Mario's made of paper. Literally, he can turn into a paper airplane or just turn sideways to disappear. He wouldn't impact very hard anyway, as there's little mass there. However, the bomb still has enough force to send him to the moon, yet failed to scratch him.There is no such thing as a smoke bob-omb and those have never existed. The bob-omb blew him out of a dungeon, without hurting him at all. He was deep in a mine, and the explosion sent him back to the beginning. Obviously quite a lot of force there as well.
How well does Dante hold up to against soul stealing again? Or getting sealed inside a card?
Sounds like sorcery not force if hes made of paper, the same force would tear paper and if hes durable paper, durable enough to survive that then he would create a huge amount of impact when he hits the moon. he does not. The energy should still be transfered, it seems theres no energy, you cannot really use physics or try and accuratly deduce them if theres none present in the universe.
Not really if hes made out of paper.
He had a little resistance against the orb he held in DMC 3, but I dont think his soul resistances are as strong as his physical strength/speed.

Agreed. Plus, if he's made out of paper then the force needed to send him to the moon would be many times less. I guess that explains the lack of speed. The force was likely very low.

I don't recall Grodus' bolts ever knocking him out. He just fell down and got right back up, several times in succession, with no damage. Bowser's fire was amped by the wish granting artifact Star Rod at the point I think you're referring to.

Not really, everything is made of paper. The cannon is paper, the bombs were paper, the fire is paper. It's called Paper Mario for a reason. Yet, everything still interacts as if it were the real deal. Paper bombs will destroy paper walls, paper fire will still burn, etc. Everything's just really thin.
Mario was in a tube full of bombs that still behave as actual explosives.

That's from Super Mario RPG, not Paper in any way. Still a bomb, still the same exact results. This is a rare example of consistency in Mario.
Some soul resistance is better than no soul resistance. And the card thing, seems it doesnt always work and no chance on the strong ones/ones with high health. That and "However, the player will never successfully capture a boss with a Catch Card SP, for the cards to do not hold such power."
The SP version is much more effective than standard, and "boss" is a completely arbitrary designation that only appears in the wiki, rather than the game itself.
That info was on the wikia for SP, where a strong foe needs to be worn down first. Will take your word on the boss thing but I think its a reference to how strong foes can resist.

Both bolts knock him out for a short while, though after the second he's visibly worn out. Three lightning hits may be his limit.
And Bowers attacks went amped by the rod. He was granted invulnerability as per his wish and by what the move does in his final battle.

Not to mension also that those bombs or w/e they are floated about outside the cannons barrel after being fired if I remember correctly. Only Mario went any distance, not that I know the distance of the moon in that scene. In a toon, twisted fiction where certain laws are ignored and physics forgotten the moon could be just a few miles away from the end of the cannons barrel for all I know 😉
Not that it makesa difference, still no real force shown or energy transfered.

I think based on that and the typical Mario background theres no point in trying to deduce distances, physics or any feats at all. It is in no way rooted to our laws or physics.
Also is this paper mario? cant Dante just sweep his sword and mario will be sliced in two or is this a combination of marios? if its all of them in one then its going to have to be decided what hes form consists of.

Behold. This is Mario folding himself up into a paper airplane and flying around.
All of it is entirely unquantifiable, but i's fun just to look stuff like this up.
I think its paper due to the fact all the character models and props seem to be 2d, or thin piecies if that makes sense. Like when they spin on the spot you can see their a thin sheet of what I assume to be is paper, it sort of matches with the name "paper mario" anyway. I dont think the devs simply decided on that name for lulz.
