Mario Multipliers?

[Foxthefox1000]

This is a relatively simple thread (I hope).

Basically, in Mario Party 2, the Power Stars grant Mario a 10x increase in strength. How do we know this? Because Bowser uses his metal transformation to give him the weight of 10 Bowsers, with Mario unable to throw him in this state until he has a Star given to him. This seems like a clear multiplier to me. Before, we didn't know exactly how much Power Stars increase Mario's strength by, but now we have an example of just one increasing it up to ten times.

This of course means that with the maximum number of Power Stars Mario can have, whether you see it as 120 or 150, I'll use 150. That's a 1,500x increase in strength if I'm not mistaken.

So basically just add the fact that Power Stars can increase Mario's strength up to 10x and then list the absolute maximum multiplier he can get. This SHOULD be simple but we'll see.

this sounds more like a multiplier to his LS, not AP

 

[Mad_Dog_of_Fujiwara]

Sure but this is for LS only; We don't scale AP to LS.

slowest vs debater in the west huh

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I am not really sure I buy this as a 1200x or 1500x multiplier would literally turn a stomp around and would defeat the purpose of needing to collect That many.

 

[Kirbonic_Pikmin]

I mean, this seems relatively solid, but as everyone else has said, this would only apply to LS, yeah. Since it’s a lifting/weight feat.

 

[Mephistus]

How is it established Mario's specific max base strength he can only lift Bowser here though....? I think the multiplier would be different than 10x if we are basing it off his feats with that only in mind; I guess for a low end unamped LS feat for this era he can lift King Bob-omb and with effort toss him a lil bit of distance, compared to the force feat of chucking extra thicc Bowser into outer space, which would result in a way higher multiplier than merely lifting.

Bump

I'm actually planning a CRT for this. See, I've always thought Mario should have a 3-B key and Multi-Stellar lifting strength after the latest calculation in Mario Party 4 a month ago.

I will be there when it happens

 

[Eficiente]

This is not true, to amp strength a certain amount of times isn't the rule going on, it's simply to amp strength. More of the same would simply amp the power more to an unknown degree, not following that same multiplier. More to it, 1 Power Star allowed Mario to one-shot Bowser and toss him across the world, far more Power Stars aren't going to do far less unless he's using less power from them or if Bowser's single Power Star counters what Mario has going on.

 

[Omnificence]

So, what is the consensus here?

What do you think about this?

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Based on the Multipliers page we may need some evidence that this applies to more than just Lifting Strength.

Multipliers

A multiplier is generally some number a different number is multiplied with to get a new number. For our VS Battles use we more specifically refer to a number as multiplier, if that number is multiplied with some statistic of a character or its attacks to get a new statistic for the character...

vsbattles.fandom.com

"One should also consider which statistic a multiplier applies to. If a character just gets 10 times more powerful, then that doesn't necessarily means that all of its statistics are multiplied by 10."

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, what Maverick said.
