Mario holds a favorable matchup against Pyra and Mythra by leveraging superior horizontal recovery and the ability to punish their predictable air game. The core strategy involves spacing to bait out their weak up-airs and using Mario's fast, safe moves to pressure them into the ground where they are vulnerable. Focus on controlling the center of the stage to limit their access to safe recovery options.

• Use Mario's forward air to punish Pyra's and Mythra's up-airs, as they are slow and leave them open to being knocked off the stage.
• Maintain a neutral game distance where Mario can safely use his jab or short-range tilts to chip away at their health without taking damage.
• Watch for their recovery attempts; Mario's long horizontal recovery allows him to chase them down and punish their vulnerable landing frames.
• Utilize Mario's down-throw to set up for follow-up combos, as Pyra and Mythra have limited escape options from this state.
• Be cautious of their projectile attacks; use Mario's quick dash or backdash to evade them rather than trying to block, as their projectiles can interrupt your approach.
• Control the stage center to force them into risky recovery options, as their vertical recovery is weaker compared to Mario's horizontal mobility.
