Super Mario is a six-button character with a combo-heavy playstyle, making use of a variety of moves to excel at both aerial and ground-based combos the extensiveness and diversity of his combo strings allow him to be an unpredictable and deadly character, but such advantages are counterbalanced by his lower-than-average damage output and Power usage, with EX Specials using 1000 Power and Hypers using the character's entire Power bar.Ĭomboing is effectively Mario's core strategy and most effective way of dealing with opponents, being able to go from ground-to-air and back again, and vice versa, with his crouching Ⓩ acting as a bulk-standard launcher that allows Super Mario to follow up with his Super Jump in order to lead into an aerial rave Super Mario is not particularly difficult to combo with, though his more extensive and damaging combos require the use of Power, particularly his EX Specials, which can potentially leave Super Mario without Power if not used efficiently or if mistimed.
