The Mario Bros fodder pages (e.g. Goomba, Koopa, Charging Chuck) have been outdated for a while now and do not reflect the majority of the feats that these characters, or characters of relative power, have performed. This thread aims to update their tierings and feats listed. For reference, I've compiled a full list of feats for Mario fodder here. Thanks to Imaginym and Im_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die for helping me to compile feats.
The main feats here are Monty Mole digging a tunnel (0.716 tons), Sumo Bros generating lightning with their stomps (Considered to be around 0.66 tons), and (small) Chain Chomps destroying blocks (0.29 and 1 ton). Bullet Bills explosions can supposedly yield 8-C energy as well, would appreciate it if someone can send footage of this. The former and latter calcs have both been accepted, and lightning is accepted as 8-C already. To clarify a few things, this is not a durability feat, but rather an AP feat that specifically scales to the Sumo Bros' physicals (caused by them stomping their foot). The guide shows this lightning coming from above, and The Origami King shows this more explicitly, though that Sumo Bro in particular is a boss and should be considered to be above average fodder.
On top of the 8-C feats listed here, there are several supporting feats that are above the feat already listed on the Goomba's profile. Goombas surviving a castle explosion (0.0064 tons), Charging Chucks destroying rocks (0.08 tons) and the aforementioned bullet bill explosions, which are calculated at 0.21 tons but Jacky claims they can go higher.
Along with the above, there are several feats which would likely yield values around this level by inspection: Super Mario Party cast tank volcanic rubble (Cast includes Monty Mole, Goomba and Koopas who can replicate this), Charging Chucks destroying more rocks (Would likely yield 9-A/8-C judging by Jacky's calcs) and Koopas surviving the explosion of the Koopa Cruiser (as shown right after, they survive it, though look worse for wear).
I also wanted to bring up a potential 7-C feat for clarity's sake. This calculation puts the explosions of Bob-Ombs at 7-C. The calc is offsite + unevaluated, but I don't have any specific issue with the calc itself, though I don't agree with scaling fodder to this feat. For one, the explosions of Bob-Ombs are typically more powerful than anything else that fodder display. They're consistently used to harm bosses, such as King Bob-Omb and even Bowser himself. However, it should be noted that the Bob-Ombs are also durable enough to take this explosion, as they are shown having survived this after, which brings me to my second point. This would likely be an outlier - fodder or not, these character have been around in a massive library of games spanning 35+ years, and would need more than one feat around this level for it to be consistent. If we take the approach that this is a durability feat for the Bob-Ombs, they would likely have to scale to the full yield, which is 7-B, even further above the feats listed here. This is why I've gone to the effort to show that 8-C is consistent here with 3-5 feats on this level, and numerous other supporting feats.
Summary:
Mario fodder have consistent 8-C feats and numerous supporting feats. No matter how you slice it, 9-B fodder has to go.
There is a potential 7-C feat - while I personally disagree with using it, I'm happy to open up that discussion
