What? We aren't using SMG for his 4-A feats. They come from Yoshi's Story, Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, and Super Paper Mario.
King Boo's counts because we quite literally see on screen he makes these realms. Mater of Illusions was only stated once, but considering how everything else King Boo creates is very much real (Luigi breaks through a window after all), there's nothing much suggesting he didn't make them. Add that with how he created several realms, yeah it seems to be a bigger assumption that they're just illusions. Not even sure why that applies to his realms.
Yes, we have an entire calc for it.
Here’s a complete list of the Tier 4 feats. It’s not just from SMG.

Literally just finding an item collectible in-gameplay and not a literal ability.
I mean, the amount of water Fludd holds is not ordinary physics, with no cutscene contradicting the gameplay or level design.
"Mario got so much stronger in the Isle Delfino Challenge Arc than he was in the 64 Power Stars Arc due to off-screen training in the Underwhere."
"A pathway to another world has opened above our fair land."
The issue with that is how we see said portals are used. Because what you use is a false comparison. Anytime a character enters a standard level, they dissolve and reform from particles. Now let's look at the secret levels. When Mario enters, it's just that. He does not dissolve like he does with any other level. So these cannot be compared, as the portals Junior makes to access levels work differently from entering a secret level. It's also wacky to just say Junior made a portal to another place at Delfino Island. The secret levels are nowhere on the map, where as every other level is shown to take place on the island. So I can safely say Junior via the brush created these worlds.
I admit the profile wording needs a fix-up, but they still have scaling, which I will explain.
I'll use it as more of a durability feat. Junior mainly attacks Mario via the brush itself. And as shown all over the levels, paint just by touching it can harm you. And since everything Junior creates is via the paint, it scales. He'll also use the brush's paint as an attack in Junior's Journey against other bosses and Koopalings. Additionally, many of the bosses are created by the paint, which Mario can harm. And since it all comes from the brush as the source, it all comes back and scales.
The paint appearing right next to the secret levels suggests that Shadow Mario himself was doing these via the paint itself.
You've used this same argument before, and nothing has changed. Yoshi's always been able to create stuff by eating fruits. So Yoshi creating a Power Star from eating fruits is not anything new, to say otherwise takes more assumptions. And that second argument. Yikes. Well first off Matt, I think you mean Shine Sprites, not Power Stars. Those are two very different items. Second, there's a difference between creating and containing. In Yoshi's case, he's consistently shown to create via fruits. In your example, we have zero context. It's more likely that it just contains it.
The realm itself was not called an illusion. It also makes very little sense to say the realm is just all an illusion and none of the setting is real. The og mansion was called an illusion, but it's still a feat due to how solid it was and the size. This also applies to Dark Moon, everything King Boo creates is shown to be solid and something that can actually harm you. This isn't a Mysterio case. Unless you're telling me when Luigi walks on stairs, he's just floating because he thinks he's on something. It's also shown King Boo's creations hit himself. To say that everything else King Boo creates that isn't the background is silly. Master of Illusions should probably be referring to how tricky Boos can be, with them creating fake doors and stuff. However in those cases, we see those are revealed to be fake. Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon doesn't display this. So I think you'll need more evidence than just the title itself.
When both are made via the same source, the paint, that itself allows them to scale. Junior has no reason to not go all out, he wanted Mario gone. Same source, same power. Both are done in the same method.
This is not an argument you just eat fruit in game and you get a Power Star, you're just assuming that he is creating a power star and ******** it out instantly and that this scales to AP. You don't have evidence of that you just think it makes the most sense for you
How is that an assumption? Yoshi eats fruits, gets full, creates a Power Star. It's literally on-screen and we have already seen him do something similar. It's far from an assumption.
Er, so you support the feat?
Yes, it does. Because taken from your own words, "Yeah Shadow Mario opened a portal (aka pathway) to another world. Same thing he does throughout the game. Painting portals to other areas. This line never says Shadow Mario created this other world. Just like Shadow Mario didn't create Bianco Hills, he just made a portal that instantly takes the player to that part of the island"
That IS an actual statement. Your entire argument AGAINST said statement was again, that this just means he made a portal like any other level. The word "opened" is literally there to suggest he made them. Considering how there was no pathway towards such a place, but all of a sudden there is, guess what, he just made that world. And like I just said, this is not the same case as any other normal stages, there's too many important details. Should also be noted that Junior states anytime he draws with the brush itself, all his "wishes come true".
You don't feats when scaling is a thing. Not only did you ignore the section where I state Junior uses the brush itself as a weapon, but your argument if needing feats to actually scale is stupid. That's why scaling is a thing. Someone preforms a feat, you can contend with them, therefore you're around that level. The reason why the bosses scale is due to the paint itself being 4-A, shocking right? And how did Junior create said realm? With the paint. Considering how these enemies manage to harm Mario suggest they weren't made with fodder in mind. This is me saying someone creates a planet via magic. They also use that magic as an offensive ability. That magic isn't planet level in power.
"I'm gonna create dangerous monsters and hazards, but they won't kill Mario." ???
