Mario in most games when he jumps into lava he dies. I never said he wasn't strong, only that him jumping on enemies is not strength, it's his weight that crushes enemies. He shows leg strength by how high he jumps, sure, but Ryu can jump as high, actually probably higher. Mario never picks Bowser up, he swings him by the tail, which is still impressive as he's probably abou 4 tons. And which game did Mario run up walls, I can't remember?
Mario can take this. He's not as weak as everyone thinks he is. Not to mention he excels at every single sport he has ever played; soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, the Olympic Games, and I'm sure I'm missing a few. Not to mention he has done more then any other character because unlike them he actually has a 20+ year history of doing heroic deeds.
Stopped Donkey Kong, stopped invading creatures coming out of pipes, defeated Bowser many, many times, defeated Wart, fought thousands of Koopas, Goombas, Hammer Bros., and much, much more. Not to mention the powerful Bob-ombs, Count Bleck, the Shroom Queen, Shadow Mario, King Bob-omb, Gomboss, and so many more enemies that it seems impossible to actually name every feat Mario has done.
Mario is easily able to hold his own against Ryu if not best him.

Originally posted by NikkolasBowser can survive in Lava because that's his natural habitat yo. When did Bowser tele? Big deal for his jumping, how would that slow jump help in a fight?
Bull snap.Bowser can teleport and survive being dumped in lava as well as jump dozens, if not hundreds, of feet in the air.
Originally posted by Last Fre3lancerBowser is a joke villain, but he shouldn't feel bad as most Nintendo villains are(one of the reasons I like Ganon, he's actually competant). Why does Bowser's shell not protect him against Mario's fireballs, let alone a Hadouken which blows holes in skyscrapers(this is before Oro's training mind you). In the original Mario you beat Bowser by jumping over him and hitting a switch to knock him in Lava,oh yeah he's real powerful and smart.rolleyes1
Bowser would turn around or hide in his shell to protect him from the Hadouken. Bowser's not as dumb as everyone thinks.
