Overview

This is Mario, humble star of a famous video game or two. You’re probably acquainted. He’s back from his globe-trotting sojourn in Super Mario Odyssey, ready to take on all challengers. His diminutive size and seemingly short reach compared to many fighters shouldn’t make you worry about his combat effectiveness. Mario careens around the battlefield like a little cannonball, moving safely with terrific aerial attacks and sparring in close with some of the quickest attacks of any brawler. Effective, direct attacks like Mario’s back air attack dropkick, down smash breakdancing, and up tilt uppercut are good both for chipping away and for going for KOs. Meanwhile, his Cape and F.L.U.D.D. special moves provide curveball options to vary his otherwise steady diet of fireballs and close-range attacks. And when dancing with alongside cliffs or between tall buildings, remember that Mario’s wall jump can help him keep away from the abyss.
