Your initial assumption is wrong, this is what Super Mario is all about.

So the only recquirment is that Mario eats a mushrum to grow bigger? I would still argue that it's the suffix of "Brothers" that matters since it was Mario Bros. that introduced Mario and Luigi by their full names and most of their abilities to the world.

Now you are (too) drunk.

The suffix "Bros." doesn't mean much, because Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. have barely anything in common. Mario Bros. has no power-ups, no run button, no mid-air control. You cannot jump on enemies without dying (unless they have already been flipped over). There is no actual game world, it's just the same stage layout with variations over and over again. Saying that Mario Bros. introduced most of Mario and Luigi's abilities is factually wrong.

Without a mushroom for Mario to touch, how can you know that Mario or Luigi in Mario Bros wouldn't have become Super?

It was their training ground for the Mushroom Kingdom and is probably the reason why Peach hired them. That and the fact she gets two heroes instead of one.

Superman's powers don't work under a red sun but he is still Superman.
