 His special moveset is highly varied and has plenty of uses. [[Fireball]] is a [[projectile]] with a decently long range. It can be useful in the neutral game or in edgeguarding, thanks to its disruptive knockback and downward trajectory, and is very useful for disrupting direct approaches. [[Super Jump Punch]] travels in a controllable diagonal direction and grants moderate distance, making it good at [[recovery]]. It also has intangibility upon startup, allowing it to be used [[out of shield]] very effectively. Due to its extremely quick startup, it is also a useful combo finisher, especially near the blast line. [[Cape]] [[reverse]]s opponents, with the induced disorientation often being enough to allow a free hit or efficiently gimp a recovery, which aids in edgeguarding opponents. It is also a powerful [[reflection|reflector]], making it highly useful in matchups against projectile-heavy characters, such as {{SSBU|Simon}} or {{SSBU|Samus}}. [[F.L.U.D.D.]] is a mechanism that shoots [[water]], [[push]]ing opponents away, which compliments his Cape. Though situational, it can occasionally be used to give Mario some breathing space. As a result of his Cape, F.L.U.D.D. and his fast aerials, Mario also boasts a versatile edgeguarding game.
-Another valuable strength of Mario is his grab game. Even though his grab reach is only average, his grabs are fairly quick, and his [[pummel]] is fairly quick. His forward throw sends the opponent at a disadvantageous position, where Mario can capitalize on their mistakes. His up throw is a useful combo starter at lower percentages, comboing into his up, down, and back aerials. His back throw is by far his strongest throw and one of the strongest of its type in the game as well, as it can reliably KO at around 160% near the ledge on any character, and even earlier with [[rage]], being capable of killing as early as 107% with it. Finally, his down throw is a great combo starter that can lead a vast amount of combo opportunities, most notably his up and forward aerials.
+Another valuable strength of Mario is his grab game. Though his grab reach is somewhat average, his dash and pivot grabs extend far past his hurtboxes, granting them unusually disjointed range for a character of his archetype. In addition, his grabs are tied for the fastest in the game, and his [[pummel]] is fairly quick. His forward throw sends the opponent at a disadvantageous position, where Mario can capitalize on their mistakes. His up throw is a useful combo starter at lower percentages, comboing into his up, down, and back aerials. His back throw is by far his strongest throw and one of the strongest of its type in the game as well, as it can reliably KO at around 160% near the ledge on any character, and even earlier with [[rage]], being capable of killing as early as 107% with it. Finally, his down throw is a great combo starter that can lead a vast amount of combo opportunities, most notably his up, back, and forward aerials.
 Finally, and due to the favorable angles his moves send at, his tremendously quick frame data and his extensive amount of combo starters, Mario's combo ability is fantastic, and it is also worth noting that several of Mario's moves can [[lock]], including his neutral attack. This makes it almost always imperative for Mario's opponent to [[tech]] all attacks at low to mid percentages when needed; otherwise, Mario can capitalize on the opportunity, and tack on unavoidable massive damage in the process.
