In general, you'd want to avoid crossing the kind of man who can suit up and torch you with fireballs on a whim. Mario may appear to be approachable and forgiving, but he can drop the internationally family-friendly attitude lickity split if you want to get nasty. He's been throwing down tournament style since '99 in Smash Bros. games, so if you thought he was just a fragile painter and subdued ethnic impersonator, think again: Those super fists are brick-hardened, and don't bode well with faces.
