Mario, however, has limited [[range]] compared to characters tiered higher than him, with issues in the [[hitbox]]es of his tilts and aerials. He also has poor mobility, with subpar [[walking]] and [[dashing]] speeds, and a low air speed, also slightly limiting his combo ability. In addition to this, his [[recovery]], despite being good, is on the more predictable side against most characters, with his Super Jump Punch and Mario Tornado traveling in a linear way that isn't too difficult to attack out of. | Mario, however, has limited [[range]] compared to characters tiered higher than him, with issues in the [[hitbox]]es of his tilts and aerials.

Despite his advantages which compensate for his disadvantages, Mario still has some weaknesses that prevent him from being in the higher tiers. His attacks generally have short [[range]], allowing many characters to outspace and out[[camp]] him easily, particularly ones with some [[disjointed]] moves (most notably {{SSB|Kirby}}, Pikachu, and maybe {{SSB|Fox}}). He also lacks a reliable way to deal with projectiles, which combined with his poor mobility, gives him difficulty approaching characters such as Fox. Mario's attacks also aren't very fast, with his best finisher (up smash) having major ending lag, and only very few of his moves (such as up aerial) having notably fast [[startup]]. Mario also isn't too good at dealing with [[pressure]] due to his poor mobility, though he has good [[OoS]] options. | Despite his advantages which compensate for his disadvantages, Mario still has some weaknesses that prevent him from being in the higher tiers.
