'''Metal Mario''' is a character in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' universe, usually being one of the fiercer end-game opponents in the ''Mario'' sport games or ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. He is a spin-off from [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]], which is a form of [[Mario]], rather than a distinct character. Metal Mario often plays the role of Mario's rival, suggested by his roles in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and various bios. This is also implied in the ''Mario Kart'' games, where he says "Mia mama" as opposed to Mario's "Mama mia" and "Papa" instead of "Mama".
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros.''====
[[File:SSBIconMetal.png|frame|right|16px]]
[[File:Metalmario.png|thumb|left|100px|Metal Mario in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Metal Mario makes his debut as a mid-boss encountered in Stage 9 out of 10 stages. He has his [[Meta Crystal|own stage]], which is playable only in the one player mode of the game. Unlike the power-up he is based on from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', other characters can attack and rack up damage on him. To mirror his role in ''Super Mario 64'', he is 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 walks around, patrolling the stage.
 
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 returns as a mid-boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Adventure Mode, being fought on [[Battlefield]]. In this game, Metal Mario fights alone by default, but if the player unlocks [[Luigi]], [[Metal Luigi]] joins the fray as well. They both retain their strengths from ''Super Smash Bros.''; Metal Mario and Metal Luigi are very heavy opponents who are tough to knock down the stage, but cannot recover once they are knocked down. Additionally, players can pick up the [[Metal Box]] item, turning into metal forms, boasting the same attributes as Metal Mario and Metal Luigi, though the power-up is not permanent, unlike Metal Mario and Metal Luigi. KOing Metal Mario and Metal Luigi in Adventure Mode awards the player the "Metal Bros. KO" bonus, worth 8000 points.
 
He also appears as one of the many collectable [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] in the game. [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]], a stage in the game, is reflected on the texture of Metal Mario's model.
 
Metal Mario has not appeared in the later ''Super Smash Bros.'' games as an individual, being replaced by metal battles in Classic Mode, where players face a metallic form of any character rather than only Mario.
 
===''Mario Golf''===
[[File:MetalMarioMarioGolf.png|thumb|left|200px|Metal Mario in ''Mario Golf''.]]
Metal Mario is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. He is unlocked when players collect all 108 Birdie Badges. He boasts the strongest drives from his set of clubs, meaning he can hit the ball the furthest out of any character in the game, though his sweet spot and control come at a cost. Metal Mario's ball trajectory is a strong draw, meaning that the ball has a strong curve to the right. If Metal Mario scores a [[Nice Shot]] while using a power shot, the ball goes into flames, which is shared with the other Mario characters, namely Mario and [[Baby Mario]]. Metal Mario shares the exact voice clips as Mario. In Japanese versions of the game, Metal Mario is absent.
{{br}}
===''Dr. Mario 64''===
[[File:DrMario64FinalCast.png|thumb|left|Metal Mario in the character select screen from ''Dr. Mario 64''.]]
Metal Mario returns as the final boss of [[Wario]]'s storyline in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'', where he appears as a metal version of [[Dr. Mario]]. In this game, Dr. Mario turns into Metal Mario when he accidentally eats some [[Megavitamin]]s. He can be unlocked as a playable character when the Story Mode is beaten with Wario without losing once.
{{br}}
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
[[File:MK7MetalMario.png|thumb|200px|Metal Mario in ''Mario Kart 7''.]]
After a ten year absence from appearing as an individual character, Metal Mario makes a return as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', where he is unlocked by winning the 150cc [[Special Cup]]. He is one of four drivers to enter the ''Mario Kart'' series for the first time (the other three being [[Lakitu]], [[Wiggler]], and [[Honey Queen]]). He is a Heavy class character (alongside [[Bowser]], [[Wario]], and Honey Queen), with an advantage bonus of weight and some speed. Because he ranks among the Heavy class, Metal Mario is the fastest and heaviest character in the game, but he has the lowest acceleration and handling stats. Although, Metal Mario's [[kart]]s have the same body frame size as that of the Medium class characters, which makes him a smaller target than the other Heavy and Cruiser characters. His signature emblem is a shiny, metal version of Mario's ''M'' logo. Bowser, [[Rosalina]], or Mario always appear as rivals when he is picked. Additionally, Metal Mario has his own set of voice clips from Mario, and ''Mario Kart 7'' is the first game in the ''Mario'' series where Metal Mario is given a filter to differentiate his voice from Mario's voice.
 
Metal Mario appears as the Normal and Expert Staff [[Ghost (Mario Kart)|Ghost]] for [[Neo Bowser City]] and [[Airship Fortress|DS Airship Fortress]].
 
====''Mario Kart 8''====
{{quote2|Oh, mia mama!|Metal Mario|[[Mario Kart 8]]}}
[[File:MK8N64RainbowRoad2.png|thumb|left|200px|Metal Mario, in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
Metal Mario appears as a returning racer in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and he is an unlockable character. Additionally, there is another character related to Metal Mario named [[Pink Gold Peach]] (who is classified in the same weight subdivision as Metal Mario). Like in ''Mario Kart 7'', Metal Mario is classified as a Heavy character, where he has high speed and weight, but lower handling, traction, and acceleration, but within this category, he is tied with [[Bowser]], [[Wario]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], the large [[Mii|Miis]], and [[Dry Bowser]] in the acceleration, weight, and traction department. However, his speed and handling are tied with that of [[Rosalina]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Waluigi]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], and [[Link]].
 
Also much like in ''Mario Kart 7'', Metal Mario's (as well as Pink Gold Peach's) vehicles use the same body frame size as the Medium class characters, making him a smaller and slightly harder target to hit. His kart emblem is a gray version of Mario's signature "M" symbol with a light gray outline.
 
Metal Mario appears as the Staff Ghost, used by Nin★Leonel for [[Rainbow Road (N64)|<small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]]. This combo uses the [[Standard ATV]], [[Monster]] tires, and [[Super Glider]].
 
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
[[File:MKAGPDX Metal Mario.jpg|thumb|150px|Metal Mario in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''.]]
Metal Mario appears in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', an arcade entry of the ''Mario Kart'' series. Just like previous ''Mario Kart'' games, he is a heavyweight, with high speed, but below average acceleration and handling. His kart is the [[Metal Spark]]. Metal Mario also has an alternate costume, [[Gold Mario]], which not only changes Metal Mario's color scheme, but adds pupils to his eyes as well.
 
====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
{{new subject|section=yes}}
[[File:MetalCharacters-MK8D.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Metal Mario with [[Gold Mario]] and Pink Gold Peach on [[Tick-Tock Clock (race course)|<small>DS</small> Tick-Tock Clock]] in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.]]
As with every character playable in ''Mario Kart 8'', Metal Mario returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]], this time being available from the start. Similarly to ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'', Metal Mario has a Gold Mario variant, which can be unlocked by winning every 200cc Grand Prix cup.<ref>http://gonintendo.com/stories/275799-noe-pr-racers-of-all-ages-can-launch-off-the-grid-anytime-anyw?page=1</ref>
 
===''Mario Tennis Open''===

|image2=Mtometalmario.png‎
|caption2=QR Codes
}}
Metal Mario returns in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' as the last 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 reach up 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.
 
===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
[[File:Character - Metal Mario (Tennis).png|thumb|150px|left|Metal Mario on the tennis character selection screen in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''.]]
Metal Mario appears as one of two unlockable playable characters in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. In most sports, he is classified as a Power character, like in ''Mario Tennis Open''. In golf, his default drive is 228 yards, and his shots travel very high in a draw trajectory. Metal Mario must be unlocked separately for each sport by winning the [[Star Cup]] in each sport's tournament mode or by tapping in a corresponding Metal Mario [[amiibo]] [[List of Mario Sports Superstars amiibo cards|card]]. Most of Metal Mario's animations are identical to Mario's, with a few exceptions:
*If Mario scores a [[Bogey|Double Bogey]] or worse in golf, a [[Green Shell]] hits him and he reverts to [[Small Mario]]. If Metal Mario receives one, he is buried by many Green Shells and [[Red Shell]]s, although he retains his form.
*In baseball and soccer, Mario's special shots surround the ball in red fire. Metal Mario's special shots surround the ball in gray flames.
