'''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.<!--Do not add that this is the last Smash Bros. game where Charles Martinet voices Mario. 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--> | '''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Mario is currently ranked 22nd out of 82 characters on the [[tier list]], in the A tier. This is a slight | 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 effective 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. Mario's | However, Mario also has some notable weaknesses. Mario's suffers from a very little range, giving him trouble against characters with long [[disjointed]] range. 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. 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. | ||
Overall, Mario's strengths outweigh his weaknesses, and he has seen strong results in competitive play thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|Kurama}}, {{Sm|Nao|p=Hokkaido}}, and {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}}. | Overall, Mario's strengths outweigh his weaknesses, and he has seen strong results in competitive play thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|Kurama}}, {{Sm|Nao|p=Hokkaido}}, and {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}}. |
