It's indeed confusing, speaking that no SMG feats were used for the actual Death Battle, with the exception of Bowser (Survived the Surface of a Star, survived a supernova, and withstood a black hole). And any Mario Party feats used in the show was only about survival of those involved, like Luigi winning Mario Party by doing abusolutely nothing, and Wario surviving 15 Mario Parties.

Here is an example: In Mario Party 6, there is a minigame called ​​​​​​​"Black Hole Boogie", in which Mario has to swim away from a black hole in the middle of space to avoid getting sucked. In Mario vs. Sonic (2018), Sonic was also shown outrunning a black hole for about 30, a feat requiring Sonic to move at least 30% of the speed of light. Since Mario also accomplished a similar feat, Mario's speed should be on par with Sonic, but this was never mentioned. I think that SMG and MP are pretty loose when it comes to canonicity.
