Mario

Super Mario, is one of The Seven Star Children destined to do many great things. And you know what, he's lived up to that lofty destiny. He's saved the Mushroom Kingdom, beat Bowser, overcame GODS. And Still doesn't get any from his cake baking girlfriend. Mario is brave, courageous, and fearless. Jumping into battle whenever he is needed. Mario is also extremely kind, going to any lengths to help anybody who needs him.

Mario is best known for his legendary jumping abilities. Easily leaping three to five times his height. Thats his stationary jump height, when moving he can clear not only his standard jump height. But also jump fifteen to twenty feet with ease. While Mario may be best known for his jumping abilities, he is also a master acrobat. Wall Jumping, triple jumping, tight rope walking, flipping, diving, rolling all with speed and fluidity far beyond human capabilities. He is also has super strength, lifting and throwing, the iron King Bob-Omb, creating minor earth quakes with his ground pounds, and hammer smashes. And while he may lack formal training, he has a huge amount of experience. Being in over fifty games most of which have him combating enemies in one form or another, yes I'm looking at you EVERY OTHER RACER IN MARIO KART. He also has a large range of close combat moves, ranging from the jump punch, and the twisting Mario tornado, and his classic three hit combo.

While may be a physical tank, his best weapons are in fact his Power Ups. These range from the classic Fire Flower, which enables Mario to toss fire balls. The Starman, which envelops Mario in a golden aura increasing his speed and making him invulnerable. His Stone tanooki suit, a suit that allows Mario to glide and become a stone statue. The Koopa Suit, which allows Mario to wear a shell and slid at high speeds, although he sacrifices control being only able to jump. And finally we have the Mario and Luigi hammers, large iron hammers which Mario uses to bash his opponents into oblivion.

For all his strengths, Mario is not a thinker. He prefers a completely straight forward, brawling style smashing and dashing, his enemies. His power ups lack durability disappearing after one solid strike. He's good at a lot of things, but unlike his brother and Donkey Kong. Who are virtually perfect in certain areas. Mario is just good at a lot of things.

But Watch out for this portly plumber, because the face of gaming might just crush his opponent into oblivion.

Applejack

AJ is a farm girl, born and raised in Ponyville. She is the premier applebucker for her family farm Sweet Apple Acres. its heavily implied that her mother and father died, orphaning her, her brother Big Mac, and little sister Applebloom. She's a kind hearted girl, and being The Element of Honesty. She struggles with deceit, even choosing brutal honesty over white lies. She has shown to be stubborn, choosing the exhaust herself, rather then asking for help.

Applejack is best known for super strength, while not being the strongest character in MLP. That would be her brother Big Macintosh, she is easily the strongest of the main cast. Her bucking kicks easily bend trees, and even when exhausted she can buck a tree hard enough to drop a trees worth of apples into neat baskets. AJ has shown enough strength to move a bus full of ponies with a single mighty kick. She is also extremely athletic, front hoof stands, and being extremely quick runner, out running Rainbow Dash. Although she isn't as fast as her earth pony counterpart Pinkie. She is extremely proficient with the lasso, swinging complex twist and twirls, while bouncing from hoof to hoof. Combine that with her incredible strength, and she is capable of powerful grabs and throws. But arguably her strongest skill is her stamina. She has undoubtedly the largest gas tanks of her friends working days and nights before finally succumbing to exhaustion and asking for help. Combine her insane gas tank with her stubborn nature, and what we get is pony with indomitable will power.

Applejack weakness, she's the least defined of the entire Mane 6, she's intelligent, but so is Rarity, and Twilight. So she's good with her arsenal, so is the other Mane 6 cast members. Her stories don't really expand on her abilities but rather falls back on the family story line. She's just normal, this is extenuated by the insanity of her friends. Look at them, the fastest pegasi, the insane party pony, personal student of Celestia, rage fuelled kindness.

But for all that AJ might just prove that skill beats arsenal.

AND WITH THAT THE COMBATANTS ARE SET ITS TIME FOR A DEATHBATTLE

A Blonde pony walked towards her barn, her brown cowboy hat blowing in the wind. Three apples where proudly shown on her rump, she picked up a roll of rope and bound it tightly around her tail.

A Bright gold flash drew her eyes to the sky, she made out a twisting red and green mass, about a hundred feet in the air the mass blew apart. A Green mass flew towards the Everfree forest. But the red mass suddenly shifted directions and arced straight towards Sweet Apple Acres.

As the figure grew closer she made out blue overalls, a bright red long sleeve shirt, and a bulbous nose. Suddenly the figure tucked into a ball and did a quadruple front flip before landing with a bang. Applejack glared at the man his neatly trimmed mustache clear as day now. He wore white gloves and brown shoes, and his blue eyes gave almost an tangible gleam of joy. He dusted off his bright red cap, and M middle of side facing her.

"Howdy" She greeted.

"Let's-a-go" Mario proclaimed loudly.

FIGHT

Mario ran into action. He threw a powerful straight right, which AJ took,then dodge his left hook. She narrowly avoided a jump straight kick. She back pedalled two steps, allowing the plumber to charge straight into a powerful buck to the enter of his chest. The force of which threw Mario twenty, cleaving threw a corral fence as he did. "Mama Mia" He groaned loudly.

Mario got to his feet, and dug quickly into the front of his overall, Applejack charged at the plumber quickly. Suddenly he pulled out a large black mallet, AJ attempted to stop "GONG!" Applejack's eyes where wide, the hammer was smashed atop her head. AJ felt her vision began to fade. Darkness started to over take her. 'NO' Her legs locked, and her eyes snapped. AJ Swung two jabs, stumbling Mario. Mario did a back flip dodging a wild bucking kick by Applejack. Mario land and charged the pony, his hammer at the ready. Applejack jumped back, narrowly avoiding a wide arcing swing. The earth shook underneath the two enemies.

AJ flying tackled Mario, the two stumbled across the dirty corral. The two flew apart, Mario clawed at wildly, grabbing the blonde tail. He started swinging her in a circle "So long pony" Mario hollered releasing the blonde earth pony. AJ flew thirty feet in a wide arc, she smashed face first into her barn.

"Wahoo" Applejack narrowly avoided a crushing landing from a high jump. AJ bound away from Mario quickly. She twirled her tail quickly, sending her lasso high into the air. But the plumber quickly reacted long jumping towards her. Mid jump he swung his hammer high above his head. AJ Flicked her lasso, which bound itself around the head of the hammer. With a tug of her tail she sent the hammer flying into the air. Mario landed and instantly dove into a roll, nearly closing gap the pony had.

"Taste of your own medicine partner" Applejack dropped the hammer down on top of. Mario's head with a loud "Crack!"

"Owwwwschie" Mario screamed holding his head, running in a small circle.

Suddenly Mario stopped running and dug into his overall "Oh no you don't" AJ swung the hammer down on Mario. But the plumber rolled forward, dodging the hammer and pulling out a blue shell. Instantly the plumber was surrounded by a diamond hard blue shell. "So what's that suppose to do?" AJ asked curiously. Mario ran at Applejack, the pony dropped swung the hammer at Mario quickly. The plumber gave a loud "Wahoo" as he dove into his shell. The black hammer banged uselessly off the Koopa shell. "Bang!" Applejack was smashed in the chin, she side stepped a second richotetting shell missile. "hack" She coughed when the shell buried itself in her stomach before bouncing away. She loosened the death grip her lasso had on the plumbers hammer. And jumped over the rocketing blue missile. Mario popped out of his shell, and delivered a powerful jumping. Coins poured out of the ponies body, and the force of the punch sent her high into the air.

She threw her tail, lassoing Mario around the chest. She landed on the ground, and with a sharp tug swung Mario above her head. "Oh nooooooo!" AJ tossed Mario, ploughing him straight through her barn wall. Mario rolled to a stop groaning "Mama Mia" AJ charged straight at the man. Her lasso binding itself on her tail. Mario plucked a deep grey leaf from his overalls. His body was covered by a thick brown fur, and a small red bandana was wrapped around his neck.

AJ rushed Mario, and then whipped around and bucked "Crack!" Applejack cried out in pain. Her left hind leg was screaming in agony. She snapped her eye onto the statue, it had its hand up as if to say stop. In a flash the statue became, AJ didn't have time to react before being slammed by Mario's tail. He swung a lightning fast jab, jab, kick combo, throwing AJ into one of the barn stalls. Mario did a side flip then kicked off the wall, AJ looked up saw Mario glide over her head. Suddenly he became a statue "No". She rolled to left, and the statue smashed straight into the ground. With a sharp toss of her lasso. Mario became a human and his neck was instantly wrung by the lasso binding itself tightly.

AJ moved her tail quickly, Mario orbited her. His body cleaved through stall dividers, the power of the Stone Tanooki suit fleeing his body. "Take this!" AJ tossed Mario across the barn, smashing back first into the barns door. Mario looked up, and was instantly bucked in his bulbous nose, punching him straight through the doors.

Mario rolled to his feet, shaking cobs webs out of his head. "Oh my" Applejack's Lasso rocketed at Mario, but the plumber was to quick avoiding her wild grappling attempts. Mario shoved his hand into the middle of overalls. 'Gotta stop him' Was Applejacks's only thought. She twirled her lasso, and with a sharp twitch of her tail the lasso shot straight at Mario. The plumber did a back flip, the lasso went between his legs. He pulled out an orange flower, and suddenly his overalls shifted from dark blue to bright red, his red shirt changed from red to white, and finally his hat became white with a bright red M on it.

Mario Grabbed the lasso with his left, then with his right threw a bright red fire ball. The Lasso ignited, racing straight Applejack. The pulled the burning rope from her tail just in the nick of time to avoiding getting burned. Suddenly a ball of flames hit her in the snout followed closely by another. A Wave of flame balls hit the earth pony dead on, stumbling her back. She could feel the burns start adding up as she stumbled away from the plumber. The Flames abruptly stopped nailing her her. She looked up, and watched as Mario pulled a bright gold star from inside his overalls.

Mario's body erupted into a brilliantly rainbow of colours. He charged straight at AJ, easily twice as fast as normal. He punched her across the chin leaving a deep searing burn. And then with all his might he shoulder tackled her. And the Pony didn't even scream before she was a fine red mist. Mario slid to a stop, in the barn. He collapsed onto his butt, breathing deeply. "Yippee" He bellowed loudly.

WINNER

This was an close fight. BUT Mario was able to completely negate all of Applejack's strengths. AJ is super strong, but Mario is both super strong and has fighting talent. She's stubborn, Mario is durable. Applejack is athletic, but Mario is both athletic AND acrobatic. Meaning he could control the fight better. really the only thing she had that was able to counter Mario, was her lassoing skills. But even Mario's powerups would eventually find the winning combo against that.

Finally Mario just has more experience, he's been fighting since he was a child. As shown in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. Not only that but he's beaten pretty apocalyptic enemies. Whereas AJ probably has the most experience of the Mane Six, because it's heavily implied she's fought things from the Everfree forest, who found their way to Sweet Apple a Acres. But the things in the Everfree Forest are things Mario deals with on a pretty much daily.

NEXT TIME

A White Unicorn mare had her nose stuck. She watched as a figures sword suddenly came to the light. It was bright blue and glinted the pale. "A Diamond sword" She sighed dramatically "What a waste of such gorgeous gem"
