'''Metal Mario''' (originally 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." | 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.

Debuting in ''Super Mario 64'', | Debuting in ''Super Mario 64'', Metal Mario is first obtained after Mario enters the portal for the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]] in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and automatically transforms. After hitting the green [[Cap Switch|Metal Cap Switch]], he activates [[Cap Block|green block]]s, which drop [[Metal Cap]]s. When he picks up the Metal Cap, he transforms into Metal Mario. In this form, Mario is invincible (although he can still take falling damage) and can destroy enemies just by [[dash|running]] into them. Metal Mario is also very heavy, and as such, he can withstand strong [[wind]]s and underwater [[current]]s and can walk on the bottom of bodies of water. In addition, he does not need to breathe, meaning he can stay underwater and walk through poisonous gas. This power-up expires after a certain time; before the power-up disappears, Mario flickers to normal. Despite being heavy, Metal Mario still retains all his physical speed as well as his athletic jumping abilities, but he sinks in [[quicksand]] faster, and he cannot run underwater. Metal Mario vocalizes normally above water, but when underwater, he is silent. | ||
The Hazy Maze Cave's mission [[Metal-Head Mario Can Move!]] contains one [[Power Star]] that can be obtained from using the power-up.

Mario can transform into Metal Mario from the Metal Cap in the green block located in the entrance, near the elevator. As Metal Mario, Mario can then sink to the floor and activate the Purple Switch, which causes a gate to open. Behind the gate is a door to a hallway that contains a Power Star.

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 (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. | |||
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. | |||

Melee''. | On a side note, [[Kirby]] is unable to copy Metal Mario's powers, which is later possible to do in ''Super Smash Bros.

Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and continuing in later games, players can pick up the [[Cap Block#Super Smash Bros. series|Metal Box]] as an item and gain metal forms for a limited time. While metal, they are heavier; their jumping height is lower, their falling speed is faster, they do not flinch from weaker attacks especially at lower percentages, and they require higher percentages to be launched. Their voice effects are muted (though they still make sound effects where applicable, notably [[Mr. Game & Watch]]), and their footsteps make clanging metal noises. The metal duration can last shorter if players take enough damage. | Starting in ''Super Smash Bros.

However, they are far more aggressive than Metal Mario is in the previous game. KOing Metal Mario and Metal Luigi in Adventure Mode awards the player the "Metal Bros. KO" bonus, worth 8000 points. | ||

He also appears as a high-tier Ace-class Shield-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], using his ''Mario Kart 7'' artwork. The spirit's trait increases a fighter's weight during battle, which helps a fighter's longevity but increases their falling speed, similar to Metal Mario's traits. The spirit itself has very high defense, even for an Ace spirit, though with low offense as a trade-off. Due to its high stats, it has only one available support slot. Since it is Shield type, it resists Attack-type spirits but is weak to Grab-type spirits. In the spirit's battle, the player faces a metallic Mario on the Battlefield form of [[The Great Cave Offensive]] as a reference to his battle on Meta Crystal in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' due to both having large crystals. | ||

After Wario beats Metal Mario, Dr. Mario returns to normal. Once he is beaten the first time, Metal Mario can be selected as a character in VS mode.

Metal Mario returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', where he is unlocked by winning the 150cc [[Special Cup]]. He is one of the 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. Additionally, 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 ''Super Mario'' franchise where Metal Mario is given a filter to differentiate his voice from Mario's voice. Additionally, Metal Mario's cap emblem is not entirely metallic, making it more easily visible on his cap, and his M emblem is silver, but shown as dark gray in some art for contrast. Metal Mario's appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, however, do not have this feature. | |||

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.

As with every character playable in ''Mario Kart 8'', Metal Mario returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', this time being available from the start.

He is the only QR character who 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. | ||
