The '''Mad Piano''' is a playable character in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' [[mod]] ''[[Smash Remix]]''.  Initially revealed on {{iw|wikipedia|April Fools' Day}} of 2020 in a fake trailer for v1.0.0, it was officially added into the mod in its v0.9.5 release on December 6, 2020. The Mad Piano is based on [[mariowiki:Mad Piano|the enemy of the same name]] from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. The Mad Piano was the first playable character added to ''Smash Remix'' who was not playable in an official ''Smash'' game. It initially shared a slot with {{SSB|Luigi}} before v1.5.0 as his boss variant, where it would then share a slot with {{SSB|Kirby}}, before v2.0.0 made most bonus characters share a slot on the character select screen.

The Mad Piano is primarily "voiced" by either music being played on piano or the sound of piano keys being smashed, but it does repurpose two voice clips taken from ''Super Mario 64''; its neutral special reuses the voice clip of {{SSB|Mario}} coughing, voiced by [[Charles Martinet]], while its "hurt" sound reuses a [[Koopa Troopa]] scream, derived from the stock sound "HUMAN, YELL - YELL: FEMALE" from Voice Spectral Vol. 1 - Track 02.

==Attributes==
Mad Piano is a very heavyweight fighter with lots of single-hit attacks that revolve around physical body attacks or bites. Its down special is particularly useful, as it acts as a grapple, a projectile defense, a healing tool, and a way to augment its own projectiles. On top of all this, unlike other characters, Mad Piano is also able to do damage simply by [[dash]]ing or landing during [[fast fall]] and [[helpless]], making fights against it purposefully unbalanced. As a result, most tournaments opt to ban Mad Piano from play.

[[File:Mad Piano Victory SR 3.mp3|thumb|right|A flourish of ''Player Down'' from ''Super Mario World'' that played whenever the player dies. (Also its Star KO sound.)]]

===Victory poses===
All of Mad Piano's victory poses involve it playing piano covers of music from the ''Mario'' series. Except for the first victory pose, the covers loop endlessly until the player exits back to the character select screen.
*Squashes and stretches while playing ''Player Down'' from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', leaning towards the screen and opening its lid when finished. Uniquely, the results screen music does not play after it finishes playing the song.
*Hops on each leg while playing ''{{iw|mariowiki|Invincibility BGM}}''.
*Squashes and stretches slowly while playing ''{{iw|mariowiki|Piranha Plant's Lullaby}}'' from ''Super Mario 64''.

(Note: Mad Piano's alts have no direct references as stated by the developers, but some unintended resemblances will be listed.)
*'''Default''': Based on its appearance in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''.
*'''Red''': Resembles the iconic red piano owned by Schroeder from the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Peanuts}}'' series. Red is also a common color for electric pianos.
*'''Yellow''': Resembles the color of brass, a common material used for the pipes of an organ.
*'''Blue''': Blue is a color commonly used for toy pianos. It could also be a play on the fact that pianos are usually utilized for sad or ''"blue"'' songs.
*'''Green''': Resembles the color of {{iw|mariowiki|Warp pipes}}, a recurring object in the ''Super Mario'' series. Green is also a color commonly used for toy pianos.
*'''White''': Resembles the color of {{iw|mariowiki|Boos}}, being that Mad Piano appears in {{iw|mariowiki|Big Boo's Haunt}}. White also resembles the iconic white piano played by {{iw|wikipedia|John Lennon}} in his song "Imagine". White is also a color commonly used for house decor pianos.

==Trivia==
*The Mad Piano's [[congratulations screen]] is a parody of a scene from ''{{iw|mariowiki|The Super Mario Bros. Movie}}'' where [[Bowser]] sings ''{{iw|mariowiki|Peaches}}'' [[mariowiki:File:Peaches, Peaches, Peaches - TSMBM.png|while being surrounded by visions of Peach]]. [[Mario]] is used in place of [[Peach]], specifically mimicking the poses of the bottom-left, center, and right visions, with the right vision leaning on the platform Bowser is playing piano on.
*Mad Piano's [[CSS]] portrait, exclusively seen in [[12 Character Battle]], is based on their model in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', it is not based on any render or artwork.
*Mad Piano is the only character to have ever moved to a different character's boss variant. Originally for {{SSB|Luigi}}, it was moved to {{SSB|Kirby}} after the inclusion of {{SR|Metal Luigi}}. As of 2.0.0, it is now in the bonus character slot. 
**It is also the only ''Remix'' bonus/boss character to have moved twice.
*Mad Piano is the heaviest character in ''Smash Remix'', beating out characters like {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSB|Metal Mario}}, and even {{SR|Giga Bowser}}.
*Mad Piano is the only character in the game that grunts while taking weak hits, those being out-of-tune piano noises.
*Mad Piano's intro tagline ''"Mad Piano Actually Tunes In!!?"'' references the act of tuning a piano. It also references the {{iw|wikipedia|April Fools' Day}} joke of Mad Piano's ''Remix'' inclusion coming to fruition.
*Mad Piano is the only ''Remix'' character whose CSS animation does not translate to any of its victory animations.
**It is also the only ''Remix'' character to have a victory theme that doubles as a [[Star KO]] sound effect.
