We don't mention specific mods on non-mod related pages.
(→In Super Smash Bros.: added details about the handicap bosses use along with a few small details. I am 99.9% sure the damage is due to the handicap as well but I'm looking to get verification on that. Also, added a model image.) |

As Metal Mario, Mario is invulnerable, but also extremely heavy. As such, Metal Mario can easily defeat enemies by running into them, can withstand heavy winds, becomes immune to poison clouds, and can walk underwater; however, since he is extremely heavy, he cannot jump higher or farther, he cannot swim, and he sinks in quicksand faster. | As Metal Mario, Mario is invulnerable, but also extremely heavy.

Crucially, he also has a [[handicap]] that allows him to take around 200% before being possible to launch, though it changes based on [[difficulty]] setting. Additionally, Metal Mario is to send the player's character flying slightly farther than normal from normal attacks and throws, but will deal the same damage as Mario. However, he is very weak to [[edge-guarding]]: once a player manages to knock him off the stage, he will often fail to recover due to his extremely fast falling speed, despite the decent distance from his [[Super Jump Punch]]. He also has an 8-frame [[jumpsquat]], making any aerial attack much more sluggish. | ||
Metal Mario doesn't sprint and rarely jumps; he simply walks from place to place at a steady pace. He also rarely uses his [[Fireball]] attack, even though a normal CPU Mario uses it often, and {{SSB|Kirby}} will not gain a [[copy ability]] from [[inhale (Kirby)|inhaling]] him. On lower difficulties, he mainly walks around the stage and hardly attacks, but becomes more powerful on higher difficulties. | Metal Mario doesn't sprint and rarely jumps; he simply walks from place to place at a steady pace.

Despite his power in [[1P Game]], many players consider him to be far worse than normal Mario. Despite his aforementioned strengths and knockback resistance, he is less resilient than his 1P Game counterpart, as his handicap is removed; additionally, his buffed knockback is neutralised. For all intents and purposes, playable Metal Mario is regular Mario with altered movement physics. | ||
Metal Mario maintains some knockback-based [[armor]], able to resist weak attacks at lower [[percentage]]s, while being immune to {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Blaster]] and [[Luigi Cyclone]]'s 1%-dealing hitboxes. He also has reduced [[combo]] potential, as he cannot efficiently follow up with combos after attacking due to an abysmal short hop, 8-frame jumpsquat, and awkward aerial and dashing physics. Metal Mario's fall speed of 100 is faster than his fast fall speed of 72 - the only character in the game like this - making Metal Mario fall ''slower'' when initiating a fast fall. Because of how fast Metal Mario falls, while it helps with vertical survivability, it hinders his [[recovery]], makes getting out of combos very difficult, and also makes him vulnerable to [[chain grab]]s. Notably, Metal Mario's equivalent to [[Mario Tornado]] arguably hinders his recovery instead of helping, gaining almost no height. | |||

Metal Mario is joined by '''Metal Luigi''', the metallic form of [[Luigi]] who appears if {{SSBM|Luigi}} is unlocked, thus making the battle even more difficult. Similar to Metal Mario, Metal Luigi is considered to be Luigi under the permanent effect of the Metal Box (albeit with increased falling speed like his metallic brother). Defeating both characters will result in a Metal Bros. KO bonus where the player receives 8,000 points. | |||

The stage references the Cavern of the Metal Cap where the Metal power-up form is first obtained from ''Super Mario 64''. The music track is based on the Metal boss battle theme song from ''Melee'', which features Metal Mario as a mini-boss. During the battle, Mario is slow but has increased defense and attack, referencing how the Metal power-up form grants the player increased attack power and resistance to damage, but makes them move slower. | ||
