| '''Metal Mario''' is a powered up form of [[Mario]], which first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Coating Mario in a metallic sheen, Metal Mario is tougher, stronger, virtually invincible, and can only be hurt by long falls. This form is acquired by picking up the [[Metal Cap]] from green [[! Blocks]] or [[Metal Box]]es. Metal Mario has appeared later as an independent character in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' universe, usually being one of the fiercer endgame opponents in the ''Mario'' sport games or ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, boasting high power and endurance stats.

| Other characters can actually turn into metal as well.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
| |
| [[Image:Metalcap.jpg|thumb|left|Metal Mario in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
| |
| When [[Mario]] uses a [[Metal Cap]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he becomes [[Metal Mario]], a living embodiment of metal. In this form, Mario is invincible and can destroy enemies just by running into them. Metal Mario is also very heavy, and as such, can withstand strong winds, underwater currents, and can walk on the bottom of bodies of water. In addition, he doesn't need to breathe, meaning he can stay underwater without worrying about air until the metal power runs out. However, Metal Mario is slower than the regular Mario and sinks in quicksand faster.
| |
| | |
| Metal Mario can combine his Metal Cap with the [[Vanish Cap]] to become Vanish Metal Mario, which will enable him to go through certain walls while maintaining his metal form's strengths and weaknesses.
| |
| | |
| In the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' version of the game, only [[Wario]] could turn metallic and become [[Metal Wario]] by using a [[Power Flower]].
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Mario Golf 64]]''===
| |
| Metal Mario is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Golf 64]]''. He boasts the strongest drives from his set of clubs and is the last character to be unlocked.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''===
| |
| He is also the final boss of Wario's storyline in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]''. In this game, Metal Mario can be unlocked as a playable character by beating the entire game without losing once.

| ====''[[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.
| |
| | |
| ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''====
| |
| The Metal Box item returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and thus, allows Mario (or anyone else) to turn into a Metal form when the item is collected. This can also be used as a setting in the '''Special Brawl'''.
| |
| | |
| Metal Mario did not reprise his role as a boss.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Mario Party 7]]''===
| |
| Metal Mario also appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' when Mario uses a Metal Shroom [[Orb]] on himself to avoid traps. As a matter of fact, all the partiers could use the Metal Shroom Orb to make themselves metallic.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''===
| |
| It appears that Mario can become Metal Mario in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'' when he performs his [[Mega Strike]].

| |Mario was in for a surprise the first time he hit a Metal Box in Super Mario 64. The metal cap that popped out transformed Mario into living metal, giving him great stamina, a heavy tread, and the ability to walk underwater. In Super Smash Bros., Metal Mario showed up as an incredibly stubborn midlevel boss.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', near the place where the "M" logo would appear on his trophy is a view of the [[Yoshi's Island]] stage.
| |
| *In an interview published in 1991 (in [[Nintendo Power]]'s ''Mario Mania Player's Guide''), [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] reportedly said: ''"Who knows what Mario will look like in the future? Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!"'' Metal Mario then appeared in 1996.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', Metal Mario's blue color change bears resemblance to [[Shadow Mario]].
| |
| *In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Metal Mario appears unable to speak. Likewise, anyone else who turns into metal will lose their voice.
