STATS:
Weight class - Very heavy
Falling class - Very fast
Running speed - Slow
Jump height - Medium
Character class - Bruiser
MOVESET:
--Literally just Mario's moveset.
HOME COURSES: Meta Crystal, Battlefield, New Donk City
TAUNT: Super Mushroom
SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Mario first gained the ability to become metal in Super Mario 64, & has appeared as a standalone metal character in spinoff titles. (In the DS remake of SM64, however, it's Wario rather than Mario who can become metal.)
--Classic Mode miniboss in SSB64 (for all characters) & Ultimate (for Bowser). Adventure Mode miniboss in Melee (though he can be a random encounter in Classic as well).

METAL LUIGI
Source series: Mario
First appearance: Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001)
UNLOCK: Begin Luigi's unlock criteria in Melee Adventure Mode.
STATS:
Weight class - Very heavy
Falling class - Very fast
Running speed - Slow
Jump height - Medium-high
Character class - Bruiser
MOVESET:
--Literally just Luigi's moveset.
HOME COURSES: Battlefield
TAUNT: Dirt Kick
SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--There has never been an actual Mario game where Luigi can turn metal.
--Once unlocked, Metal Luigi will always appear with Metal Mario in Adventure Mode (& he can also be a random encounter in Classic).
--Programmed to only use Green Missile for recovery, so the instant he's below ledge-level with no more jumps, he's doomed.
That's the last Smash character. Holy crap.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
