'''''{{wp|Ace Combat}}''''' is a video game series published by [[Bandai Namco]] and developed by an internal division of the company named Project Aces. The games involve piloting military combat planes to accomplish various missions.

The 2015 release ''Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+'' features a number of plane variants themed after [[Nintendo]] characters, including several based off ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters.

==Overview==

''Ace Combat'' games are mission-based flight combat games. The games are arcade-like in nature, featuring simplified controls and unrealistic elements such as planes carrying hundred of missiles. 

''Ace Combat'''s plots involve millitary conflicts in the setting of Strangereal, a world similar but not quite the same as real-world Earth. Despite the fictional setting, most of the plane roster is made up of real-world licensed military aircrafts.

''Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+'' is a 2015 rerelease of the 2011 game ''{{wp|Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy|Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy}}'', adding support for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Circle Pad Prop add-on and a number of new plane variant based on Nintendo characters (and one patterned after [[Pac-Man]]). The five ''Mario'' planes can be unlocked by either finding [[? Block]]s hidden in various missions and destroying them, or by scanning the relevant character's [[Amiibo]] figure. If unlocked through the Amiibo method, the player will also receive an alternate skin for the plane and a special part for use in the game's customization mechanic.

When shot at. the ? Blocks will trigger the [[Super Mushroom]] pick-up sound and release a [[Power Star]]. When starting a new game, an option is given to disable the ? Blocks for the first playthrough. 

====Typhoon <PEACH>====

Found in Mission 03 "City on Fire". This Eurofighter Typhoon with a [[Princess Peach]] livery has increased speed and defense, but lowered stability and mobility. Its missiles leave a pink trail.

====F/A-18E <DONKEY KONG>====

Found in Mission 10 "Cuckoo's Nest".  An F/A-18 Hornet with increased defense and stability but lower speed and stability. Its missiles leave yellow trails. 

====F-35 <LUIGI>====

Found in Mission 13 "One Night Stand".  An F-35 Lightning II with increased speed but poor mobility and stability, likely in reference to Luigi's poorer traction in games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Missiles leave green smokes.

====A-10A <BOWSER>====

Found in Mission 17 "Toy Box". An A-10A Thunderbolt II with improved armor and attack power, but lowered mobility. Missiles have brown smokes.
