Mario in Project M and Project+
Universe	Mario
Base game appearance	Brawl
Alternate costume	Dr. Mario

Mario is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. He is designed to be a mix of the best attributes of both himself and Dr. Mario.

Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

Mario has been buffed from Brawl to PM.

• Fireball has less ending lag.
• Super Jump Punch can be cancelled by a wall jump any time it is touching the wall, but only the first Super Jump Punch. Until Mario lands again, Super Jump Punch must touch the wall for the whole duration of the move.
• Down special is now his Mario Tornado move from Melee, having much more utility than the F.L.U.D.D.. As a cosmetic change, it also has star graphics, as a reference to Super Mario Galaxy.
• Mario is a slight mix of himself and Melee's Dr. Mario; up smash, back aerial, and the beginning of forward aerial have Dr. Mario-like properties, and his Fireball has a trajectory more like Megavitamins. Mario's down taunt was also changed to Dr. Mario's taunt from Melee.
• Down aerial is now his drill kick from Melee.

Dr. Mario

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. There is no difference in gameplay, although sound effects and aesthetics will change.
