If You Could Rework Mario

[supersmashbro99]

If you could rework Mario, what would you do? For example, if I would rework Mario, I would make him seem happier and energetic, instead of him looking like he’s about to kill somebody.

I second the "happier" thought. I think in general the 64 and Melee characters are fine, and only really need minor cosmetic stuff like that - Sonic, Mega Man, Belmonts and most of the SSBU DLC should be top priority for reworks. I think I would revive Mario Tornado, but add Cappy to it, and while I'd keep the cape, I would change the animation to a Tanooki tail.

yes.

Mario’s , Specials ; side = Cappy , & , Neutral = same

Mario’s , Specials ; down = elephant transform, & , up = cape

IDK about the whole idea of making Mario more cheerful tbh. One of the strengths of Mario is that he's versatile enough to adapt to any situation he's in, so a fighting game would be a good spot to make him more serious.

OTOH, after playing the latest versions of Smash Crusade and CMC+, I think a nice compromise would be to make Mario happier, but keep around Doc's more serious attitude.

And yeah, I agree that they should bring back the special Tornado over FLUDD. Also, while I do feel Mario is best being as "basic" as possible, adding the Wing Cap to SJP here was a nice touch:

Jump up, Super Star!
The mustachioed hero of the Mushroom Kingdom is an all rounder, capable to fight in most situations. Like we showed previously, Mario's new Down Special is Galaxy Spin! You may also notice a small addition to his Up Special... pic.twitter.com/0nuh3atp75

Lol no way, Marios here to throw hands, he means business. Every bit as serious as Ike leading the charge on the bloody battlefield, fully prepared to fight side-by-side with the Belmonts on the quest to murder monsters & vampires. Who do you see front and center? He hasn't the luxury of empathy, he can show no weakness.

What I wouldn't mind is a return of laffy daffy Luigi. The one that goes YIPPEE as he forward chops your caratoid artery.

Those old clips are literally pitched up Mario voice clips.

This aged well.

The only things I'd really change about Mario is making his side and down specials the Roll from 3D Land onwards and Spin from Mario Galaxy, respectively. I felt like those moves would best suit his beginner-friendly playstyle.

Add his Ground Pound.

It is criminal it isn’t here.

good mentions.

I like the spin one.

do you remember his cap toss? in mario galaxy.

I think also without the face of Cappy.

it's a neat suiter overall move for him in some way.

he does appear to randomly don a cap in the games.

Get rid of the fludd move! MArio shouldnt have a complicated move like that! Hes MArio simple is better!

'nuff said!

lol.

But he's also the face of smash. And it's only fitting that he have a single outlying confusticating ramshackle contrabulous fabtraption in his back pocket, in my opinion. Let doc have that garbo tornado lol

Replacing cape with the spin attack from Mario Galaxy would be cool though. Reflector in all, just like in the source game. Although the cape's "180 flip" property is rather unique now that I think about it.
