Okay, so this is the second time I'm going over my coverage of the Super Mario-Kun manga. I'll be updating my character bios tomorrow with this new info.

Unfortunately not a lot of feats for characters outside of Mario and Yoshi; it's just that other characters don't get a lot of screen time while others do things we already know from the games that don't need to be documented (Example; Bowser dropping giant cannon balls from his clown car, Luigi having toon force levels of endurance, ect)

But keep in mind we're not even 10 volumes in yet, so there's still gonna be more stuff to document in the future.

Past coverage Here:
Super Mario-Kun Coverage: Vol 01 to 05Okay, today I'll be going over Volume 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05 of the Super Mario Kun manga and listing feats of the individual characters of importance/interest.For starters, most of volume 1 was scanslated online already and can be found here: http://mangasaurus.com/manga/4280/super-mario-kun (Though they stopped after chapter 06)So a lot of volume 1 was already part of my Mario AND Yoshi bios... so I'll try looking at other characters for the time being.Just an important note: I'm not gonna document literally every feat I see: Only the significant ones that have not occurred in the video games or other forms of media.Example: Mario charac...

Summary:

Volume 6 adapts Mario Kart, featuring Mario racing against all kinds of opponents such as DK Jr. and Monty Mole. For most of it, it's a retelling of Super Mario World, only now with elements/enemies from Super Mario Bros 2/Doki Doki Mario/Super Mario USA. Birdo and Mouser join Bowser to combat Mario and Luigi, though Birdo ends up switching sides after falling for Yoshi. Towards the end, a bit of "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" is adapted.

Volume 07 adapts most of "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" though it just focuses on Mario (and his new carrot side kick for some reason) fighting their way through Wario's forces with a little appearance from Yoshi and Birdo later. Since this mainly focuses on Mario and Wario (With Yoshi and Birdo showing up for some minor supporting roles), the likes of Luigi, Bowser, Peach, and others don't appear.

Volume 08 continues to be an adaptation of Super Mario World mixing in elements from Super Mario Bros 2/Doki Doki Mario/Super Mario USA. Wart appears and is defeated by Mario and co, and we also continue the plot of "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins" before moving onto an adaptation of "Yoshi Safari" where Yoshi gets to use the Super Scope himself for once

Mario:
Strength:
- Once hit Bowser with a fly swatter with enough force to cartoonishly flatten him

Intelligence:
-  Mario once became a kart to race DK Jr after his was destroyed and won the race

Durability:
- Survived getting shot by a giant bullet to his head from the Super Scope

Bunny Ear Power ups:
- Can spin his rabbit ears fast enough so he can knock enemies out of the way  (and knock enemies away who are attacking from multiple directions )
- Mario can use mushrooms to strengthen the strength of his rabbit ears power up
-- Was able to grab a large spinning drill capable of easily drilling through solid rocks and bust them with his ears after doing so
- Can combine his rabbit ears with fire flowers so he can use both the rabbit ears and fire flowers at the same time
- Bunny ears are capable of easily lifting and carrying boulders over Mario's head before chucking them at enemies
- Can wrap his ears around a cannon so he can run around firing said cannon at enemies while carrying it on his head
- Can use his ears to catch numerous bullet bills and throw them back at enemies or just bat away/deflect projectiles all together
- Can use these ears to propel himself under water while also deflecting under water foes
- Are strong enough to snap the horns off of a Mogyo (Bull fish enemy)


Balloon Mario Power ups:
- Mario's bouncy balloon body can rebound projectiles back at his foes (Unless they're spiked)
- Mario can also throw balloon power ups at enemies to inflate them and hinder their movements

- Balloon Mario can be popped and be forced back to normal if he hits something sharp like nails or spikes

Moon Mario:
- Mario can also detach the moon from his hat and take control of it with his mind
- He can maneuver this moon through the air to damage his enemies


Fly Swatter:
- The same fly swatter used in Mario Pant (and in the mini game one can play on Mario Maker)
- This fly swatter is used for dealing with giant bugs (Including robotic ones)
- Can cartoonishly flatten large bugs with one hit
- Can even flatten Bowser


New Forms:


Statue Mario:
- Can turn into this form upon an enemy trying to petrify him/turn him into stone
- Looks similar to the statue that Mario turns into as Tanuki Mario

Enemy Armor:

- Has a Goomba for a hat
- Has the wings of the Paratroopa (Giving him flight)

- Bullet bills allow Mario to jet through the air
- Mario can also fire the bullet bills off of his feet into enemies
- Can also materialize a GIANT bullet bill to attack enemies and ride it straight into them
- Can also summon and throw tons of Bob-Bombs
- Can use the power of the a 'Boo' (A ghost) in order to disappear and re-appear elsewhere
- Can use the the thwomp on his torso for a heavy stomp/crushing attack to crush enemies beneath him
- It should be noted that Mario can only use this armor with all the necessary minions/enemies, and also if they all agree to it
-- It's unlikely they'd ever help him out again since the only time they allowed Mario to use their power was against Wart (Who Bowser was also against) making their alliance temporary
--- Though they might allow Mario to borrow their powers again if Mario is fighting some one that Bowser also considers an enemy



- As Doctor Mario, he can take out a giant syringe and stab it into an enemy (including ones made of solid stone like a Twomp) and use it to turn them into a pig

-- Mario took Yoshi's ashes, put them between two Yoshi eggs filled with enemies , closed them together, and brought Yoshi back to life (But now giant sized)

A lot of the links are a little old and faulty, but I never deleted the images from my STASH so hopefully you can see these:

Wow, not only did Wario tank Mario's punches, but can actually physically overpower him? The dude's so much tougher than he looks

(Guess it makes sense, since all the weight in his arms is muscle)

Wario's strength varies in different incarnations:

In some manga, he's weaker than Mario

In some manga, he fights evenly with Mario

and in this one, he seems more powerful than Mario all together

Really, I don't know about Mario's greater strength feats, but I always got the idea Wario was at least stronger physically.

I mean, the dude can piledrive freaking dragons in one game.

Of course, Mario has his infamous "Lifting a Koopa fortress out of the ground and punting it away like a foot ball" feat, though how much he lifted seems to vary from person to person.

Though to be fair, Wario's strength stats are usually greater than Mario's in most of the sports/spin off games (Whether you wanna count them or not)

In the Nintendo Power Super Mario Manga, Wario is weaker than Mario and needed to rely on an inflatable muscle suit in order to fight him.

In the KC Deluxe Manga; Wario and Mario were pretty even with Wario some times coming up on top with their 1 on 1 confrontations.

In "Super Mario-Kun" Wario is a total power house who easily over powers base form Mario, but Mario is usually able to beat him with power ups and such.

Plus, Wario has been confirmed stronger than Mario several times (example: Super Mario 64 DS, where he's emphasized as stronger than Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi) . So hey, there's that, I guess.
