Which Mario would that be, MarioBros, SuperMarioBros, SuperMarioBros2,
SuperMarioBros3, SuperMarioLand, SuperMarioLand2, SuperMarioWorld,
YoshisIsland, YoshisIsland2, Mario64, MarioSunshine?

There are lots of Mario games out there and none really shares very
much with the former release beside some basic elements (ie. bonus
blocks, coins), stuff like Yoshi, Cape, Water-Pistol, Racoon,
Hammer-Suit, Bunny-Helmet and such are very different from game to
game (ie. not reused at all). So there really isn't very much 'stick
to mario-like behaviour' that we could do, since there simply isn't
one type of Mario behaviour out there.

And beside that Tux really needs some kind of uniq gameplay detail on
which one could build other stuff (ie. Yoshi in MarioWorld, Suits in
MarioBros3, different characters in MarioBros2, Yoshi in
YoshisIsland). A magic system could be such a little detail on which
to base other stuff, the sliding behaviour could be another such
little detail.
