Mario Chat / Re: Mariology (serious posts wanted)

When he becomes Fire Mario, he absorbs the energy, and it changes his physical appearance, and enables him to shoot smaller fireballs.
However, in SSB, he only picks it up, and is able to shoot more flame, but it doesn't make him any stronger. That's my theory.
When Mario picks it up, the magic of the flower is transferred to him, changing his appearance and making the flower a normal flower. That's why/how he doesn't absorb the ones in SSB.
