Upon rewatch of the Mario Movie, I really gotta wonder how long the Mario Bros were in the Mushroom Kingdom for.

They get sucked through the pipe past sundown Brooklyn time, which depending on the season is like 8-9 o’clock, Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom in the day time, maybe late afternoon, and spends the rest of the day through the night into the morning on Peach’s Mario Maker level, travels all the next day, sleeps in a Fire Flower field for the night, arrives at the Kong Kingdom mid the next day, leaves the Kong Kingdom on Karts around sunset, which turns to night as they are ambushed, leading to Mario and DK spending the entire night inside an eel only breaking out early the next morning, just to make it barely in time to Peach and Bowser’s wedding sometime around noon, and go back through the pipe to have it be early morning in Brooklyn with the rest of the Mario family carrying on with breakfast as usual.

So they spend 3 Days in the Mushroom Kingdom, but only like 12 hours of Brooklyn time seems to have passed.

#Mario Movie #Just. Ya know. Think thonkin #I had this thought the first time I watched the movie but I didn't have the thing memorized enough to be confident in my time calls #The passage of time in the movie btw is REALLY cool especially during the kart scene because it's Sunset to Darkness #So you can actually see the light fade and stars start to pop in here and there until it's fully night #Which is SO cool and easy to miss in that scene because a LOT is happening kfgdjkdfgk #I assume the Bros hadn't been gone 3 real world days for two reasons;#1. The Mario family is very close knit and I feel like they'd be a lot less Business as Usual if Mario and Luigi went missing #And 2. The time wouldn't sync up #8pm to Noon-ish to 8am to Noon doesn't make a lot of sense?#The wedding is in broad daylight btw I DID check multiple times to be absolutely sure I was right #Because there's a lot of Fairy Lights in that scene that are really bright like the Kart headlights #And there's a sort of Reddish/Pinkish tint to the bottom of the sky which is usually Sunset #But then you remember we're having a wedding surrounded by lava and Bowser's Castle takes a big storm cloud everywhere #So I use Mario and DK's romp through Toad Town instead as time referance #And yeah it's Noon #So that's cool actually #So it's? 4 hours Brooklyn to 24 Mushroom Kingdom? Implying the Mushroom Kingdom days ARE 24 hours long even #This is the kinda shit my Mario S/I is insane about btw like if I was in the Mario universe this would be question number 1 for sure #Sorry for the big block of text that this post became I couldn't. I couldn't think of a better way to format it #Without getting an annoying long post #Unrelated did Luigi land in the Badlands at Night or is the Badlands just constantly covered in Smog from the lava?#Because it'd be kinda cool if the Koopa Kingdom was on the opposite Time Zone as the Mushroom Kingdom #but that's just speculation at that point
