In almost all of the games Mario is in, he is very balanced, and Super Smash Bros. Melee is no exception. Mario is well-rounded in terms of [[weight]], [[falling speed]], [[air speed]], size, and [[dashing|dash]] speed. Mario's smash attacks do decent damage, and he can rack up damage by easily comboing his opponents. On the downside, most of Mario's KOs require a setup, and he does not have a reliable finisher. Mario has a decent [[edgeguard]]ing projectile ([[Fireball]]) that can also set up approaches, but this is his only ranged move. Mario's up and down throws can be used to [[chaingrab]] fastfallers (and a few other characters), and his back throw can hit groups of opponents. His forward aerial is a powerful [[meteor smash]], but it is slow. Mario can also [[wall jump]], and he has good [[juggle|juggling]] abilities. Mario's recovery is very poor in comparison to other fighters', but his [[cape]] (in addition to being able to turn opponents around and reflect projectiles) can help this problem. Alongside [[Luigi]] and [[Dr. Mario]], he has one of the strongest [[Back throw]]s and he can accompany it by [[edge-hogging]] for a quick [[gimp kill]]. | In almost all of the games Mario is in, he is very balanced, and Super Smash Bros.

==Techniques== | |||
*Rising Tornado | |||
*Full Jump to Dair to Uair - This move is a very good combo approach/start. Perform the drill early enough so the u-air can be performed. | |||
*Up-B Wall Jump - On Yoshi's Story, if you are sent off and don't think you can recover with the normal recovery of Mario ( Cape to Jump to Up-B ), use the Up-B as a normal jump towards the wall and Wall Jump, this move takes a bit of practice and is both usable in the NTSC and PAL version of Melee. | |||
*Cape Edgeguard - When recovery of opponent is easy to predict use the cape to turn him around so that he doesn't return and so that he does the opposite. This technique is not appropriate for some characters such as, Sheik, Marth, Yoshi, and Ness. | |||

In the game's single-player Adventure mode, Mario teams up with [[Peach]] against you in the second part of the first stage, taking place on [[Princess Peach's Castle]] - but if you finished the previous segment, [[Mushroom Kingdom Adventure]], with the remaining time registering 2 in the seconds digit, [[Luigi]] will take his place in a cutscene that will trigger right before this battle. Later on in the second-to-last stage of Adventure, [[Metal Mario]] will fight your character on the [[Special Stages: Battlefield|Battlefield]] stage, where he functions as simply a Mario permanently under the influence of the [[Metal Box]] item. If you unlocked [[Luigi]], Metal Mario will be joined by [[Metal Luigi]], and they both team up on you, making for a harder fight. | In the game's single-player Adventure mode, Mario teams up with [[Peach]] against you in the second part of the first stage, taking place on [[Princess Peach's Castle]] - but if you finished the previous segment, [[Mushroom Kingdom Adventure]], with the remaining time registering 2 in the seconds digit, [[Luigi]] will take his place in a cutscene that will trigger right before this battle.

:"''Known worldwide as Mr. Nintendo, Mario uses his incredible jumping ability to thwart the evil Bowser time after time. While he's best known as a hero, Mario has played many roles, including racer, doctor, golfer, and villain. His tastes have changed over 20 years of gaming; he long ago swapped the colors of his shirt and overalls. '' | |||
