How 'bout you find a reason to why he can reach the top of it?

Aura
So my own definition of "toonforce" is a humorous power, ability, or feat that is really not meant to be taken seriously and is just there for laughs.''

...and was clearly used as a storytelling device for the purposes of entertainment.
Rule 14
...and that the character is clearly intended to be able to do.

Can't even be validated as we'd have to go by how Mario himself in the gag feat reacts to the castle aka as if it were 10 ft tall.
4 quoted reasons why the feat is null.
Look what I found already. Mario being hit by LIGHTNING from the Star Rod and being rocketed out of Peach's castle, which is probably a few miles up in the air at that point, and he's going to be just fine. Before that he was hit with Bowser's fire breath.
Oh, wait, that's an atmospheric reentry durability feat for him. Cool.

Not unless you can prove some real physcis are at work there. So far what with recoiless cannons launching mario to the moon without any collateral effect, galaxies not being much bigger than planets and other weird mario shit. Its hard to suggest mario can have realistic statistics attributed to it at all.
Not to mension but hes not falling at any real speed. So there seems to be something up with the gravity. Also if you drop a piece of paper from a great height, its not considered durable just because it does not tear into fragments when it hits the ground. Its own weight is too little to build up much of an impact.
But as I said, no real physics or values present.
Yeh but this is mario, it is not governed by the same laws. Its a toon/gag universe. Therefore paper at that point does not have to burn or indeed at all unless its making a relevent point.
Scenario seemed to think they were paper, furthermore why is it called paper mario? it looks like their made of paper to me because of how they are 2d, and when they spin or move like how mario falls extremely slowly through the air, in a round about way that could mimic paper because of how light it is, it falls slower than a heavier object. Another reason why this feat would be useless.
Oh, look, another irrelevant toonforce argument. I didn't see that coming at all.
Scenario does his own thing. I won't knock his ideas, but I'll support my own. Why is it called Paper Mario? Because that's what they wanted to call it. Kind of like how a watch is called a watch despite not having any eyes.

How is that irrelevant? let me guess because of rule 14? rule 14 does not state that all toonforce/gag verses automaticaly become realistic physically, infact it states characters are to be portrayed in vs as they are in their games. That includes toonforce but that does not make you forcing real physics and realistic values on such a toonforce genre legitimate since thats not "portrayed" in the charcter, quite the opposite in marios case.
Thats your argument? just because they "wanted" to, not because it has any relevence to the game or the characters/design? hm unconvincing, Scenarios was more likely because the characters are 2d and mario as Scenario has shown turns himself into a paper aeroplane. Dont you think thats a better foundation than "just because the developers wanted to call it "paper" mario for lulz"?
Why did you caps lightning, we can see that O.o
Hitting the ground at below sonic speeds is ok, still think taking a bolt is better... maybe equal as he was knocked out. However its still < Dante's strength output.
Mario's speed is said to be Mach 2.4,[still looking into] with that he couldn't tag Dante and would most likely get blitzed by him.
The name Paper Mario has a relevance to how they are animated. But now how they behave, or how the world behaves. Which is like a world with closer to realistic physics than you would like to believe. Are they perfect? No. But it's not nearly imperfect enough to argue that they are unrealistic at all times.
I would argue that the lightning strike from the extremely powerful Star Rod is better for Mario's durability anyway.
@BT: Heard its from Luigi reacting to a small explosion. Id settle for peak human 'til I can find this damn calc..
@Moo: Personally haven't seen anything that shows the select few attacks [bolt and flame breath for instance] being amped or have a massive power due to the rod. Evident by how 2 bolts from Grodus were nearly enough to defeat him.
'k, maybe I misrepresented what I thought there. I do not believe Mario is literally paper, as in made from trees for writing on stationary. He's paper-thin, is the real point there. Everyone is 2-D, as has been said. If you want to go literally, we have fire...that is made of paper, not to mention the water. I believe I said before that everything is essentially paper but behaves as it would if it were not. Paper Mario fire burns just like normal fire, and water, lightning, ice, brick, etc. all behave as if there were not paper, despite being 2-Dimensional.
And in any case, I think I found the reason that Mario has been calc'd at being supersonic to hypersonic. It's this:

Those guys that look like CD players are shooting blasts of sound. Mario (Luigi in the vid) is capable of outrunning this even with that speed thing.
