Mario has been shown to possess superhuman strength. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', he is seen lifting a fortress out of the ground and then kicking it away. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he can carry and throw the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], although with some difficulty. During the battles with Bowser, Mario can grab him by the tail, spin him, and throw him. His strength is also shown in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where he can easily stun a [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]] with a Star Spin despite its great size and can knock Bowser around during battles with him. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]'', although he is visibly straining, he is able to lift and throw an obese Luigi when using the [[Snack Basket]] move. In the spinoffs, Mario, although usually balanced, boasts generally slightly above average power, and in golf he has one of the strongest drives. He also has superhuman endurance, being capable of falling from high places such as a skyscraper without being hurt or just taking moderate damage, and a superhuman speed, being capable of keeping up with faster characters like Yoshi. He's also resistant to both heat and cold, as in some games, he can fall in lava without dying, and in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', he can fall in lava or similar substances or swim in icy water half-naked for around a minute and still explore the world while being | Mario has been shown to possess superhuman strength.

In this game, if he falls on lava, it burns his skin, and icy water partially freezes him, but those injuries disappear after a few seconds. | ||
Mario has been designed to be a versatile character deliberately. As a result, whenever he appears in a game, his emphasis is always, in both spinoffs and mainstream games, a balanced playstyle, allowing him to participate and perform well in many situations. Indeed, his bios have frequently and consistently described him as a "jack of all trades." Another result of his versatility is the number of occupations he holds, including his most notable and iconic identity of being a plumber. | Mario has been designed to be a versatile character deliberately.
