Can you be more specific about your problem? 

-for shooting, use collison detection from your bullet to the target, which depends on the shape of both. look at Collison  Detection Tutorial.
-for mario, you need to look at the Jump Tutorial.

Also, remember that ppl cant do your work for you.

It's been a while since I've done turing but Objects would be useful for this.  I'm not sure how great objects in Turing are but I know it's possible so look up OOP in Turing.  It might help your "major" project a lot.  Aside from that, there are many ways to do it but efficiency is key in all programs.  Look up collision detection for sure and what kind of bullet is it?  Is it a single dot bullet (in this case whatdotcolour is very useful).
