Unless he is going to be in those conditions (which this thread says nothing about) then he is going to be the normal Mario, the super plumber....And MC is like a fly in firepower compared to Samus, but the same goes for Samus against MC in physical stats. He will be up to her in no time, and will stoll her like crazy. It is not her firepower that is the factor here, it is how she is able to handle his strenght, speed and technique...
The thread doesn't say anything about Mario not being able to use certain items from his games, it doesn't even say if Master Chief or Samus gets to use their armour. Since you are suggesting they're fighting in their prime then Mario can use what he has fought with before.
