Character Sheet: Mario (Paper Mario+)

MARIO

Today, let's let the floodgates burst forth. The RPGs, being RPGs, have proved a wellspring of brand-new characters and possible major revisions of pre-existing characters. Since there are so many, I will start by covering all of the revisions first. Here they are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Bowser Jr.
7. The Koopalings
8. Koopa Troopa
8e. Dry Bones
9. Goomba
10. Piranha Plant
11. Boo
12. Blooper
13. Lakitu and Spinies
14. Monty Mole
15. Hammer Bro
16. Wiggler
17. Chain Chomp
18. Birdo
19. Petey Piranha
20. Yoshi
21. Kamek
22. Shy Guy
23. Bandit

Mario is mostly an honorary revision here, as most of his appearances this time around will be covered by Paper Mario when I get to it, so the only one that really counts here is his appearance in Super Mario RPG. In RPG, most of Mario's moves have to do with punching, jumping on enemies, and throwing fireballs, all at different levels. One major element of note is that his strongest fireball attack is the basis for the Mario Finale in Smash, so I'll be taking that into account.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Cape

Up B: Super Jump Punch

Down B: Item Box

Final Smash: Mario Finale

Entrance: Pops up from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Still okay with his various Smash taunts as most of them are reflected in game.

Next up, let's go over Luigi again!
