Summary

The Super Mario Bros. franchise is a highly popular video game franchise founded by Shigeru Miyamoto, featuring as its protagonist the plumber for whom it is named, Mario. The plot in many of its games revolves around him, and occasionally his brother, Luigi, fighting Bowser, the fire-breathing, turtle-like main antagonist, and his army in order to thwart his plans for global conquest and rescue the captured princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach. The series began in 1981 in the arcade game Donkey Kong, where Mario (then known as Jumpman) has to hurdle over barrels thrown by an ape known as Donkey Kong. As time went by, Mario has become one of the world's best-known video game characters since 1985 after the release of Super Mario Bros. on the NES. The series spawned multiple genres and series such as racing games, party games, puzzle games, and role-playing games. Additionally, Mario's various co-stars, such as the aforementioned Luigi, Princess Peach, and Donkey Kong, as well as Toad, Yoshi and Wario, have all starred in their very own games. It's the most popular and iconic Nintendo franchise, as well as one of the most popular and iconic video game franchises in general.

Power of the Verse

Despite being a light-hearted and colorful franchise, this verse is deceptively powerful.

The main characters, such as, but not limited to, Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, as well as other bosses who can match their power, receive Island level, scaling from Donkey Kong sending the Moon flying with a punch in Donkey Kong Country Returns, although their strongest forms reach up to Small Country level, scaling from Giant Bowser punching Super Peach's Castle of Fury all the way around the planet in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. The regular enemies are significantly lower, at Building level, scaling from Captain Goomba destroying a rock and a Monty Mole digging a tunnel. With preparation, some of the stronger characters can reach cosmic tiers, such as Bowser reaching Galaxy level with his Galaxy Reactor, or King Boo reaching Universe level Environmental Destruction with his portal.

The artifacts in the verse are even more powerful than most characters. Power Stars and their users are Large Star level, scaling from one moving hundreds of actual stars in Mario Party 4. The Dream and Dark Stones, being powered by thousands of universe-equivalent dreams, grant Multiverse level to their wielders and those who scale to them. The Pure Hearts and Chaos Heart are Multiverse level+, due to the latter destroying the multiverse over time.

In terms of speed, the cast is consistently Massively FTL+, scaling from two instances of fast intergalactic travel in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. The main characters' and bosses' lifting strength is Class P, scaling from Mario being able to jump against the pull of a black hole in the former game, and the Power Stars and possibly their wielders have Multi-Stellar lifting strength, due to the same star-moving feat that makes them Large Star level. Regular enemies have Superhuman lifting strength, scaling from Goomba Tower being able to support their weight.

Besides the obvious Superhuman Physical Characteristics, the verse has several recurring powers, such as Non-Physical Interaction from being able to attack the ghostly Boos, Toon Force and Elasticity from recovering from being cartoonishly flattened, Type 1 Self-Sustenance and Resistance to Extreme Cold and Cosmic Radiations from staying in outer space unprotected and Vehicular Mastery from driving karts in the Mario Kart series, and Acrobatics from the parkour the platforming games feature prominently.

Alternative continuities have their separate tiers, from Valiant Comics', The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'s and the live-action movie's Wall level, to Hotel Mario's and possibly Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!'s Building level, to the 2023 movie's Bomber Bill's City Block level+.

    Notes for the Verse

    Note 1: Mario characters' base stats are not scaled to cosmic tiers based on feats such as scaling to the creation abilities of Power Stars, as such tiering was determined to be an outlier in regards to their accepted feats and anti-feats.

    Note 2: All non-crossover video game spin-offs, excluding the Paper Mario series, plus Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition and Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, are considered part of the same continuity, as they have never been acknowledged as different canons.
