 [[File:Marth FE3.png|thumb|left|140px|Official artwork of Marth from ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]''. This inspired his design in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.]]
-The first game in what would become the long-running tactical role-playing medieval high fantasy series ''Fire Emblem'', released on the  Famicom (Japanese NES) and entitled ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]''), introduced Marth as the main character. His design was noticeably different from his modern-day incarnation. The second game in the series, ''Fire Emblem Gaiden'', took place on the same fictional world but on a different continent and was only tangentially related to the first and did not feature Marth. The third game however, titled ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'' and released on Super Famicom (Super NES) early in 1994, was both a remake of the original game and a continuation of that game's story. Marth underwent a character redesign to resemble the more "{{S|wikipedia|bishōnen}}" prince he is portrayed as in today's modern image of him, and he became the only ''Fire Emblem'' series main character to feature in a starring role from the start of the game in more than one installment. In both games, his in-game unit is the only one that belongs to the Lord character class, which became tradition with all main starring characters of subsequent titles, being units that must be kept alive and start out weak but become very powerful over the course of each game.

 Marth also stars in remakes of the first and third ''Fire Emblem'' games on DS. He also has a notable legacy shown in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', with two of its major protagonists, [[Chrom]] and [[Lucina]], being his distant descendants. Marth is available as a playable character in ''Awakening'' (via SpotPass and DLC) and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'' (via [[amiibo]] and DLC).

 *Marth and [[Mario]] are the only characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have two different clones, Marth's being {{SSBM|Roy}} in ''[[Melee]]'' and {{SSB4|Lucina}} in ''[[SSB4]]''.
 **In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', both Marth and Mario each have one full clone ({{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, respectively) and one semi-clone ({{SSB4|Roy}} and {{SSB4|Luigi}}, respectively).
-*Even after the ''Fire Emblem'' games started seeing overseas releases, Marth remains of the few playable characters to still speak Japanese in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in Western localizations of the game, with the others being Roy (who later received his English voice actor, Ray Chase in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'') and [[Cloud]] (voiced by Steve Burton in his home series, but Burton did not get to reprise his role in ''Smash 4'' due to his status as a union-based actor). ''{{s|wikipedia|Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.}}'', which released after ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', is the first video game to grant him an official English-speaking voice, with {{s|wikipedia|Yuri Lowenthal}} taking the role. Lowenthal would reprise the same role in ''Fire Emblem Fates'' and ''Fire Emblem Heroes''.

 *Marth is currently one of the only veteran characters in the series to be ranked as a top tier character in all of his appearances; he shares this distinction with [[Diddy Kong]].
