He is the icon of [[Nintendo]] and the [[Mario (universe)|Mario series]], from which {{SSBB|Luigi}}, [[Peach (SSBB)|Princess Peach]], {{SSBB|Bowser}}, and {{SSBB|Wario}} also originate. As in every other video game, Mario is voiced by Charles Martinet. | ||

This is due to him having no major size or speed flaws and is considered all around and balanced. Despite being an average-sized middleweight, Mario is one of those who {{SSBB|King Dedede}} can [[Chain grab|infinitely chain grab]] [[Cheap|without a wall]], which is a true problem at high level play. A major offensive flaw of Mario is his lack of finishers. His only attacks that can reliably KO under 150% are his forward smash and up smash. His other possible finishers are situational. For example, his [[forward aerial]] is a [[meteor smash]] which helps him edgeguard, but it is slow and can be difficult to meteor smash with, it has quite low [[knockback]] for a meteor smash as well, but if sour-spotted, it deals decent horizontal knockback that can KO off-stage foes at high percentages. The back throw, while one of the strongest throws in the game, will have difficulty KOing without being on the edge, a problem made worse by how slow the throw is, making it very easy to DI. The fact that Mario lacks a reliable finisher that is not a smash attack makes getting KOs even more difficult, due to giving him less versatility. His forward special, the [[Cape]], allows him to turn enemies around and reflect projectiles. The cape also propels him forward a little when used in the air. Additionally, the cape reverses momentum and can be used to [[Cape Glide]] which greatly enhances his edgeguarding capabilities. His Neutral Special, the [[Fireball]], is spammable and helps him control the enemy's approach, it can also be used to hinder some characters offstage. His Down Special, [[F.L.U.D.D.]], has to be charged up and deals no damage but [[push]]es enemies back similar to [[Kyogre]]'s Hydro Pump or {{SSBB|Squirtle}}'s [[Water Gun]] (but notably less powerful) and can also be used as an effective edge-guarding move on recoveries like [[Link (SSBB)|Link's]] [[Spin Attack]]. This can make it difficult to recover for some characters, while for others, it is a mere hindrance. Also, it takes a long time to charge, meaning Mario must wait a good amount of time before it is effective, although it can be saved by shielding and rolling. Excluding F.L.U.D.D. and Fireball, Mario does not have many long ranged attacks. For his recovery, he can wall jump and use his Cape, along with his [[Super Jump Punch]]. Super Jump Punch, however, is a relatively poor recovery move in general and is easily edge-guarded due to its predictable trajectory (straight upwards, slightly diagonal), though, it is considered to be a great out-of-shield option. F.L.U.D.D. can also be used to push him back horizontally. His Smash attacks are quick, so he can execute them with little start-up lag. He is also known for being a good juggler with his quick attacks and aerials. | ||

In the beginning, a trophy of Mario and | In the beginning, a trophy of Mario and {{SSBB|Kirby}} are thrown into the [[Midair Stadium]], where they come to life and have a friendly fight (a reference to the introduction in [[Super Smash Bros.|the first game of the series]], where Mario and Kirby prepare to fight each other towards the end). The player chooses the one they want to play as. If Mario is chosen, the opponent will be Kirby, and vice-versa. After the battle between the two, the winner revives the loser, they shake hands, and wave to the [[crowd]]. Suddenly, red ominous clouds appear above the stadium, and the [[Halberd]] emerges from it. It releases [[Shadow Bug]]s which form into [[Primid]]s. Peach and {{SSBB|Zelda}}, who were watching the match, come to help, and after defeating all of the enemies, they are all confronted by the [[Ancient Minister]]. After seeing the two R.O.B.s setting up a [[Subspace Bomb]], Mario runs to try and stop it, only to be blasted out of the stadium and [[Star KO|Star KO'd]] by a cannonball apparently fired by [[Petey Piranha]]. | ||
During his descent from [[Skyworld]], | During his descent from [[Skyworld]], {{SSBB|Pit}} finds Mario's trophy, and revives him. Once Mario recounts what happened, the two proceeded on their journey. When they reach the ground, they fight Primids across [[the Plain]] and attempt to stop the Ancient Minister from delivering another Subspace Bomb. Mario attempts to reach the Minister, but falls short; Pit also tries to get him by using a [[Footstool Jump]] on Mario, but he also fails. They then continue on their quest. | ||

A [[False Character]] of Bowser appears and dissolves, engulfing Peach's trophy. Brought to life is a cloned Peach which tries to fire a [[Dark Cannon]] at Mario. Luckily, {{SSBB|Link}} destroys the gun using his [[Master Sword]], and fights the princess with {{SSBB|Yoshi}}. Mario notices them standing by Peach's trophy, which disintegrates. Enraged, Mario attempts to attack Link, but he dodges the attack. Link, Yoshi, Mario, and Pit get into a two-on-two fight. Afterward, [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede's]] [[cargo]], stolen from {{SSBB|Wario}} and already loaded with the trophies of {{SSBB|Zelda}}, {{SSBB|Ness}}, and {{SSBB|Luigi}}, grabs Mario and Pit's trophies with its mechanical arm. Fortunately Kirby appears from behind and severs the arm with [[Final Cutter]] while reviving Mario and Pit; Kirby had realized that the noise he heard was Dedede hijacking the cargo from Wario. King Dedede turns around and tries to get away, but Pit blows the cargo's tire with [[Palutena's Arrow]]. | ||
The five follow Dedede across some plains and follow him into [[the Cave]], where they see Dedede's castle in ruins from an ambush by Bowser. They pursue Bowser through a hole in the castle wall. Mario and friends then confront Bowser at a cliff. Mario jumps at the Koopa, but misses with his attack. Pit fires an arrow; Bowser, while [[sidestepping]] to dodge the arrow, drops the [[Dedede Brooch]] attached to Zelda's arm. He loses footing and falls off the cliff into the [[Koopa Clown Car]] with the trophy of Zelda, where he laughs maniacally as he flies up to the Halberd. | The five follow Dedede across some plains and follow him into [[the Cave]], where they see Dedede's castle in ruins from an ambush by Bowser.
