Ok, replying just to say few things.

1) If you don't know how to use fallacies, don't use them at all. I know you never talked about Luma, that's what i also stated in my comment, i was just TALKING about it. I never committed any fallacy, i was just giving another argument, even if it was out of topic, i was just stating something to further show my point of views, which is something that i can do.

2) The Mariowiki is a great source as it basically takes the things from the games. If you played Super Mario Galaxy or watched a gameplay of it you'd know that they are the same. Green Stars are basically Power Stars. I don't need other proof. They are rare Power Stars, and they act like Power Stars and all that stuff. Here, you can blatantly see that a Power Star has a green question mark (showing that the Green Power Star that needs to be collected is still a Power Star) as, again, it is a Power Star that Mario needs to collect, here you see Luigi telling Mario he found a green-colored Power Star. Not to mention that both Power Stars and Green Stars are referred as "Stars" in both Super Mario Galaxy games, and Green Power Stars, just like Power Stars, are the source of accessing to other levels in SMG2 (Power Stars are the energy that let Mario's Starship move, and Green Stars can be used for that energy as well, showing that both stars act in the same way, which MAY be a valid reason to say they are the same even if we ignore all the other proof i showed above).

3) Show me proof that Mario needs amps/outsmarts them. You are literally telling me to show proof despite the fact that you didn't show any at all. In the RPGs, it's pretty solid that Mario doesn't outsmart Bowser, the only RPG game where Mario doesn't exactly fights Bowser is Legend of the Seven Stars, the example you provided. In Super Mario 64, he can beat the first boss without any amp, showing that even without amps he can beat characters that are empowered by Power Stars. In Super Mario 3D World, Mario can defeat characters empowered by Green Stars without any kind of amps. In the Galaxy games, he can beat characters empowered by Power Stars and Grand Stars without any kind of amp, no matter if he attacks with a Ground Pound or with the Star Spin. There aren't many times Mario needs to outsmart Bowser (with the exception of the 2D Platformers and Mario Sunshine, but, in those very games, Mario casually god-stomps powerful enemies that, while for sure aren't as strong as Bowser, are pretty strong and are generally comparable to most of the cast, such as the Koopalings or in Mario Sunshine even High-Tier bosses like King Boo or Petey Piranha). Outside of those games, Mario beats Bowser on phisical fights in the RPGs, in the Paper Mario games and in a few Mario Party games. '''Mario doesn't struggle against base Bowser. Also, your logic is pretty flawed. Just because Mario outsmarts him doesn't mean he struggles against him ''when in many other games Mario can CONSISTENTLY beat him and most importantly he can also beat AMPED versions of him. ''In fact, it's more consistent that Mario beats amped versions of Bowser than when he beats base versions of him, and that DOESN'T disprove anything. Your argument doesn't disprove anything. Mario outsmarting him is just the overall way of defeating Bowser in the 2D Platformers. It's most likely that overall Nintendo made the "Mario defeats Bowser via traps" the most recurrent way of defeating him, however that is the case ONLY for the 2D Platformers (on a side note, fun fact, the total number of the 2D Platformers is only 10 games if we don't take into accoutn Super Mario Land since Mario doesn't fight Bowser there, so it's FAR more consistent that Mario beats Bowser in a phisical fight rather than a platformer) which makes sense if you think about it, it is a Platformer after all and the purpose is platforming. Mario defeated base Bowser many times, and if we take into account all the times he defeated beings around Bowser's level of power, that just becomes more consistent. And if we take into account all the times Mario defeated amped versions of him, that becomes even more consistent. '''

4) Now that sounds like an excuse. I don't think i need to show proof for the Grand Stars being superior to Power Stars. A Grand Star is an advanced version of a Power Star. A Grand Star was the power source of Bowser's Galaxy reactor, which as you know, is a universal threat. Then again, sure, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, upon its collapse, consumed the universe without the Grand Star, however the Grand Star was still its power source and the Galaxy Reactor, even before its collapse, was described as a universal threat.

But, anyhow, this time i'm dropping this for real. No matter if you reply back or if i still have something to show or even to disprove what you said, i won't comment here. Again not just because i'm a person that can become pretty annoying in these circumstances, but also because i don't want to waste my time here. For this reason, i'll ask Wither to block me for a few months.
