Sure why not. Simple answer is wait till its gone or use his own 'no damage' items. The shot has nothing to do with magic/defence, just sending away.
Mario has only used the Pure Hearts, Blumeire and Timpani's love activated the Purity heart. So Mario cant actually use the Purity's powers. Not that Ive seen anything to say it effects thing other then the Chaos.
If he starts with Star Power it's automatic. And besides the Purity Heart, Mario also has the Star Beam, which removed the power of a wish granting artifact. Oh, and if he really does have all items, Mario's also got intangibility, flight, regeneration, a stone or metal form, earthquakes, lightning attacks, etc. I don't feel like listing.
This is why you don't give a guy that been in literally hundreds of games everything he's ever had.

he has only one star tho and only one of every mushroom not flower or rock and metal form but all weapons while Dante is also limited in some things toEdit: the fight is in the jungles of Brazil...im sure Dante can wait for Mario to run ot of the star and then just shoot him
You make it sound as if he knows what the star even does 😐

im saying that if Dante shoots Mario while Mario approaches Dante and sees Mario totally unharmed, i am sure Dante might run for a bit...but can mario activate the star before Dante shoots him?

Also, if he sees Mario is not harmed by his bullets, he'll try his sword.
