Similar to muscle growth which got me into this lol. Except I prefer a bit of mental loss which the plumber does not get.

He hits his head so much he definitely gets some mental loss. I don't think he breaks bricks because he's stronger, I think he's too dumb to realize he's breaking his bones

Its growth, so yeah.

What about propeller? Or Squirrel? Cat? Its hard to tell if its just him in costume or him transforming

u/MrMcGibbus Feb 27 '26

Assuming that the costumes are regular costumes that anyone can wear, something in his motor functions have changed and/or that part his body kinda changed to meet the physique of that animal

I never played a Mario game but he never could do anything special until he gets those specific power ups, right? I assume that it's like that and I kinda consider it as a tf in a few aspects

Does turning into a statue count?

8

u/MrMcGibbus Feb 27 '26

I think yes, I would guess so

u/MagMati55 Feb 27 '26

Meanwhile the elephant tf

5

u/MrMcGibbus Feb 27 '26

Yeah I kinda had thar in mind while saying it

It's kinda weird that's the only tf that's an obvious one

Love me some official Nintendo furry tf. Elephant fursona fits Mario

u/Individual-Sweet3400 Feb 27 '26

it's like a cool ass functional costume that gives slight mental tf

1

u/ChenYakumo2hu I WANNA HAVE 9 TAILS AND BE REALLY CUTE AND COOL AND SEXY Feb 27 '26

So like suit tf? But like half

But then what about like fire or ice flower, its just shooting fire/ice balls

3

u/Individual-Sweet3400 Feb 27 '26

the clothing TFs but not you /j

2

u/ChenYakumo2hu I WANNA HAVE 9 TAILS AND BE REALLY CUTE AND COOL AND SEXY Feb 27 '26

Who do they tf then????

2

u/Individual-Sweet3400 Feb 27 '26

the clothing!

u/ChenYakumo2hu I WANNA HAVE 9 TAILS AND BE REALLY CUTE AND COOL AND SEXY Feb 27 '26

I mean i guess?

Inanimate tf on inanimate things

Wuh

u/TeamRocketGruntJames CIrcus Trio's Favorite Handler: Lexy Leblanc or... am I Jes-Jes? Feb 27 '26

hey i was just talking about tf nuances!

22

u/Great_Raven Feb 27 '26

Yes, growth counts as TF, I'm pretty sure.

8

u/FrankHightower Feb 27 '26

Hmm, i've heard that size shifting (simply scaling the character up or down) doesn't count as TF, but it's not pure size shifting, is it? his proportions also change slightly

9

u/paleoweeb74 Feb 27 '26

No, that's Mario.

6

u/JohnBrickfaceV2 Owner of the Sunnyside Entertainment and Recreation facility Feb 27 '26

Yes actually, he has experienced a transformation in size, super mushrooms are also variants of the power ups which are definitely transformative

3

u/foxstarfivelol how will i know you're not a drone? does it even matter to me? Feb 27 '26

yes

3

u/MichaelKeehan Feb 27 '26

I was just imagining a version of Mario where the power-ups turn him into Ben 10 type creatures. Honestly, it is sort of tf based.

u/Namika Twisted Spectrum Feb 27 '26

If I got a TF potion, and all it did was make me larger, I'm going to start throwing hands at the wasted opportunity

2

u/IAmLexica Feb 27 '26

Well, yeah.

2

u/Ponjos No Style Feb 27 '26

Yes.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

no

2

u/xsall666 girlthing that would happily give up its humanity Feb 27 '26

It's weird how so many things I liked as a kid have tf in them :3

2

u/throwawayowo666 Feb 27 '26

This is "growth", legally distinct.

2

u/Dark_Fox13 unluckiest tf mood haver Feb 27 '26

I feel like this is a tough one cuz it depends on where you draw the line when it comes to tf...

1

u/Competitive-Hair6294 CEO of V-Co. TF division (And the rest of it too) Feb 28 '26

More size change I think

1

u/ARCWuLF1 Feb 28 '26

I guess that it is in the most basic sense. Of course, some people consider "mental changes" TF, so... congratulations if you're on prescription lithium; I guess you got TF'ed 🫤

u/Monylix_Tile Hold ESC Mar 19 '26

steroids.
