Mario is ranked 15th out of 26 on the current tier list, placing him in the C+ tier. This is very similar to his previous ranking in ''Smash 64'', where he is ranked 7th out of 12. It also puts him three places lower than his younger brother {{SSBM|Luigi}} at 12th place and two places lower than his clone {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. Like in ''Smash 64'', Mario acts as a well-rounded character, with average attributes across the board. He has above average combo ability due to his fast attack speed, the somewhat low knockback and the angles at which his moves tend to send on, and a very versatile grab game: his powerful back throw can KO most opponents with ease and [[gimp]] some recoveries, while his up and down throws can [[chain-grab]]. Mario also has a solid [[edge-guarding]] game, with a solid projectile in his [[Fireball]], and his [[Cape]] which can easily and efficiently gimp almost every other character's recovery. Mario, however, has few reliable finishers, with many moves with aforementioned low knockback with the exception of his smash attacks. His recovery is also predictable and short, though he can extend it, which leaves him vulnerable to being gimped by characters such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}. His mediocre range also leaves him with trouble against characters with disjointed hitboxes such as {{SSBM|Marth}}.

Overall, Mario has average matchups in tournament play, with favorable matchups against most lower tiered characters though having disadvantageous matchups against higher tiered characters, especially against those who can either gimp or outrange him.

While usually considered an unviable pick at the highest levels of play, Mario is otherwise a serviceable character choice with only a few major flaws.
