Since his eyes are on the side of his head he should only be able to see the perimeter of his eye sockets, if any light managed to reach them. Mario is blind :(

Mario passes in front of things like backgrounds and similar. Since there is a notion of over/under, he lives in a two dimensional world.[1]

What proof do you have that he isn't displacing the supposed "background" like a bacteria moving in a petri dish?

Calvinball rules say the volume of bushes, as a liquid, aren't compressible. Pixels are not moved, outline is overlaid by the body without surrounding the body.

Then Mario is above them during the transmorgrificalization.
