Overview:
Defensive play mixed with Offensive spurts, Offense is used when the opponent opens themselves up but also to throw the opponent off guard, to make them think Mario is comfortable on offense when defense is the priority. Short hop fireball/Dair approaches(depending on the situation) Cape/FLUDD/Fair gimps are priority, but used smartly. Find a move the opponent like to do and make them incapable of using it. Command the air with double aerials, utilt, and dthrow to uair combos. Takes advantage of Bair spacing.

Pros:

+ Gets in your opponents head, making offense easier to pull off
+ Easy to rack up damage without using a smash attack
+ N00bs are easy to kill, they make a lot of openings
+ Pressure can be put on once you know the persons behaviors
+ Breaks theiw wittle spiwits... :(

Cons:
+ People who are good tend to have less moves they like to abuse, or
use them in a way you can't greatly punish them for it, which means to
be offensive is to be patient.
+ Requires alot of attention to detail
+ You have to know behaviors of the person to use effectively
+ Repetition will get you owned

Some of these are replicas of others, but nonetheless, keep them coming.

I'll update the OP whenever I stop being lazy.

My Mario:

Offensive Mario

I don't camp, unless I'm have one less stock then my opponent. I use short hopped fireballs to approach, then begin a combo of: down throw -> short-hopped dair -> short hopped (if possible) uair -> double jump uair -> nair. On the ground, I punish misses and lag with down smash or sidestep followed by a grab. When my opponent tries to recover I use a fireball to set up for a fair meteor smash.

Pros:

- Allows to quickly rank up damage
- Doesn't allow your foe to counterattack.
- Can KO quite early.

Cons:
- Lacks defense. Quick smashes can ruin this tactic.
- Can become predictable.
ummm... you want to start camping when your UP astock and they are forced to approach.

To tell you the truth, I pretty much do anything and everything at a steady pace...
