Mario: Difference between revisions

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Mario, as any character, can use [[equipment]] to boost his stats at the cost of others. In addition to generic badges, Mario can wear certain additional equipment, including shoes (speed), overalls (defense), and gloves (attack). Finally, Mario can use alternate special moves, provided that these moves are found during normal gameplay. One exception, in the Nintendo 3DS version, is the Explosive Punch, which is unlocked only if the player has a combined score of 200,000 points in Target Blast and the third Challenge Panel has been revealed.

Like every other character previously playable in the series, Mario returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character. Mario appeared in the game's reveal teaser trailer, alongside Link (in his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'') and new fighter [[Inkling]]. Mario's fire-based attacks, such as his sweet-spotted forward smash, called Fireball, and Mario Finale, have brighter, flashier effects, including the appearance of smoke. Mario also has [[Cappy]] right alongside him, though he seems to be limited to aesthetic. Most of his moves are unaltered, though his Super Jump Punch now has a random chance of producing [[regional coin]]s found in the [[Metro Kingdom]] from ''Super Mario Odyssey''. In addition, Mario's [[Fire Mario]] and [[Wario]]-based costumes were replaced with the Wedding and Builder outfits from ''Super Mario Odyssey''. One of these two costumes, the Builder Outfit, was first used for Mario's artworks for ''Super Mario Maker''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', three more of Mario's standard attacks receive names: His up smash is the Lead Headbutt, his forward air is the Meteor Knuckle, and his back throw is the Airplane Swing. As with several other returning characters, the ''Mario''-series victory theme has been slightly shortened and sped up compared to in the previous installments.
