5 characters you didn't know you could fight as on WWE 2K17

#3 Super Mario

Mario takes apart an opponent at Payback

The Super Mario and Luigi CAWs have become a “WWE 2K” series tradition, with many versions of the two Nintendo heroes cropping up with the launch of each instalment of the 2K series.

This year’s Super Mario CAW, with his signature blue and red outfit, has been a huge hit amongst players as well, with downloads numbering in thousands.

Super Mario might come across as a bit of a softie with an overall rating of 75 but is certainly a formidable wrestler who uses a deadly Samoan Driver and Arm Wrench clothesline to finish off his opponents.

He may lack in in-ring abilities with zero special skills, but makes up for it because, well, he is Super Mario.

The popularity of the Super Mario character remains sky high and has multiple versions although Nintendo would probably prefer its characters be played in their own games, like the Super Smash Bros, instead of WWE 2K17.
