In his starring games, Marth is given the unique {{s|fireemblem|lord}} [[fireemblemwiki:Class|character class]]: as the commander of his army, it is necessary for him to [[fireemblemwiki:Objectives#Seize|seize castles and thrones]] held by enemy armies to complete chapters and progress in his quest, but if he is defeated in battle, the game is over and the player must restart from their last save point. As the first lord in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, Marth established many trends in both narrative and gameplay roles that later series protagonists, such as [[Roy]] and [[Chrom]], would closely follow. The majority of ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists share the lord class with Marth, with only a few notable exceptions, such as [[Ike]] and [[Corrin]]. Despite only being the star of four out of the series' sixteen games, Marth is treated by Intelligent Systems as the mascot of the entire ''Fire Emblem'' series. | In his starring games, Marth is given the unique {{s|fireemblem|lord}} [[fireemblemwiki:Class|character class]]: as the commander of his army, it is necessary for him to [[fireemblemwiki:Objectives#Seize|seize castles and thrones]] held by enemy armies to complete chapters and progress in his quest, but if he is defeated in battle, the game is over and the player must restart from their last save point.

Outside of his own games, Marth is also a notable part of the backstory of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Awakening}}'', and two of its protagonists, [[Chrom]] and [[Lucina]], are his distant descendants. He has made frequent appearances as an optional bonus character, unrelated to the main story, in many ''Fire Emblem'' games from ''Awakening'' onward; he is available in ''Awakening'' via SpotPass and DLC, ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'' via [[amiibo]] and DLC, and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}'' via amiibo as an illusory unit. He features prominently in ''Fire Emblem'' crossover productions, including the video games ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}},'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Warriors}}'' as one of their many playable characters, and the series' two trading card games. He was also the star of a short-lived direct-to-video [[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime)|anime adaptation of ''Mystery of the Emblem'']] in 1997, which featured actor [[wikipedia:Hikaru Midorikawa|Hikaru Midorikawa's | Outside of his own games, Marth is also a notable part of the backstory of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Awakening}}'', and two of its protagonists, [[Chrom]] and [[Lucina]], are his distant descendants.

Melee''. In the OVA, Marth's English voice was provided by [[wikipedia:Spike Spencer|Spike Spencer]], albeit erroneously localizing his name as "Mars". He did not receive another English speaking role again for 18 years, until the 2015 release of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.}}'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. From this point on, including ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Marth would be fully voiced in English by [[wikipedia:Yuri Lowenthal|Yuri Lowenthal]]. | ||
