・Physical attacker ・Jump and Fire Single-target spellcaster |
Everyone's favorite red-capped protagonist. Mario is the main playable character of the game and is tasked to save Princess Peach and collect all Star Pieces.
In combat, Mario is able to deal Jump and Fire-based damage to foes. Mastering the timing of the Jump move can deal devastating damage against enemies, so be sure to time Jump attacks well!
Mario's Jump attacks—Jump, Super Jump, and Ultra Jump—have unique mechanic that further increases their damage.
The starting move Jump permanently gains damage boost each time you use it, while the moves Super Jump and Ultra Jump that Mario learns later on in the game can go for as long as you can get the attack timing right every time you use it.
As these are considered Special attacks, getting the Special boosts on level ups can further increase their damage.
Mario is the main character of the game and will be playable as soon as the player reaches the starting dungeon, Bowser's Keep. He starts at Level 1.

Lazy Shell Super Suit or Hero Shirt Attack Scarf |
Best Equipment for Each Character
| Weapon | ATK | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Lazy Shell (Weapon) | +90 | Give Seed and Fertilizer to gardener in Rose Town, then climb vine. |
Mario's strongest weapon is the Lazy Shell, which boasts an attack stat of 90. The weapon can be obtained from a chest in Rose Town, upon giving the gardener a Seed and Fertilizer.
| Armor | Description |
|---|---|
| Hero Shirt |

Attack: +50 Defense: +50 Magic Attack: +50 Magic Defense: +50 Speed: +30 Effect: Negates status ailments and elemental attacks. How to Get: Visit Chow in Monstro Town after doing 100 consecutive Super Jumps. |
The Super Suit is the strongest armor that all characters can equip in the game. However, Mario's exclusive armor, Hero Shirt, has better performance than the other character exclusive armor, so it is recommended to have the other characters equip the Super Suit and give Mario the Hero Shirt.
| Accessory | Description |

I saw that you recently uploaded the all-purpose build for Mario. Why did you choose to add bonus to attack and defense at level 16 instead of HP ? Also, why do you don't add bonus to HP anymore after level 20 ?

Thanks for your comment! You are right, adding HP at level 16 is the more balanced option, this has been fixed. The reason HP isn't added anymore after level 20 is because the bonuses for HP decrease significantly after that point. You can see this in the level up bonus table. Hope this answered your question!
