User blog:Paleomario66/Mario's Higher-End feats: Outliers or not?

Introductions
The Super Mario Bros. franchise is known for being amazingly inconsistent in terms of feats, especially since Miyamoto considers the cast as a "troupe of actors", taking different roles in different games as with Popeye. Their power often varies just as much as their roles do. The Tier 4 feats are commonly accepted on most wikis, and sometimes the Tier 3 ones are. However, most of the time, the Tier 2 feats in the franchise are rejected, considered outliers, or decided to be illogical from a powerscaling perspective (ex: Mario defeating Grand Star Bowser or Dreamy Bowser). There are plenty of feats ranging from Star level or lower, to Multiverse level (some arguments place them even higher than that).

Before I start this blog, I will not be taking into account String Theory Soup or the possibility of the Dream Depot being 5-D to infinite-dimensional, as those two ideas are far too controversial. What I will be addressing are the well-known Tier 3/2 feats, such as Mario defeating SMG Bowser, Grand Star Bowser, and Dreamy Bowser, as well as some lesser-known ones like him defeating Black Bowser.
