Mushroom King


A different continuity of comics put out under the Nintendo Comics System label seemed to be set within the same universe as the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! with a few distinctions. First and foremost, Princess Toadstool’s father was a major and constant player in the story, one of his few true appearances.

This is the Mushroom King, who is portrayed as egregiously incompetent and stupid, prone to fits of irrational rage. It is often all the princess can do to keep him in line and run the kingdom herself to defend it from King Koopa. Although well-meaning most of the time, most of his contributions tend to be accidental at best.

In the game, Mushroom King will have some similar attributes as his daughter, probably passed on to her, but he will be heavier and slower, with less power behind his punches. His moveset will pull from across the series of comics, sometimes his general stumbling around, sometimes from various artifacts held by the royal family.

Likelihood rating: Non-game
