| Playable Characters |
| Mario |
|
|
This famed plumber has almost all of his signature moves from Super Mario Bros (NES), including his fireball (B button). When his jumping uppercut (UP + B) connects with an opponent, the attact resonates with the familiar coin sound. When Mario taunts, he doubles in size as if he has eaten a super mushroom. Mario enters each match through a green pipe.
|
| Luigi |
|
|
Luigi has very similar signature moves as his brother, Mario, but with slight differences: Luigi's fireball is green instead of red; his jumping uppercut does not chain like Mario's (but you still hear the coin sound); and Luigi performs a different taunt. Like Mario, Luigi enters each match through a green pipe.
|
| Yoshi |
|
|
Yoshi has several signature moves that either involve an egg or his mouth (good `ol Yoshi): he can throw an egg at his opponent (egg throw, UP + B); he can throw an opponent out of his mouth (grab with Z button); he can ingest an opponent and encase them in an egg (B button); or he can block by enclosing himself in an egg (L or R button). Yoshi enters each match by hatching out of an egg.
|
| Non-Playable Characters |
| Metal Mario |
|
|
Metal Mario is one of the last enemies before Master Hand; he is not a playable character. Metal Mario has the exact moveset as Mario, but his metallic composition makes him a strong and heavy foe. He first appeared in Super Mario 64 (N64) as a power-up that allowed Mario to walk underwater.
|
| Costumes |
| Fiery Mario |
|
|
The maroon and cream color scheme is based on Foreman Spike's costume from the game Wrecking Crew (NES) and NOT the Fiery Mario costume from Super Mario Bros (NES).
|
| Wario Imposter |
|
|
The purple and yellow color scheme is based on Wario's outfit, who first appeared in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB). However, the earliest colored image I have seen with Wario in his purple and yellow outfit is on the box cover of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (GB).
|
| Fiery Luigi |
|
|
The color arrangement of this costume is similar to the one Luigi wore in Super Mario World (SNES). Luigi wore the costume after receiving a fire flower, which consequently gave him the ability to shoot fireballs.
|
| Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshi |
|
|
In Super Mario World (SNES), there are three additional playable Yoshi - Red, Blue, and Yellow - that have special abilities. Red Yoshi always spits out fire balls, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth. Blue Yoshi can fly for a fixed length of time, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth. Yellow Yoshi throws out sand clouds for a fixed length of time when he jumps, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth.

Seen as early as Super Mario Bros 3 (NES), these creatures would explode shortly after being stimulated.

| Fire Flower |
|
|
After Mario received a fire flower, he transformed to Fiery Mario and had the ability to shoot fireballs.
|
| Green Shell |
|
|
These shells were left behind Green Koopa Troopas/Paratroopas after Mario had bounced on their heads. Be careful, though, since the Koopa Troopas/Paratroopas had simply hid in their shells and would momentarily return.
|
| Red Shell |
|
|
Same as Green Shells, except they came from Red Koopa Troopas/Paratroopas.
|
| Starman |

|
Acquiring the Starman gives Mario temporary invincibility.

| Castle Peach |
|
|
Princess Peach's magnificent royal castle appears to be inhabited solely by the princess and a multitude of Toads. Bowser tried to steal the castle's Power Stars in Super Mario 64, and in Paper Mario, the surly archfiend actually lifted the castle into the stratosphere with his own filthy fortress.
