| '''Metal Mario''' is a powered up form of [[Mario]], who first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Unlike Mario in his normal status, Metal Mario is tougher, virtually invincible, that can only be hurt by long falls. This form is caused by using certain objects such as taking the [[Metal Cap]] from green [[! Blocks]] or [[Metal Box]]es. Metal Mario has appeared later as an independent character in the Mario universe, normally being one of the last characters to compete with, having high power and endurance stats like in the Mario sport games or ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Despite that this form means that only Mario can acquire it, other characters can actually turn into metal as well.

| [[Image:Metalcap.jpg|thumb|left|Metal Mario in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
| |
| When [[Mario]] uses a [[Metal Cap]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he becomes [[Metal Mario]], a living embodiment of metal. In this form, Mario is invincible and can destroy enemies just by running into them. Metal Mario is also very heavy, and as such, can withstand strong winds, underwater currents, and can walk on the bottom of bodies of water. In addition, he doesn't need to breathe, meaning he can stay underwater without worrying about air until the metal power runs out. However, Metal Mario is slower than the regular Mario and sinks in quicksand quicker.
| |
| | |
| In the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' version of the game, only [[Wario]] could turn metallic and become [[Metal Wario]] by using a [[Power Flower]].

| ====''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''====
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Metal Mario is a stubborn mid-boss before the game's final boss. He is far less powerful and is susceptible to much more damage than in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Neverheless, he is a much more durable character than the regular Mario. Heavier and more resistant to knockback in general than any other character in the game, he's very difficult to beat. In fact, only when Metal Mario's damage exceeds 180% can he be knocked down.
| |
| | |
| ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''====
| |
| He returned as a mid-boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and as one of the game's many trophies. In this game, Metal Mario would occasionally fight alongside his brother, [[Metal Luigi]].
| |
| | |
| ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''====
| |
| The [[Metal Box]] item returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and thus, allows Mario himself to turn into Metal Mario when he collects the item. This can also be used as a setting in the '''Special Brawl'''. However, despite his role as a boss in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', Metal Mario did not reprise this role in ''Brawl''.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Mario Party 7]]''===
| |
| Metal Mario also appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' when Mario uses a Metal Shroom [[Orb]] on himself to avoid traps. As a matter of fact, all the partiers could use the Metal Shroom Orb to make themselves metallic.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''===
| |
| It appears that Mario can become Metal Mario in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'' when he performs his [[Mega Strike]].

| | Mario was in for a surprise the first time he hit a Metal Box in Super Mario 64. The metal cap that popped out transformed Mario into living metal, giving him great stamina, a heavy tread, and the ability to walk underwater. In Super Smash Bros., Metal Mario showed up as an incredibly stubborn midlevel boss.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', near the place where the "M" logo would appear on his trophy is a view of the [[Yoshi's Island]] stage.
| |
| *In an interview published in 1991 (in [[Nintendo Power]]'s ''Mario Mania Player's Guide''), [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] reportedly said: ''"Who knows what Mario will look like in the future? Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!"'' Metal Mario then appeared in 1996.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Golf (N64)|Mario Golf]]'', Metal Mario's blue color change bears resemblance to [[Shadow Mario]].
| |
| * In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] Metal Mario appears unable to speak.
