Marth returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', as with all previous characters. He uses a more detailed version of the ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' design from ''SSB4'', and now has a different hairstyle to match his more recent appearances in titles such as ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}''. Like in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', Marth is an unlockable character. Hikaru Midorikawa returns to voice Marth with new voice clips for the first time since ''Brawl''. | Marth returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.

Like in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', Marth is an unlockable character. ''Ultimate'' is the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' game in which Marth is dubbed in English in overseas versions, specifically by {{s|wikipedia|Yuri Lowenthal}}, his English voice actor in all appearances from {{uvm|Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.}} onwards. In Japanese, Hikaru Midorikawa returns to voice Marth with new voice clips for the first time since ''Brawl''. | ||
As Marth was a high or top tier character in all of his previous appearances, he received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'', but was nerfed overall. While he received buffs both directly and from some universal changes, the faster pace of ''Ultimate'' combined with the removal of micro spacing techniques like [[perfect pivot]]ing makes it much more difficult to land his tipper sweetspots. He also received several direct nerfs: his jab is no longer an effective combo starter, and his sourspots are much weaker. Some buffs were tweaked a bit for Marth as an instance, they've made his tippers a bit bigger or easier to hit, but this didn't really improve Marth very much. As a result of these nerfs, Marth sees little representation in tournaments, with many players considering him outclassed by Lucina. | As Marth was a high or top tier character in all of his previous appearances, he received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'', but was nerfed overall.

*Marth | *Prior to ''Ultimate'', Marth was one of only three playable characters in the game that spoke Japanese in the Western localization of the game (a trait he shares with Roy and {{SSB4|Cloud}}), despite the fact the ''Fire Emblem'' games (including one of his own) started seeing overseas releases. The first game to grant him an official English voice actor ({{s|wikipedia|Yuri Lowenthal}}) was ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.}}'', which was released after both versions of ''Smash 4''; Lowenthal's first ''Smash'' performance as Marth was in ''Ultimate''. | ||
