MX is a playable unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros. 6, originating from the Super Mario Bros. horror fangame Mario '85. He is an unknown entity who inhabits a cursed copy of the original Super Mario Bros., using it to capture the souls of anyone unlucky enough to play it and trapping them into the game in order to make them his playthings for all eternity. He is also the tormentor of a poor child named Lucas Everett, whose soul inhabits the body of Luigi.
Attributes[]
MX is a heavyweight character who primarily plays like a Grappler, boasting powerful throws and command grabs in his Neutral and Side Specials. While these tools may be seemingly offset by his low attack range and poor frame data, in reality they can be used recklessly due to MX' surprisingly high ground speed. Alongside that, he boasts the ability to transform part of the stage into a danger zone thanks to his Down Special, giving him slight Stage Controlling abilities.
MX' main weakness is that he's rather susceptible to zoning, as even with his high speed he lacks anti-zoning tools. Alongside that, his heavy weight and fast-falling recovery make it so that recovering as him will be a challenge. As such, a good MX player must use his most powerful attacks at the right time, attempt to close in with his high speed when the opponent is in a bad spot or to send them into his danger zone with his other very damaging blows.

Aerial Attacks[]

 Back Aerial |

N/A | MX punches directly behind himself, dealing solid damage but boasting some starting lag. | N/A |
 Up Aerial |

Grabs & Throws[]
| Input | Image Pose | Name | Description | Reference |

 Pummel |

N/A | MX drags the opponent across the floor before tossing them away. Deals some serious damage but has a bit of endlag. | N/A |
 Up Throw |
|
N/A | MX carries the opponent over his shoulders, like in an Argentine Backbreaker position, before jumping up and coming back down, the force of the impact launching the opponent upwards. It's exactly as damaging as it sounds. | Potemkin's Potemkin Buster from the Guilty Gear series. |
 Down Throw |
|
N/A | MX grabs the opponent with both hands and slams them into the ground head-first, burying them. His most combo-friendly throw. | N/A |
Special Moves[]
| Input | Image | Name | Description |
 Neutral Special |
|
Back Breaker | MX reaches out and attempts to grab an opponent. If he's successful, he will perform a very powerful backbreaker on them before tossing them aside. As a command grab, this move lacks range and leaves MX exposed should it whiff, but has a medium cooldown. |
 Side Special |
|
Charging Demise | MX charges forward while attempting to grab an opponent. If he's successful, he will run a short distance in the direction he's facing before slamming them into the ground, dealing high damage and launching the opponent away. Much like Back Breaker, this move leaves MX exposed for a while should it whiff, and has a heavy cooldown by virtue of being a charging command grab. |
 Up Special |
|
POW Hop | MX hops into the air while shouting "WAHOOOO!", before crashing back down at high speeds. His whole body has an hitbox while jumping, and upon landing he creates a small shockwave that stuns anyone that touches it. However, the move has high ending lag and may cause a self-KO if used a long distance away from the stage. |
 Down Special |
|
Broken Flagpole | MX stomps on the ground, creating a pike made out of a broken Super Mario Bros. flagpole. The pike deals damage to anyone that is sent flying into it (MX included!), and can be moved by his attacks. Additionally, if an opponent is sent flying from the top of the screen into it, the pike will stun them as if they were impaled on it, allowing MX to follow up with an attack. Only one pike may be placed down at a time. |
 Final Smash |
|
INNOCENCE DOESN'T GET YOU FAR | MX jumps into the background, before growing a gargantuan size. In this state, his moveset becomes heavily limited, but his attacks can deal massive amounts of damage in just one blow. This state lasts for 10 seconds, after which MX returns to normal and jumps back into the stage. The attacks he can perform are as follows:
