Mario is ranked 14th on the current tier list in the A tier, placing him in the center, along with his brother {{SSBM|Luigi}} and five places below his clone, {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. Mario acts as a well-rounded character, with average weight, falling speed and other such attributes. Mario has above-average comboing ability, and a very versatile grab game; his powerful back throw can gimp and his down throw can [[chain-grab]]. Mario also has decent [[edge-guarding]], with [[Fireball]] (a solid projectile), and his [[Cape]] which can easily and efficiently gimp almost every other character's recovery. Mario, however, lacks a reliable finisher, and his recovery is predictable and short, though he can extend it. | Mario is ranked 14th on the current tier list in the A tier, placing him in the center, along with his brother {{SSBM|Luigi}} and five places below his clone, {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}.

Mario, however, suffers from some KOing problems. As he is designed to be a beginner character, Mario lacks particularly powerful or reliable finishers; while his forward smash has good range, coupled with a very visible and easy to land sweetspot, his other smashes are rather short ranged. Additionally, while Mario's back throw is strong, it requires grabbing the opponent first; this can be a challenge, due to Mario's poor grab range. Mario's single meteor smash is also rather unwieldy and risky to use. | Mario, however, suffers from some KOing problems.

Mario also suffers from a below average recovery.

Mario, however, does have some options to improve his recovery; Mario's Cape can allow him to recover from the sides, and he has the ability to wall-jump, which can act as a help on stages such as Final Destination. | ||
