Mario's voice lines are from Mario Striker Football, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario.exe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRyc_lt5fS0)

I played with anticipation when the head goes up.
The hat and mustache shake, those are secondary animation that put emphasis on Mario's speed

the last poses gives charisma, I added also camera shake and inertia to Mario to make the impact even stronger.

The inspiration was from Mario's arrival in mario Striker Football
