"Mia Mama!"
—Metal Mario, Mario Kart 8

Metal Mario is a character who appears in both the Mario franchise and Super Smash Bros. series. He is very similar to Mario when using a Metal Cap, but instead of being a transformation, Metal Mario is a standalone character.

Metal Mario in Super Smash Bros.

Metal Mario marks his first appearance as his own character in Super Smash Bros. as the mid-boss before battling Master Hand. He even has his own stage which is exclusive to Classic mode much like he is. He is susceptible to much more damage than the power-up Mario obtains in Super Mario 64.

After hitting him enough until gaining a percentage of 180 or more, he is able to be knocked down and is also considered the heaviest fighter in the game.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[]

Metal Mario returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee's Classic mode, and he occasionally appears with Metal Luigi if Luigi has been unlocked.

Some Metal Boxes can be found in this brawl, and using one temporarily gives a character the same characteristics as Metal Mario.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]

The Metal Mario transformation happens to Mario when getting a Metal Box item, although Metal Mario does not appear as a character in Classic Mode.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

Metal Mario appears as a primary spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Metal Mario can be battled on the Spirit Board or purchased from the Vault Shop for 6000G. For the fight, the player will fight against a Mario while he is metal on The Great Cave Offensive stage in Omega form. Being made of metal, Mario will be walking slow but his defense his high. Unlike all of the other Mario series-related spirit battles, this fight references the Metal Mario fight from the original Super Smash Bros. on the unique Meta Crystal stage. You can technically play as him by playing as Mario and using a Metal Box.
