MarioSMB by Shazzo, edited by DeluxeGamer705
From: Super Mario
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may be wondering, what is this version of the iconic plumber? Well, it is a version created by Shazzo in 2007.
It was a spriteswap of a bad version of Axel Stone, known as "CvS Axel", made by Actarus, which was already terrible.
This spriteswap, however, is pretty decent in my opinion. However, I didn't like how this Mario's attacks were kinda 
overpowered, and some attacks could drain a lot of opponent's HP. One of his hypers could drain ALL of the opponent's HP!
So, I felt like this character should be edited, so I came up with an idea to edit this character! I also nerfed his
attack and defence stats so that he could not be a cheap character.

This version was made for a never-finished game Super Mugen Bros.. This version was also called "SMBZ Mario" by 
many people, despite the fact that this version is NOT based on his apperance in Super Mario Bros. Z at all.
