Mario vs Snorlax: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Mario
“Jumpman” · Nintendo · 1981 · about 5′1″ (155 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
Nintendo’s mascot plumber, first seen jumping barrels in Donkey Kong. Has stomped more turtles than anyone alive and can lift Bowser by the tail.
Snorlax
“The Sleeping Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 6′11″ (210 cm), 1014 lb (460 kg)
Normal-type Pokémon that eats around 400 kg of food a day and then falls asleep, often in the middle of a road. Its stomach can digest anything, even mould.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Snorlax by DQ. Snorlax naps through round one, blocking the ring like a road in Kanto. Mario triple-jumps off the ropes and ground-pounds its belly, a stomp so illegal the referee disqualifies him. Snorlax wins by DQ, still asleep, and never notices.
Fair fight? Legalise stomping for Mario and play a Poké Flute at every bell, so Snorlax is actually awake to feel the jumps and fight back.
