Mario has been playable in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game to date. Mario has retained his balanced abilities even when fighting characters from other series. He brought with him many items, stages, and characters to compete in the tournament. Mario's alter-egos [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]] and [[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]] followed as well. Mario is usually portrayed as a "main" character alongside [[Link]], [[Kirby]], and [[Pikachu]]. He does not need to be unlocked in any ''Super Smash Bros.'' and is always playable at the start. Mario's skill is reflected by the [[player]], as mentioned by the Adventure mode Mario trophy.

====Solid Snake codec conversation====
*'''Colonel''': Snake, you know who that is?
*'''Snake''': You're kidding, right? It's Mario.
*'''Colonel''': Mario made his first appearance in 1981, and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous.
*'''Snake''': Good thing I survived long enough to meet him on the field of battle, huh.
*'''Colonel''': This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake. Now get out there and show him what you're made of. No regrets.
*'''Snake''': Got it.

====Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary====
=====Beginning=====
[[File:Subspace Mario.png|thumb|left|Mario's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
In the start of [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], the single-player campaign of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a trophy of Mario and [[Kirby]] are thrown into an arena. The two come to life and fight. The player chooses the one to play with. If Mario is chosen, the opponent will be Kirby. After the battle between the two, Mario resurrects Kirby. This scenario happens the other way around if the player chooses Kirby instead. The [[Subspace Army]] then ambushes the two. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Zelda]] come to help and they are all confronted by the [[Ancient Minister]]. After seeing the two R.O.B.s setting up a [[Subspace Bomb]], Mario runs to try and stop it, only to be blasted away by [[Petey Piranha]]. Afterwards, he meets [[Pit (character)|Pit]] after the latter has descended from [[Skyworld]]. They team up and reach land and give chase to the Ancient Minister, but they lose him.

=====False Peach Incident=====
Eventually, Mario sees Peach's trophy form apparently dissolving. Thinking [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]] have done this, Mario and Pit attack them, only to be defeated and stolen by [[King Dedede]]. Kirby, however, saves them both, and Pit shoots an arrow at the [[Cargo]] that Dedede was driving, blowing its engine out. Keep note that this only happens if Peach was rescued from [[Petey Piranha]].

=====False Zelda Incident=====
[[File:Mario Pit Link.png|thumb|Pit and Mario catch their breath after defeating [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]].]]
If Zelda is rescued, Mario and Pit end up facing a [[False Zelda]], with Pit destroying her [[Dark Cannon]] that she was about to fire at Link and Yoshi. Link sees the Zelda trophy dissolve, and he and Yoshi attack Mario and Pit. Mario and Pit defeat them, but Mario sees the Peach trophy in the Cargo before Dedede takes Yoshi and Link. When Kirby saves them, Link is the one that blows out the engine.

=====Pursuing Dedede=====
Regardless, Mario and his team chase Dedede through a cave and into his castle, only to find his throne room a mess and himself and the trophies he had nowhere to be found. They go through a secret passage and see [[Bowser]] trying to get away. Mario attacks, only to find that he has the princess not rescued from Petey Piranha. Pit fires an arrow, but Bowser dodges, and the badge that the princess was wearing falls. Bowser gets away, and Kirby eats the badge.

=====Re-encounter with the Ancient Minister===== 
Mario and his team encounter the Ancient Minister again later and chase him through [[the Wilds]], but the R.O.B.s stop them and detonate the Subspace Bomb that the Ancient Minister was carrying. Mario and his team escape and end up fighting the Subspace Army at [[the Canyon]] where they meet the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Marth]], [[Lucas]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]] and [[Ike]].

=====Subspace=====
Eventually, the rest of the heroes join them and they head off into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] itself, taking down a [[Subspace Gunship]] along the way. In Subspace, they discover that [[Tabuu]] was behind the Subspace Army after all. Tabuu fires his [[Off Waves]] at them, turning them all into trophies. Mario was then rescued by King Dedede and his team consisting of [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]]; it turns out that Dedede knew of Tabuu and designed the badges to revive fighters from their trophy forms after a certain amount of time. Luigi and Ness were wearing the badges, and the one Kirby had eaten revived him as well. Everyone else was recovered by either Dedede's team or Kirby, with Bowser, [[Ganondorf]], and [[Wario]], who all had been working with the Subspace Army, joining them after learning about what Tabuu had done. Everyone went to confront Tabuu in the center of [[the Great Maze]]. Tabuu attempts to use his Off Waves again, but [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] suddenly appears and attacks Tabuu's wings, weakening the Off Waves considerably. Although the Off Waves were still powerful enough to score an instant knock out on someone, Mario and the others were able to defeat Tabuu, restoring most of the world back to normal.
