As an all-rounder character, Mario generally has a great balance of offensive and defensive capabilities. Mario ranks 7th on the tier list, in the B tier.
Like in his appearances before the game, Mario is voiced by Charles Martinet, albeit via recycled voice clips from Super Mario 64 but low pitched. He is considered an 'all-around' character (like in most games) due to none of his attributes being higher than the other, a trait that has carried on with him in subsequent games. Mario ( マリオ, Mario) appears as a starter character in Super Smash Bros.
