Who is the Superest Mario of them all? Vote now in the Tuesday Tussle! [Group Stage Part 6 of 8]

Who is the most Super of all the Marios? It's crazy, I know, but

r/Nintendo has been here for 12 years and still we haven't come to a consensus. Something must be done! The Tuesday Tussle is our weekly series where we determine which of the 56 Mario forms… power-ups… transformations… however or whatever you call them – is the greatest.

We have an initial Group Stage comprised of 14 groups of 4 before we go into ye olde Double Elimination Tournament. The list of Marios came from the Super Mario Wiki, the definitive source of all Mario information and the final word, the highest authority, which none of us shall question.
