===Fighters===
*[[File:MarioIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Mario (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Mario}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): Mario returns as a starter character, now having his appearance being based on Nintendo 64-era artwork. When making the transition from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', Mario was neither strongly buffed nor strongly nerfed. This again makes him a balanced fighter without any glaring advantages or disadvantages. He can now wall jump just like in his games, and is now given a [[side special]], which is the [[Cape]] from ''Super Mario World''. The Cape reflects projectiles and spins characters in the opposite direction.{{clr}}

*[[File:LuigiIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Luigi (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Luigi}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): Luigi returns as an unlockable character, whose appearance is once again based on his design in Nintendo 64-era artwork. Luigi is no longer a full on clone of Mario, but is considered a semi-clone. This is because he gained a few new neutral attacks. Luigi also gained a side special, which is [[Green Missile]]. This move can be charged, and once let go, Luigi is launched sideways like a rocket, causing damage. Luigi is notable for having the longest [[wavedash]] in the game. Overall, Luigi got a slight buff compared to his previous appearance.{{clr}}

*[[File:PeachIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Peach (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Peach}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom who usually gets kidnapped and must be rescued by Mario. She first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.'', where she needed to be rescued from the evil Bowser. In ''Melee'', Peach is a new starter character, with her appearance being based around Nintendo 64-era artwork. She is a lightweight character with the unique ability to hover in the air when holding the jump button. Her neutral special is {{b|Toad|move}}, a counterattack where she pulls out [[Toad]] to reflect damage. Her side special is [[Peach Bomber]], a horizontal attack where Peach attacks with her hip. Her up special is [[Peach Parasol]], where Peach pulls out her parasol to slowly float down. Peach's down special is [[Vegetable]] which is based on a way to attack in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Peach would pull out a turnip (occasionally an item) from the ground, and throw it at opponents.{{clr}}

*[[File:BowserIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Bowser (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Bowser}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): Bowser is the main antagonist of the ''Mario'' franchise who first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Bowser constantly tries to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom with his army of Koopa Troopas, Goombas, and others. In ''Melee'', Bowser is a new starter character, whose appearance is based on ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Mario Kart 64''. Bowser wields great power and bulk, but is lacking in agility due to his heavy weight. His neutral special is [[Fire Breath]], an attack taken directly from ''Super Mario 64'' where Bowser breathes fire in front of him. His side special is [[Koopa Klaw]], where Bowser slashes and bites his opponent. His up special is [[Whirling Fortress]], which is loosely based on the [[Koopalings]] going in their shells and spinning sideways. Bowser's down special, [[Bowser Bomb]], comes from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' where Bowser would jump up and perform a ground pound.{{clr}}
