'''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was suggested to appear in the then unnamed ''Ultimate'' in its first [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Gt42kVgCw teaser trailer] at the end of the March 8th, 2018 [[Nintendo Direct]], and officially announced in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o E3 2018 trailer] on June 12th, 2018 alongside the rest of the returning roster.

As in ''[[Smash 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Mario from ''[[Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate'' in all regions. | |||

Finally, and due to the favorable angles his moves send at, his tremendously quick frame data and his extensive amount of combo starters, Mario's combo ability is fantastic, and it is also worth noting that several of Mario's moves can [[lock]], including his neutral attack. This makes it almost always imperative for Mario's opponent to [[tech]] all attacks at low to mid percentages when needed; otherwise, Mario can capitalize on the opportunity, and tack on unavoidable massive damage in the process. | Finally, and due to the favorable angles his moves send at, his tremendously quick frame data and his extensive amount of combo starters, Mario's combo ability is fantastic, and it is also worth noting that several of Mario's moves can [[lock]], including his neutral attack.

Despite Mario's numerous strengths, he is not flawless. His attributes, while well-rounded, are not exactly exceptional, as many characters outclass him in various ways. Notable examples of this include {{SSBU|Pikachu}} having a more versatile edgeguarding game, {{SSBU|Luigi | Despite Mario's numerous strengths, he is not flawless. His attributes, while well-rounded, are not exactly exceptional, as many characters outclass him in various ways. Notable examples of this include {{SSBU|Pikachu}} having a more versatile edgeguarding game, {{SSBU|Luigi}} having better combo potential, {{SSBU|Steve}} having a superior camping game, {{SSBU|Sonic}} having substantially faster mobility, {{SSBU|Bowser}} having significantly stronger attacks, {{SSBU|Snake}} having a much more effective recovery, and {{SSBU|Shulk}} having drastically larger reach. In particular, the last one is his main weakness: his attacks generally possess unimpressive range. | ||
His lack of reach prevents him from fighting at a safe distance and consistently forces Mario to approach characters on his own. This leads to having some difficulty against characters with large or [[disjointed]] range, particularly weapon users like {{SSBU|Lucina}} and {{SSBU|Cloud}}. As such, he will need to rely on close-quarters combat in order to fight decently against characters with disjoints. While back air is Mario's most effective spacing tool, it too suffers from a mediocre range that limits its utility against disjointed attacks. | |||
Mario can also have some difficulty scoring KOs, as he has few strong and reliable finishers and has difficulty landing them, further compounded by his short reach, which limits his options, and a notable lack of KO confirms: outside of forward smash and up smash, none of his other KO moves are very reliable and consistently effective for doing what they're supposed to: his down smash can only KO reliably with its back hit and is unsafe on shield, Super Jump Punch can only KO at very high percentages or close to the blast zones, his back aerial has short range, his down aerial can sometimes have trouble connecting, his back throw is very slow and thus easy to DI, and his forward aerial is slow and must be sweetspotted (mid hit) in order to meteor smash, while the early hit and late hit (first and last active frame, respectively) have too much ending lag to be used as a combo extender while still being unreliable for killing due to their rather low knockback. Because of this, Mario tends to rely too much on his forward and up smashes or reads to score a KO, and his inconsistent KO potential is further worsened by the changes to rage, which hinders him more than other characters, as it doesn't increase knockback as much as in ''SSB4''. Since it also no longer affects set knockback, he can't use his Super Jump Punch as a KO confirm at low percents anymore if he has high rage, similarly to {{SSBU|Samus}}'s [[Screw Attack]]. Because of this, he must keep his forward and up smashes fresh and be careful to not get predictable especially with the existence of [[stale-move negation]]. While his forward and up smashes are considered among the best of their type, they have their flaws too: the former has a sourspot located on Mario's arm, which, while very difficult to hit with, it outprioritizes the sweetspot and has rather mediocre power, while the latter has poor range in front of him, and thus it can have trouble in hitting small or crouching characters. | |||
Lastly, | While his Fireball is useful in the neutral game for stopping approaches and is a decent edgeguarding tool, it's relatively weak for spacing and has noticeable ending lag, making it rather situational in comparison to other projectiles. Lastly, despite being known for his jumping ability (hence his original nickname, Jumpman), Mario's recovery is easy to gimp and is quite predictable. Despite his fast air speed and high double jump, Super Jump Punch, while fast and relatively safe, travels a merely average amount of distance altogether. This means that if Mario is knocked off stage without his double jump, he is extremely vulnerable to edgeguarding, and one hit could be all it takes to kill him. This also leaves Mario very vulnerable to semi-spikes, as they will likely launch him too far to recover at high percentages. Aside from Super Jump Punch, Mario has no other recovery options aside from utilizing [[Cape]]'s momentum stalling as a mix-up. Nevertheless, Super Jump Punch still offers a serviceable amount of recovery ability and can get the job done, should it be used properly. | ||
Overall, Mario has many clear strengths and very few glaring weaknesses, resulting in said strengths outweighing said weaknesses. All in all, his above average mobility and largely reliable combo ability allows him to get the edge easily against most characters, as it is hard to escape from his wrath once he gets the advantage, while it is also easy for him to escape from his opponents’ wrath and regain the advantage. However, because of his low range, Mario must almost always fight in close quarters, and he often relies on [[read]]s to secure KOs. Mario has to be very careful off-stage as well in spite of his respectable edgeguarding game, as one exploit of his defenses can cause him to be unable to recover. Throughout the course of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame, Mario has seen amazing results from players like {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|Prodigy}}, {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|MastaMario}}, {{Sm|Lui$}}, {{Sm|Teb}} and others, and as a result, he’s widely agreed to be among the best characters in the game. | |||

Mario has received a few direct noteworthy buffs. [[Fireball]] has reduced endlag, a slightly larger hitbox, and inflicts more hitlag on opponents, greatly improving its safety and follow-up potential. [[F.L.U.D.D.]] has reduced ending lag and a stronger pushback effect as a result of its increased set knockback, allowing Mario to disrupt and edgeguard opponents with it more effectively. As a result of his buffed specials, Mario's approach and already oppressive edgeguarding ability have been improved. A few of his standard attacks have received buffs as well; [[forward tilt]] is much more effective as a spacing option due to its higher base knockback, lower ending lag, and the increased [[shieldstun]] for [[tilt attack]]s. Additionally, his [[down aerial]] connects more reliably than before and deals increased damage and knockback, improving its damage-racking capabilities and KO potential. [[Forward smash]] also deals consistent damage across all angles, and when angled up or down, has increased knockback scaling, slightly improving its already impressive KO potential even further. | Mario has received a few direct noteworthy buffs.

Mario also benefits heavily from the changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s mechanics. His already strong set of aerials has been improved even further as a result of the universal reduction to [[landing lag]]; this not only makes them safer on shield despite the reduced shieldstun on aerial attacks, but it allows for more reliable combos and even devastating KO setups, such as [[up aerial]] into [[forward aerial]]. This is complemented by the universal 3-frame [[jumpsquat]], with his [[up throw]] in particular becoming a much more effective combo starter as well. The universal increase to mobility further improves Mario's approach and allows him to string attacks together more effectively and close in on opponents more effectively. Lastly, the changes to [[air dodging]] further improve his excellent edgeguarding ability, and give him a situational recovery alternative to his predictable [[Super Jump Punch]]. | Mario also benefits heavily from the changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s mechanics.

However, Mario has also received noteworthy nerfs. A notable detriment to his toolkit is the universal nerfing of [[grab]]s; while his throws' excellent utility and his potentially devastating throw combos from ''SSB4'' remain, the increased startup on his dash and pivot grabs, the increased ending lag of all of his grabs and the reduced range on his dash grab make it harder for Mario to make use of his | However, Mario has also received noteworthy nerfs. A notable detriment to his toolkit is the universal nerfing of [[grab]]s; while his throws' excellent utility and his potentially devastating throw combos from ''SSB4'' remain, the increased startup on his dash and pivot grabs, the increased ending lag of all of his grabs and the reduced range on his dash grab make it harder for Mario to make use of his bountiful grab game. Furthermore, his neutral game, while still solid, has been toned down due to changes to some of his best moves in neutral. For example, his [[up tilt]], one of his most pivotal moves, has had altered hitbox placements with much shorter horizontal range, which significantly hinders its use as a reliable follow-up from his [[down throw]] at any percent against most characters, worsening both their combo potential and Mario's punish ability, as this was considered his most effective damage racking option, although this is partially compensated by up throw's improved combo potential at low percents. His [[dash attack]] can also no longer serve as a powerful [[2 frame punish]] that leads into a [[stage spike]], due to its late hit's angle being altered to send opponents away from Mario rather than towards him, the new animation gives him less protection overall and his forward tilt has lost its locking potential. On top of this, [[Super Jump Punch]] sweet spots edges 3 frames later, to the point of causing Mario to land on the stage and become much more vulnerable if he doesn't use it at a far enough distance, and due of the changes to [[rage]], it is much less effective for taking out stocks off the upper [[blast line]] below high percents. In combination with the changes to air dodging, this acts as a double-edged sword for Mario; while they still make him efficient at edgeguarding, these changes render it more effective for other characters to edgeguard Mario. | ||
Overall, Mario retains all of his strengths from ''SSB4'' | Overall, Mario retains all of his strengths from ''SSB4'': his extreme combo ability, impressive frame data, serviceable recovery with a high jump height and air speed, and excellent edgeguarding ability. However, his playstyle is fundamentally different due to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s reworked mechanics, requiring different strategies to achieve the same level of effectiveness that his previous incarnation was capable of, which combined with the higher playstyle diversity among the cast, results in a slightly higher learning curve and cerebral curve. So far, Mario has earned a competitive presence that is just as strong as in ''SSB4'', with increasingly strong results by notable players such as {{sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|Kurama}}, {{sm|MastaMario}}, {{sm|Teb}}, and {{sm|Zenyou}}, and his perception has remained very positive since launch, with the majority of top players agreeing that Mario is a solid top-tier character. As a result, Mario is one of the few ''SSB4'' top-tier characters alongside {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, {{SSBU|Sonic}}, and {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} who continues to earn great representation and has been placing consistently well at tournaments overall. | ||

Update 2.0.0 made his dash attack send opponents at a lower angle, improving its edgeguarding ability and gave the Final Smash Meter version of Mario Finale a slightly higher knockback multiplier. Update 3.0.0 brought the aforementioned nerf to Fireball, making it deal less shield damage, but also made it so that opponents close to Mario Finale were slowed down more. And finally, 8.0.0, made Mario Finale deal more damage and have more vertically stretched hitboxes, increasing its range and making the move harder to escape. | Update 2.0.0 made his dash attack send opponents at a lower angle, improving its edgeguarding ability and gave the Final Smash Meter version of Mario Finale a slightly higher knockback multiplier.

|utiltdesc= | |utiltdesc=Does a quick jumping uppercut. Effective for comboing into itself at low percents, and into aerial attacks from mid to high percents; however, the former combo can be escaped with the proper combination of [[DI]] and [[SDI]], and can be punished on hit at very low percents. Unlike in ''SSB4'', the move's altered animation results in the hitbox being positioned fairly high to the ground on the first frame it is active, creating a blind spot and making it fairly difficult or even impossible to hit shorter or crouching characters with the move. It appears to be based on the second hit of the [[mariowiki:List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Mega Glove]]'s combo from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. | ||

|dtiltdesc=A | |dtiltdesc=A leg sweep. A reliable combo starter that works at a wider range of percents than up tilt, at the cost of being less consistent due to its different hitboxes, and unable to combo into itself as effectively. It can also hit ledge hangs and combo off from ledge as well. | ||

|fsmashdesc= | |fsmashdesc=Steps back and does a palm thrust that produces a small explosion. Though it is Mario's slowest ground attack, coming out on frame 15, it is among the quicker forward smashes and considered among the best in the game for several reasons: It is Mario's most powerful KO move when sweet spotted, KOing as low as 65% by the ledge, the fireball itself is disjointed, can be angled downwards or upwards to hit ledge hangs, and the start-up animation has Mario pull back his hurtbox deceptively far, inadvertently allowing him to avoid several attacks. However, the sweet spot is out prioritized by the sour spot. | ||

Its quick startup at frame 9 makes it a useful out of shield option, as well as being difficult to react to if the opponent is within its range. His head is intangible while its hitboxes are active, giving it pseudo-disjointed range. Its hitboxes reach behind Mario a good distance but do not reach as far in front of him, thus having trouble hitting short or crouching opponents in front of him. It has very fast interruptibility for its strength, at frame 40, and its damage output is also just enough to make it difficult for most characters to punish out of shield. | ||

|dsmashdesc= | |dsmashdesc=The Sweep Kick from ''Super Mario 64''. Mario does a breakdance kick that hits both sides. Mario's fastest smash attack, coming out as fast as all his tilts, and both hits [[semi-spike]] opponents, though the frontal hit is rather weak in comparison to the back hit. Also capable of hitting ledge hangs. The animation in ''Ultimate'' more closely resembles Mario's breakdance from ''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''. | ||

It also has solid use in matches with more than one player, as the collateral hit has a large range and high knockback. Due to its slow speed, it is easy to DI, causing it to KO only above 160%.

==In [[ | ==In competitive play== | ||
Upon the release of ''Ultimate'', Mario was regarded as an average mid-tiered character. This was seen through his poor range, which was impacted more in the game due to swordfighters and character with disjoints being reworked; swordfighters especially were among the best characters in the early metagame. Furthermore, many players noted the nerfs to Mario's combo game, his best tool in ''Smash 4''. As a result, Mario's reception was initially mediocre. | |||
Despite this, Mario always had solid representation thanks to players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, [[Smasher:Kurama|Kurama]], {{Sm|MastaMario}}, and {{Sm|Lui$}}. Dark Wizzy, in particular, has consistently placed in Top 8 at many national tournaments including {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, {{Trn|Glitch 8}}, and {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. In addition, Kurama defeated {{Sm|MkLeo}} at {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}} in a 3-0 fashion. These results have significantly improved Mario's reception among professionals to the point where most players consider him to be top-tier. Furthermore, some of his hardest matchups, such as {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Marth}}, and {{SSBU|Cloud}}, were considerably nerfed, and were less of a problem to deal with. | |||
Due to his better reception, Mario's nerfs from ''Smash 4'' did not affect him in the long run as players noted that all his strengths from the previous game, despite being nerfed, were mostly retained. His matchup spread is also great: Mario has positive matchups against meta-relevant characters like {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBU|Mega Man}}, {{SSBU|Olimar}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and {{SSBU|Wario}}, while only having a few troublesome matchups, such as {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Palutena}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|Shulk}} and Cloud. | |||

*The segment during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct focusing on his new Builder suit features Mario knocking {{SSBU|Squirtle}} off of a {{s|mariowiki|Pipe}} on [[Mushroomy Kingdom]]. This is likely a reference to the series' common [[Koopa Troopa]] enemies, which are also turtles. | |||

**Mario is also the only character to vocalize at all in the character trailers, whereas every other character's trailer has their voices muted. | |||
**Additionally, Mario and {{SSBU|Yoshi}} are the only characters to vocalize in the "Everyone Is Here!" trailer. | |||
*This is the first game where Mario no longer has his Wario-based alternate costume since the first game, and the first since ''Brawl'' where Mario no longer has a Fire Flower-based alternate costume, possibly to make room for his Builder and Wedding Tuxedo-based outfits. | |||
*Coincidentally, five of his alternate costumes (his default, Golf, [[Waluigi]], Builder and Wedding outfits) also appeared in ''Super Mario Odyssey.'' Dr. Mario (portrayed here as his own character) also appeared in ''Odyssey'' as an outfit. Only his cyan/pink, white/black, and green/brown costumes do not appear in ''Odyssey.'' | |||
*Conspicuously, some of Mario's alternate costumes can be slightly changed depending on the facial expressions with the eyebrows and the eye color when comparing the Default, Builder, and Wedding as an example. | *Conspicuously, some of Mario's alternate costumes can be slightly changed depending on the facial expressions with the eyebrows and the eye color when comparing the Default, Builder, and Wedding as an example. | ||
**The eyebrows of Mario | **The eyebrows of Mario appears to be a little inwards as for the Default or the other alts. With the Builder and the Wedding, the eyebrows noticeably goes more outwards when zooming in. | ||
**The eye can obtrusively have different vibes depending on the eye colors. The Wedding Mario has a bit darker eye color than the Builder and the Default. The change in the colors is mostly due to the more slight irregularities in the render on Mario. | **The eye can obtrusively have different vibes depending on the eye colors. The Wedding Mario has a bit darker eye color than the Builder and the Default. The change in the colors is mostly due to the more slight irregularities in the render on Mario. | ||
*Mario is the only character in World of Light that appears in every cutscene featuring the presence of a fighter and is also the only character to appear in the dark ending where Dharkon emerges victorious. | |||
**Due to his presence in every cutscene, as well as his status as the first character unlocked in World of Light, Mario loosely fills the role of co-protagonist or deuteragonist in the mode. This reflects [[The Subspace Emissary]], where Mario and Kirby were the first characters to be playable, with Mario being attacked and removed and Kirby being more prominent during the early portions of the mode. | |||
*Mario, {{SSBU|Ken}} and {{SSBU|Bowser}} are the only characters that are Neutral type when fighting them in World of Light. | |||

*If Mario gets hit hard in the head, there's a chance his face will flatten. This is the same expression used whenever he gets [[Screen KO]]'d. This also happens with Dr. Mario. | |||
*When fighting off the fifty puppet fighter army as Master Hand in World of Light, Mario is one of the eight fighters fought there, being affiliated with Galeem. | |||
*A running meme in the ''Smash'' community is how Mario always seems to "die" (or have a situation similar to death) in a lot of character reveal trailers, including when {{SSBU|Ridley}} snatched him and crushed his neck with his claws in Ridley’s reveal trailer, when he was punched by {{SSBU|Sonic}} into the ''Minecraft'' universe which resulted in him being blown up by a [[Creeper]] in {{SSBU|Steve}}'s trailer, and when he was seemingly impaled by {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s sword in Sephiroth's trailer. This also includes minor deaths like being blown up by a [[Bob-omb]] in the [[Vault Boy]] Mii Costume trailer. | |||
**Furthermore, Mario is also seen "dying" in Dharkon's ending of World of Light. | |||
*When KO'd by reaching 0 HP during his final stock in [[Stamina Mode]], Mario uses one of his heavy knockback voice clips rather than his standard KO voice clip. He shares this trait with {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} and all vocal DLC fighters except for {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, and {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s Japanese voice. | |||
