Template:Mergefrom Template:Character-infobox Metal Mario is an independent character in the Mario universe, usually being one of the fiercer end-game opponents in the Mario sport games or Super Smash Bros. series. It was spun-off from Metal Mario, which was a form of Mario rather than a distinct character.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros., Metal Mario is a stubborn mid-boss before the game's final boss. He is far less powerful and is susceptible to much more damage than in Super Mario 64. Nevertheless, he is a much more durable character than the regular Mario. Heavier and more resistant to knockback in general than any other character in the game, he's very difficult to beat. In fact, only when Metal Mario's damage exceeds 180% can he be knocked down.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

He returned as a mid-boss in Super Smash Bros. Melee and as one of the game's many trophies. In this game, Metal Mario would occasionally fight alongside his brother, Metal Luigi. Additionally, players could pick up the Metal Box item and gain metal forms for a limited time, boasting the same attritbutes as Metal Mario.
