Metal Mario: Difference between revisions

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.

[[Jolly Roger Bay]]'s mission [[Through the Jet Stream (Jolly Roger Bay)|Through The Jet Stream]] features a Power Star inside a strong current. Metal Mario can be used to easily obtain the Power Star.

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 is now part of the [[rival]] system in the Grand Prix mode unlike in the original ''Mario Kart 8''. If he is used, Pink Gold Peach is his rival and vice-versa. He also appears as the Staff Ghost used by Nin★Leonel for [[N64 Rainbow Road|<small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]]. This combo uses the [[Standard ATV]], [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires, and [[Super Glider]].
