Mario has gotten abused, in Super Mario Bros. 3 when he had to wear that rediculous-looking Frog Suit!
The reason Wario always gets beaten up when he gets new powers is because Nintendo wanted the game to have a wacky, cartoony feel to it...and they succeeded!
Personally, I think Mario has been abused the most, because he never got any big reward when he has rescued Peach all these years--just a simple cake and a kiss on the cheek! Why doesn't the Princess offer anything more, like a night of wild you-know-what...
Mario should marry the Princess. If he truely loves her so much, then why doesn't he propose to her one of these days?
