'''Yellow Alloy''' ({{ja|ザコイエロー}} ''Zakoierō'', '''Yellow Small Fry'''), is an [[unplayable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and only playable via [[hacking]]. He's a [[clone]] of {{SSBB|Mario}}.

When playable, much like many [[Multi-Man Brawl]] characters, Yellow Alloy is worse than a good portion of the ''Brawl'' roster. {{SSBB|Mario}} notably benefits from his improved [[special move]]s in ''Brawl'', and with these removed, it exposes a very meagre toolkit. He inherits Mario's poor attack range, causing him to struggle mightily against [[disjoint]]ed attacks, and these don't have fantastic [[KO]] potential. This is all while suffering from the standard weaknesses of the Fighting Alloys: Yellow Alloy cannot [[shield]], cannot [[air dodge]] and thus can't [[hitstun cancelling|hitstun cancel]], his aerials all have 40 frames of [[landing lag]], and he has a horrible [[meteor cancel]] window. However, there are some silver linings; Yellow Alloy has a [[forward aerial]] reminiscent of {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}'s; an [[up smash]] with higher KO potential, albeit with less head [[intangibility]]; and damage is slightly increased across the board. This doesn't do much to improve from the negatives, though, making Yellow Alloy one of the worst characters in the game.

If a player wins with Yellow Alloy, the game will crash without further modifications. When losing, the game will continue, with Yellow Alloy being in a [[pratfall]] state.

==Attributes==
{{incomplete|Generally needs a lot of hammering out}}
Yellow Alloy is largely the same as {{SSBB|Mario}} on a surface level, having his quick startup frames, a [[dash attack]] that [[stage spike]]s consistently, and a strong [[back throw]]. However, without [[special move]]s and aerials with extremely high endlag, it is difficult for Yellow Alloy to achieve much of what Mario seeks to achieve, having trouble mounting any aerial offence to speak of and lacking a projectile to form a [[neutral game]] around. 

==Differences from {{SSBB|Mario}}==
Yellow Alloy has the exact same movement statistics as {{SSBB|Mario}}, but has some minor differences on various moves reminiscent of {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}; most notably, he has a single-hitbox, strong [[forward aerial]], and a [[down aerial]] without a landing hitbox.

===Aesthetics===
* {{change|Yellow Alloy has a slightly larger model, giving him more reach, but making him much easier to [[combo]].}}
* {{change|Yellow  Alloy is unvoiced.}}

===Attributes===
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy has no special moves.}}
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy can't [[shield]] and thus cannot [[roll]] or [[spotdodge]].}}
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy can't [[airdodge]] and thus cannot perform [[hitstun cancelling]], making him uniquely susceptible to combos.}}
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy can't grab the [[ledge]] and can't use any ledge options by extension.}}
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy has a significantly worse [[meteor cancel]] window, tied with {{SSBB|Wolf}} for the worst in the game (25f → 60f).}}

===Ground attacks===
* {{nerf|Jab 1 has worse [[weight]]-based [[knockback]], with a single hitbox (WKB: 15/10 → 11).}}
* {{nerf|Jab 2 has worse [[weight]]-based [[knockback]], with a single hitbox (WKB: 18/15/25 → 10), causing opponents to be able to [[shield]] Jab 3.}}
* {{nerf|Jab 1 and 2 lacks their 80° angle hitbox, making them connect slightly worse.}}
* {{buff|Jab 3 comes out a frame sooner (Startup: f7 → f6), giving it overall better hitbox activity.}}
* {{nerf|Jab 3 has drastically higher endlag (FAF: 30 → 40).}}
* {{nerf|Jab 3 has less knockback growth (KBG: 95 → 90).}}
* {{buff|Dash attack has a larger hitbox, making it drastically better at [[stage spiking]] with the late hit.}}
* {{change|Dash Attack has its 80°/70° hitboxes removed, with the latter being inconsequential due to it being fully covered for {{SSBB|Mario}} anyway.}}
* {{buff|Forward tilt deals more damage (8% → 10%).}}
* {{nerf|Forward tilt has higher endlag (FAF: 25 → 33).}}
* {{nerf|Forward tilt has lower base knockback, standardised across all versions (BKB: 8/13 → 6); largely made up for by the damage buff, but still worse on [[shield]].}}
* {{nerf|Up tilt has a frame of extra endlag (FAF: 30 → 31).}}
* {{buff|Down tilt has a single hitbox with the higher damage range (5%/7% → 7%), but still remains unsafe on hit.}}
* {{buff|Forward smash has more hitbox activity (15-17 → 15-19).}}
* {{nerf|Forward smash lacks its sweetspot fire hitbox, making the animation not only misleading, but also causing it to only deal 15%.}}
* {{nerf|Forward smash has higher endlag (FAF: 48 → 57).}}
* {{buff|Up smash has higher [[knockback growth]] (KBG: 90 → 97), making it KO sooner.}}
* {{nerf|Up smash has no head [[intangibility]].}}
* {{buff|Down smash has lower base knockback (BKB: 40/35 → 30), but much higher knockback growth (KBG: 73/75 → 90/80), making it KO sooner.}}
* {{nerf|Down smash has less range, lacking hitboxes on the feet.}}
* {{buff|Back throw has higher base knockback (70 → 80).}}

===Aerial attacks===
* {{nerf|Yellow Alloy cannot [[air dodge]].}}
* {{nerf|All of Yellow Alloy's aerial attacks have 40 frames of landing lag, making them terrible on shield and reducing follow-up potential.}}
* {{nerf|Neutral aerial autocancels later (34+ → 36+).}}
* {{buff|Neutral aerial's early hit does more damage (10% → 12%).}}
* {{buff|Neutral aerial's late hit has an extra frame of hitbox activity (6-29 → 6-30).}}
* {{buff|Forward aerial has overall higher hitbox activity (16-21 → 16-23).}}
* {{nerf|Forward aerial has much higher endlag (FAF: 60 → 76).}}
* {{change|Forward aerial is changed to be a single hitbox, dealing 13% with a 60° angle, 20 base knockback, and 100 knockback growth; akin to {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}'s.}}
* {{change|Forward aerial no longer [[meteor smash]]es.}}
* {{buff|Back aerial has its late hit removed, just being the strong early hit, with near enough the same overall hitbox activity (6-13 → 6-12).}}
* {{buff|Back aerial has higher knockback growth (95 → 100).}}
* {{nerf|Back aerial does less damage compared to Mario's early hit (12% → 11%).}}
* {{nerf|Back aerial has higher endlag (FAF: 34 → 46).}}
* {{buff|Up aerial has much higher base knockback (BKB: 9 → 90).}}
* {{nerf|Up aerial has more endlag (FAF: 30 → 34).}}
* {{change|Up aerial launches at a slightly higher angle (45° → 55°).}}
* {{nerf|Down aerial lacks its landing hitbox.}}

==Moveset==
* Unlike regular fighters, Yellow Alloy lacks [[special move]]s, can't [[shield]], and cannot grab the [[ledge]]. He also lacks [[idle pose]]s and [[taunt]]s.

''For a gallery of Yellow Alloy's hitboxes, see [[Yellow Alloy (SSBB)/Hitboxes|here]].''
{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBB
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=3%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=4%
|neutraldesc=Mario's regular attack combo from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. The first hit on frame 2 and easily [[jab lock]]s characters if they miss their [[tech]]. However, it is terrible at linking into itself, being very easy to [[shield]].
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltdmg=10%
|ftiltdesc=A roundhouse kick with meagre damage. Unsafe on hit at lower percentages.
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=7%
|utiltdesc=A spinning uppercut. It has low startup and ending lag, being the same as {{SSBB|Mario}}'s, average damage and above-average knockback. An excellent [[juggle]]r that can be combo'd into itself at low percents. It can also KO at higher percents, being his strongest tilt.
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=7% (leg)
|dtiltdesc=Performs a legsweep. Though it has low startup lag and surprisingly decent range, it deals low damage, has high [[ending lag]] and low vertical knockback. [[Punishment|Punishable]] on hit all the way up to mid percents or even high percents. While improved compared to Mario's, it remains one of the worst moves in the game
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=9% (clean), 7% (late)
|dashdesc=Performs a sliding kick from ''Super Mario 64''. Has low diagonal knockback behind Yellow Alloy that is difficult to follow up on. Low profiles various moves and has a large enough hitbox to perform unusual [[stage spike]]s.
|fsmashangles=3
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashupdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (arm)
|fsmashsidedmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (arm)
|fsmashdowndmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (arm)
|fsmashdesc=Steps back and then forward, causing a blast of fire out of his hand; however, the fire animation lacks a hitbox compared to Mario's. Can be pivoted to cover some distance, which can make up for this issue. Much weaker than Mario's.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|14}}
|usmashdesc=An upper-reaching headbutt. Lacks the head intangibility of Mario's, but is overall stronger.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (front), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (back)
|dsmashdesc=Performs a flare kick. Comes out quickly, but has poor range, leaving it outclassed by dash attack for [[edgeguarding]] purposes. In all other cases, it's strong for resetting neutral or getting the opponent off-stage.
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=12% (clean), 5% (late)
|nairdesc=Performs a [[sex kick]] in the air. Comes out very quickly on frame 3, which makes it useful to escape [[combo]]s but it has short reach; this trait is worsened by Yellow Alloy's inability to [[hitstun cancelling|hitstun cancel]]. Has overall unspectacular power and is largely hampered by the 40 frames of [[landing lag]].
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=13%
|fairdesc=Performs a delayed overhand. Seemingly derived from {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}'s forward aerial from ''Melee'', instead of being a [[meteor smash]], it deals general meaty knockback. It isn't very strong and has high ending and landing lag, making it difficult to utilise if a [[KO]] isn't outright confirmed.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=11%
|bairdesc=A backward-reaching dropkick. Because it lacks the late hit of Mario's, it's more consistent, but is severely held back by its high ending and landing lag.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=11%
|uairdesc=Performs a bicycle kick. 
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=1% (hits 1-5), 7% (hit 6)
|dairdesc=Performs several discus spinning clotheslines followed by a backfist body stretch. Due to the lack of a landing hitbox, Yellow Alloy is extremely vulnerable to opponents [[SDI]]ing out of the move. 
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=A clinch grab. Meagre grab range.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=3%
|pummeldesc=Slowly headbutts opponent.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=9%
|fthrowdesc=Spins around once then throws his opponent in front of him. It has below average knockback scaling for a throw, KOing Mario at around 167% at the ledge, and completely lacking KO power from further away. It is mostly only used to set up an edgeguard.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=12% (throw), 8% (collateral)
|bthrowdesc=Spins around three times then throws his opponent backwards. Slow and easy to [[DI]], but stronger than Mario's back throw, which was already powerful in the first place.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=8%
|uthrowdesc=Throws his opponent high into the air. High base knockback but it has low knockback scaling. KOs at 189%. Arguably his least useful throw.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=6%
|dthrowdesc=Slams his opponent into the ground. Yellow Alloy's weakest throw. Its vertical trajectory allows it to set up an up aerial juggle with a successful [[read]], but the opponent is put into tumble at 0%, which allows them to [[air dodge]] any potential followups.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Gets up then kicks behind him, then in front of him.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Gets up then punches behind him, then in front of him.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Kicks behind him, then in front of him while getting up. punches them upwards.
|edgefdesc=none
|edgesdesc=none
|nsdesc=none
|ssdesc=none
|usdesc=none
|dsdesc=none
|fsdesc=none

===[[Announcer]] call===
The [[Fighting Alloy Team]] has an unused announcer call intended for [[Classic Mode (SSBB)|Classic Mode]], which can be accessed if an Alloy is made selectable on the [[Character select screen]]. It is present in all versions.

==In [[competitive play]]==
Due to Yellow Alloy only being playable via [[hacking]], he's been banned in competitive play since ''Brawl's'' release. While the accessibility of Wii modding makes it relatively easy to add the Fighting Alloys to the character select screen, and they don't crash the game unlike the [[Fighting Wire Frames]] upon winning, the entry barrier still exists. This barrier also causes logistical issues that tournament organisers have to work around, such as the potential for installing further mods to cheat, consoles not having the appropriate mods installed that can cause setup disputes, and more. Due to the [[Fighting Alloy Team]] as a whole being largely inferior versions of their base characters, especially in the case of Yellow Alloy, there is also little interest in changing that status quo. Ergo, the entire Fighting Alloy Team group has not seen much competitive experimentation, with no documented tournament matches. Should they ever be made legal, however, their influence on the metagame would likely be minimal.

==In 1-P Mode==
===In [[Multi-Man Brawl]]===
[[File:Fightingalloyteam.jpg|200px|thumb|The Fighting Alloys fighting {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} in Co-op 3-Minute [[Brawl]].]]
Yellow Alloy, as part of the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], is a central figure in Multi-Man Brawl, where he spawns alongside the other Alloys to attack the player. He appears in all modes, including [[Cruel Brawl]], where he's quite overwhelming. Additionally, in each mode, Yellow Alloy will fight with a [[handicap]], changing its properties by quite a bit.
{{clr}}

==[[Trophies]]==
The Yellow Allow trophy is unlocked by defeating 100 Alloys in [[Endless Brawl]].
{{Trophy
|name=Yellow Alloy
|image=Yellow Alloy - Brawl Trophy.png
|desc=A member of the Alloys who stands out from the bunch with a sharp yellow body and horns. He moves like Mario but is bigger and has a longer reach. He can't, however, use items or special moves. Also remember that he is not controlled by a human player, so this is your big chance--show him who's boss!

==Trivia==
[[File:AlloysVictoryScreen.png|thumb|200px|The Fighting Alloy Team on the victory screen, with the Green, Red, and Blue Alloys in their tripped state, while Yellow Alloy is in its standing pose.]]
* When winning, if the game is forced to not crash, in lieu of a victory pose, all Alloys will use their default standing pose instead. 
* Yellow Alloy curiously has some traits only seen with {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} in ''Melee'', namely a single-hitbox, strong [[forward aerial]], and a [[down aerial]] without a landing hitbox.
