Mario's forward smash is an arm thrust that produces a small blast of fire.

Update history

Mario's forward smash received one minor buff in patch 1.0.6, which made part of it irreversible. Its sourspot hitbox for all angles was also moved slightly higher. This makes Mario's forward smash one of his two only moves to have ever been changed in game updates, the other being his up tilt.

1.0.6

• Part of forward smash made irreversible.
• Hitbox 0 Y offset (all angles): 0 → 0.7.
