Mario makes his first appearance in a fighting game in ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a [[starter character]]. His design is based on his appearances in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party}}''. Like in many ''Mario'' spin-off games, he is touted as the most balanced character with no real strengths or weaknesses; therefore, new players of the game are encouraged to play as Mario in order to learn the game's fundamentals. In addition, his younger twin brother {{SSB|Luigi}} appears as a [[clone]], albeit with a few different attributes. | Mario makes his first appearance in a fighting game in ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a [[starter character]].

Mario's [[neutral special move]] is [[ | Mario's [[neutral special move]] is [[Fire Ball]], which is moderately fast but deals minor damage. His [[up special move]] is [[Super Jump Punch]], which hits multiple times and is used as his recovery move. Lastly, Mario's [[down special move]] is [[Mario Tornado]], in which he whirls his body akin to a {{iw|mariowiki|Spin Jump}} in order to damage foes around him with a series of [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|discus clotheslines]] and [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning back fist|spinning backfists]]. | ||
Mario boasts a potent combo game, thanks primarily to his spammable up tilt and versatile down aerial. His edge-guarding potential is also respectable: down smash, forward aerial and back aerial possess respectable power, while down aerial can [[meteor smash]]. Mario also sports two powerful KOing options in his up smash and back throw, while his forward smash and forward throw also sport KO potential, albeit to a lesser degree in comparison. Lastly, Mario's recovery is fairly good, thanks to Super Jump Punch's traveling distance and Mario Tornado's ability to cover more distance via [[button mashing]]. | Mario boasts a potent combo game, thanks primarily to his spammable up tilt and versatile down aerial.
