That's really your choice, you have much more freedom choosing your secondary than your main because you don't have to worry about his counters or anything. Just choose who you like second best and practice with him.

I agree with matador... use whoever... all of my secondaries are coincidentally low tier XD

Although, I have been using sheik some lately when I need to counter gay with gay. So I wouldn't nessecarily worry about it too much now, but finding a high-teir backup might be a good idea.

fox.or marth.

i only like mario cause he goes off of pure skill mario has no weapons or objects just fireballs,thats why when you pull off something sick with mario it's amazing,but i'd choose fox as a secondary,this is pretty much my list.

mains-mario,dr mario
secondary-fox
for fun-samus, capt falcon,marth

FOX!!!!!

I also use Fox and it rules. Eggz actually told me to use Fox and your Mario will automatically get better. I guess cuz they're pretty similar in a lot of ways. Eggz said it. That was enough for me. Is it for you.......

Well, ideally, if you're going to be playing in a tournament setting, what you want to do is find a character that does reasonably well in all the matchups that Mario has trouble in. So, you want to find a character that does well in vs. Marth, Peach, Jiggs, Samus, Sheik matchups, because Mario usually has trouble with these characters.

Personally, I use Falcon as my secondary just because he has the same techchase/grab/combo mentality as Mario does, but with better speed, and even better yet, a decent killing move. Otherwise, I'd suggest your basic gamut of top-tier characters--Marth, Fox, and Sheik come to mind.

Well, my secondary is Peach/Fox, and that's been working out very nice for me. They beat the crap out of all the Marths and Sheiks that I can't beat with my Mario ;D

My mains are IC, GaW, Ylink, Mario, and Bowser. I'd honestly suggest Samus as a secondary but if you wanna have a low tier secondary, I'd suggest DK(one of my secondaries) or GaW(cuz he's so sexy).
