Guns, baseball bats, violent, bloodthirsty Pokémon, and so on and so forth. But mostly guns.
It's the Smash Club Match of the Century: Mario VS. Princess Peach
Mario's Fight Club-esque escapades continue in the very much gritty and very much violent Mario Warfare's fifth episode, in which he goes up against a desperate and very pissed off Peach, fleeing her kingdom and hiding from Bowser in the Smash Club.

The Mario Warfare series continues after a few months rest/preparation. It continues to be the best place to see Mushroom Kingdom characters fighting with barrels and assault rifles.

Here's the second episode of fan series Mario Warfare, which turns the Mushroom Kingdom into something a little more Call of Duty.
