Final Smash: Critical Hit

Trivia (Super Smash Bros./Fire Emblem Canon):

Marth was introduced in the first Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light for the Famicom console, which was later remade for Nintendo DS as Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon . While he was absent from the tangentially-related second game in the series, Fire Emblem Gaiden , Marth's role and place in the story of Archanea was later expanded on in the third game, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem , released on the Super Famicom in early 1994. Mystery of the Emblem featured both a remake of the original game and a continuation of that game's story, and the continued story was itself later remade for Nintendo DS as Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, Heroes of Light and Shadow .
Marth is the prince of Altea , one of the Seven Kingdoms of the continent of Archanea . He is descended from the family of a legendary hero, Anri , who once used the "blade of light", Falchion , to defeat the sinister dragon-emperor Medeus . Marth is characterized as a courageous, good-natured and honorable man. He takes his royal responsibilities to his people very seriously, always putting their needs first, no matter how troubled he is by developments in his own personal life. As a leader, he not only cares deeply about his friends and comrades but believes that he could not have achieved anything himself without their support. Later appearances tend to emphasize Marth's determination to save as many people as possible and ensure that none of his comrades die, even in seemingly hopeless situations.
In Marth's first adventure, told in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and its remake, Medeus has been revived by the sorcerer Gharnef and has conquered almost all of Archanea, and by the time that the games begin Marth has spent two years in exile in the remote island kingdom of Talys with his future wife, Princess Caeda . The games follow his quest in the War of Shadows, in which he forms a coalition with Princess Nyna of the Holy Kingdom of Archanea and Prince Hardin of Aurelis to fight back against Medeus and his dragon empire, Dolhr , and gain the power to fight Gharnef so that he can retrieve Falchion and rescue his abducted sister, Elice .
The second story in Mystery of the Emblem begins three years after the events of the first game, and follows Marth as he is confronted by Hardin, now the Emperor of Archanea and corrupted by Gharnef. After Hardin conquers Altea and declares Marth a traitor, Marth and his allies embark on a journey through Archanea's northern wilderness and follow the legendary path once taken by Anri, where he learns the true history of the dragons and their role in shaping the history of Archanea. Marth is given the task of repairing the titular Fire Emblem shield to restore its ability to seal away the earth dragons , a malevolent species of a dragon to which Medeus belongs. The game ends with Marth defeating Medeus for the final time, uniting all seven of Archanea's kingdoms into one with himself as its king, and his marriage Caeda. Later generations would remember him as the legendary "Hero-King".
In his starring games, Marth is given the unique lord character class : as the commander of his army, it is necessary for him to seize castles and thrones held by enemy armies to complete chapters and progress in his quest, but if he is defeated in battle, the game is over and the player must restart from their last save point. He is also the only unit who is able to visit villages to receive the items, money or new recruits that they offer. In battle, he plays as a jack-of-all-trades who lacks the greater statistical advantages of other classes, but has a unique advantage in his relatively powerful exclusive weapons, including rapiers (lightweight and effective against both heavy armor and cavalry) and Falchion (effective against dragons and cannot be broken, among various other abilities in specific games).
As the first lord in the Fire Emblem series, Marth established many trends in both narrative and gameplay roles that later series protagonists, such as Roy and Chrom , would closely follow. The majority of Fire Emblem protagonists share the lord class with Marth, with only a few notable exceptions, such as Ike and Corrin . Despite only being the star of four out of the series' sixteen games, Marth is treated by Intelligent Systems as the mascot of the entire Fire Emblem series.
Outside of his own games, Marth is also a notable part of the backstory of Fire Emblem: Awakening , and two of its protagonists, Chrom and Lucina , are his distant descendants. He has made frequent appearances as an optional bonus character, unrelated to the main story, in many Fire Emblem games from Awakening onward; he is available in Awakening via SpotPass and DLC, Fire Emblem Fates via amiibo as a recruitable unit, and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia via amiibo as an illusory unit. He features prominently in Fire Emblem crossover productions, including the video games Fire Emblem Heroes , and Fire Emblem Warriors as one of their many playable characters, and the series' two trading card games. He was also the star of a short-lived direct-to-video anime adaptation of Mystery of the Emblem in 1997, which featured actor Hikaru Midorikawa 's first performance as the character, five years before he reprised that role in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Trivia (JoJo SPC Canon):
- In JoJo SPC, he is characterized as a courageous, good-natured, and honorable warrior wielding the Falchion.
- How he learned to speak English is still under debate.
- He has an Eternir counterpart, Khneris, who is known for being one of the military captain knights in the Charavernus Army.
