The thing with Mario is I think if he was still the dude who was average, but did so in a way where he had a bit less lifting and movement speed and a bit more jumping he would actually be worth using.

I think Toadstool and Luigi overkill the ease in jumping where even a player who is only slightly good at jumps might actually have an upgrade over the sluggish lifting speed of Luigi and Princess Toadstool, which does actually matter in a lot of places.

He's too close to the Toad end though so for me at least it's pretty much always like "well, why not just use Toad" cause yeah there's not a single jump in the game that I can recall that I can easily make with Mario that I can't easily make with Toad as well.


Mario can make 4-block-high jumps with a running start, something Toad (and Princess) can't do. Those come up a fair bit. It's also much easier for him to jump over Cobrats, for instance, which is notable because "desert stages" are a place where pickup speed matters a bit more than average.

On the other hand, where does Toad's speed actually matter, outside of speedruns? I honestly can't think of any coin collection Mario can't do. Mario's more than fast enough for Birdo. etc.
