'''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was suggested to appear in the then unnamed ''Ultimate'' in its first [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Gt42kVgCw teaser trailer] at the end of the March 8th, 2018 [[Nintendo Direct]], and officially announced in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o E3 2018 trailer] on June 12th, 2018 alongside the rest of the returning roster. Mario is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #01]], the first fighter number of the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' [[veteran]]s and the overall roster. As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Mario from ''[[Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate'' in all regions.

Mario is currently ranked 22nd out of 82 characters on the [[tier list]], being in the A tier. This is a slight drop from his 9th out of 54 ranking in ''Smash 4'' where he stood at the lower end of top tier, despite not facing many changes during the transition. Much like his previous incarnation, Mario's greatest asset is his fast frame data; most of his moves have little startup lag and have relatively low end lag. This results in Mario being fairly difficult to [[punish]] relative to most of the cast. His combo game is quite flexible, as Mario can rack up damage quickly and reliably, most notoriously with his up air ladders. In addition, he also has a versatile moveset: a disruptive [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]], a [[reflection]]-based and [[reverse]]-based move in his [[Cape]] that can counteract [[camping]], and a decent, if niche [[edgeguard]]ing option with [[F.L.U.D.D.]].

However, Mario also has some notable weaknesses. His moves have short range, giving him trouble against characters with long [[disjointed]] range. Mario’s short range is an exceptionally poor hindrance, as it makes him susceptible to [[spacing]]. Mario also suffers from a lack of consistent KO setups, due to having predictable, low range, and unsafe kill options at high percents, alongside his short frame and relative floatiness for a middleweight. He also struggles in KOing opponents in general, as he lacks reliable finishers outside of his smash attacks: while his [[back throw]] is slow and vulnerable to [[DI]] and other moves like back aerial, down aerial and [[Super Jump Punch]] tend to be dependent on edgeguarding or being near the top of the [[blast line]] to KO. Mario’s recovery, while good, is still predictable due to [[Super Jump Punch]] only travelling a mere average distance. Lastly, Mario's average attributes do not allow him to quickly gain an advantage either, as the strengths of other characters can contest his, with the most notable being his overall range.

Besides the fact this isn't done for other characters' pages, Jigglypuff and Lucina still use their voice clips from Rachael Lillis and Laura Bailey respectively in the Smash series instead of their current actors, so it's still possible for Martinet's voice to be reused in future Smash games-->
