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."

===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===

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 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.

Some of the merchandise featuring Metal Mario includes his eye details such as the The World of Nintendo plush and minifigures as well as the ''Super Mario Power Up'' series. Other merchandise, however, lack the eye details, more closely resembling Metal Mario in most games, such as the plush from the San-ei brand as well as the pull-up race cars.
