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 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.
