Mario Amiibo

Mario in the Mario Series wave is functionally a different figure from the Smash Mario (Nov 21, 2014, fighter pose). This one released March 20, 2015 with the Mario Series wave, posed neutrally with a thumbs-up. Same character, different sculpt, different release context. Where Smash Mario gives you a fighter-FP behavior in Smash Ultimate, Mario Series Mario gives Mario costumes in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Party, Mario Kart 8.

The figure: standard Mario fare: red cap, blue overalls, white gloves, red boots, neutral pose with one hand raised and open.The figure is the franchise's most-recognizable mascot in plastic.

He pairs with the Smash Mario figure (different sculpt, same character), the Mario Series wave (Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser), and the broader Mario-line cluster.
