One mighty sugar high.

I think it's safe to say that they call him "Super" Mario for a reason, and the ability to hurl a 500 pound Bowser is that reason. :P

Which is of course physically impossible unless he's aided by borderline supernatural powers and many of them.

My favorite explanation comes from an inside joke. He's a spastic Italian plumber.

My guess is that humans in the Mushroom Kingdom usually have superpowers, such as Peach's healing abilities and Wario's extreme physical strength.

That's all nothing but a guess! Can you say the power of the Super Mushrooms?

Getting a mushroom bulks you up by adding mass to your body. But this mass must be created and is therefore unstable, and breaks up when jolted too hard by an outside force. In SM64DS they should jump higher and farther, but it's just jumping as if he's still regular sized.

And it's not a guess because when Mario gets 120 stars he can do that huge spin jump. And the stars are like supernatural magic, hence, power stars.

Yoshi gives you that move.

Speaking of Yoshi, I am on a SMW kick right now, and have noted a couple of things about Yoshi in this game..

Yoshi can eat virtually every enemy in the game with little/no problem, right? Well, how is it that he can't swallow Koopa shells (regular and Masked-Kooopa) but he can swallow enemies that have fire-proof shells (Buzzy Beetles, Spinies, Spiketops) with no problem at all, even though they are shelled creatures?

My theory is that there is something about the fireproofness that makes them easier for Yoshi to digest.

The Chef · « **Reply #1031 on:** January 09, 2007, 07:47:29 PM »

Maybe Yoshi just chose to hold the Koopa shells in his mouth due to the powers he gets from holding them. Same principle with the Key and P-Switch. The problem is that if he holds it for too long, it'll eventually dissolve.

A fireproof substance on the shells could make them smoother and with less friction.

This is my Theory!

Mushroom Aliens came down and attacked the 'Shroom Kingdom, the Soldiers weren't strong enough to defeat the Aliens. The humans evacuated the planet and left Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, and Daisy to be raised by the Toads.

Reply if you have better story!

Why would you leave children in a place that's getting invaded...

And then leave the kids...?
