Mario

Mario is, to date, one of the most famous video game characters ever, and is the titular main protagonist of the Super Mario video game series by Nintendo. He is often seen as the mascot for the company by many. In the Mario Games, he usually ends up saving Princess Peach and defeating Bowser, his arch nemesis and King of the Koopas.

In M.U.G.E.N, he has been made several times by numerous creators, which are listed below. With several different releases, Mario is among one of the most popular characters for the game, as well as being a character with many different takes on him. In fact, ShinRyoga & Neo Ankh's Super Mario and Team S.M.R.T.'s Homer Simpson were once ranked as the most downloaded MUGEN characters in history.

Hanyou's SuperMario64


This version of Mario was created by Hanyou. He is based mostly on his appearance in Super Mario 64, hence the title. His sprites appear to have been made with screenshots from a straight emulation of the game. His attacks all come from Super Mario 64 and various other Nintendo 64 titles. Strangely Kung Fu Man is mentioned in his CNS file.

Gameplay
SuperMario64 has worked up quite a reputation of being one of the cheapest characters of all time for many reasons. There are numerous flaws in his design, which range from minor details such as his relatively small size, making it harder to hit him, to major flaws, such as the ridiculous power behind his various attacks. SuperMario64's projectiles are very potent and can easily lock an enemy into a blocking or hitstun position when spammed. He also possesses various helpers, which include the Piranha Plant, Penguin, Captain Falcon, Luigi, Banjo-Kazooie and Link; each of them cost very little to summon and deal potent amounts of damage. Even worse than this are his supers, which can do tons of damage. And to top things off, Captain Falcon is the only helper that goes away when hit by the opponent, while the others are immune to attacks. Two of his supers are very notable, which will be covered in the following paragraphs.

SuperMario64's first notorious super is his Mario Kart 64, which transforms him into the Mario Kart 64 version of himself. He then proceeds to drive over his foe, with the rest of the racers from Mario Kart 64 following him in three-second intervals; this makes it one of the longest attacks in M.U.G.E.N history(Yoshi's attack is unblockable). Regardless if one of the racers is hit or the attack successfully finishes, Mario will appear hanging on Diddy Kong's airplane and will crash into the ground. The last portion of this attack is unblockable and deals about an eighth to a quarter of a normal character's HP.

SuperMario64's second notorious super is his Caught by the Tail technique, where he spins Bowser around by the tail. The attack is unavoidable due to it taking up the entire screen in length and can shred half of any normal character's HP in one use. Worse yet, due to the alignment of its collision boundaries, it hits the opponent more times (and deals more damage) if they block.

Finally, the main reason why SuperMario64 is considered to be one of the cheapest characters of all time is because of his AI. The flawed engine allows him to spam every one of his attacks without delay or reliance on the super bar whatsoever. This allows him to summon a ton of assists that cover up the screen very quickly, drain the time counter (if not set to infinite) with his long Mario Kart technique, kite his enemies infinitely with his overpowered projectiles, or just K.O. them outright with two Caught by the Tail executions. This makes it extremely hard to beat SuperMario64, even with another cheap character or a character who is immune to projectiles, such as Motaro or the ghost form of Super Mario, all because of the Caught by the Tail move.

Stickman14's SuperMario64 Edit
Due to his A.I. being extremely cheap and overpowered, Stickman14 made an edit of SuperMario64 with balanced A.I (although his helpers are still overpowered), different jumping sprites, and weaker attacks. It also adds two more color palettes (one based on Luigi, and the other being inverted colors although they do not fully color Mario's sprites). He can also do a Shun Goku Satsu and summon two characters at a time. He also chooses to constantly summon Captain Falcon at any time.

ShinRyoga & Neo Ankh's Super Mario


ShinRyoga and Neo Ankh's Super Mario is arguably the most well known Mario character in M.U.G.E.N. This Mario is designed to pull off numerous combos which can do quite a lot of damage and lock down the enemy. His moves are very simple to execute and are diversified in function. To make up for this, however, even EX special moves cost a power bar and his super moves cost his entire energy. Additionally, approaches are difficult because before Super Mario's first power bar, his attacks are mostly close-ranged and weak. This makes Super Mario easy to pick up and play but hard, if not impossible, to master.

This character is often criticized for having an AI that is nearly flawless and can gain power in no time at all. A common misconception by newer players is that Super Mario is a cheap character. More experienced players, however, have found ways to play around his brutal AI.

This version of Mario is notable for its three special forms selectable when picking the palette for Mario. These three forms are Matrix Mario, Ghost Mario and Stone Mario. These three versions change Mario's fighting style, giving him advantages and disadvantages for every form.

Matrix Mario (+ or )


This version shows Mario in black with a green matrix-like aura that follows him whenever he moves. The main benefits you gain from this form of Mario is that he can perform combos much more faster allowing you to gain more hit combo attacks double then what he could do normally. This style is useful for players who need to get more of a lock down on enemies. However the downsides is that he cannot do as much damage meaning you would need to hit your opponent more to get the same amount of damage as normal, he cannot grab his opponent and he cannot use EX specials. Matrix Mario can only use Super Flame as super.

Ghost Mario (+ or )


This version shows the spirit version of Mario shown as a white transparent ghost. The major benefit of this Mario is that you are invincible and can't receive any damage from your opponent. It also gives you a full power bar allowing you to use a Level 3 super from the start and the ability to teleport around the stage. However, this ability comes with a big cost; your health will start to drop until it is all gone, meaning that you have to battle your opponent fast. This version of Mario is not suitable for long battles or enemies with large amounts of health. Sometimes, it is even impossible for Ghost Mario to win fairly because of the amount of time he has to stay alive, or the health of the opponent. Ghost Mario can use the 3 supers.

Note: when you first get the download you won't be able to access this version of Mario. In order to play as this Mario go into "SuperMario.def" and add "pal11 = MarioColor11.act" between pal10 and pal12.

Stone Mario (+ or )


This version is a stone version of Mario. This version of Mario is based on him wearing the Tanooki Suit thus giving him the ability to turn into a statue which can protect him and when changing back to Stone Mario can deal massive damage to opponents near by. The main advantage of Stone Mario is that he can deal more damage but at the cost of moving around more slowly and his fireballs stay in one place thus at a disadvantage against fast opponents. If a deduction of speed is of no concern for the player, this would be a good style for them. Stone Mario cannot use any of the 3 supers due to the constantly decreasing power meter, unless you have Ghost Mario (or any character that restores the power meter automatically) as your team mate.

Orochihomer's Super Mario Edit
This edit by Orochihomer is almost identical to the original Super Mario characters, other than a few minor changes including the addition of a move that represents Mario's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

SM853's Super Mario Edit


This edit of Super Mario, by SM853, has more moves based on Super Smash Bros Brawl. For example, this Mario has all of his Brawl costumes, can use a reflector cape, a new intro against Luigi, and, like Orochihomer's edit, his Super Flame super is replaced with his Final Smash. He also has MvC styled backgrounds, and has some of his classic soundclips. However, it only has a few of his Brawl sounds and other voices of him from SM64 and Mario Kart 64. His supers can now be performed by simply pressing D, DF, F, a/b/c. He had a new taunt, but SM853 deleted it because the new taunt had glitches.

He also made him compatible with some more chars for the special intro. They are Evil Ryu, Evil Ken and Evil Dan. Dark Chun-li was not added, because she was already in the list. He also made Super Edit! Luigi and Super Edit! Wario.(Also known as  Super Mario, Super Luigi, and Super Wario.)

Tanicfan22's Mario Edits and Creations


Tanicfan22 has made an edit to Mario. He added some effects (frozen and burned), SF3 Hitsparks, making the Super Hammer stop faster (in order so that the opponent doesn't fall down), adding new portraits, adding a original palette and a NES palette (although they need some more work). He also has created a silly voicepack for him. The latest version has a new soundpack and palette as well as a Power charge move.

Tanicfan22 has also made a Symbiote edit of Mario, which is named Symbiote Pocket Mario. He is both a sprite and palette edit of Mario. Tanicfan22 also made 2 Marios, one is from SMB1 and the other is from SMB3. They are not good. The SMB3 version can be downloaded at Tanicfan22's site on download section and is an edit of Sugio's Luigi and is somewhat cheap, and its taunt freezes M.U.G.E.N. Tanicfan22 also made Symbiote Pocket Mario, Kart Mario, Mario from Super Mario World from the NES pirate and Luigi Clones.

teeno312's Symbiote Super Mario Edit


teeno312 also made a edit to Mario, making him symbiote. This gives him increased jump height and strength. Symbiote Super Mario is much like Shadow/Cosmic Mario.

There is another similar Mario edit, named Symbiote Pocket Mario. This version is created by Tanicfan22.

mumin's Super Mario Edit
A Japanese author known as mumin made three versions of Mario using ShinRyoga's sprites. This two edits are very cheap as they can easily defeat known cheap characters, such as Rare Akuma, A-Bomb, or Omega Tom Hanks. His characters are Eternal Second Runner-up, Mario-of-Anger and Will of Prison Flame.

Unknown Author's Fire Mario Edit
This edited version of Mario is called Fire Mario, but it's made by an unknown author. This version has Meldrak's dos2win converter. There is also a Fire Luigi.

Cristian Ciomic's Fire Mario Edit
Cristian Ciomic's Fire Mario is an edit of Unknown Author's Fire Mario (Originally by ShinRyoga). Added new palettes named Fire Luigi, NES Mario (Which came from Tanicfan22's edit) and old style Fire Mario, added win quotes, edited data (such as life, power, attack and defence), edited run/walk speed, edited number of air jumps allowed. This also makes him hard to take down.

mugendd2007's Evil Mario Edit

Pocket Mario


A pocket sized Super Smash Bros. Mario created by N64Mario.

His moveset is comprised of his attacks in Super Smash Bros. for the N64, as well as his voice clips having been ripped from various N64 Mario titles as well. The graphics are based on those seen on Pocket Fighter, hence NGPC. His name implies his size; pocket-sized, indicating he's hard to hit and he has many opportunities to connect with a deadly combo. Recommended for battles against characters with relatively hard A.I.

Metal Mario


Same as SSB Pocket Mario, but with more attack and defence. It's also made by N64Mario.

Old School Mario

 * Main Article: Old School Mario



Another Mario clone but this time it is from the Interplay version of Mario teaches Typing. This character is very annoying and tricky to beat, because each time he gets hit, he will die, and come back.

Thomas Hisei's NES Mario (SMB1)


This Mario is the NES version of Mario, created by Thomas Hisei. Mario from the NES is primitive, but he carries a lot of nostalgic value. NES Mario controls like the NES version Mario, however, this means his only attack is stomping on his opponents, making him basic, however, this can make him cheap when used by the player. If he is hit, he turns small, and the only way to make him big again is by pressing any button, other than the one that makes him jump; if he is hit while small, he instantly dies.

Basara-kun's NES Mario (SMB1)


This version of Mario by Basara-kun, is much bigger than Thomas Hisei's version. This NES Mario can do some attacks from Super Mario Bros., such as his coin punch that knocks coins out of the opponent, but also appears to use moves based off Mario's Super Smash Bros. moveset.

Unlike most Mugen characters this NES Mario cannot do basic attacks such as punching and kicking instead he relies on his special moves.

otto's NES Mario (SMB1)


In this version by otto, Mario is in his smaller form. This Mario is made for the SMB1 Level 1-1 Stage meaning he can only jump on his foes.



otto also made another Mario version, named Satuzinki NES Mario. This Mario is a cheap version and has many clones.

Leo-22-M's Rare Mario (SMB1)


Another version of Mario (SMB1) is Rare Mario Bros, made by Leo-22-M. A lot bigger than Thomas Hisei's version, this version of Mario is rumored to be cheap, but it just has bloated stats, and funny attacks such as Kamehamahas, Spin Kicks, Teleportation, Shorokens, and farting. But fortunately, its AI just sit there and charges up its power, but it will barely attack you. It's a little awkward to control, due to the fact it has really light gravity.

Stryfe's NES Mario (SMB1)


Inspired by the stage Mushroom_Kingdom_1-1, Stryfe decided to make a NES Mario version from SMB1, similar to Thomas Hisei's version.

tmtm's NES Mario (SMB1)


This smaller form of Mario, named High Speed Mario, is made by tmtm. This Mario can be really cheap, but in return, can get K.O.d in one hit. It can also shoot clones of itself and hurt people by running into them.

tomoki's NES Mario (SMB1)


This NES Mario is made by tomoki. He only has fireballs as attacks.

mituba's NES Mario voiced by Syuzo (SMB1)


This NES Mario made by mituba is voiced by Syuzo Matsuoka. It is an NES Mario spriteswap meaning he can only jump and dies in one hit.

Chibi Mario

 * Main article: Chibi Mario
 * This Mario is somewhat tiny and is very simple, who only has all basics and a fireball.

Toy Mario
This version of Mario is created by nesmario123. In this version, Mario's movements are robotic, and he is really small. There is also a Toy Luigi. He only has one attack as well.

Kung Fu Mario (SMB1)
Another version of Mario from SMB1. Created by nesmario123, Mario sometimes appear as Kung Fu Man and Ken, which gives Mario the name Kung Fu Mario. He is also a spriteswap of him.

Kart Fighter Mario

 * Main article: Kart Mario



Mario also appeared in a NES pirate named Kart Fighter. There are three Mario versions made from Kart Fighter, one by nesmario123, one by Exclamation_Question and one by Tanicfan22.

ZenonPivot's Kung Fu Mario


A Mario based off of Kung Fu Man, having moves identical to that of Kung Fu Man. This Mario is created by ZenonPivot. He is looked down due to him being a poorly drawn spriteswap of Kung Fu Man, as well as a shared opinion of the sprites not even resembling said character. Kung Fu Mario also has an evil version, which is tinted green and has outlandishly high stats.

Symbiote Kung Fu Mario Edit


Dingybird2012 made a symbiote version of ZenonPivot's Kung Fu Mario. Its a very Highly Strong character, like the other Symbiotes

SNES Mario (Super Mario All-Stars)


This Mario version made by Dingybird2012 has sprites from the SMB3 game in Super Mario All-Stars. It uses the Infamous SMVC EOH Template by Infinity Mugen Team. But it is still a beta and its supers barely do any damage. He also has Spiderman hurt sprites.

Jermboy27's Tanooki Mario (SMB3)


This version of Mario made by Jermboy27 is wearing the Tanooki Suit from SMB3. It can be like a plan character as he can jump, duck, and fly, but is glitchy and poorly made, though. There may also be another version, but, just with the tail.

SMA4Mario (SMB3Adv)


Another version of Super Mario from SMB3 Advance is made by Tako and Higure. It has strange moves and a KO voice that is from Dio Brando. But it's better than their other bad creations. He only has one super, and one special. 6tails6 is now making a improved version.

Donkeymario (Mario vs. Donkey Kong NES)


Made by Tako, this version of Mario named Donkeymario, is based out of Donkey Kong, an arcade game which was ported over to the NES. It also has strange attacks and is missing sprites. There is also a edit of Donkeymario named Jumpman.

Mario (Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga)


Tako also made a Mario from Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga. It might be better than their other creations because it actually functions, but sometimes out of place sprites. Also, it has 3 different movesets activated by the Start button, a SSB-themed mode, a SNES-themed mode, and a Wing Cap-themed mode that can restore his life.

Nimaime's Famicom Warriors 2 Mario (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)


This Mario is part of the Famicom Warriors team made by Nimaime. This Mario can only jump on and hammer his opponents.

Mario (Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga)


Another version of Mario, from Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga, is created by Shazzo. Shazzo also created Luigi from the same game, but they're not very good.

Paper Mario


Shazzo made a Paper Mario, too. He is a Spriteswap of CvS Styled Axel Stone, by Actarus. Shazzo also made a Paper Luigi. Their stats are slightly bloated making them slightly cheap.

Bigshowoffall's Edit


Bigshowoffall edited Shazzo's M&L:SS Mario. He added moves from the Smash Bros. series.

mariotime's Mario (Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga)


This version of Mario, created by mariotime. has additional moves from SSB. mariotime also created Luigi from the same game with SSB moves minus the Final Smash.

Thunderbert's Mario (Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga)


Another Mario version has been created by Thunderbert. It has a brutal, Super Mario-esuqe AI that is able to pull heavy combos, even with its limited arsenal of attacks. It is also very small, making it difficult to hit.

l-jumanji's Mario (Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga)


Another Mario version has been created by l-jumanji. This Mario crashes M.U.G.E.N when it is AI controlled. The download link is currently offline.

codys1993's Mario Edits


codys1993's Mario is from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, an edit and spriteswap of Stickman14's Luigi. codys1993 also edited Stickman14's Luigi, as well as another edited version of Mario, an edit of Warner's Luigi (unavailable). This Mario will also repeatedly say "Lucky" when he blocks, attacks and gets hit, so he can be slighty annoying.

Malleo

 * Main article: Malleo



Malleo is a parodied version of Mario. He is the brother of Weegee, yet he is not as well known as Weegee. He has been made once by Freddery II aka Nexphext, and once by Yagoshi.

Freddery II's Mario (SML)


Freddery II created a version of Mario, featuring his graphics from Super Mario Land. it is a spriteswap of NES Mario.

Paper Mario


This version of Paper Mario is made by Ermac Won, whose Paper Mario is larger and generally considered better than Shazzo's Paper Mario. A common problem is using him in MUGEN 1.0: In order to make him usable in the newest version, the version has to be changed from "06.14.2003" to "04.14.2002" which is located in this Mario's def file.

Pesky Plumber Mario


Ermac Won also made another Mario, named Pesky Plumber Mario. It uses KFM as a base. He used his Smash KFUpper as Mario's hammer swing and Pesky Plumber Mario's other moves are based on Ryu. Pingurules noticed that and decided to edit this character to replace Kung Fu Man's sprites with some blocking sprites of Mario. He will also make Pesky Plumber Luigi as an edit of Mario. Luigi will play like Ken.

KoopaKingdom.com's Mario


Another version of Pesky Mario, but this version of Mario is a spriteswap of Shao Kahn and some sprites of him are still there. In fact, all of KoopaKingdom's characters are spriteswaps of various Mortal Kombat characters.

This Mario's gameplay is very buggy much like the Shao Kahn character he was swapped from. He will also get stuck while throwing someone and will jump alot even worse is that all of his attack do more than twice than normal damage.

MUGENX's Mario (SMW)


This Mario is from Super Mario World, which was created by MUGENX. In this version, Mario is in his smaller form, but his sprite is a lot larger than usual. This version has moves based off of SSBB. However it can only face one direction unless it does a attack. As most of MUGENX's other characters do, if he hits you near the edge of the screen, you can actually "lose a life" (indicated by target icons near your character portrait). There are also other chars in this style such as Kirby, Samus, Link, and Yoshi.

Dr. M's Mario (SMW)


One of the oldest versions of Mario, this one is from SMW and is made by Dr. M. In this version, Mario is in his taller form, also having his cape. It also has a unusual ability: being able to steer in midair during a jump, even after being knocked over, but this makes it hard to airblock though. He uses various SMW items and enemies as weapons, and can summon the Super Mario Kart crew.

Chaseallendiaz's Fighting Mario (SMW)


This Mario is from SMW, created by Chaseallendiaz aka Dr. Your Mom. It is based of the flash video series, Power Star on YouTube. He is still a beta, and only has three specials and two supers. Chaseallendiaz also created Fighting Luigi.

Mario Combat Deluxe Mario


This version of Mario is from the online game called Mario Combat Deluxe. It is made by Txpot. This Mario has no CLSN boxes during his gethit animations and little to no AI action.

Metal Mario (SSB)


Another Mario clone, but this time its a Metal Mario rip from Super Smash Bros 64. Created by Txpot, Metal Mario cannot be knocked back and grabbed, making him a little cheap like he always was.

B-F Mario


Another Mario version done by Txpot. The sprites are from Bizzare-Fighter. This version only works in M.U.G.E.N 1.0. This Mario uses Yoshi and Toad as a shield. He also carries attacks from SMB 1, Mario Bros, Lost Levels, SMB3, SMW, Mario Golf, Dr. Mario, and Mario Kart. Compared to Txpot's other creations, though, he has very easy AI. Some of his basic CLSN's are also off, and one of his supers can very easily be escaped from. He does not have a Mario voice, but Jonthan Joestar's voice.

Plom5-1-00's Mario (SSBM)


This version of Mario is a chibi character, but has moves based off of SSBM. This version is created by Plom5-1-00.

However it is very weak and most characters will beat it.

SNS's Mario (SSBB)


This version of Mario contains stop-motion photography of graphics made in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is created by SNS, also responsible for creating SSBB Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. These characters are best known for their abusive spam tactics, poor photography, inconsistent scale factor, lack of loyalty to original movesets, incorrect graphic usage, and 90% of their attacks being completely unblockable. He also may be a shotoclone, and also posses a flash kick. He also has very annoying grabs, which he will constantly spam.

S.Nara's Mario (SSBB)


Another version of Mario from SSBB is made by S.Nara. This version is more poorly made than SNS's version, due to the fact that most sprites are oddly used, it is also very buggy as well.

119way's Mario (KOF)


This Mario version is made by 119way, a Mario with a more realistic-looking appearance. This Mario is a sprite edit of Billy Kane, having a similar fighting style. His attacks are very simlar to B-F Mario, as in using many powerups of the game.

SephirothX2004's Mario (KOF)


Another KOF Mario is made by SephirothX2004. This one has less attacks than the latter, but has different intros and different Mario voice clips.

SC1614's KOF Mario


There is another KOF Mario, and has only one super, being the worst out of all KOF Marios. It may be incomplete

Paper Mario


Another Paper Mario version is made by jakobthecool867. It is missing sprites and only has 2 attacks. It also can become partially invincible at times.

Referee Mario


While Referee Mario only has two attacks, he cannot be hit through normal means due to him having absolutely no hitboxes on any of his animations, other than the red attack hitboxes for both of his attacks.

Trivia

 * Ghost Mario can use Super Star, though it is unnecessary since he is already invincible in this form.
 * Mario along with Ronald McDonald is one of the most remade characters in M.U.G.E.N.
 * Ermac won's Pesky Plumber Mario still has Kung Fu Man sprites in it.
 * ShinRyoga´s Mario has a intro against himself, where they both punch Wario at the same time, causing him to fly away.
 * When ShinRyoga's Mario wins with his normal palette without taking any damage (or having his life increased in the Options menu), a pink aura emanates from him and a picture of him evil appears.
 * ShinRyoga's Mario (including any subsequent edits and Luigi) has a special intro against both versions of Aperson98's Donkey Kong.
 * Orochihomer's and SM853's edits use this intro against Homer Simpson, for some reason but was fixed when SM853 updated his edits.
 * SuperMario193281's Strong Super Mario edit can transform into SuperMario64 and use the Bowser Throw, and like Gold Mario its health can regenerate by using mushrooms that appear on stage (they can also KO the enemy player in one hit).
 * The super effect for Pesky Plumber Mario can sometimes reveal secrets in some backgrounds. (Such as Zitanas's SMB3 1-1 and SMB3 1-3 stages).
 * If Dr Mario's SNES Mario (with cape) is grabbed by Dancing Banana, he will turn into MK SNES Bowser in a kart for some strange reason.
 * If a few versions of Mario (Such as MUGENX's) K.Os Yu-Torahu's Ange Ushiromiya, she will fall off the screen, like in Super Mario Bros. This also happens if they are your teammate, or with Luigi.
 * MUGENX's Mario may be a Smash Bros character, but he can block like a normal character.
 * Dr. Mario appears in one of Du Zhong Tian's supers.
