Mario (Breakfast)

Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, the main character of Nintendo's Mario series, and one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic faces in video games. As such, he is a playable character in Stampede Breakfast.__NOTOC__
== Attributes ==
Like the majority of his appearances in Mario spin-off titles, Mario is intended to be the most balanced character in the game with the lowest learning curve for new players to get used to the game's mechanics. He possesses average walking, dashing, and falling speeds and weight, as well as above-average air speed and jump height. This, combined with his rapid-quick attack speed, makes Mario seem like a rushdown character rather than a jack-of-all-trades character.
Mario's greatest strengths in battle are the rapid frame data of his attacks and their versatility. He has a formidable close-range game, since few other characters are a match for his attack speed. Most of his moves have fast startup, usually with low endlag as well, allowing him to continuously apply pressure to opponents as well as dip in and out of the fray to bait reactions. He also possesses a range of useful moves - his forward and down aerials are spikes, he possesses a projectile in his Fireball, a way to deal with projectiles himself with Cape, a recovery move with Super Jump Punch, and a way to push opponents off-stage with F.L.U.D.D.
However, Mario is not flawless. Most notably, most characters are able to outperform him in certain areas, such as Bowser and Donkey Kong in power, Sonic and Rainbow Dash in speed, Munchers in survivability, and Peach and Rosalina & Luma in recovery. He additionally lacks KO moves, and must rely on his smash attacks to send opponents far enough. Mario, outside of Cape, lacks any disjointed hitboxes, allowing him to be outranged by characters like Cloud and Bowser Jr. who have disjointed hitboxes.
Overall, Mario has clear strengths, which greatly outshine his weaknesses. Despite being implied to be an all-around type character, his frame data and massive combo game makes him seem more like a rushdown character in practice. Because of this and having the lowest technical curve in the game, he is ranked quite high on the tier list, and has gained a slew of tournament results in his favor, as well as dedicated mains and a large playerbase to boot.
