'''All-Around''' (also called '''All-Rounder''', '''All-Round''', '''Balance''', '''Balanced''') is one of the possible types playable characters can be classified as throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' ]] franchise. All-Around characters are generally the most balanced of all play types, usually featuring slightly above average scores in all stats without major flaws or strong stats. The type has appeared in most sports games, most notably in the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'']] series and the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, among many others. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are almost always All-Around players, while [[Daisy]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] are often All-Around as well.
