" SMG: Utter false analogy — Mario is amped by a Luma in both SMG games; it makes sense for him to stomp Bowser. And Mario in most platformers has to outsmart Bowser in order to win. "

I'm not sure about this. Do you have proof to back up what you said? The Luma, as seen in SMG2, enveloped Mario in a light aura, which allows Mario to do the Star Spin attack. There's no proof the luma gives Mario a better attack potency, and there is nothing that says that Mario got a physical amp. Sure, it says "power" (which could refer to either Star Spin or Attack Power, so yeah), but it says "new" as well, and Mario wasn't able to do the Star Spin before the luma became "part of him".

And the Star Spin isn't the only method of attack in SMG. Mario can damage final bossess empowered by Grand Stars with ground pounds as well.
