E's Edges

Projectile: The bazooka is clearly outclassed here, Mario can both use his fire to burn and negate the projectiles and doesn't have the problem of limited ammo. EDGE: Mario

Primary Melee:  Yeah Crash may be stronger than Mario in raw strength but the hammer has been shown to stand up to wat more than Crash can dish out EDGE: Mario

Smash attack:  Both of them have long recovery times if they miss and the startup leaves them vounerable EDGE: EVEN

Kick Attack: Mario's has more of an area to the attack whereas Crash's is more of a straight line, somthing that somone with mario's agility would have little trouble dodging EDGE: MArio

One Use: Crash's makes him invincible but only lasts for a time, The mushroom gives Mario sort of like a sheild  that allows him to take an extra hit and since it seems that The mask does not up Crash's speed mario should be able to run circles around crash until it wears off EDGE: Mario

Explosive: the bomb om despite what my misinformed fellow wikia goers beleive are not that large and pack a fairly powerful punch when compared to the TNT boxes EDGE Mario

Throwing Weapon: Green shells are easily the weakest weapon in the entirety of the mario series and the bowling bomb explodes EDGE Crash

Flying: The jetpack doesn't really need any time to start up
