Attributes[]

Shadow Mario-0

Shadow Mario in the Tier List.

Shadow Mario is ranked 5th in the tier list in the S tier, the highest of the Mario clones. Shadow Mario has one of the best aerials in the game, being the only one [other than Kamek and King Bob-Bomb] that can combo into itself upon landing and jumping right after he lands. He also has a good projectile in his Shadow Ring, which can also be good for comboing and supporting his approach, despite it having the slowest speed out of all the projectiles. Overall, Shadow Mario has a good combo game, along with dealing decent damage and having some fast normals, as well as one of the best dash attacks which in itself can be used as a decent escape move, even with its short ending lag. However, out of all the Mario clones, Shadow Mario is the slowest of them all, but his dash attack and wave sliding can cover up his mobility quite nicely. But, the random factor in his Shadow Energy is the one thing that keeps him from being any higher, plus it takes a while to charge. But overall, Shadow Mario is the best of all the Mario clones for being the only one where lag is barely present in his move-set, and that and more places him in the S tier.
