Despite his reputation for being a poor character and being drastically nerfed from his boss appearance in [[1P Game]], due to only being playable via [[hacking]], Metal Mario has been banned in tournaments since its inception. However, with the inception of [[Smash Remix]] and [[19XXTE]] making him much easier to access - no longer requiring resets and reloading cheats due to game [[crash]]es from the results screen - arguments have been made to legalise him in tournaments. These mainly consist of claims that keeping him banned because of accessibility is irrational if the metagame impact is minimal, citing his inept recovery and poor combo game as significant factors. Some tournaments have been played in Smash Remix with boss characters allowed, where Metal Mario, while playable, fares poorly. Despite this, in ''Smash 64'' and ''Remix'', Metal Mario remains banned in standard play, the latter case being due to his status as a boss character, rather than metagame implications.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T99G_p8Nis5jwF2Y_r2zHEKvm0iKgz9jGVbEafkKl30/edit?usp=sharing Xanadu Origins Ruleset; stacked event where Metal Mario was banned]</ref> | Despite his reputation for being a poor character and being drastically nerfed from his boss appearance in [[1P Game]], due to only being playable via [[hacking]], Metal Mario has been banned in tournaments since its inception. Hacking the game presents logistical issues to tournaments, requiring every setup to be running the correct modded version of the game, which alone can have effects on integrity. Even this has limits: Simple Gameshark cheats require the game to be reset after every win due to the [[results screen]] [[crash]]ing the game without further modifications, delaying tournaments by affecting mid-set processes like counterpicking, online or offline. Thus, it is considered more practical to keep Metal Mario banned. | ||
