Character Sheet: Mario (Revision)

MARIO

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

First up is our main man Mario, who acts as a damsel-in-distress character for all three Luigi's Mansion games and Super Princess Peach, and only appears briefly in a cutscene in Treasure Tracker. As such, he really doesn't do much in any of the games, the key exception being when he shows off and scales the top of the Last Resort hotel while Luigi has to take a ladder. Not much to say really.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Cape

Up B: Super Jump Punch

Down B: Item Box
I've been toying recently with the idea of the item box being a gateway to his other playable forms. We already have Fursuit and FLUDD Mario, and Paper and Doctor Mario are definitely on their way, so I wondered since we already have Bowser Jr. and Shadow Mario connected via transformation, a possibility might be that Mario might whack an item box and it will pop out an item to transform him into one of the others. I don't know how it would entirely work, and I hesitate to take away a move from the others, but it's a possibility. For those we have so far or know are coming, we could have a Super Leaf (Fursuit), FLUDD Nozzle (FLUDD), Megavitamin (Doctor), and maybe a Book (Paper). Let me know what you think down below.
(Side note: I don't want to include this for Baby Mario or any other character slot that would include Mario as only the first color swap with the other babies taking up the others. Probably best to go with those that are Mario and Mario only.)

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom

Entrance: Pops up from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Still okay with his various Smash taunts as most of them are reflected in game.

Next up, let's cover Luigi!
