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, albeit seemingly with the same voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. [3]
Confirmed 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.
Some of his attacks, (Up smash, Forward aerial, Up aerial, Down tilt, Neutral attack, Forward tilt) have been sped up.- Forward smash has a larger blast, making it have a larger hitbox
- Down smash has much stronger knockback.
However, it deals noticeably less damage.
- Mario has slightly increased air speed.
- F.L.U.D.D. has increased range.
- Down throw has drastically less base knockback, allowing it to combo into other moves more reliably at lower percentages.
- Back throw is slightly more powerful on both the throw and hitting bystanders. It has also been sped up a bit.
- Up smash and back aerial both deal slightly more damage.
- His back aerial also appears to have strengthened, and its ending lag has been noticeably reduced.
- Forward aerial has been strengthened, being even stronger than in Brawl. It also deals 2% more damage.
- Mario Finale does more damage than in Brawl.
- It has less vertical range.
- Forward throw, neutral attack, up aerial, up tilt, forward smash, and down throw deal less damage.
- However, his down throw and up aerial have been sped up.
- Forward tilt deals less damage, and has a slightly shorter range.
- Cape deals less damage when on the ground.
Mario now grabs with one hand as oppose to two.- Fireballs have higher falling speed.
- Super Jump Punch appears to make a slightly higher-pitched ding on the last hit.
- It deals slightly less damage.
- Hitting with the cape now makes a sound effect akin to Mario spinning his cape in Super Mario World (but faster and higher-pitched).
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.
