shoots water
hover/rocket jump/turbo
can make a tennis racket appear to bat things back at enemies
Mini Mario Mech:
- In the Manga, Mario's "Mini Mario" toys can all come together and become a giant mech
-- Though it only has an upper half, so there's a chance that it can't move far or is totally stationary
- This Mech is strong enough to one-shot Donkey Kong's mech, which was strong enough to beat the ever-loving crap out of Mario himself
Mystery Mushroom:
- When this mushroom goes into a pipe, it turns that pipe into a pipe bazooka
- Mario can then use this Bazooka to blow away enemies (As well as his own teammates...)

- Covers himself in a fiery aura and has the power of flight
- Presumably gains all the abilities associated with each power-up used (Invincibility, Fire, Flight, A tail to whack things with, and the power to throw hammers)

- True power/potential of this form is unknown (Only used once so far)
Mixed Power Up Mario (Second variation):
- Mario can once again make use of different power-ups at the same time and combines them all in one form
- In this case, he makes use of the frog suit, the super leaf, the Cape Feather, and the Carrot

- It should be noted that Mario can only use this armor with all the necessary minions/enemies, and also if they all agree to it

--- Though they might allow Mario to borrow their powers again if Mario is fighting someone that Bowser also considers an enemy
Chef Mario:
- In this form, Mario makes use of Yoshi Cookies
- Can seemingly assume/turn into this form at any time

- Mario once actually negotiated with his creator to give him power-ups before going into a Koopaling castle
-- Did so without the knowledge of the other Koopalings
Other:
- Can do a rolling attack in conjunction with Yoshi that is potent enough to tear through larger foes (LINK) (Volume 01)

- Mario is capable of harnessing electricity after being violently shocked and shooting it out of his hands and firing it all back at his foe
-Mario's hammer in the Paper Mario arc is alive and has been enchanted with the essence of Madame Flurry. It can come back to him if it gets separated from him by itself, and it also enjoys kissing him because it has Madame Flurry's personality.

S.F.C nunchucks:
-uses two SNES controllers as nunchucks as weapons
-gains a cape
-Capable of deflecting machine gun speed piranha plant seeds
-can make a barrier
-can pseudo stop time when pause is pressed
--everyone remains conscious and Mario cannot move until pause is pressed again with some effort
Super Scrope:
- can shoot energy projectiles
- If he points his Super Scope in the opposite direction and fires, he can propel himself upwards for a long jump
Star Gun:
- Mario's power star (Not to be confused with superstar/Starman) can turn into a gu
- Shoots some kind of beam at enemies
-- Said beam is powerful enough to blow Bowser away and send him flying off far away
F.L.U.D.D:
shoots water
hover/rocket jump/turbo
can make a tennis racket appear to bat things back at enemies
Mini Mario Mech:
- In the Manga, Mario's "Mini Mario" toys can all come together and become a giant mech
-- Though it only has an upper half, so there's a chance that it can't move far or is totally stationary
- This Mech is strong enough to one-shot Donkey Kong's mech, which was strong enough to beat the ever-loving crap out of Mario himself
Mystery Mushroom:
- When this mushroom goes into a pipe, it turns that pipe into a pipe bazooka
- Mario can then use this Bazooka to blow away enemies (As well as his own teammates...)
Lightning Bolt:
- The very same lightning bolt Mario has used in Mario Kart (And Mario Tennis)
- Mario has used it outside of the race track to shrink and weaken his opponent
- Mario has made use of this item quite a few times in the manga as a method of weakening his enemies
- For the record, it not only shrunk foes down but also slowed them down too
- In the manga, the electricity/shock of the lightning bolt can also damage foes
Mixed Power Up Mario:
- Can combine all of his power-ups from Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World (Which would consist of the Mushroom, The Starman, The Fire Flower, The Raccoon Leaf, the Hammer Bros Suit, The Magic Flute, the P-Wing, and others) (LINK) to becomes a new form that mixes all their attributes
- Covers himself in a fiery aura and has the power of flight
- Presumably gains all the abilities associated with each power-up used (Invincibility, Fire, Flight, A tail to whack things with, and the power to throw hammers)
- Powerful enough to one-shot Bowser while in this form (Or at least Bowser from the SNES era of the franchise)
- True power/potential of this form is unknown (Only used once so far)
Mixed Power Up Mario (Second variation):
- Mario can once again make use of different power-ups at the same time and combines them all in one form
- In this case, he makes use of the frog suit, the super leaf, the Cape Feather, and the Carrot
- Gains the ability to make use of all the attributes these power-ups give at the same time:
- Gains better swimming and jumping ability due to the feet of the frog suit
- Gains better gliding and flying abilities thanks to the rabbit ears, raccoon tail, and cape
- Can also attack by spinning around the ears on his head as well as his cape and tail to whack enemies
- Can use his ears and tail like extra appendages to attack foes
Enemy Armor:
- Mario combines several of his enemies into special armor that gives him several abilities
- Has a Goomba for a hat
- Have the wings of the Paratroopa (Giving him flight)
- Has a "Thwomp" for a torso
- Has a pair of Bullet Bills for shoes
- Bullet bills allow Mario to jet through the air
- Mario can also fire the bullet bills off of his feet into enemies
- Can also materialize a GIANT bullet bill to attack enemies and ride it straight into them
- Can also summon and throw tons of Bob-Bombs
- Can use the power of a 'Boo' (A ghost) in order to disappear and re-appear elsewhere
- Can use the the Thwomp on his torso for a heavy stomp/crushing attack to crush enemies beneath him
- It should be noted that Mario can only use this armor with all the necessary minions/enemies, and also if they all agree to it
-- It's unlikely they'd ever help him out again since the only time they allowed Mario to use their power was against Wart (Who Bowser was also against) making their alliance temporary
--- Though they might allow Mario to borrow their powers again if Mario is fighting someone that Bowser also considers an enemy
Chef Mario:
- In this form, Mario makes use of Yoshi Cookies
- Can seemingly assume/turn into this form at any time
- Yoshi Cookies have a variety of uses:
- Can be thrown at enemies to distract them (Even if just for a little while)
- Can execute special attacks by throwing five cookies shaped like Yoshi's heads at enemies
-- Attacks include:
Yoshi Cookie Blind: Creates a wall of question-mark panels to block off enemies and projectiles to help for a quick escape
Yoshi Cookie Panic: After throwing five Yoshi cookies at a foe or small group of foes, they will momentarily be stunned
- Yoshi cookies can also be used by Yoshi himself (This includes the special attacks)
Egg Shell Armor Mario:
- Achieves this form when using his superstar on a pile of discarded Yoshi Egg Shells
- While in this form, Mario can wrap himself in a protective eggshell to protect himself from enemy attacks
- Can then fire a barrage star shapes on his armor as projectiles pierce enemy armor
Friction Gloves:
- Special gloves that are very rough and bumpy allowing Mario to grip things he normally can't grip
-- An example is Bowser's greased up slippery tail
Time Machine:
- Mario has a time machine made out of a barrel in the manga
- Has a nose on it so if his enemy (in this case Bowser) travels through time, the machine can literally sniff out what era/time they arrived at and go straight to them
- Used for tracking down/finding time traveling foes
4th Wall abilities:
- Giant sized Mario can break through his own manga panels
- Mario often talks to the Manga artist/Mangaka of "Super Mario-Kun"
- When the manga artist was failing to draw new material, both Mario and Luigi popped into the real world to check on him
-- Turns out he was too busy playing a Wii U to draw the manga
- Mario can also travel through the manga panels themselves to get away from his foes
- Mario once actually negotiated with his creator to give him power-ups before going into a Koopaling castle
-- Did so without the knowledge of the other Koopalings
Other:
- Can do a rolling attack in conjunction with Yoshi that is potent enough to tear through larger foes (LINK) (Volume 01)
- Mario survived falling in lava (though after getting horribly burned and then flattened like a pancake by a barrage of multiple falling blocks, he died. Though he later came back by annoying Emperor Enma long enough) (Volume 04)
- As Doctor Mario, he can take out a giant syringe and stab it into an enemy (including ones made of solid stone like a Twomp) and use it to turn them into a pig
- Mario is capable of harnessing electricity after being violently shocked and shooting it out of his hands and firing it all back at his foe
-Mario's hammer in the Paper Mario arc is alive and has been enchanted with the essence of Madame Flurry. It can come back to him if it gets separated from him by itself, and it also enjoys kissing him because it has Madame Flurry's personality.
