Mario holds a significant advantage by leveraging his superior vertical mobility and neutral game to pressure Incineroar's slower recovery and limited options. Focus on controlling the center of the stage to force Incineroar into predictable recovery paths where Mario can intercept with his fast aerials. Use Mario's strong forward air and up air to punish Incineroar's slow startup moves and whiffed attacks.

• Use Mario's forward air to punish Incineroar's slow jab and forward tilt, as it has better range and speed.
• Spam Mario's up air to interrupt Incineroar's recovery, especially when he uses his slow up B or side B.
• Position yourself slightly above Incineroar to use Mario's fast aerials to pressure his landing.
• Use Mario's forward smash to punish Incineroar's slow forward smash and up smash, as it has better range and speed.
• Watch for Incineroar's up B and use Mario's up air to punish it, as it has a slow startup and recovery.
• Use Mario's side B to escape Incineroar's grab and punish his slow recovery.
