Everybody knows how the world's greatest super heroes got their powers, here are a few examples:
Superman (DC): The yellow sun on earth, plus being a kryptonite
Son Goku (Akira Toriyama) : Constant Training, different ways of training , Hyperbolic training
Spiderman (Marvel): Radioactive spider bite
So as we see some of the heroes listed above, they got their respective powers through different ways, but the real question is:
HOW DID THE STAR CHILDREN GET THEIR POWERS!? :
Many would say the fact that they are star children gives them their powers, others would say they got them as they grow up ( training, learning, etc).Do you guys believe The Star Child effect, is the one giving them power? If so, then Mario and the gang would just be normal boring everyday plumbers who can't do anything without being born by the blessing of the stars?
Let's list down the powers for reference,
Their respective powers are: ( i won't list all, just the common ones)
Mario: powerful legs, fire, super strength super jumps ( seen in supermario 64)
Wario: Transformation thru enemy status effects, even greater super strength, Hypnosis
Luigi: Negative Zone, Even greater jumps , fire
Peach: Hearts, Floating capabilities
DK: Greater Super strength, any more to add?
Bowser : Pretty obvious
Yoshi: This one I have no idea, because all the other yoshies seem to do everything the star child yoshi can do
So we see alot of great abilities given to those selected few. inclusive to the star children only? yes maybe, BUT no as well. Why?
The powers of some Marioverse's humans, and non humans that aren't star children:
Toad: Possible reference to super strength as listed in his brawl trophy, his ability to use power ups, including him being able to take out Wario( in Wario's woods).
Kat and Ana: Super strength( Smoothmoves,Warioware Inc), can channel lightning thru their swords ( seen in twisted) , other ninja abilities like super jumping cloning, and such
El Piantissimo: Super speed
Daisy: Super Punch ( although a possible joke), crystal abilities seen in spin offs. ( a curious note: despite Daisy is Peach's cousin, stated in the Mario Kart Wii guide, she does not have the ability to float nor use hearts in battle)
Waluigi: Okay I need help here, What CAN Waluigi do, besides hold a tennis racket?
Captain Syrup: ummm, being a pirate, technologcial genius ( watch her boss fights in Warioland 2)
Well these are some listed above... anyone care too add?
So a simple conclusion:
Starchild : Give Mario, Wario, Peach, etc powers? or No?
or only some powers like the really crazy ones, such as The Wario transforming one, The Float ability of Peach?
Superman (DC): The yellow sun on earth, plus being a kryptonite
Son Goku (Akira Toriyama) : Constant Training, different ways of training , Hyperbolic training
Spiderman (Marvel): Radioactive spider bite
