Mario (V)

Mario (マリオ, Mario), Nintendo's long-standing mascot, returns as a playable character for the fifth time in Super Smash Bros. V. He was confirmed in the Smash V Teaser Trailer shown at E3 in 2017. His appearance has not changed since his last appearance.
Charles Martinet reprises his role as Mario's voice actor, albeit through voice clips recycled from Brawl and SSB4.
==Changes from Smash 4==
===Aesthetics===
Like every other veteran, Mario now appears much more vibrant and his appearance is more based off his appearance in his games with a small realistic touch.
===Attributes===
Mario is a bit faster.
Fall speed slightly decreased.
===Ground Attacks===
Dash attack power increased.
Up Smash power increased.
===Aerial Attacks===
Back air comes out much faster but is slightly weaker.
Down air changed back to the drill kick from Brawl.
===Grabs and Throws===
Down throw does more damage.
===Special Moves===
Fireball has been changed to a straight-firing projectile (similar to that of Fast Fireball, one of Mario's customization moves in the previous literation), and does more damage.
==Special Moves==
Move 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Fireball 	10% (early) 8% (late) 	Mario fires a ball of flames that is shot from his hand as a projectile. It is now fired straight and does more damage than before.
Side Special 	Cape 	7% 	Mario swings a yellow cape from Super Mario World that reflects projectiles and enemies. It can also be used as a brief but continuously available recovery.
Up Special 	Super Jump Punch	5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-5), 3% (hit 6) 	Mario performs a rising uppercut that releases coins from opponents it hits, which are aesthetically similar to the ones from "New Super Mario Bros. U". Its extremely fast startup (frame 3) makes it highly useful as an out of shield option. It can also KO near the upper blast line when followed by up aerials.
Down Special 	F.L.U.D.D. 	0% 	Mario pulls out F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine, which will blast aqua jets of water to push back opponents, but not damage them. Mario can change the angle of the stream.
Final Smash 	Mario Finale 	3% (bigger fireball), 2% (smaller fireball)	Mario shoots a massive, continuous spinning stream of flames horizontally across the stage. The vortex deals repeated damage and pulls the victims towards the blast line it is heading for.
==Animations and Misc.==
===Taunts===
Up - Transforms into Super Mario, as if he obtained a Super Mushroom, then shrinks back to normal size afterwards. It is based on Super Mario Bros.
Side - Twirls around and takes off his hat, saying "Woohoo!", then puts his hat back on. It is based on his "level clear" animation from New Super Mario Bros.
Down - Spins in the air and falls to the ground with his legs in the air. This is a reference to his dying animation from Donkey Kong.
===Character Selection Screen Animation===
Character Select - Mario walks towards the screen, releasing fire from his hands and making it explode.
Stage Select - He then charges up a ball of fire, facing either the left or right side of the screen.
===On-Screen Appearance===
A green Warp Pipe appears. Mario leaps out of it in an iconic pose and shouts "Let's-a go!".
===Victory Animations===
Mario winds up for a punch and steps forward while punching in front of the screen.
Mario makes fire explode from his hands then strikes a pose.
Mario does a short spin jump then strikes a strong man pose. It is almost identical to his "character chosen" animation in Super Smash Bros.
===Losing Animation===
Mario is seen clapping.
===Crowd Cheer===
“Ma-ri-o!”
===Victory Theme===
A flourished remix directly from Brawl and SSB4 based on the sound clip that would play when Mario reaches the end of a level in Super Mario Bros.
