Invincible Mario: Difference between revisions

'''Invincible Mario''' is a form [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] assumes after using a [[Star]]. In this state, which only lasts for a few seconds, he is resistant to any [[Enemies|enemy]]. Additionally, he is able to defeat most of them by simply touching them. However, he can still die from falling into a [[pit (obstacle)|pit]], [[lava]], or poison water, being crushed, touching [[Volcano Smog]] or a [[Boohemoth]], or running out of time. Invincible Mario, just like the Star, made its first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Invincibility is depicted by a flashing, and, in later games, also color-changing character. Since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Mario]] now flips when he jumps in this form, in a similar fashion to [[Samus Aran]], who only appears alongside Mario in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Since this is not really a transformation, Mario can become invincible and retain his current form (For example, if he is [[Fire Mario]] and gets a Star, he becomes invincible, but he is still in Fire form.). Wario can also become invincible, and also much faster, in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' by using a Starman as well. In most games, when Mario is damaged, he will be invulnerable for a few seconds as well.
