Mario

The world-famous plumber. He can be called a standard character, one with no strong weaknesses. With a good balance of speed and skill, he can handle a variety of battle situations. As a result, the player's skill will become significantly more important.

(Pros)

• Has no real weaknesses or vulnerabilities.
• Good jumping height.
• Has a good balance of different types of abilities.

(Cons)

• Has no real strengths or advantages.
• Mobility such as dashing speed is not so good.
• Does not have a strong special move.

Uppercut (strong up attack)
Smash Headbutt (up smash)
Air Slash (up air attack)

• These moves will knock the opponent upwards.
• If used well with knowledge of the target's accumulated damage,
  you can keep the opponent in a combo.
• Examples: Smash Headbutt → Uppercut × α
  → Air Slash (from jump)→ Air Slash (from double jump)

Taunt (L button)

• Mario's taunt makes him humongous. As well as being obvious,
  it ends when the enlarged hurtbox is hit, and it's very well-liked.
• Also, this seems to be the longest taunt?

▲ドーンとね。

Giant Swing (back throw)

• The Giant Swing back throw
  can hit other enemies using the one you're throwing.
• It has very high power for a throw, though I like to use it because it looks cool.

▲It's hard with those short limbs.

Fireball (normal special move)

• A projectile that bounces on the ground.
• When it hits an enemy or item, reaches the end of its life,
  or bounces lower than a fixed height it disappears.
• Since the fireball falls, shooting in the air
  will hopefully extend the distance and coverage.
• Easily destroys Motion-Sensor Bombs.

Super Jump Punch (up special move)

• An impressive rising punch. Can be used to recover.
• Hits up to 9 times; a coin will pop out for every hit.
  ...you cannot earn a 1-Up by collecting coins.
• At the start of the move, Mario is invincible for 4 frames.
  This is when the strongest part of the attack is.
• When the move is over, the dropping pratfall state is entered.

※Dropping pratfall:A state where you cannot jump or use any attacks.
See technique 37.

Mario Tornado (down special move)

• Involves spinning the enemy around, tossing them straight up at the end.
• Hits with both arms when you're on the ground,
  while when you're in the air there are additional hitboxes on the head and feet.
• The hitboxes on the arms hit those on the right to the left and those on the left to the right.
  As a result, the opponent is trapped.
• By pounding the B button, you can float in the air a little.
  If you are even slightly in the air, the aerial hitboxes are used.
• While spinning, you have limited side-to-side movement.
• If Mario has you caught in this,
  keep flicking the stick left or right,
  so you might escape by hit stop shift.

▲Hitboxes in the air (red). Hits on the ground with only the arms.
