Metal Mario is a character in the Mario universe, usually being one of the fiercer end-game opponents in the Mario sport games or Super Smash Bros. series. He is a spin-off from Metal Mario, which is a form of Mario. Metal Mario often plays the role of Mario's rival, suggested by his role in Super Smash Bros. This is also implied in the Mario Kart games, where he says "Mia mama" as opposed to Mario's "Mama mia" and "Papa" instead of "Mama". Metal Mario retains many traits from the power-up variant, such as being very slow and not very agile, but being a very powerful character; many games he is playable in has the stats of larger, more powerful characters such as in Mario Kart and various Mario sports titles.
