Lastly, some minor weaknesses Mario might also suffer from include a lack of reliable burst options, as due to the small size of his hitboxes, none of his moves (with the exception of up special and neutral aerial) can function reliably as a safe approach or get-off me option against characters that can pressure him well such as {{SSBU|Fox}} or Sonic. Mario might also struggle to get back from ledge as his ledge options slow and predictable, making him vulnerable to getting ledge trapped. While Mario possesses a remarkable air game thanks to his high airspeed, his ground game can sometimes be rather limited due to his dash being slightly below average in speed and his aforementioned range problems, which means he's usually going to rely on rising aerials or grabs to start his combo game which can be predictable. | Lastly, some minor weaknesses Mario might also suffer from include a lack of reliable burst options, as due to the small size of his hitboxes, none of his moves (with the exception of up special and neutral aerial) can function reliably as a safe approach or get-off me option against characters that can pressure him well such as {{SSBU|Fox}} or Sonic.

Overall, Mario has many clear strengths and very few exploitable 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 inspite of his respectable edgeguarding game, as one exploit of his defenses can cause him to be unable to recover. | Overall, Mario has many clear strengths and very few exploitable glaring weaknesses, resulting in said strengths outweighing said weaknesses.
