The '''Mario Finale''' ({{ja|マリオファイナル|Mario Fainaru}}, ''Mario Final'') is [[Mario]]'s [[Final Smash]] attack. It consists of Mario launching a powerful two-streamed blast of fire, which hits many times. It expands vertically as it moves away from Mario. As the blast moves away from him, opponents that come in contact with the vortex are knocked slightly to the side, and are thus forced to travel with it. Opponents that are in the center of the vortex are more easily trapped by it. The [[Super Smash Bros. Dojo!!|''Dojo!!'']] suggests to move to one side of the level and use it while in mid-air. Mario recoils slightly when he does the attack, but he is unaffected by gravity until the move ends, so it is mostly insignificant.

As the blast moves away from Mario, opponents that come in contact with the vortex are knocked slightly to the side, and are thus forced to travel with it. Opponents that are in the center of the vortex are more easily trapped by it. The [[Super Smash Bros. Dojo!!|''Dojo!!'']] suggests to move to one side of the level and use it while in mid-air. Mario recoils slightly when he does the attack and he is unaffected by gravity until the move ends. A small amount of damage and knockback is inflicted if Mario is close enough to his foe during the startup animation and just before the vortex comes out, enabling them to be vulnerable to the whole attack. If opponents are behind Mario, they will still be pulled into the attack.  


Each time a fireball hits an opponent, it does 3% or 2% damage, depending on whether it was the larger fireball or the smaller one. The move is capable of hitting about 7.5 times a second, although this is unlikely due to the speed the fireballs spin at and the knockback delivered. Despite being a powerful Final Smash, it has one major flaw: if the opponents are far away from Mario, they can avoid the attack by jumping over it (especially high jumpers such as [[Fox]] or [[Yoshi]]). However, it makes up for it by inflicting damage on a wide range of multiple enemies and pushing them back quite some distance without allowing recovery, possibly even dragging opponents off the side.

The maximum distance of the Mario Finale reaches approximately from the edge of {{SSBB|Final Destination}} to the a spot right before the [[blast line]]. Since opponents are dragged along the length of the attack, it is best to not initiate from the end of a stage.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the move [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9_zsNOPfsg appears to have gained a new graphical effect with more "accentuated" fire].
Platforms hit by the attack will have a small fire graphic on them for a short while afterwards; however, this fire is purely for visual effect and causes no damage.
==Origin==
[[File:Ultra Flame.png|thumb|The Ultra Flame move from Mario RPG]]


Mario Finale resembles Mario's attack "{{s|supermariowiki|Ultra Flame}}" from ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}''. The attack involves Mario shooting a barrage of powerful fireballs that damage all the enemies on the screen. Many fire-based attacks Mario had in the games are derived from his ability to shoot fireballs. The move otherwise does not have a clear origin beyond being a culmination of Mario's famous pyrokinesis abilities.
===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
The move has gained a new graphical effect with more "accentuated" fire. It also deals more damage and dramatically slows down opponents now, making it much harder to dodge the attack, especially at close range. However, it is harder to pull opponents into the rest of the Final Smash if they are behind Mario. The ability to hit opponents before the vortex comes out was also removed.


==''[[Brawl]]'' Manual description==
===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
The move slows down opponents more and for longer at the beginning of the attack. However, it has substantially decreased knockback, which makes it KO foes around 25% later and worsens it overall. To nullify this, the range and damage (each hit doing 0.5% more) of the move was buffed in patch 8.0.0, making it significantly more powerful, now dealing about 75%, and allowing it to KO a bit earlier than before.

Mario Finale (マリオファイナル, Mario Final) is Mario's Final Smash. It consists of him launching a powerful two-streamed blast of fire that expands vertically as it flies forwards.

Overview[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As the blast moves away from Mario, opponents that come in contact with the vortex are knocked slightly to the side, and are thus forced to travel with it. Opponents that are in the center of the vortex are more easily trapped by it. The Dojo!! suggests to move to one side of the level and use it while in mid-air. Mario recoils slightly when he does the attack and he is unaffected by gravity until the move ends. A small amount of damage and knockback is inflicted if Mario is close enough to his foe during the startup animation and just before the vortex comes out, enabling them to be vulnerable to the whole attack. If opponents are behind Mario, they will still be pulled into the attack.

Each time a fireball hits an opponent, it does 3% or 2% damage, depending on whether it was the larger fireball or the smaller one. The move is capable of hitting about 7.5 times a second, although this is unlikely due to the speed the fireballs spin at and the knockback delivered. Despite being a powerful Final Smash, it has one major flaw: if the opponents are far away from Mario, they can avoid the attack by jumping over it (especially high jumpers such as Fox or Yoshi). However, it makes up for it by inflicting damage on a wide range of multiple enemies and pushing them back quite some distance without allowing recovery, possibly even dragging opponents off the side.

The maximum distance of the Mario Finale reaches approximately from the edge of Final Destination to the spot right before the blast line. Since opponents are dragged along the length of the attack, it is best to not initiate from the end of a stage.

Platforms hit by the attack will have a small fire graphic on them for a short while afterwards; however, this fire is purely for visual effect and causes no damage.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

The move has gained a new graphical effect with more "accentuated" fire. It also deals more damage and dramatically slows down opponents now, making it much harder to dodge the attack, especially at close range. However, it is harder to pull opponents into the rest of the Final Smash if they are behind Mario. The ability to hit opponents before the vortex comes out was also removed.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The move slows down opponents more and for longer at the beginning of the attack. However, it has substantially decreased knockback, which makes it KO foes around 25% later and worsens it overall. To nullify this, the range and damage (each hit doing 0.5% more) of the move was buffed in patch 8.0.0, making it significantly more powerful, now dealing about 75%, and allowing it to KO a bit earlier than before.

Origin[edit]

Mario using the Ultra Flame move from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Mario Finale vaguely resembles the attack Ultra Flame from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, later renamed to Ultra Fireball in the Nintendo Switch remake. It is the final special move Mario learns by leveling up, and the strongest of the three fire moves available to him. The attack involves Mario shooting a barrage of swirling, powerful fireballs that damage all the enemies on the screen. Mario Finale otherwise has no clear origin but rather takes inspiration from Mario's pyrokinetic abilities.
