Mario (SSB4)

Mario (マリオ, Mario) was confirmed to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 on June 11th, 2013 during the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct.[1] He was also one of the main subjects of the Developer's Direct for Smash Bros. later during E3 2013.[2] He will be among the first wave of amiibo figurines for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Mario's voice is played by Charles Martinet who also is reprising his long-time role as Luigi and Wario, albeit seemingly with the same voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. [3]


Changes from Brawl

Mario seems to be buffed from Brawl to Smash 4. He appears to be quicker than in past games. His reach seems somewhat greater as well, with most of his attacks given a white streak to accompany their extended hitboxes, similar to the slash effect in Brawl.

  • Buff Some of his attacks, (Up smash, Forward aerial, Up aerial, Down tilt, Neutral attack, Forward tilt) have been sped up.
  • Buff Forward smash has a larger blast, making it have a larger hitbox
  • Buff Down smash has much stronger knockback.
    • Nerf However, it deals noticeably less damage.
  • Buff Mario has slightly increased air speed.
  • Buff F.L.U.D.D. has increased range.
  • Buff Down throw has drastically less base knockback, allowing it to combo into other moves more reliably at lower percentages.
  • Buff Back throw is slightly more powerful on both the throw and hitting bystanders. It has also been sped up a bit.
  • Buff Up smash and back aerial both deal slightly more damage.
    • Buff His back aerial also appears to have strengthened, and its ending lag has been noticeably reduced.
  • Buff Forward aerial has been strengthened, being even stronger than in Brawl. It also deals 2% more damage.
  • Buff Mario Finale does more damage than in Brawl.
    • Nerf It has less vertical range.
  • Nerf Forward throw, neutral attack, up aerial, up tilt, forward smash, and down throw deal less damage.
    • Buff However, his down throw and up aerial have been sped up.
  • Nerf Forward tilt deals less damage, and has a slightly shorter range.
  • Nerf Cape deals less damage when on the ground.
  • Change Mario now grabs with one hand as oppose to two.
  • Change Fireballs have higher falling speed.
    • Change When a fireball hits a foe, the sound effect that plays when an enemy is defeated in Super Mario Bros. plays.
  • Change Super Jump Punch appears to make a slightly higher-pitched ding on the last hit.
    • Nerf It deals slightly less damage.
  • Change Hitting with the cape now makes a sound effect akin to Mario spinning his cape in Super Mario World (but faster and higher-pitched).
  • Change The coins from the Super Jump Punch are now designed closer to the Star Coins from the New Super Mario Bros. series.

Instead of the more realistic look he had in Brawl, Mario has a more cartoonish and sleeker look that's more like his appearances in the Mario games. His clothes are more brightly colored, and the seams in his overalls are much less accentuated. His proportions are more inline with recent 3D Mario games such as Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario 3D Land. For example, his head is smaller than it was in Brawl to fit with these proportions.

Unlike in previous installments, Mario will now have his chest facing the foreground regardless of whether he's facing left or right.

  • Takes off his hat, twirls around, and says "woo hoo!" He then puts his hat back on. It may be based upon New Super Mario Bros., where he does the same pose after reaching the top of a level's flag.
  • Spins in the air and falls to the ground with his legs in the air. It is based on the dying animation from Donkey Kong.

On-Screen Appearance

A green Warp Pipe appears. Mario leaps out in an iconic pose and shouts "Let's-a go!".[4]

Victory Fanfare

A flourished remix directly from Brawl based on the sound clip that would play when Mario reaches the end of a level in Super Mario Bros. It is shared with Luigi, his alter-ego, Dr. Mario, and Peach.

Trivia

  • Based on hitbox data, the Super Jump Punch making a different sound on the final hit seems to have been intended to be in all three previous games.
