerial has been retooled to give it more edgeguarding potential. His new side special [[Cape]] also gives him a new powerful edgeguarding tool as well as an extra tool for recovering.
As for his nerfs, Mario's damage output has been decreased and his KO power has been considerably decreased as many of his previous KO moves have been greatly weakened making it far more difficult for Mario to KO his opponents. In particular, his new forward aerial, while now capable of meteor smashing and losing its sourspot, is much slower and weaker and has less range. His strongest KO moves (his forward and down smashes) while faster now have sourspots making them more difficult to use effectively. While Mario has a few new options to recover such as his cape and [[wall jump]], his recovery is overall worse (especially when relative to the cast) as his air speed is slower, he falls faster, his fireballs are smaller making them a worse option to wall out opponents while recovering and his [[Super Jump Punch]] travels less distance making him easier to edgeguard.
Overall, Mario is largely a much weaker character as his damage output is lower, his combo game is weaker in some aspects and many of his previous KO moves can no longer KO under 90-120%. In exchange, his attacks are much faster and his grounded movement has been improved especially due to the introduction of wavedashing. Mario remains in a similar spot on Melee's tier list and he overall struggles against higher tiered characters limiting his success in competitive play.
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|The graphical upgrades of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] allow for a more detailed appearance of Mario. His physique looks much more similar to its official art, while his red cap and shirt are slightly darker and the seams on his overalls are more accentuated.}} He also has a slightly darker skin tone, and his hair and shoes are a much darker brown color.
*{{change|Mario's green alternate costume from ''Smash 64'' is now accessible through normal battles instead of just Team Battles.}}
*{{change|Mario gains a new [[victory pose]]: he makes a fire and when the fire disappears, Mario strikes a pose. It replaces his hopping victory pose in ''Smash 64''.}}
===Attributes===
*{{buff|Mario [[walk]]s much faster (0.8 (24) → 1.1).}}
*{{buff|Mario [[dash]]es slightly faster (1.467 (44) → 1.5).}}
**{{nerf|However, Mario's initial dash is much slower (1.8 (54) → 1.5) and covers less distance.}}
*{{buff|Mario's [[traction]] is slightly higher (0.0533 (1.6) → 0.06), making it easier for him to punish [[out of shield]].}}
*{{nerf|Mario's [[jumpsquat]] is longer (3 frames → 4).}}
*{{nerf|Mario's [[air speed]] is slower (1 (30) → 0.86 (NTSC) / 0.83 (PAL)).}}
*{{nerf|Mario's [[air acceleration]] is lower (0.0667 (2) → 0.045), though it's no longer the slowest in the game.}}
*{{nerf|Mario's [[jump]] height is extremely lower (45.33 (1360) → 29), going from the 6th highest out of 12 characters to the 4th lowest out of 26.}}
**{{change|Mario's [[short hop]] is also drastically lower (26.6067 (798.2) → 11.025). This improves his ability to hit opponents low on the ground with short hop aerials, as well as his ability to quickly land and continue aerial pressure, but also hinders his ability to [[auto-cancel]] his aerials and performing two aerials in a short hop.}}
*{{change|Mario's [[gravity]] is higher (0.08 (2.4) → 0.095).}}
*{{change|Mario [[falling speed|falls]] faster (1.467 (44) → 1.7), improving his vertical endurance but making him more susceptible to combos.}}
**{{nerf|However, Mario's [[fast fall]]ing speed is slightly slower (2.333 (70) → 2.3). The difference between his falling speed and fast falling speed is much lower (increase: 59.1% → 39.3%), which makes it more predictable when landing and gives him fewer options in the air.}}
*{{nerf|Exclusively to the PAL version, Mario's [[weight]] is lower (100 (1) → 98).}}
*{{buff|Mario now has the ability to [[wall jump]], improving his recovery.}}
*{{buff|The introduction of [[air dodging]] benefits Mario overall as he can now [[wavedash]]. His wavedash is overall solid due to his short jumpsquat/average traction; improving his movement options.}}
===Ground attacks===
*[[Neutral attack]]:
**{{buff|Both the first and third hits deal more damage (2% (hit 1)/4% (hit 3) → 3%/5%).}}
**{{buff|The first two hits now have [[set knockback]] (8 (base), 50 (scaling) → 20 (set)/100), and their angles have been altered (361° (hit 1)/70° (hit 2) → 83°/85° (both)), allowing them to connect more reliably.}}
**{{buff|The first two hits transition into the later hits sooner (frame 10 (hit 1)/8 (hit 2) → 6 (both)).}}
**{{buff|All hits have less ending lag (FAF 18 (hit 1)/20 (hit 2)/26 (hit 3) → 16/19/23).}}
**{{nerf|Mario can no longer cancel the first hit into [[grab]].}}
**{{nerf|The second hit has a shorter duration (frames 3-5 → 3-4)}}
**{{nerf|The third hit has more startup lag (frame 3 → 5).}}
**{{change|The third hit no longer has [[Priority#Moves that cannot rebound|anti-rebounding priority]].}}
*[[Forward tilt]]:
**{{buff|Forward tilt has less startup (frame 8 → 5) and ending lag (FAF 43 → 33).}}
**{{nerf|It has a much shorter duration (frames 8-17 → 5-7).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (14% (up)/13% (side)/12% (down) → 10%/9%/8%) and has decreased base knockback (10 → 6), significantly hindering its KO potential.}}
***{{nerf|Additionally, the down angled variant now has very weak set knockback (1), making it extremely punishable on hit at any percentage.}}
*[[Up tilt]]:
**{{buff|Up tilt has less startup (frame 5 → 4) and ending lag (FAF 42 → 30).}}
**{{buff|It now launches opponents towards Mario (86° → 96°).}}
**{{nerf|It has a shorter duration (frames 5-16 → 4-12).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (10% → 8%).}}
**{{change|It has more base knockback but lower knockback scaling (0 (base), 150 (scaling) → 26/125).}}
***{{buff|This along with its lower ending lag makes it much safer on hit at lower percents.}}
***{{nerf|However, this along with its lower damage also hinders its KO potential.}}
*[[Down tilt]]:
**{{buff|Down tilt has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 35).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% → 8%/9%) and knockback (0 (base), 100 (scaling) → 10/80).}}
**{{nerf|It has a shorter duration (frames 5-11 → 5-8).}}
**{{nerf|Mario no longer moves forward while using it, giving it much less range.}}
**{{nerf|It now launches opponents vertically (361° → 80°). This hinders its spacing potential while not granting it combo potential due to its low power and high ending lag.}}
*[[Dash attack]]:
**{{buff|Dash attack has less startup (frame 8 → 6) and ending lag (FAF 41 → 38).}}
**{{nerf|The late hit has a shorter duration (frames 12-28 → 10-25).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% (clean), 10% (late) → 9%/7%).}}
**{{nerf|It has more base knockback but lower knockback scaling (16 (base), 100 (scaling) → 70/50 (clean), 10/100 → 45/30 (late)), hindering its KO potential.}}
**{{change|It now launches opponents behind Mario (361° → 110° (clean)/120° (late)).}}
*[[Forward smash]]:
**{{change|Mario has a new forward smash: he leans forward and thrusts his hand in front of him, emitting a small fiery explosion from his palm.}}
**{{buff|It has less startup (frame 16 → 12) and ending lag (FAF 54 → 42); now matching {{SSBM|Luigi}}'s version.}}
**{{buff|The fire hitbox deals more damage (18% (up)/17 (side)%/16% (down) → 19%/18%/17%).}}
***{{nerf|However, it deals less knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 25/95), hindering its KO potential despite its higher damage.}}
**{{nerf|The non fire hitboxes deal less damage (18% (up)/17 (side)%/16% (down) → 15%/(11%/10%)/13%) and knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 25/96).}}
*[[Up smash]]:
**{{change|Up smash's animation has been altered with Mario now taking a massive step forward as he leans for the headbutt.}}
***{{buff|The animation change gives the move more horizontal range than before.}}
***{{buff|It also gives the move significantly less ending lag (FAF 60 → 40) than before.}}
***{{nerf|However, Mario no longer performs a small jump, reducing its vertical range.}}
**{{nerf|It has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 7-15 → 9-11).}}
**{{nerf|It grants less [[intangibility]] to Mario's head (frames 7-10 → 9-11).}}
**{{nerf|It deals much less damage (19% → 15%), knockback (26 (base), 120 (scaling) → 32/97), and launches at a slightly lower angle (85° → 83°). This greatly hinders its KO potential; no longer being one of the strongest up smashes.}}
*[[Down smash]]:
**{{buff|Down smash has less startup lag (frame 8 → 5) and a shorter total duration (FAF 45 → 38).}}
**{{nerf|It has a much shorter duration due to now possessing a front hit and a back hit rather than a constantly active hitbox (frames 8-29 → 5-6 (front), 14 (back)).}}
***{{nerf|This also gives the move more ending lag as its total duration was not fully compensated (now having 23 frames of cooldown as opposed to 15).}}
***{{buff|However, this also allows the move to hit twice.}}
**{{nerf|The front hit deals less damage (17% → 16%) and knockback (20 (base), 100 (scaling) → 40/75), significantly hindering its KO potential.}}
**{{nerf|The back hit deals much less damage (17% → 10%/12%) and knockback (20 (base), 100 (scaling) → 35/75), drastically hindering its KO potential.}}
===Aerial attacks===
*{{nerf|Due to his lower short hop, Mario can no longer auto-cancel neutral, forward or down aerials in a short hop, nor can he perform two aerials in a short hop.}}
**{{nerf|When combined with the weakening of [[L-canceling]] and the reduction to [[shieldstun]], this hinders the combo potential, shield pressuring potential and safety of Mario's aerials.}}
*[[Neutral aerial]]:
**{{buff|Neutral aerial has less ending lag (FAF 50 → 46).}}
**{{buff|It auto-cancels slightly earlier (frame 37 → 36).}}
***{{nerf|However, it no longer auto-cancels as soon as its hitboxes are no longer active.}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (14% (clean)/11% (late) → 12%/8%) without full compensation on its base knockback (15 (clean)/0 (late) → 20/15).}}
**{{nerf|It has a shorter duration (frames 3-10 (clean)/11-36 (late) → 3-6/7-32).}}
**{{nerf|It has more landing lag (14 frames → 16).}}
*[[Forward aerial]]:
**{{change|Mario has a new forward aerial: an overhanded downward swing with an enlarged fist; officially referred to as "Meteor Knuckle".}}
**{{change|It is now a [[meteor smash]] (361° → 280°).}}
***{{buff|This significantly improves its combo potential against grounded opponents.}}
***{{nerf|However when combined with the introduction of meteor cancelling, this significantly hinders its reliability.}}
**{{buff|It has less landing lag (30 frames → 21).}}
**{{nerf|It has noticeably increased startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 11-26 → 18-22).}}
**{{nerf|It has much more ending lag (FAF 40 → 60).}}
**{{nerf|It has a much longer animation (39 frames → 74).}}
**{{nerf|It auto-cancels later (frame 27 → 43).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (16% → 15%) and knockback (10 (base), 100 (scaling) → 30/70), significantly hindering its KO potential.}}
**{{nerf|It has less range.}}
*[[Back aerial]]:
**{{change|Back aerial has a new animation where Mario kicks more sideways with his right side facing up, instead of kicking backward face-down. Mario also recovers differently without curling up into a flip.}}
***{{buff|This new animation is much shorter (39 frames → 28), decreasing its ending lag (FAF 40 → 29), as well as the amount of time Mario cannot grab the ledge after using the move.}}
**{{buff|It has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 10-19 → 6-17).}}
***{{buff|When combined with its decreased ending lag, this makes it a more effective tool for [[edgeguarding]] and [[wall of pain]]s.}}
***{{nerf|However, the clean hit has a shorter duration (frames 10-13 → 6-8).}}
**{{buff|It auto-cancels slightly earlier (frame 20 → 19).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (16% (clean)/10% (late) → 11%/9%), greatly hindering the clean hit's KO potential.}}
***{{buff|The late hit has increased base knockback (0 → 7) although this does not fully compensate for its reduced damage.}}
*[[Up aerial]]:
**{{buff|Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 30).}}
**{{buff|It has much less landing lag (40 frames → 15).}}
**{{change|Its angle has been altered (80° (clean)/70° (late) → 55°).}}
***{{buff|This grants the move edgeguarding potential.}}
***{{nerf|However, this significantly hinders its combo and juggling potential removing one of Mario's most powerful combo tools.}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% → 11%) and has decreased knockback scaling (120 → 100).}}
**{{nerf|It has more startup lag with a shorter duration due to no longer having a late hit (frames 2-4 (clean)/5-11 (late) → 4-9). It is no longer the fastest aerial in the game in terms of startup lag.}}
**{{nerf|It auto-cancels later (frame 12 → 16).}}
*[[Down aerial]]:
**{{buff|Down aerial has a shorter total duration (FAF 39 → 38).}}
**{{buff|It has less landing lag (36 frames → 23).}}
**{{buff|It now has a landing hitbox.}}
**{{nerf|Each hit deals less damage (3% → 2%), greatly reducing the move's maximum damage potential (24% → 12%).}}
**{{nerf|Due to hitting seven times instead of eight:}}
***{{nerf|It has a shorter duration (frames 10-11, 13-14, 16-17, 19-20, 22-23, 25-26, 28-29, 31-32 → 10-11, 13-14, 16-17, 19-20, 22-23, 25-26, 28-29), increasing its ending lag.}}
***{{nerf|It no longer auto-cancels as soon as its hitboxes are no longer active.}}
**{{nerf|It is no longer a meteor smash (-70° → 94°), removing its edgeguarding potential and making it connect less reliably.}}
**{{nerf|The weakening of L-cancelling combined with the move losing its ability to auto-cancel in a short hop and with it gaining a landing hitbox has significantly hindered down aerial's followup potential.}}
***{{nerf|These changes combined with the changes to shieldstun and its lower damage have drastically hindered down aerial's shield pressuring potential; no longer being able to lead into [[shield break combo]]s.}}
===Throws/other attacks===
*[[Grab]]s:
**{{buff|Mario now has a [[pummel]], [[up throw]] and a [[down throw]], increasing his options out of a grab. He can also [[chaingrab]] characters with said throws.}}
**{{nerf|Grabs have more startup lag (frame 6 → 7 (standing), 11 (dash)) and ending lag (FAF 16 → 31 (standing), 41 (dash)).}}
**{{change|Mario's throws are now weight dependant.}}
*[[Forward throw]]:
**{{buff|Mario releases opponents from forward throw earlier (frame 14 → 12) and it has less ending lag (FAF 31 → 28).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% → 9%) and knockback (80 (base), 70 (scaling) → 60/65).}}
*[[Back throw]]:
**{{buff|Back throw's collateral hit has much less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 18-44 → 1-43).}}
**{{change|Mario releases opponents from back throw slightly earlier (frame 45 → 44).}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage (16% → 12%) and knockback (70 (base), 70 (scaling) → 80/65), making it much weaker.}}
**{{nerf|The collateral hit deals less damage (12% → 10%).}}
**{{nerf|It has slightly more ending lag (FAF 66 → 67).}}
**{{nerf|It has been hindered greatly by the introduction of [[DI]], as opponents now have ample time to correctly DI the throw and survive it for even longer.}}
===Special moves===
*[[Fireball]]:
**{{buff|Fireball has less startup (frame 16 → 14) and ending lag (FAF 46 → 44).}}
**{{buff|Fireballs travel faster.}}
**{{change|Fireballs can only bounce two times instead of three although it still covers the same amount of distance when used on the ground.}}
**{{nerf|Fireballs are smaller, reducing their hitbox.}}
**{{nerf|Fireballs have a much shorter maximum duration (frames 16-154 → 14-88).}}
***{{nerf|These changes combined with Mario's faster falling speed greatly hinders the moves use as an offensive recovery tool.}}
**{{nerf|Fireballs deal less damage (7% → 6%) and have decreased base knockback (10 → 5).}}
*[[Cape]]:
**{{change|As with all returning veterans, Mario now has a side special; Cape. It is based on the cape feather power-up in [[Super Mario World]]. It can reflect projectiles as well as reverse an opponent's direction if it hits them. It also gives Mario a slight boost when used in the air. This gives Mario an option to deal with projectiles; as well as an additional edgeguarding and recovery option.}}
*[[Super Jump Punch]]:
**{{buff|Super Jump Punch can now be cancelled with a wall jump near the apex of the move, aiding Mario's recovery if he is close to a wall.}}
**{{nerf|It deals slightly less damage (16% → 15%).}}
**{{nerf|It has more startup lag (frame 2 → 3).}}
***{{nerf|Its intangibility also has more startup lag (frame 2 → 3).}}
**{{nerf|It has more landing lag (25 frames → 30).}}
**{{nerf|It grants Mario noticeably less distance, worsening its recovery potential.}}
**{{change|The first hit has increased set knockback (110 → 130).}}
**{{change|Hits 2-5 have increased set knockback (100 → 110/150).}}
**{{change|Hits 6-9 no longer have consistent set knockback (100 → 90/120).}}
**{{change|The final hit has altered knockback (0 (base), 170 (scaling) → 40/140).}}
*[[Mario Tornado]]:
**{{buff|Mario Tornado has less ending lag (FAF 87 → 80).}}
**{{buff|Mario travels slightly faster when using it on the ground.}}
**{{buff|The first and final hit deal more damage (1% (both) → 2% (hit 1)/5% (hit 8 ground)/3% (hit 3 air)).}}
**{{buff|The last hit no longer has set knockback (120 (base), 1 (set), 0 (scaling) → 60/0/115 (ground), 70/120 (air)), allowing it to KO at high (albeit unrealistic) percentages.}}
***{{nerf|However, this hinders its safety at lower percents.}}
**{{buff|The loop hits have longer durations (1 frame → 2).}}
**{{change|The first hit's angle has been altered (180°/90° → 140°).}}
**{{change|The loop hits have decreased base knockback (70 → 40).}}
**{{change|The 7th hit's angle has been altered (180° → 100°).}}
**{{change|The final hit's angle has been altered (90° → 80°).}}
**{{nerf|It has significantly more startup lag (frame 1 → 8), greatly hindering its utility.}}
***{{nerf|In addition to this, the first hit has altered knockback (70 (base), 1 (set) → 0/40). As a result, it prevents it from causing hitstun.}}
**{{nerf|Due to hitting up to only 8 times instead of 14:}}
***{{nerf|Its maximum damage potential is slightly lower (14% → 13% (ground)/11% (air)).}}
***{{nerf|It has a much shorter duration (frames 1-4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43-44 → 8-9, 12-13, 15-16, 18-19, 21-22, 24-25, 27-28, 38-39).}}
**{{nerf|The aerial version's final hit can no longer meteor smash opponents, significantly hindering its edgeguarding potential.}}
**{{nerf|There is now a small delay before the last hit, allowing foes to escape the attack more easily.}}
**{{nerf|Mario's faster falling speed and gravity makes the move less effective as a recovery tool.}}
***{{nerf|Due to these changes, the move is now considered to be nearly useless besides for recovering, and as a situational vertical launcher.}}
==Version history==
Mario was nerfed in the [[PAL]] version of ''Melee''. As most higher tier characters were nerfed as well, his viability remains similar.
'''NTSC 1.01'''
*{{nerf|Fireball no longer increase speed when used off slopes at certain angles.}}
'''PAL'''
*{{nerf|Mario is slightly lighter (100 → 98).}}
*{{nerf|Mario's air speed was reduced even further (0.86 → 0.83).}}

===Taunt===
Mario grows to a super size, as if taking a [[Super Mushroom]] power-up, before shrinking again. This also increases the size of his hurtbox. The size increase stacks with special matches and actual super mushrooms. It is the second longest taunt in ''Melee''.


===Stats===
==Changes from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee''==
'''NTSC'''
When making the transition from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', Mario was neither strongly [[buff]]ed nor strongly [[nerf]]ed. Overall, Mario is largely a much weaker character, proof as many of his previous killers, such as his up and down smashes, can no longer KO under 90-120%. However, his attacks are much faster, giving him better combo ability.

*{{Sm|Mango|USA}} - Once mained Mario under the tag "Scorpion Master" and occasionally used him in side events or online tournaments. While his Mario is known as a sort of [[sandbagging]] character, he has shown prominence with the character, placing 2nd at {{Trn|Good Shit German}} and garnering the character's best wins with {{Sm|HugS}}, {{Sm|SilentSpectre}}, and {{Sm|Westballz}} while under the alias.
*{{Sm|Matt Deezie|USA}} - One of the first tournament organizers seen in ''Melee'' and the best Mario player in the world in the game's first two years. Placed top 6 at a few [[Tournament Go]] events with his best being 3rd at {{Trn|Tournament Go 2}}. He eventually switched to playing {{SSBM|Fox}} before retiring from competitive ''Melee'' altogether.
*{{Sm|SchlimmShady|Germany}} - Formerly the best Mario player in Europe prior to switching to {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. He was previously ranked top 10 through several power rankings in Germany, peaking at 7th in April 2016. He placed well at many regionals such as 17th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2017}} and 25th at {{Trn|B.E.A.S.T 6}} and {{Trn|B.E.A.S.T 7}}.


===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Very early in the ''Melee'' [[metagame]], when few players knew the potential of now-top tier characters, Mario was considered one of the best characters in the game, ranking as high as 5th on the first tier list. This could be attributed to Mario's simple but effective [[combo]] setups, strong attacks, low learning curve, and lack of any outstanding drawbacks due to his well-rounded toolkit, as well as his extendable [[recovery]].  
Very early in the ''Melee'' [[metagame]], when few players knew the potential of now-top tier characters, Mario was considered one of the best characters in the game, ranking as high as 5th on the first tier list. This could be attributed to how easy Mario was to learn, given his simple but effective [[combo]] setups and lack of any outstanding drawbacks due to being well-rounded, as well as his extendable [[recovery]]. As the metagame advanced, however, Mario's problems with KOing and average statistics were magnified as the potentials for many other superior characters, such as {{SSBM|Peach}}, {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, and the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, were discovered. This caused Mario to slowly slip down the tier list as time progressed, as well as lose significant placing in large tournaments; eventually, {{Sm|Mango}} (under the alias "Scorpion Master") was the only person who placed anywhere significant with him, but even he rarely placed high enough to earn money from playing Mario, cashing in at 25th place at [[Apex 2010]] instead of his usual top 8 placements when using better characters. On the current tier list, he ranks 14th place at the very bottom of the A tier; in an ironic twist of fate, his clone, {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, and semi-clone, {{SSBM|Luigi}}, who were once widely considered worse than Mario, have surpassed him in ranking.
 
As the metagame advanced, however, Mario's average statistics were magnified as many other players discovered superior characters's potential, such as {{SSBM|Peach}}, {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, and the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}. This caused Mario to slowly slip down the tier list as time progressed, as well as his metagame to quickly stagnate in return. A primary example comes from {{Sm|Mango}}, who, under the alias "Scorpion Master", was the only person who placed highly at majors and supermajors. Even so, he rarely placed high enough to earn money from playing Mario, cashing in at 25th place at [[Apex 2010]] instead of his usual top 8 placements when using better characters. Other Mario mains like {{Sm|A Rookie}} and {{Sm|KoopaTroopa895}} have either failed to place consistently highl in majors and supermajors, dropped Mario for better characters, or have stopped playing entirely, resulting in his metagame stagnating. Conversely, Mario's semiclones like {{SSBM|Luigi}} and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} have had their respective metagames pushed in a deeper scale compared to Mario, with {{Sm|Shroomed}} (and later, Franz) achieving consistently high placements in majors while {{SSBM|Luigi}} players have achieved consistent top 64 placements in numerous majors.
 
On the current [[tier list]], he ranks 15th place in the C+ tier. Since the post-Slippi era, Mario has failed to live up to his early successes in the 2000s to early 2010 era and his metagame has continued to remain rather stagnant, while characters like {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} and {{SSBM|Link}} have had their own metagames continued to be pushed. While Mario is widely agreed to not be a terrible character, he is considered to be outclassed overall, with most players considering his semiclones of Luigi and Dr. Mario widely considered superior in regards with their advantages states and neutral games.

Mario is featured in the following [[event match]]es:
*'''[[Event 1: Trouble King]]''': The player plays as Mario and fights against {{SSBM|Bowser}} on {{SSBM|Battlefield}}.
*'''[[Event 1: Trouble King]]''': The player plays as Mario against {{SSBM|Bowser}} on the Battlefield stage, with a 2-minute time limit and both players having 2 stock each.
*'''[[Event 10: All-Star Match 1]]''': Mario is the first opponent to be fought in this series of staged battles. The player battles him on {{SSBM|Yoshi's Island}}, which will transition to the next stage if Mario gets defeated. With a timer of four minutes, the player must defeat him along with {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, {{SSBM|Peach}}, and Bowser.
*'''[[Event 10: All-Star Match 1]]''': Mario is the first opponent the player must fight in this series of staged battles. Their character battles him on the {{SSBM|Yoshi's Island}} stage, and the player's character has 2 stock while Mario has 1. With a timer of four minutes, the player must defeat him and the other four characters with the overall time and life the player has: {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, Peach, and Bowser.
*'''[[Event 19: Peach's Peril]]''': Mario must protect Peach from a slightly larger Bowser on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}. Both Mario and Peach have 1 stock each while Bowser has infinite lives.
*'''[[Event 19: Peach's Peril]]''': As Mario teamed up with Peach with 1 stock each, the player must ensure both of the characters survive the vicious assaults of the enemy Bowser on the {{SSBM|Final Destination}} stage for one minute. Score is determined by how many times the player can KO Bowser in this time frame, as he has infinite stock.
*'''[[Event 22: Super Mario 128]]''': The player chooses any character and must defeat a total of 128 tiny Marios on [[Mushroom Kingdom II]].
*'''[[Event 22: Super Mario 128]]''': This match pits the player's 1-stock character in a wild endurance match on the Mushroom Kingdom II stage, where they must battle 128 tiny Marios that rain down from the sky and come at the player five at a time. Each Mario is light in the extreme, so just about any attack from any character will KO a Mario.
*'''[[Event 25: Gargantuans]]''': A scenario designed as a homage to {{s|wikipedia|kaiju}} movies and their various tropes. On the [[Fourside]] stage, with unlimited time, the player plays as a giant-sized Bowser (as "Godzilla") with 1 stock against a giant-sized Donkey Kong (as "King Kong") with 2 stock. A tiny Mario and a tiny Peach are also present in this match, who usually gets KO'd in one hit.
*'''[[Event 31: Mario Bros. Madness]]''': The player's character battles a team of Mario and Luigi in a 2-minute unlimited-stock match in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage. Whoever gets the most KOs wins, much like in a standard time-match.
*'''[[Event 31: Mario Bros. Madness]]''': The player chooses any character and must fight Mario and {{SSBM|Luigi}} in a two-timed match on {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}}. The player must have the most points within the two minutes to clear this event.
*'''[[Event 38: Super Mario Bros. 2]]''': In this match, the player's character must battle against Mario, Luigi, and Peach in an unlimited-time 2-stock match on Mushroom: Kingdom II. The odds may seem especially stacked against the player, but the opponent team is subject to friendly fire. The character selection and stage are a direct throwback to the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', an NES sequel to ''Super Mario Bros.''
*'''[[Event 38: Super Mario Bros. 2]]''': The player chooses any character and must defeat Mario, Luigi, and Peach in a two-stock match on [[Mushroom Kingdom II]]. Both the characters and the stage are a direct throwback to the original ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', an NES sequel to ''Super Mario Bros.''
