## **Summary**

**Mario** is the main protagonist of the *Super Mario Bros.* franchise. He normally fights against the main antagonist, Bowser, with the help of his brother and sidekick, Luigi, in order to save the damsel, Princess Peach.

Mario has also encountered many other friends and foes, but Bowser, Peach, Luigi and himself are the most prominent characters.

He was born to a stork, and carried to his home, when all of a sudden, Kamek had flown in and snatched up his brother and the transportive stork. Mario plummeted to the ocean below, but conveniently landed on a Yoshi on Yoshi's Island. The Yoshi set out to help Mario save his brother, the latter of which who, due to "Brotherly Telepathy," knew Luigi was in danger.

**Weaknesses:** Power-ups are lost after sustaining a deadly blow. Can act brash at times

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Jumping:** Mario's most iconic ability has been honed over the course of his life. Casually, he can leap 30 feet into the air and cover the same distance as the world's top athletes. At max, he can leap around 80-100 feet into the air as shown in Sunshine and cover thrice the distance as the world's top athletes.
	+ **Spin Jump:** Renders Mario immune to spiky foes and objects, such as buzzsaws. It also slows Mario's descent drastically, and if combined with Fire or Ice Flowers, can spread-shot fireballs or iceballs.
	+ **Wall Jump:** Mario jumps at a wall and kicks off of it, effectively jumping off the wall to extend height. This can be chained between multiple walls, reaching unimaginable heights.
	+ **Super Jump Punch:** Mario leaps upward, uppercutting any foe in his path.
	+ **Super Jump:** Mario jumps atop a foe, repeatedly stomping them for up to 100 times.
	+ **Ultra Jump:** Mario jumps atop all foes sequentially.
	+ **Space-Time Jump:** Mario leaps through the air in an arcing path, warping space and time, allowing him to time travel.
	+ **Scuttle Jump:** As Paper Mario, Mario can jump even higher, and can hold his placement midair for a few seconds.
* **Pyrokinesis:** Mario has the ability to bend, or, manipulate flames to his liking.
	+ **Fireball:** Capable of incinerating foes upon contact and instantly in Super Mario World and reducing other foes in the spin-offs to ash, Mario's regular Fireball reaches *at least* 15,000,000°C (It is literally impossible to instantly incinerate anything with any temperature. The Sun's core could theoretically do it, but that might not be possible. In order to instantaneously incinerate someone, you must elevate their body's water beyond its boiling point. Thus, it's likely that not even the Sun's heat could do this). He can shoot these forward, or spread-shot them into five, all with the same potency and capable of covering more area.
		- **Super Fireball:** In Super Mario-Kun, Mario can throw a slightly bigger, slightly stronger, slightly faster and slightly hotter Fireball.
		- **Fireball Punch:** Only usable as Fireball Mario (See below).
	+ **Firebrand:** After his training with the Fire God, Mario gained more potent fire. With this, he can somehow immobilize foes with certain placements of his flame, and can rapidly shoot Fireballs, or, combine them all into one massive Fireball.
	+ **Super Flame:** A beam of flame streaming straight from the palm of Mario's hand.
	+ **Fire Swing:** Mario ignites whatever weapon he is holding and bashes said weapon into someone, or something. That person or object will then be cloaked in fire that's equal to his Super Flame and sent jetting through the air.
	+ **Megastrike:** Mario utilizes tremendous re-entry force and fire power comparable to his Fire Swing to send a metal soccerball through the air with re-entry force of its own and splitting into six.
	+ **Mario Finale:** Mario thrusts his arms forward, unleashing two titanic fireballs that spiral towards his foe, engulfing anything it passes in flame that's greatly superior to all fire before.
* **Tornado Swing:** Mario swings a weapon so hard, he generates a tornado.
* **Mario Tornado:** Mario spins around rapidly, catching and pulling enemies into an onslaught of punches.
* **Mario Screwdriver:** Mario spins midair, his feet acting like a drill of sorts, harming foes on his way down.
* **Ground Pound:** A slam that can sometimes contain re-entry force, as seen in Sunshine.
	+ **Bomb Pound:** Mario Ground Pounds, but instead of it being normal effects when he hits the ground, an explosion occurs.
* **Plumb-Fu:** An ancient form of karate that plumbers use. Can even be used underwater normally, despite the buoyancy.
* **Dimensional Flip:** Allows Paper Mario to slip between spatial dimensions.
* **Energy Attacks:** Mario can manipulate and bend his energy into multiple attacks.
	+ **Sphere:** Mario forms a sphere of energy above his head, and throws it at his foe, which then homes in on the foe. The sphere can sometimes split into multiple, which all then home in on the foe.
	+ **Weapon:** Mario forges a weapon of pure energy. Most notable is a hockey stick, which he can use to smack foes with.
* **Star Powers:** Powers Mario needs the assistance of the Star Spirits to use.
	+ **Refresh:** Mario summons Eldstar, who restores some health and stamina to the target, and cures status ailments such as poison.
	+ **Lullaby:** Mario summons Mamar, who sings a lullaby, putting foes to sleep instantly.
	+ **Star Storm:** Mario summons Skolar, who summons countless stars from the sky, which then rain down, spontaneously bombarding all foes.
	+ **Chill Out:** Mario summons Muskular, who charges energy before cursing all foes, lowering their Attack Potency.
	+ **Smooch:** Mario summons Misstar, who restores a solid chunk of an ally's health.
	+ **Time Out:** Mario summons Klevar, who halts time for 30 seconds.
	+ **Up & Away:** Mario summons Kalmar, who transmutes his foes into lifeless stars before placing them in the sky.
	+ **Star Beam:** Mario summons all the Star Spirits, who summon one large, yellow beam of energy to remove any and all helpful status effects from foes as well as harm them.
		- **Peach Beam:** Mario summons all the Star Spirits, who summon one large, pink beam of energy to remove any and all helpful status effects from foes as well as harm them. This attack is only usable when Mario has been empowered by wishes.

* **Sentient Equipment:** Mario has several companions that act as equipment and are part of gameplay, sticking with Mario from start to finish. This sets them apart from being outside help, as they have nothing else to make them a standalone character, unlike companions like Luigi and Yoshi.
	+ **F.L.U.D.D.:** In real life, water jets streaming out 100 psi, or pounds per square inch, can only lift men about ten feet into the air for a few seconds. The Hover Nozzle does exactly that, except holds Mario even longer than water jetpacks. Then, the Basic Nozzle can blast enemies away with enough force that, upon collision with a wall, their bodies flatten. It can also blast Bullet Bills to pieces, become a water version of a missile launcher, & can even wash away the toughest of goop. The world's strongest pressure washers pump out 40,000psi, & still aren't matching the F.LU.D.D.'s cleaning power! And remember, the Turbo & Rocket Nozzles are even stronger than the Basic Nozzle, meaning the F.L.U.D.D.'s power is even higher with said Nozzles.
		- **Basic Nozzle:** Acts as a gun-like nozzle, allowing Mario to shoot water straight forward out of the nozzle.
			* **Water Propelled Rockets:** In tangent with the Basic Nozzle, Mario can attach rockets to the front-end of the nozzle and blast them forward with similar power to a rocket propelled grenade. It can even blast apart a metal robot the size of a building.
		- **Hover Nozzle:** Allows Mario to float for roughly eight seconds via streaming two jets of water from below.
		- **Rocket Nozzle:** Shoots Mario roughly eighty feet into the air, but uses about ⅛ of the water tank in one go.
		- **Turbo Nozzle:** Blasts Mario forward, making afterimages, and allowing to swim excessively fast and with ridiculously great control.
	+ **Master Luma:** Master Luma is granted to Mario by Rosalina, and gives him several abilities.
		- **Star Spin:** One of Mario's stronger attacks. This can draw in items Mario might need, improves his swimming capabilities, and deflects projectiles. Said projectile will then home back in towards the area from whence it came.
			* **Star Pound:** A combination of the Star Spin and Ground Pound. This homes in on foes.
	+ **Cappy:** Cappy lives within Mario's hat, acting as a supernatural being within it. He enables one ability for Mario.
		- **Capture:** Mario can use Cappy and throw his hat onto something to possess almost anything, from people, to animals, robots, objects, electricity itself, and even actual people in the promotional trailers. Heck, he possessed the Super Mario Odyssey logo and walked around, and could do so to letters and numbers on the screen. He can also seemingly possess the game and activate a cutscene in Odyssey, so the Capture ability is extremely powerful.
	+ **Mini-Mario Toys:** Mario has many small, robotic partners that follow him around. On their own, they can't do much outside of walk, follow, talk, and wield a few weapons, but they do have one other ability.
		- **Robotic Merge:** The Mini-Marios can all merge into one giant battle mech Mario can operate, which so happens to be dozens of times stronger than Mario himself, with a weakness of being slower.
	+ **Pixls:** Mario has several companions dubbed as "Pixls" that accompany him, since he is the prophesied hero, and it's their occupation.
		- **Thoreau:** A hand-shaped Pixl. He can punch things, or grab things.
		- **Boomer:** A bomb-shaped Pixl. He can detonate upon enemies or objects to destroy them; like a bomb.
		- **Slim:** A segmented inverted triangle-shaped Pixl. He can turn Mario sideways and flat. Oddly enough, in this form, Mario can squeeze through paper-thin gaps, and is *completely* impervious to harm and contact as long as he sits still; almost as if he's intangible.
		- **Thudley:** A 10-ton weight-shaped Pixl. He strengthens Mario's Ground Pound.
		- **Carrie:** A net cubed-shaped Pixl. She can fold over into a cube, and carry Mario at faster speeds than he can run, jump higher than he can jump, and is can carry Mario over obstacles like water, lava, spikes, etc. Spiked enemies will also not affect him.
		- **Fleep:** A window shade-shaped Pixl. He can flip enemies into other mathematical dimensions, make them dizzy by spinning them, or even patch rifts and such.
		- **Cudge:** A hammer-shaped Pixl. He is simply a back-up hammer for Mario.
		- **Dottie:** A tiny circle-shaped Pixl with squiggly lines emerging from her form. She can shrink Mario down to microscopic sizes, making him nearly impossible to see, and allowing him to sneak by or sneak attack enemies, and fit into very small areas. Oddly enough, this doesn't lower Mario's striking power nor durability; only size, speed and weight.
		- **Barry:** A spiked barrier-shaped Pixl. He can form a spiky barrier around Mario that will reflect projectiles and hurt anyone who tries to touch it.
		- **Dashell:** A missile-shaped Pixl. He will multiply Mario's speed by a factor of five times when active.
		- **Piccolo:** A music note-shaped Pixl. She can play music that negates any type of status ailment or curse on Mario, including negating stat debuffs, weight increases, power nullification, teleportation, and mind manipulation. This would allow Mario to resist losing speed and power, having his weight increased drastically, having his powers nullified, being teleported by enemies, or even having his mind messed with, making her a very useful Pixl.
		- **Tiptron:** A robotic butterfly Pixl. When scanning, she stops time. She is capable of scanning anything, making her nearly omniscient, as she can find out stats, backstories, personality, weaknesses and everything else by scanning someone. She can also negate intangibility.
	+ **Kersti:** Kersti is a sentient sticker who gives Mario two abilities.
		- **Usable Sticker:** Kersti can turn into a usable sticker, turning Paper Mario into Shiny Paper Mario, increasing his power by one thousandfold, and giving him the Paperize ability. This could be used in tangent with any form, but this kills Kersti in the process.
		- **Paperize:** Even when not absorbed, Kersti can lend Mario the Paperize ability, which is essentially existence manipulation. Kersti can take Mario out of existence, hanging in limbo, which completely freezes time as a consequence. Mario can then rip things from existence, place things into existence, and freely mess around with the hapless world beneath him.
	+ **Huey:** Huey is a paint can partner that grants two abilities.
		- **Protect/Absorb:** Huey is able to block several attacks for Mario, but if he's hit too much by strong attacks, he'll die. If it's a projectile, whether it be an object or not, Huey can absorb it; in some cases, this could leave Mario's enemy without a weapon.
		- **Cutout:** Works akin to Kersti's Paperize, but with this power, Mario can cut right through existence itself.
* **Team Attacks:** These attacks are effectively executed with the help of Luigi. Thus, they are preferably used only for tag team battles pitting the two on the same team. In spite of this, it doesn't mean they're impossible to use individually. Even then, a few require outside help from characters besides Luigi.
	+ **Bros. Attacks:** Attacks used in Superstar Saga, Dream Team and Paper Jam.
		- **Splash Bros.:** Mario bounces off Luigi’s back, before spinning into the air. Luigi leaps up and grabs onto Mario’s legs as they both spin upside-down and slam onto the opponent’s head.
			* **Advanced Splash Bros.:** Mario bounces off Luigi’s back, before spinning into the air. Mario then halts his spin and falls towards Luigi, who then rockets him back into the air. Mario then spins once more, this time like a drill, and drills into the enemy’s head.
		- **Chopper Bros.:** Mario whacks Luigi with his Hammer, sending him underground. Mario then jumps at the foe and, right as he’s about to nail them, Luigi pops out and propels Mario into the air, who then spirals downwards, swinging his Hammer rapidly, nailing the foe with each swing.
			* **Advanced Chopper Bros.:** Mario whacks Luigi with his Hammer, sending him underground. Mario then jumps at the foe and, right as he’s about to nail them, holds his Hammer back as Luigi pops up from underneath the foe, nailing them in the crotch and sending them skyward. Mario then whacks Luigi once more, as he pops out and nails the foe once again. The process then repeats the last two steps.
		- **Fire Bros.:** Mario charges up the Firebrand, before launching numerous fireballs at Luigi. The latter then begins hammering the fireballs at his foe, bombarding them.
			* **Advanced Fire Bros.:** Mario charges up the Firebrand, before launching numerous fireballs at Luigi. The latter then begins hammering the fireballs at his foe, but Mario intervenes by punching the fireballs upwards. They then convalesce into one enormous fireball, and Mario then springs off of Luigi and spikes the massive fireball downwards, into the foe.
		- **Swing Bros.:** Luigi dives towards Mario with his hands held out. Mario grabs Luigi’s arms and swings him around rapidly before tossing him at the foe, whom he kicks before rebounding off of.
			* **Advanced Swing Bros.:** Luigi dives towards Mario with his hands held out. Mario grabs Luigi’s arms and swings him around rapidly before tossing him at the foe, whom he kicks before rebounding off of. After rebounding off the foe, Mario jumps at Luigi and the two grab each other’s arms before spinning rapidly downwards and slamming into the enemy’s head.
		- **3D Red Shell:** Mario whips out a Red Shell before kicking it towards a single opponent, whom it homes in on. After hitting the foe, the shell makes its way towards Luigi, who punts it towards the enemy as well. The process repeats until Mario and Luigi are close to the foe, which is when Mario charges a kick, and sends the shell right into the foe before flying off into the horizon.
		- **Bye-Bye Cannon:** Mario pulls out the Bye-Bye Cannon and places it on the ground. Mario and Luigi then jump in, as it duplicates them into three and fires them around the planet. They then stomp the foe in a specific order before drilling back down in the opposite order, stomping their foe once more.
		- **Bomb Derby:** Mario showcases a purple bomb with yellow stars all about it. He then tosses it into the sky, it falling back down into Luigi’s arms in the form of thirteen bombs. Luigi chucks the bombs at Mario, who bats them at his foes via his Hammer. The last bomb is twice as big as the rest, as well as twice as powerful.
		- **Jet-Board Bash:** Mario and Luigi run far off-screen, as Mario pulls out a rocket-propelled skateboard. Mario and Luigi hop on, Luigi on his stomach as Mario maintains his balance standing up. Luigi rapidly and spontaneously swipes his arms along the ground, building up remarkable speed before barreling towards a foe. Mario whips out his Hammer and spins right before the foe’s face, nailing them ‘’HARD’’, sending then spinning into the air before landing back on the ground face-first.
		- **Zee Egg:** Mario pulls of a rainbow egg, and tosses it next to himself. It then bursts open, revealing the Zeekeeper. The Zeekeeper then begins flight, both Bros. hopping on. Flying very high into the air, the Zeekeeper fires a Wake Orb of large proportions at all foes below, before flying down with it. Mario and Luigi then jump off and continuously hammer it, speeding it up and making it stronger. Upon hitting the ground, the Wake Orb bursts and sends out an omnidirectional explosion, enveloping all enemies. The Zeekeeper then ensures the Bros. land safely via telekinesis.
		- **Rocket Blast:** Mario wrenches out a large rocket before slamming it onto the ground. Mario and Luigi then jump atop of it as it rapidly aviates into the sky. One of the Bros. then comes plummeting down from the heavens, stomping the foe. The other comes dropping down, but with the rocket in hand. After stomping the foe, that Bro then flies into the air and slams the rocket into the foe, engulfing them within the explosion.
		- **Cannonball Chuck:** Mario yanks out a cannonball, and runs off-screen with Luigi. The latter jumps atop the cannonball and holds on as the former begins spinning it rapidly, before throwing it towards the enemy. The cannonball then soars towards the foe with Luigi guiding it, before crashing into the skulls of the foes and sending out a shockwave.
		- **Toad Trail:** Mario pulls out a stack of Paper Toads, who then form themselves into a road. Mario and Luigi climb them, then slide along the road of Paper Toads, before leaping off the road at the very end and rolling into a ball with each other, catching fire due to sheer speed, before crashing into the foe, sending them careening around the planet.
	+ **Bros. Items:** Attacks used in Partners in Time. All of these work best with the help of Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.
		- **Bros. Flower:** Mario showcases a Bros. Flower before tossing it into the air, and it bursting into tiny particles, empowering the brothers. Mario and Luigi then rapidly throw small fireballs at their enemies. Very similar to the Rapid Extension Fire Flower below.
		- **Cannonballer:** Mario pulls out a cannon, before placing it down. Mario and Luigi as well as their baby counterparts then jump inside and are shot into the air before plummeting downward and stomping their foe four times.
		- **Copy Flower:** Mario drags out a two-headed flower, before chucking it into the air, it bursting and empowering the brothers, turning them into an army of themselves. This endlessly clones Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, allowing them to endlessly attack and blitz their foe. However, one failed attack undoes the clones.
		- **Green Shell:** Mario whips out a Green Shell and kicks it at all enemies, their baby counterpart riding the shell. Upon contact with the foe, the baby swings their Hammer, nailing the enemy as the shell then rolls towards the other brother, who repeats the process.
		- **Ice Flower:** Mario showcases an Ice Flower before tossing it into the air, and it bursting into tiny particles, empowering the brothers. Mario and Luigi then rapidly throw small iceballs at their enemies, which have a high probability of lowering stats like durability.
		- **Mix Flower:** Mario breaks out a sunflower-esque flower, before throwing it into the air. The flower explodes, sending out four balls of fire. Some are blue, some are red. Mario and Luigi, accompanied by their baby counterparts, then begin tossing fireballs into the air, creating one enormous building-sized fireball, which eventually—due to sheer size and weight—crashes down onto all enemies, exploding.
		- **Pocket Chomp:** Mario breaks open an orb containing a Chain Chomp, before running off with it. Mario or Luigi then come running in and stomp the enemy, with the Chain Chomp right behind them and one baby on top of the Chain Chomp with another behind it. As they run by, the Chain Chomp tackles the foe, and the baby hammers them. The process repeats until the Chain Chomp catches up to and tackles Mario or Luigi.
		- **Red Shell:** Mario whips out a Red Shell and kicks it at an enemy, their baby counterpart riding the shell. Upon contact with the foe, the baby swings their Hammer, nailing the enemy as the shell then rolls towards the other brother, who repeats the process.
		- **Smash Egg:** Mario brings out a white egg with yellow stars dotted around it, before chucking it into the air, and bicycle kicking it into the foe. It them rebounds off the foe and flies at Luigi, who bicycle kicks it into the enemy, and it flies towards Mario. The process repeats several times before the egg cracks and shatters. The babies can jump up and knock the egg higher into the air, making it fall faster, but also increasing its power.
		- **Trampoline:** Mario chucks a trampoline between his brother and himself. The two—along with their baby selves—leap onto the trampoline before springing high into the air, and crashing onto their foes’ heads, springing back up into the sky. The process repeats until one of the four messes up and knocks the trampoline over.
	+ **Special Attacks:** Attacks used in Bowser's Inside Story.
		- **Green Shell:** Mario plucks out a Green Shell before kicking it towards the foe. After hitting the foe, it rolls towards Luigi, who continues the trend. This continues several times before the shell breaks apart.
		- **Rapid Extension Fire Flower:** Mario tosses a Fire Flower into the air, and it bursts into dust, empowering the brothers. The two then rapidly toss fireballs at their foe, bombarding them.
		- **Jump Helmet:** Mario whips out an orange helmet with an attached spring, and tosses it onto Luigi’s head. They both then rush off-screen before Mario jumps onto the spring, launching himself into the sky. Luigi then precisely moves towards Mario’s next landing spot, launching him back into the air. The two repeat this a multitude of times, before launching Mario skybound one last time—the plumber plummeting downward, stomping his opponent’s head with great force.
		- **Yoo Who Cannon:** Mario pitches a barrel cannon skyward, before it splits into eight separate barrel cannons. The brothers are then swallowed up by the cannons, and duplicate into four each. The barrel cannons then fire off Mario and Luigi in a set order, sending them curdling towards their foes.
		- **Super Bouncer:** Mario wrenches out a beach ball, and Luigi hops atop it, clasping onto it. Mario then bounces it into the air. As the ball falls, Luigi spins it around so he can slam into the enemy, which sends the ball flying back at Mario—who then punches it back into the sky. The process then repeats.
		- **Spin Pipe:** Mario yanks out a blue pipe with a reverse symbol, then shoots it into the air. Mario then jumps atop Luigi—upside-down—and the pipe falls back down, engulfing the brothers. The pipe then floats above the foe, and begins spinning, then careening downward randomly, allowing one of the brothers to stomp the foe, before floating back up and spinning once more. This repeats multiple times.
		- **Mighty Meteor:** Mario showcases a meteor, before allowing it to fly off into the air. The two Bros. then take spots on opposing sides of the enemy, and bring out their Hammers. The meteor then comes shooting down at one of the brothers, who smack it, sending it bashing into one of their foes before flying into the sky once more. The process repeats until the meteor shatters.
		- **Snack Basket:** Mario pitches a basket into the sky, and darts into the back, allowing Luigi to have the most room. Luigi then sprints about, eating each and every sweet that burst from the basket, becoming obese in seconds. After launching into the air, Mario runs underneath of him. The green plumber then crushes the red, who begins lifting his brother into the air, before rocketing him upwards and darting off. Luigi—at the height of the toss—then thwomps downward, sending out an immensely powerful shockwave. This attack was the only one that could defeat Chakron.
		- **Magic Window:** Mario pulls out a mushroom-esque window before he and Luigi jump through, disappearing. Endless windows then begin spawning all around the enemy, allowing the brothers to endlessly attack the foe at extremely high speeds thanks to teleportation, effectively speedblitzing the foe.
		- **Falling Star:** Mario wrenches out a star, before allowing it to soar tens of feet into the air. Countless mini-stars then join Mario and Luigi—who are on opposing sides of their foes—as they take aim at the big star, and shoot as many mini-stars into the big star as they can. Once finished, the big star—accompanied by all the mini-stars that successfully hit it—fly high into the air, before diving down and crashing into the enemies’ heads. Groups of mini-stars crash down next, and then lone mini-stars follow. The big star has a 50% chance of lowering the targeted foe’s durability.
* **Trio Attacks:** These attacks are effectively executed with the help of Luigi & Paper Mario. Thus, they are preferably used only for tag team battles pitting the three on the same team. In spite of this, it doesn't mean they're impossible to use individually for Paper Mario, whom Mario is.
	+ **Trio Racquet:** Paper Mario pulls out a cardboard cube, which then transforms into a Giant Hammer, which he crushes all foes with—turning them into paper and creating a realm in which he and his teammates can attack foes in. This realm has a wall which the enemies are pinned to, as the trio pulls out racquets and begins rapidly smacking a ball into all foes. The attack ends with all three throwing out their strongest hits—with the last one being a critical, which then shatters the wall and does extra damage to the enemies. After a small celebration, Paper Mario erases the realm.
	+ **Trio Kite:** Paper Mario whips out a cardboard cube, which then transforms into a Giant Hammer, which he quashes all foes with—turning them into paper and creating a realm in which he and his teammates can attack foes in. This realm has a breezy field with Mario holding a kite with the targeted foe attached. The three then begin running—gaining as much air on the kite as possible. Mario goes, then Luigi goes, then Paper Mario goes, and then Mario goes one last time. After a few seconds, Paper Mario hops onto the string and sprints up it. As he reaches the foe at the peak, he splits into ten copies, who all hammer the foe at once, sending the foe plummeting down to the earth below. If high enough, the falling speed can reach terminal velocity, and once hitting the ground, a large portion is cracked, crushed and destroyed. The impact with the ground does the most damage, commonly. Mere moments later, Paper Mario erases the realm.
	+ **Trio Whirligig:** Paper Mario wrenches out a cardboard cube, which then transforms into a Giant Hammer, which he flattens all foes with—turning them into paper and creating a realm in which he and his teammates can attack foes in. This realm spawns the trio atop clouds in the sky, as their foes begin falling towards the sea far below. Paper Mario then forms himself into chopper blades, and Mario & Luigi then grab on and drill down. The Bros. collide with all enemies and take them down with them as they approach several platforms. They slam through three before crunching the foes together on the fourth. They then begin spinning so fast, the foes—who have been transformed into paper—catch fire. After grinding the foe to dust, the attack ends, and Paper Mario erases the realm.
	+ **Trio Shuriken:** Paper Mario rips out a cardboard cube, which then transforms into a Giant Hammer, which he smashes all foes with—turning them into paper and creating a realm in which he and his teammates can attack foes in. This realm is the inside a Japanese-styled building. The ten Paper Marios then begin transforming themselves into throwing stars, and leap into Mario & Luigi’s arms, allowing them to be thrown full-force at the enemies as they float down. After several hits, the Paper Marios fuse into one large throwing star, as Luigi jumps atop Mario’s arms and catches the giant shuriken Paper Mario. Mario then spins the rapidly, before throwing them—Paper Mario busting through the wall, and flying off into the sky—possibly shattering the moon. The attack then ends with Paper Mario erasing the realm.
	+ **Trio Meteor:** Paper Mario showcases a cardboard cube, which then transforms into a Giant Hammer, which he squashes all foes with—turning them into paper and creating a realm in which he and his teammates can attack foes in. This realm reflects the entire universe—stars/galaxies and galactic nebula included. The trio begins atop meteorites high up, with the foe on a large rock tower far beneath. Paper Mario then drops his meteorite, aiming it and crashing it into his foe. Luigi follows, with Mario coming last. As a finale, the trio ride one enormous meteorite down, crashing it into the foe and splitting the rock tower in the process. As the seemingly imminent death of the universe ensues, the trio fly off, before Paper Mario erases the realm.

	+ **Propeller Helmet:** Using this, Mario can soar higher with his jumps, and is granted the ability 'Drill Spin.' With this, Mario can drill downwards with re-entry force, busting through his foe's defenses, dealing direct harm.
	+ **Carrot:** Gives Mario a pair of bunny ears, allowing him to glide through the air.
	+ **Bull Pot:** Gives Mario a helmet with bull horns on. He can then ram foes harder and faster, as well as stick into walls and ceilings and granting him a more powerful Ground Pound.
	+ **Jet Pot:** Gives Mario a helmet with thrusters, allowing him the ability to glide through the air. Speed and jumping height are also slightly enhanced as well. Minorly, Mario can also achieve legitimate flight, unlike Wario.
	+ **Tanooki Leaf:** Gives Mario a tanuki suit, granting him unhindered flight at Mach 30, as well as a powerful tail and the power to turn into an invincible--but immobilized--statue that harms any foe that touches it.
	+ **Super Acorn:** Gives Mario a squirrel suit, allowing him to lightly glide through the air.
	+ **Blue Shell:** Mario clads himself within a blue shell. By running, he can slip into his shell as it spins forward with sufficient enough force to shatter bricks upon contact. By hiding within it, he is completely immune to fire and has increased durability. In a crisis, this can be removed and thrown at his foe, it homing in on them and detonating atop of them.
	+ **Super Bell:** Gives Mario a cat suit, doubling his speed and stamina, as well as giving him razor-sharp claws. He can climb walls, scratch and pounce enemies, and even turn into an invincible--but immobilized--golden statue that harms anyone who touches it.
	+ **Double Cherry:** Clones Mario. He carries five of them.
	+ **Boomerang Flower:** Clads Mario in a Boomerang Brother suit, allowing him to toss boomerangs to his heart's content.
	+ **Spring Mushroom:** Turns Mario into a spring capable of bouncing twice as high as Mario's greatest jumps.
	+ **Bee Mushroom:** Turns Mario into a bee-clad version of himself, allowing him to very briefly fly.
	+ **Life Mushroom:** Doubles Mario's durability.
	+ **Boo Mushroom:** Turns Mario into a Boo capable of flight and turning intangible. This form is also immune to any harm; except for light and attacks from other ghosts.
	+ **Rock Mushroom:** Grants Mario Terrakinesis, allowing him to form a rock around him thus, turning him into a nigh-invulnerable rolling boulder.
	+ **Cloud Flower:** Mario's hat and overalls turn into puffy, white clouds. His weight is halved, thus, he can jump twice as high and twice as far. He can also spin up to three times, creating cloud platforms for him to stand on.
	+ **Max Candy:** Completely restores Mario's health and stamina.
	+ **Power Flower:** Balloons Mario up, allowing him to fly for 25 seconds.
	+ **Wing Cap:** Grants flight for 25 seconds.
	+ **Vanish Cap:** Grants intangibility for 25 seconds.
	+ **Red Star:** Grants unhindered flight for 50 seconds.
	+ **Mini Mushroom:** Turns Mario microscopic. This halves his strength and durability, but triples his speed.
	+ **Pal Pill:** Creates eight pixel Mario clones that mimic and protect Paper Mario.
	+ **Mega Star:** Transforms Paper Mario into an enormous pixel Mario with invincibility and doubled strength and speed for 30 seconds.
	+ **Super Sushi:** Turns Mario into a skyscraper, doubling his power in general for as long as he desires, whilst remaining just as fast and agile as before, if not faster.
	+ **Mega Mushroom:** Turns Mario into a skyscraper that's invincible w/ doubled strength and speed for 30 seconds.
	+ **Gold Fire Flower:** Turns Mario into solid gold that doesn't flinch from attacks anymore. He also gains the ability to shoot golden Fireballs that one-shot foes by turning them into lifeless gold. After hitting someone or something, the gold Fireball sends out a shockwave that extends five feet before dying out. Said shockwave has the same transmutative affects as the Fireball itself.
	+ **Metal Cap:** Turns Mario into solid metal with tripled strength and weight, plus invincibility all for 25 seconds.
		- **Metallic Wing Cap:** In the comics, Mario can merge the Metal Cap with the Wing Cap, and mix their properties.
		- **Metallic Vanish Cap:** In the comics, Mario can merge the Metal Cap with the Vanish Cap, and mix their properties.
	+ **Rainbow Star:** Grants invincibility and quadrupled strength, speed, jump height and jump distance all for 15 seconds.
	+ **Starman:** Grants invincibility and quadrupled strength, speed, jump height and jump distance all for 30 seconds. In DiC, the Starman's power is an even larger increase than 4x (though it's unknown), and it lasts 60 seconds.
		- **Egg Shell Armor:** If Mario uses the Starman with Yoshi Eggs, he'll turn into "Egg Shell Armor Mario." This form can activate a barrier of egg shells to protect against any types of attacks, and can throw a barrage of star-like projectiles.
	+ **Boost Star:** Allows Mario to merely point at a foe or brick, instantly defeating or destroying them or it for 15 seconds.
	+ **White Tanooki Leaf:** Grants unhindered flight at Mach 30 as well as invulnerability forever. However, this form is susceptible to poison.
	+ **1-Up Mushroom:** Can resurrect an ally with half health if they're already dead (and have no lives), or grant Mario an extra life, allowing him to resuscitate after death with full health, restoring his body. In Super Mario-Kun, Mario can sacrifice his extra lives to create clones of himself, and then he can give unique power-ups to each one should he choose.
	+ **3-Up Moon:** Gives Mario three extra lives. In Super Mario-Kun, this turns Mario into "Moon Mario," who has enhanced pyrokinesis and true flight. Moon Mario can also remove the moon from his head and throw it at an enemy, even controlling the moon mentally to ensure it homes in on the foe.
	+ **Mixed Power-ups:** Mixes multiple Power-ups together, granting Mario all their powers consecutively. These include the Mushroom (healing), Fire Flower (enhanced pyrokinesis), Tanooki Leaf and P-Wing (flight), Starman (invincibility), Hammer Bro Suit (infinite supply of claw hammers) and Warp Whistle (teleportation). Easily one of Mario's strongest forms yet, capable of *one-shotting Bowser*, but only ever used in *dire* situations, such as ones where Mario is literally about to die. The second time Mario used this, he mixed the Frog Suit (increased swimming abilities), the Tanooki Leaf (tail for attacking and flight), the Feather (cape for attacking, deflecting projectiles and flight), and the Carrot (flight).

## Notes

**NOTE:** While some would argue that Super Paper Mario's highly controversial, "And in the end, it will consume all existence... All worlds, all dimensions." refers to the common synonym universe for dimension, there is plenty pointing otherwise. Dimension D is the piece of evidence to say they mean universe. What says it means space? Well, Merlon stating that The Void is a hole in the dimensional fabric of space, Bestovius being referred to as a dimensional governor that gives out the dimensional technique, said dimensional technique being one that flips the user between spatial dimensions, and, well, sense itself. Why? "And in the end, it will consume all existence... All universes, all universes..." < I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. And besides, it consumes all existence and all dimensions, which would count as spatial as well due to the Marioverse abiding by String Theory. And finally there's the whole instance of the use of "jigen" in the Japanese text instead of "sunpou," which is using the correct version of dimension to refer to mathematical dimensions. It's pretty solid that they're referring to spatiotemporal dimensions.

**NOTE #2:** String Theory is divided into different theories. None are referred to simply as "String Theory." Allow me: Prior to 1995, theorists believed that there were five consistent versions of Superstring Theory (type I, type IIA, type IIB, and two versions of heterotic string theory). This understanding changed in 1995 when Edward Witten suggested that the five theories were just special limiting cases of an eleven-dimensional theory called M-Theory (the name behind it is for "membrane," or "mother of all string theories." Any version of string theory, by default, runs with M-theory). Thus, there are five versions of String Theory, all of which are connected to M-Theory. In Bosonic String Theory, space-time is 26-dimensional, while in Superstring Theory it is 10-dimensional, and in M-Theory it is 11-dimensional. Between these three, so we don't wank and so we don't downplay, M-Theory is the safest (and most likely) case the game had been referring to. And considering it didn't specify, simply calling it "String Theory," we would go by the safest and most likely case. In this case, M-Theory. Not to mention that Superstring Theory goes off of M-Theory either way, so we'd need specific statements to call it 10-D instead of 11-D. Which we do not have, unfortunately. This is why Mario characters are placed at 11-dimensional rather than 10-dimensional or 26-dimensional. However....though this is more likely, the Bosonic string Theory is the original version of the string theory, and since this is a possibility as well, the character is placed at 26 dimensional.

**NOTE #3:** The Standard key serves a different purpose than other keys. Unlike other keys, the Standard key draws from feats across *the franchise* for the sole purpose of scaling, and to make a key bent on *consistency* for Mario characters. This is why its attack potency is from several different games within entirely different genres. Its only purpose is to scale others from using the most consistent feats.
