Mario (マリオ, Mario) appears as a default character in Super Smash Bros. He is considered an "all-around" character (as in most games). Mario is currently ranked 7th on the tier list for good offensive capabilities, good defense and speed, and having an excellent combo ability. He has powerful smash attacks, one of the best projectiles and a linear yet versatile recovery. However, he has bad range (besides Fireballs), which limits his approach options.
