Mario's palette swaps in SSB
- Yellow: Based on the yellow-and-purple outfit of his rival, Wario.
- Blue: A red/blue reversal of his traditional colors. This is seen as a partial reference to Mario's varying appearances in games prior to Nintendo's officially establishment of Mario's outfit of consisting of a red shirt, blue overalls and red hat. In various earlier games, Mario occasionally also appeared with sometimes a blue hat, red shirt with blue overalls or a red hat, blue shirt with red overalls. However, this particular combination of a blue hat, blue shirt, with red overalls was never used in any game.
- Brown: A reference to Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew.
- Green: The color inverse of his traditional colors. Contrary to popular belief it is not a reference to Luigi. However, it does coincidentally resemble Luigi's colors from the arcade version of Mario Bros box art.
