History

While in the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach was kidnapped by Bowser,a giant turtle like creature.Mario vowed to rescue her, doing so by traveling trough the Mushroom Kingdom and finally to Bowser's castle,where Mario finally rescued her. This began the tradition of Mario saving Peach. It goes on through most stories with him almost always against Bowser his arch-enemy. At one point during the Star Festival, Bowser captured Peach. In Super Mario Galaxy, he journeyed across the universe to find Peach. He sometimes he teams with Luigi, Donkey Kong and even Bowser himself.

Powers and Abilities

Aside from his iconic jumping ability and super strength(proved in Mario and Luigi Bowser inside story where he lifted more than three tons and played tennis using a meteor as the ball and hammer as a racket), Mario didn't have any special powers, unless he had an Item. These abilities included hurling fireballs using a Fire Flower, flying using a Wing Cap, growing into a giant with the Mega Mushroom and even freezing water with an Ice Flower.

  • Mario's first and trademark ability is his Jump, which allows him to leap high two stories, while doing two flips and a twist. He is the second best jumper in the Mushroom Kingdom, and the first is Luigi, by quite a large margin. He is also capable of several variations, including the Back Flip and the Spin Jump.
  • Mario is always associated with the element of fire. Mario is an excellent driver, and has skills with many sports.
  • Mario has very powerful feet, which have trampled innumerable enemies, toppled Fortresses and even crushed spaceships. When timed correctly, he is able to do this 100 times in a row.
  • In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario was able to "transform" into other characters, which came in handy, as he is a silent protagonist. This was not one of his attacks, however. He only used it in a few stories.
  • Mario can use simple physical attacks, including punching and kicking.
  • Mario can perform many standard moves in the Mario series, such as the Ground Pound.
  • Mario has been shown to be incredibly powerful and strong, almost comparable to that of super-human strength. In Super Mario 64, he could carry and throw the very large King Bob-omb, despite the king being far larger than him. An even more impressive feat is during the battles with Bowser, Mario can grab him by the tail, spin him around and throw him. Mario spins Bowser around faster the more spins. The more Mario spun, the farther he threw Bowser (he could either throw Bowser a few feet, or well over a hundred feet). His strength was also shown in Super Mario Galaxy, where he could easily stun a Mega Goomba with a Star Spin despite its great size and his ability to knock Bowser around during battles with him. He could also lift Bob-ombs that were his size. In Bowser's Inside Story, he is able to lift and throw a 5 ton(if executed perfectly), morbidly obese Luigi when using the Sweet Basket move among other fantastic feats.
  • Mario has extremely high stamina and can withstand and endure many things such as harsh environments and so on. For instance, in the third Mario and Luigi game, he could withstand the freezing cold within Bowser's stomach or a dark energy blast from the Dark Star when Luigi had a difficult time shaking it off. Mario is very versatile and adapts amazingly fast to his surroundings, being able to go from scorching deserts to freezing snow peaks to the depths of outer-space.
  • Mario's first weapons were the Hammer in Donkey Kong and the Fireball in Super Mario Bros. Mario often uses the Hammer as a weapon in Mario RPGs. Mario can, in some games, control fire without a Fire Flower power-up.
  • Mario has nine power-ups that allow him to fly; the Raccoon Suit, the Tanooki Suit, the Cape Feather, the Wing Cap, the P-Wing, the P-Balloon, the Bee Mushroom, the Red Star, and the Propeller Mushroom. On The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Mario was able to fly even after powering up with a Fire Flower.
  • In Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario had the ability to transform into a Hammer Bro with the ability to throw hammers at his enemies or a Frog which let him swim faster and jump higher.
  • Mario has three other caps he can wear, the Metal Cap, Wing Cap and Vanish Cap, which turn him into Metal Mario, make him fly and make him invisible, respectively.
  • Mario even has his own fighting style. Although he never really uses it in his games, except the Smash Bros. series, he does use the martial arts in a Super Mario Bros. 3 comic. In the comic, while fighting Lemmy Koopa, Mario says, "Good thing I know karate!" In the following panel, Mario jumps many times in a rapid motion, dodging all of Lemmy's attacks with ease. Mario is also has a black belt in Plumb Fu.
  • In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario became more paper-like, and could become Flat Mario, Paper Tube Mario, Paper Airplane Mario, and Paper Boat Mario.
  • In Super Paper Mario, Mario was given the ability to flip between dimensions.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario has a special attack called the Mario Finale, although he requires a Smash Ball in order to execute it.
  • Mario is able to hold his breath for a long period of time, as seen in Super Mario Bros. and numerous later games. However, in 3D platformers such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, he isn't able to hold his breath for as long.
  • Mario seems to not be bothered by certain temperature levels, even in volcanoes and tundras (although in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario would take damage without his hat on due to the heat and in Super Mario 64, Mario would shiver when not moving in snow level).
  • Mario can endure otherwise lethal hits (i.e. Burning, Electrocution, Freezing) several times before being defeated.
  • Mario is very strong. In Super Mario World, he is seen lifting a fortress out of the ground and then throwing it. Also, in various games, he is able to battle brutes such as Donkey Kong and Bowser.
  • In the 2-D games, Mario is shown to run at a fast pace, even fast enough to run up walls. In the opening to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario is shown to run almost as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog.
