Mario has received a mix of [[nerf]]s and [[buff]]s from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', but his buffs are flooded over by his more pronounced flaws from his previous incarnation, and the changes to ''Brawl''{{'}}s mechanics hinder Mario more than they help him. As a result, he was heavily nerfed overall. The removal of [[wavedashing]] hinders Mario's mobility and grounded approach, while the introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] limits Mario's combo game, and his up and down throws cannot chaingrab anymore because of that. His already mediocre KO power was reduced even further, almost completely removing his back throw's KO potential and his back aerial is still weak for its type, KOing opponents onstage only at very high percentages, forcing him to overuse his forward and up smashes to secure a KO, with the former being slower, and his smash attacks in general are less useful overall, with forward smash's sweetspot being weaker and is now outprioritized by a stronger sourspot while up smash and the front hit of down smash also deal less damage and knockback.

Overall, Mario is consider less effective than he was in SSB64 and Melee. He is one of the characters to have been the most severely nerfed in his transition from Melee.
