Summary
Semi-sequel to the Mario Multipliers Project. I am going to try and list all of Mario's close combat skills from across the series.

Punches
Basics

Mario's most basic form of combat is punches. He throws out a quick punch for good damage.
 * Example 1
 * In Mario Party 8's Punch a Bunch minigame, Mario shows some good old punching. He can land a harder hit by waiting for his fist to rear all the way back.
 * Example 2
 * Yeah, SM64's punching. Nothing special other than an example.

Uppercuts
 * Example 1
 * Mario does a jab and then follow it up with a nice uppercut.
 * Example 2
 * Mario can uppercut and bash enemies from below with a rising jump attack.

There's not much else to say. Mario has more examples of him punching, but they just fall in to these two categories.
