'''Metal Mario''' (also referred to as '''Metal-Head Mario''') is a recurring power-up and variant of [[Mario]] that first appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Metal Mario is tougher, heavier, stronger, and virtually invincible except from long falls. This form is acquired through various means, such as by picking up a [[Metal Cap]] or [[Cap Block#Super Smash Bros. series|Metal Box]] or using a [[Metal Mushroom Orb]]. Later games also feature other characters receiving the metal power-up, such as ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

Metal Mario has also sometimes appeared as a separate character from Mario, such as being a late-game boss in certain ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, one of the several opponents in ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' for the Game Boy Color, and a playable character in several ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games and other sports games. His voice varies between games, with him sharing Mario's voice (in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''), sharing Mario's voice but with a filter (in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''), or having unique lines and with a filter (such as in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''). Some of his unique lines are altered versions of Mario's lines, such as "Mia mama" as opposed to Mario's "Mama mia" and "Papà" instead of "Mama."

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a cap and outfit based on the Metal form's ''Super Mario 64'' appearance (named the [[Crazy Cap#Metal Mario Cap|Metal Mario Cap]] and the [[Crazy Cap#Metal Mario Suit|Metal Mario Suit]], respectively) can be purchased from [[Crazy Cap]] stores. The outfit costs 2,000 [[coin]]s and is available after 540 [[Power Moon]]s have been collected, and the cap costs 1,000 coins and is available after 560 Power Moons have been collected, making it one of the last outfits to obtain in the game. Aside from allowing Mario to enter [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)#Super Mario Odyssey|a specific area]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], this outfit is aesthetic and serves no other gameplay advantage. Clanking can be heard as Mario walks in the outfit, and Cappy makes an audible clink if he hits a wall when thrown. The description for the Metal Mario Suit is "''When you want to wrap yourself in nostalgia, and then in aluminum foil''," implying that Metal Mario is specifically made of aluminum.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', in the level [[High-Voltage Gauntlet]] in Bowser's portion of the [[Petal Isles]], playable characters (Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Toadette, Yoshis, and Nabbit) take on a metallic form as the level's [[Wonder Effect]]. There is also a new variant of the Metal Mario theme from ''Super Mario 64''. This variant of the metal form gives the characters a simple metal sheen and protects them from the enemies and the electricity in the level, as well as making them heavier than without the metal form. Touching electricity will charge the character, causing them to emit light for a time. Characters also have their voices filtered, though more echoey than Metal Mario's voice in the spinoffs.

There is also a new variant of the Metal Mario theme from ''Super Mario 64''. This variant of the metal form gives the characters a simple metal sheen (likely to prevent confusion among multi-colored Toads and Yoshis during multiplayer) and protects them from the enemies and the electricity in the level, as well as making them heavier than without the metal form. Touching electricity will charge the character, causing them to emit light and magnetically attract nearby coins for a time. Characters also have their voices filtered, though more echoey than Metal Mario's voice in the spinoffs.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the Metal Mario character makes his debut as a late-game boss encountered in Stage 9 out of 10 stages. He has his [[Meta Crystal|own stage]], which is playable only in the single-player mode of the game, and he has a unique series icon (being a metallic version of the Mushroom), stock icon, and a metallic-sounding announcer call unlike other games. Unlike the power-up's original invincibility, other characters can deal damage on him. He is, however, a far more durable character than the regular Mario; in fact, he is the heaviest and most resistant character in the game. When his damage percent is low, weaker attacks cannot flinch him, and attacks start flinching him only at far higher percentages. Due to his high weight, however, he has trouble recovering when he is knocked off the stage. Additionally, Metal Mario does not dash; he mostly patrols the stage, only attacking when his pacing is interrupted.

On a side note, [[Kirby]] is unable to copy Metal Mario's powers, which is later possible to do in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
Metal Mario inherits Mario's attributes from the Japanese version of the game, and due to being stored as a separate character from Mario, this does not change between versions. As a result, some of his attacks have slightly different properties from Mario's in the North American and European versions, and his model has slightly different body proportions.
 
On a side note, [[Kirby]] is unable to copy Metal Mario's powers, which is later possible to do in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', due to his now being Mario with a modifier as opposed to a separate character.

Metal Mario returns in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' as the final QR Downloadable Character, being the only QR character that is not a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. His type in this game is Power, and, as in ''Mario Kart 7'', his voice is a warbled variation of Mario's voice, although he has the same voice set as Mario otherwise. He is the strongest character in the game with the fastest serves, and his shots travel very quickly through the court. Due to his power and weight, he returns Chance Shots with little effect on him (if he returns them correctly), and his Chance Shots themselves have a longer-lasting effect on his opponents. He is one of the slowest characters in the game, however, and unlike Bowser, another slow character, he has below-average reach and a poor lunge, which makes it difficult for him to predict shots and react to them. Metal Mario's racket costs 1750 coins to buy at the Clubhouse for Miis to be able to use, where his racket can be paired with other Mario-themed costumes to get a boost in stats. Unlike the other Mario forms, only Metal Mario's racket is available, hinting at his later release as a QR character.

Some of the merchandise featuring Metal Mario includes his eye details such as the The World of Nintendo plush and minifigures as well as the ''Super Mario Power Up'' series. Other merchandise, however, lack the eye details, more closely resembling Metal Mario in most games, such as the plush from the San-ei brand as well as the pull-up race cars.
