Characters & Builds

In Super Mario Bros., character customization and 'builds' are quite different from modern RPGs. You primarily play as Mario, with Luigi as a palette swap for the second player. However, Mario's abilities change dramatically based on the power-ups he collects, effectively creating different 'forms' or 'builds' that alter his gameplay style. Understanding these forms and when to use them is crucial for success. This section will detail Mario's various states and how to best use them against Bowser's forces.
