Mario is average in most respects and very well rounded. He has a straightforward [[combo]] game that can transition well from the ground to the air, many options out of his [[throw]]s, reliable [[approach]] options, and a solid ranged games with his [[fireball]]s and [[cape]]. While Mario is not the master of any one field, he is capable in all of them. Other characters may outclass him in speed or power, but Mario's overall well rounded set of attributes grants him versatility and the ability to take on most opponents. | Mario is average in most respects and very well rounded.

Mario is endowed with a practical set of [[aerial attack]]s. His neutral aerial and down aerial serve as approaching tools, up and back can combo or [[gimp]] respectively, and his forward aerial is a great finisher. He is also capable off stage. His cape, quick aerials, and surprisingly good [[recovery]] allow him to head off stage and finish off opponents attempting returns of their own. On stage, Mario can be as much of a threat. His grab allows for [[chain throw]]s, can lead into his deadly aerial combos, or can put the opponent off stage to set up a gimp. He can zone or approach with his fireballs, and has great finishers in his forward and up smash. | Mario is endowed with a practical set of [[aerial attack]]s.

Despite his strengths, Mario still must cope with his lack of range and limited recovery options. | |||

'''Dr. Mario''' appears as Mario's alternate costume. Players may switch between Mario and Dr. Mario costumes, similarly to Wario's alternate costume sets for his Wario Land and WarioWare appearances. When wearing a Dr. Mario costume, Mario's Fireballs in his neutral special and down taunt change to Megavitamins, and his [[forward smash]] also comes to have an [[electric]]al effect, though there is no difference in gameplay other than these effects and aesthetics. | '''Dr. Mario''' appears as Mario's alternate costume.
