Mario has an above-average matchup spread, as he is not as harshly countered by top tier characters like other mid-tiered characters are. He is countered by two characters ({{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}) soft countered by eight characters, has four even matchups, soft counters three characters, counters seven (including {{SSBM|Pikachu}} and {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, despite them being 6 and 3 places higher, respectively), and hard counters one, {{SSBM|Pichu}}. Mario tends to struggle against characters who can space him easily or edgeguard him, such as {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, and tends to do well against characters who he can combo or chaingrab (especially {{SSBM|Pichu}}). Overall, Mario has the tools to take on most of the cast. | Mario has an above-average matchup spread, as he is not as harshly countered by top tier characters like other mid-tiered characters are.

In the current metagame, Mario's matchups against two characters who are higher then him, Yoshi and Pikachu, is being called into question due to their increasing dominance in the metagame while Mario's own metagame has began to stagnate. At the current moment, his clone and semi-clone are higher then he is, which is calling into question his matchups against other characters around him. | |||
