The verse literally doesn't care if you have them because people in base have beat foes supposedly empowered by them and the scaling in general makes no sense when you really look at it.

Heck, you could do the math on what Mario does to King Bob-Omb and King Whomp, and the results would come out to, at best Wall-level. Definitely not the Star-level everybody places them at.
