Thats right Mr. Nintendo himself is getting his own thread here I will be posting all of Mario's feats he has done outside of the Paper Mario series due to the fact that theres a seperate thread for Paper Mario even though IMO they should be in the same canon but thats a different discussion all together.

Strength- Ahh Strength. This is definitely something I don't think Mario is lacking in lets look at some feats.

In Super Mario world He was able to Lift and boost a castle and break another by jumping on it.

In Super Mario 64 he lifts and throws enemies who are notably bigger than him the most obvious one is Bowser.

In Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario galaxy he uses tornados as a platforming gimmick

and Knocked Meteorites out of weak orbit and used them against Bowser.

(that link also has him ground pounding meteors to his advantage for unlocking doors)

Durability If one thing is for sure it's That Mario can take a hit

In Super Mario Galaxy he has the durablitiy to be launched at high speeds from planet to planet, withstand the heat from magma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_O5g6ry-Cw
and ground pound from amazing heights while taking minimal damage.
Dealing with gravity multiple times earth's gravity.
Taking Banzai Bills and receiving minimal damage.

Speed- Something I see Mario constantly underrated for is his speed

In SMB3 he was dodging canonballs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAR-Pr3Niv4

In SMG 1 and 2 he traveled the universe twice which shows how much land he covers in a short time.

SMG 1 and 2 he outruns and uses heat seeking projectiles to his advantage

also he can run up walls and such (SM64 and SMW)

Abilities- If there is one thing that's a trademark besides his jump it's Mario's Power-ups he has many ranging from flying to turning invisible to turning Metal,being able to use fire,Ice, and Thunder, but outside of these theres one more thing and that is Star Power.
With Star Power Mario is able to make power-ups (Bowser's inside story) power a star ship for flight (SMG 2) break barriers (SM64) and so on. The Star Power is also used to create planets and galaxies.

It's quite clear Mario is an expert on this stuff given how he uses it. and there is also a good canon explanation too.

"The Star Children (Star Child) are seven babies that possess, as Kamek puts it in Yoshi's Island DS, "an extraordinary amount of power." In the game, Bowser travels back in time to steal the stars from these children to take over the universe"

Enemies- Outside of the Paper Mario games Mario has beaten some quite fearsome enemies

Bowser(obviously)

Cackletta who fused with Bowser and was a threat to the entire kingdom.

Fawful on 2 occasions the 2nd being where he absorbed some of the Dark Star's Power which at full engulfed the entire Mushroom Kingdom in darkness.

Culex- Who claimed to be anti matter and matter and had his own dimension where he needed to be sealed.

In Conclusion I believe although the Mario games don't emphasize on his canon he does have quite a bit of Canonical Power. ^_^

Get your hands on Super Mario RPG. It contains slight shape shifting, what in my experience has proven to be Mario's best jumping feat outside of possibly Brawl, and other feats.

Super Mario RPG is my favorite Mario game along with SMB 3 I just didn't think his jumping feats needed to be stated minus the 2 feats which are A. where he jumped off bowser's head in the beginning of the game and B where he jumped a mountain.

Oh and idk how shape shifting will help him tbh since he used it for imitations to tell stories xD

Kosmic King
My favourites are Super Mario World 2: Yosh's Island and Super MArio RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Super Mario World 1 is good but VERY overrated.

XanatosForever
I would argue, but I'm biased because the original SMW was my very first video game, and boy did I love the crap out of it. I'm pretty darn sure I still have it, too. mmm

Best Mario game is Mario is Missing.

Fo rell.
