1. Actually, correction, they were protected from the Supermassive Black Hole, not the hypernova.

2. Paper Mario can beat him. There, I told you. And it's the truth.

3. That's a Game Mechanic. Of course the game needs to be challenging, cause if Mario's cutscene feats were in the game, the game would never sell for Mario trampling the game so incredibly bad. Also, Sonic tanked an artificial black hole, the weakest in existence, and was still knocked unconscious, while Mario in the hypernova cutscene was perfectly fine afterwards.

4. It's not necessarily a pity power-up, cause you can play as him in New Super Mario Bros. 2.

5. Cool, and I must say, with what I said means Base form Mario could probably take down Base form Sonic.

6. Still, they're both technically non-canon, cause neither Mario or Sonic do what they do. Even if he's an expansion, I'd only see it fair to include Paper Mario abilities.
