How Powerful is Mario ACTUALLY? — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The world of Nintendo is a place full of
- 0:02fascinating characters that each have
- 0:05their own incredible abilities. But out
- 0:07of all these characters, one of them
- 0:09stands out the most, Mr. Video Game
- 0:11himself, Super Mario. Now, in this
- 0:14video, we're going to be going over
- 0:17Mario's feats, hacks, his abilities, his
- 0:20strength, his speed, his power, all of
- 0:22that to determine just how strong he
- 0:25actually is. However, before we get to
- 0:28scaling, we're going to need to set some
- 0:30rules. Mainly two. One, there will be
- 0:33absolutely no Paper Mario scaling in
- 0:36this video. The Mario we're going to be
- 0:38scaling is going to be from the mainline
- 0:40games and spin-offs [music]
- 0:41such as Mario and Luigi. And second,
- 0:44this video is going to be separated into
- 0:46categories. Like one of the categories
- 0:48[music] going to be low-tier scaling,
- 0:50mid-tier scaling, high-tier scaling,
- 0:52speed, hacks, and abilities. Now, to
- 0:55commence our scaling, we're going to be
- 0:57moving on to Mario and Luigi
- 0:58partnership. Now, in that game, we're
- 1:00introduced to something called the Ice
- 1:02Flower. The Ice Flower is an item that
- 1:04grants you ice manipulation. You shoot
- 1:06ice balls, you freeze enemies, you do
- 1:08all that stuff, yada yada yada. You get
- 1:10the point. In partnership, the Ice
- 1:12Flower has a statement of being able to
- 1:14freeze the sun. This is pretty verbatim
- 1:17star level. There's no real need for
- 1:20extra elaboration. Since the Ice Flower
- 1:23is something that's part of Mario's
- 1:24arsenal, we can just grant him star
- 1:27level AP based off of that. Now, moving
- 1:30on to Mario Party 6, in the mini-game
- 1:32Black Hole Boogie, Mario gets sucked
- 1:34into a black hole. And while he gets
- 1:37sucked into the black hole,
- 1:38>> [music]
- 1:38>> the black hole starts to close before
- 1:40entering the Hawking explosion. Now, the
- 1:42Hawking explosion is basically when like
- 1:44the [music] black hole decides to, you
- 1:46know, go boom. It releases all its
- 1:48energy in 0.1 seconds. [music] And Mario
- 1:51basically just tanks this in base. When
- 1:53we say tank, we really mean that Mario
- 1:56just tanked it. He walked out of that
- 1:58explosion completely fine. You see him
- 2:01in the background without a singular
- 2:03[music] scratch. So, we can just grant
- 2:05Mario star level to large star level
- 2:07durability [music]
- 2:08based off that feat. Now, in Mario
- 2:10Galaxy, we're introduced to something
- 2:12called the Galaxy Reactor. And to really
- 2:15like sum it up the best way I can, the
- 2:17Galaxy Reactor is basically just a giant
- 2:20bomb that absolutely destroys
- 2:24the universe. And Mario doesn't
- 2:27necessarily tank it. He actually gets
- 2:29shielded by Rosalina. However, that's
- 2:32perfectly fine because we can easily
- 2:34just argue Mario would still scale to
- 2:37the Galaxy Reactor [music] via Bowser.
- 2:39Now, Bowser actually just tanked the
- 2:41Galaxy Reactor. Like, he was
- 2:43[music and singing] at the epicenter of
- 2:44the explosion before everything it
- 2:46started. When it turned into this big
- 2:48vortex, Bowser was there. Bowser was
- 2:51directly in [music] the middle of that
- 2:53vortex. And then when it exploded,
- 2:56obviously, Bowser tanked the full brunt
- 2:58of the explosion and came out just fine.
- 3:00And this same Bowser gets consistently,
- 3:03and I mean consistently, beat on by
- 3:06Mario across all the games. Like,
- 3:09like, I don't even need to show that
- 3:11many. There's just [music] so many
- 3:12instances of Mario beating up Bowser.
- 3:15So, we're not going to elaborate on
- 3:16that. But, we're going [music] to make a
- 3:19quick detour. Before we can wrap up the
- 3:21lowball scaling, we're going to need to
- 3:22go over the physics of the Marioverse.
- 3:25The Marioverse basically runs on
- 3:26Einstein's theory of relativity. And
- 3:29basically, to sum it up, it implies that
- 3:31space and time are intertwined.
- 3:33>> [music]
- 3:33>> So, if I transcend time, I transcend
- 3:35space. If I lack space, I by proxy lack
- 3:38time. You get the point. In Super Mario
- 3:41RPG, we're introduced to this being
- 3:43called Culex. Culex was going to destroy
- 3:46and completely consume the dimension of
- 3:49time. Since we're was to destroy [music]
- 3:50the dimension of time, By proxy, he was
- 3:53going to destroy the dimension of space.
- 3:55He was going to destroy [music] a
- 3:56space-time continuum, which would
- 3:58automatically make him 4D or uni plus.
- 4:02Now that we're done with the low ball
- 4:04scaling, we can divert our attentions
- 4:06[music] onto the mid ball scaling. Now,
- 4:09in Super Mario Galaxy, there's this
- 4:11galaxy called Matter Splatter Galaxy.
- 4:14And it's in the Japanese version of the
- 4:16game is blatantly called a super space.
- 4:19Now, a super space is basically just an
- 4:22extra dimension of [music] space. And
- 4:24since we've already justified why space
- 4:26and time are intertwined, this super
- 4:28space is going to be blatantly 5D or in
- 4:31other words, low complex multiversal.
- 4:34This same realm got completely destroyed
- 4:36[music]
- 4:37by the galaxy reactor, which we've
- 4:39already justified Mario scaling [music]
- 4:41to. So, we're also going to get Mario to
- 4:435D via this. In Super Mario 64, we're
- 4:47introduced to Big Boo. Now, Big Boo is
- 4:50an extra dimensional ghost. It's
- 4:52basically the same thing as the super
- 4:53space. Space and time are intertwined,
- 4:55which would make this 4D. [music]
- 4:57Big Boo is an added dimension, which
- 4:59would make him 5D. Mario is able to
- 5:01absolutely clobber Big Boo in three
- 5:04hits, which [music] means that Mario in
- 5:0564 is going to be 5D. If you somehow
- 5:09don't grant Mario scaling to Big Boo,
- 5:12which you should because Mario simply
- 5:14just defeats him in three hits, Bowser
- 5:16created a realm that was capable of
- 5:18holding a 5D being. And Mario in that
- 5:21very same game comfortably beats [music]
- 5:24Bowser. So, he would still be 5D by
- 5:27proxy in 64.
- 5:30Now, finally, [music] with the mid ball
- 5:33scaling done, we can now finally move on
- 5:37to the high ball section. Now, going
- 5:40back to Mario Galaxy, we're introduced
- 5:43to a little place called the Try Galaxy.
- 5:45Now, the Try Galaxy is very simple. It's
- 5:48a realm that ignores all sense, all
- 5:51imagination, and all limitations. And if
- 5:54they ignore all limitations, by proxy,
- 5:57they'll ignore the conceptual [music]
- 5:58limits of space and time. If you ignore
- 6:01or disregard or just don't require the
- 6:05conceptual limits of space and time, by
- 6:07definition, you are outer versal. Mario
- 6:11scales to this like how he scaled to
- 6:13super space. The galaxy reactor
- 6:15destroyed everything. It destroyed the
- 6:18child galaxy. Bowser [music] tanks the
- 6:20galaxy reactor. Mario is above Bowser in
- 6:23power. Therefore, Mario is going to be
- 6:26outer versal. Common attack [music]
- 6:28galaxy when people see this argument is
- 6:31they'll say, "Oh, this is just
- 6:32hyperbole. It's just like language to
- 6:35make it seem that it's truly this
- 6:37strong, [music] but it isn't." Or it's
- 6:39just exaggeration.
- 6:40But that's not the case. The game not
- 6:43only uses the word all with these, so
- 6:45they mean absolutely everything. They go
- 6:47[music] as far as to detail that there
- 6:49is absolutely nothing that limits the
- 6:51child galaxy. Not sense, not
- 6:53imagination, [music]
- 6:54not any form of limitation, nothing.
- 6:57There is not a singular thing that
- 6:59bounds the child galaxy. [music] So we
- 7:01know that they're not exaggerating. This
- 7:03is absolutely the game, the narrative
- 7:06being serious. So it's just going to
- 7:08logically follow that the realm is outer
- 7:10versal.
- 7:11Now that we've handled all the scaling
- 7:13for Mario's power, we can finally move
- 7:15on to Mario's speed. So in Mario Galaxy
- 7:182, Luigi is able to travel to different
- 7:21worlds. Now, normally this would just be
- 7:23FTL. However, these worlds were
- 7:25referenced to these to galaxies, [music]
- 7:27and these galaxies are separated to
- 7:29space and time. For Luigi to travel
- 7:32these worlds, these realms, without any
- 7:34assistance, he would necessarily need
- 7:36immeasurable speed. Mario is able to be
- 7:38relative to Luigi [music] in speed.
- 7:40Whether you think Luigi is slightly
- 7:42faster or you think Mario is slightly
- 7:43faster, doesn't matter. All that matters
- 7:45that Lou Mario is able to keep up and be
- 7:47relative to Luigi. This would grant
- 7:49Mario a measurable speed by proxy as
- 7:51well. Looking back at Galaxy 1, at the
- 7:54end, it was revealed that Bowser was
- 7:56going to make the universe fold on
- 7:58itself by destroying or manipulating
- 8:00[music] the dimensions of space and
- 8:02time. Now, at near the end of the game,
- 8:04obviously we know that the universe gets
- 8:06destroyed. It resets itself. It remakes
- 8:07[music] itself. Meaning that while it
- 8:09was remaking itself, there was a period
- 8:11of time or like a short instance where
- 8:13there was just no dimension of space
- 8:15[music] and no dimension of time. Mario
- 8:18and Rosalina and Peach, they all existed
- 8:20in there. However, [music] they were
- 8:22still able to move. They were in a
- 8:24bubble, yes, a shield that was going to
- 8:25protect them, but it didn't like just
- 8:28have its own dimension of space or time.
- 8:30No, there was nothing. They were still
- 8:32able to move. Their movement unhindered
- 8:35by the dimension of space and time,
- 8:36which would just grant them a measurable
- 8:37speed.
- 8:39Now, as for Mario's abilities, he's able
- 8:41to breathe underwater, has non-physical
- 8:43interaction, is able to punch [music]
- 8:44ghosts, fire manipulation with a fire
- 8:47flower, ice manipulation with the ice
- 8:49flower, fourth wall awareness as Mario
- 8:50with the staff was interacting with the
- 8:52player, explosion manipulation with
- 8:54bombs, flight [music] with the red star,
- 8:56surface scaling power bestowal,
- 8:58existence erasure, metal manipulation,
- 9:00enhanced swimming, air manipulation with
- 9:03Lakitu's [music] hurricane, toon force
- 9:05weapons creation, spirit manipulation,
- 9:08and fate manipulation. Now, [music] as
- 9:10for Mario's hax and yes, strength
- 9:12amplification and nullification, speed
- 9:14amplification and nullification,
- 9:16durability amplification and [music]
- 9:18nullification, instantaneous damage,
- 9:20regeneration, life restoration, damage
- 9:22nullification, transmutation, energy
- 9:24restoration, barrier invincibility, and
- 9:26cloning. [music] And finally, he also
- 9:28has the beanstalk. Now, what the
- 9:31beanstalk is is this. It's this artifact
- 9:33that can grant you any and all desires
- 9:36while doing anything logically possible.
- 9:39So, [music] it's automatically just
- 9:41going to be absolute wishing. Which
- 9:43means Mario can be granted perfect
- 9:45wishes without any rules, costs,
- 9:48loopholes, restrictions, none of that.
- 9:49He can get absolute perfect wishes
- 9:52without any single restriction in a
- 9:54fight. But, uh yeah, that basically sums
- 9:57up this video. In conclusion, Mario is
- 9:59skilled to
- 10:00immeasurable to irrelevant speeds. I
- 10:02just want to give a huge thank [music]
- 10:03you to KD, Velocity Agent Savage, and
- 10:06Goofy for helping me with the production
- 10:08of this video. Make sure to follow the
- 10:10TikTok. I will start posting on there
- 10:12more often. Make sure to join the
- 10:14Discord server Nexus [music] World. And
- 10:15that's basically it for today. I'll
- 10:17catch you guys later.
