Mario

Plummer Extraordinaire, Mario's taunt says alot about the type of Character he is. Mario is just quite simply "Di Real Big Man". Mario is one of the characters that you can start using the first day you you begin playing SSBM and many weeks, months or even years after you will find yourself still playing with Mario. His moves are fairly quick to excecute and his Smash (A button) moves are among the most powerful in the game. His special moves (b button) are also easyily excecutable and quite relevant.

CHARCTER TYPE:

Medium Range and Versitile

Special moves

fireball
cape
super jump punch
Mario tornado

Ratings

Speed/Control: 15/20

Mario's speed is slightly above average. Players don't seem to have an issue with his speed as Mario moves around the battlefield easily his moves are quick and easy.Mario is easily controlled and very responsive to user commands. slouchy either.

Power: 12/15

Mario is quite simply a very powerful character.He is very effective and doing the main purpose in the game, kicking your opponent off the platform.

Stamina/Recovery: 11/15

Mario is no tank, he is a medium character and therefore can be dispached from the field upon passing 100% in damage.

Looks/Finese: 13/15

Any gamer not Familiar with the name of mario is no gamer at all. quite frankly once the game is mention mario is the first thing to come to many peoples minds. His main costume is a blue jumper, red long sleeve shirt, red cap with "M" (for Mario duh) on it, dark brown shoes and don't forget em blue eyes and the mouthstache. Marios animation stay true to how we have gotten used to saying him and it is well transferred into SSBM.

Sound: 7/10

Mario is sounding as good as ever, everything from the sound of his fireball to his taunt is great.

Combo: 18/20

Mario is a character that can easily put a string of moves together to get a good amount of damage, whether it is in a corner or ot a flat area. Experiment with different moves for best results.

Taunt/Winning Pose: 5/5

Mario is a character that kicks ass right out of the box, and will continue to kick ass when you have undersanded to mechanics of SSBM. one of the coolest taunts and is nice to drop in everynow and again to rub salt in the wounds of te opponent you kicked off the stage.

Total 81/100
