Mario Timeline Part 3

Part 2

Super Beginnings Era

Super Mario Bros. Bowser invades the Mushroom Kingdom in conquest. Many Goombas sided with Bowser becoming his minions. While many Toads are turned into blocks, bricks, and horsetail plants by Bowser's magic. Bowser kidnaps Peach to prevent her from using her powers to reverse the spell, and takes the Mushroom Retainers captive. Mario and Luigi arrive in the Mushroom Kingdom after the events of the previous game; and having heard of the Kingdom's plight set out on a journey to rescue the Princess, the Toads, and defeat the evil King Koopa.

Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels Soon after the previous game Bowser kidnaps the Princess again and drags her to a parallel world the Lost Levels. Mario and Luigi set out again to rescue Peach in the Lost Levels where Poison Mushrooms are in abundance.

Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)(1986) Probably not too long after the previous 2 Super Mario Bros. games Bowser kidnaps Peach again. However, having expended his resources and worn out most of his troops in his previous attempts to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom he is limited. This is because the only minions he has at his disposal are Bullet Bills and Lakitus with hammers instead of Spinys. Part of the reason I place it after the last 2 games is because those are the only 2 invasion attempts where Bowser could have expended his resources before Mario had switched to his Modern Outfit. This is because in this game Mario is still wearing his Classic Outfit.

Super Mario Bros 2 USA(Super Mario USA) One night Mario has a dream where the Subcons ask Mario for help in defeating King Wart in the realm of Subcon. The next day while at a picnic with Luigi, Peach, and Toad and having told them about the dream. They end up finding a cave with a stairway leading to a door that leads to Subcon. While there is no exact placement for this game believe it goes around here. This is because while the sprites particularly in All Stars depicts Mario with blue overalls, all the official art of the games has Mario using his Classic Outfit. Also, somehow characters who didn't take part in this adventure know of it, recalling it as a strange dream.

BS Super Mario USA After the events of the previous game Mario and Friends are called back to Subcon again. King Wart is trying to takeover the various dream worlds and collecting up golden Mario statues in each one with his cronies. The art of this game still depicts Mario using his classic outfit. After the defeat of King Wart characters like Birdo and the Shy Guys would leave Subcon using the door from the first game, and begin to live in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Donkey Kong 94 While it was implied to originally have been intended to be the DKA but expanded upon. But due to the chronology, further world building, certain things that probably wouldn't work, in addition to the Classic Outfit being canonized. DK94 more than likely can be considered a separate event. I think it fits well here since Mario has finally dawned his Modern Outfit, Mario is more than likely still living in Big City, Pauline and Mario might still be together, and Mario probably doesn't have to worry about dealing with a recovering Koopa Troop. Donkey Kong Senior and Donkey Kong Junior more than likely decided to come back and give Mario trouble again.

Yoshi Topsy-Turvy(Yoshi's Universal Gravitation) Having worn out the Koopa Troop Bowser takes some Shy Guys who weren't part of SMB and decides to try to conquer another location aka Yoshi's Island. Since the Koopalings don't show up it's probably before Bowser recruited them into his army.(Note yes the Koopalings don't show up in every scheme). Bowser is defeated by Yoshi and swears revenge. Eventually the Koopa Troop would find him and set him him free. This would probably be his motive to go after Yoshi and friends in the future. So… if this game could be placed elsewhere probably before Tetris Attack and not SMB4SMW. This is because the lack of enemies in Bowser has in this game, and the implied amount of time between SMB3 and SMB4SMW.

Game & Watch: Mario the Juggler Mario juggles in this game with some Toad retainers present. The Koopa Troopa in this game doesn't is still on all 4, and Hammer Bros. don't have shoes either. Mario also has his Modern Outfit as well. Due to whose present this is probably the Koopa Troop interacting with Mario bored due to a missing leader.

Super Mario Bros. 3 Bowser now free and with a fully recovered Koopa Troop alongside new minions and having recruited the Koopalings and Boom Boom sets out on another conquest scheme. Bowser and the Koopa Troop go about taking over various lands under of the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach has the Bros. deal with Bowser, and the Bros. swiftly take down the Koopalings. However, during this Bowser kidnaps Peach and the Bros. must rescue her again. Mario has his Modern Outfit of course, and the Koopa Troopas still are on all 4s and Hammer Bros. still don't have shoes. This game is when the Koopalings first make their appearance. This game might have been made into a stage play in universe, or it might not have been.

Dependent Work Permits – Is the U.S. Catching Up with Other Immigration Destinations?

There are many ways in which the U.S. immigration system is lagging behind those of other countries. We still put physical visas in passports – something Australia stopped doing nearly 10 years ago when they converted to a purely electronic visa system. Our immigration system is predominantly paper-based, with limited options for electronic filings, an area where other countries have fully…

"This International Women’s Day we call on all who identify as feminists to engage in the lifelong unlearning of their biases and to be in solidarity with Palestinian women, Sudanese women, Congolese women who are experiencing an ongoing genocide." from The Slow Factory, 08/Mar/2024: caption cont. under images.

In Palestine, more than 9,000 women have been brutally killed by the Israeli Occupation. 63 women killed per day.

In Sudan, 4 million Sudanese women & girls are at risk of sexual violence.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 1 million women have been survivors of sexual violence.

In Turtle Island aka the so called USA, 94% of fatal violence committed again Trans people are committed against Trans women.

This isn’t about the stats, the poverty porn or the constant shock doctrine the West desperately needs in order to be inclusive. This is a call for solidarity and collective action.

Access to feminine hygiene products, bodily autonomy and the access to necessary safe and caring spaces as women are all human rights.

Here is the pdf version of Project 2025. It's long and dry, so here are some talking points for you.

Note the page numbers so you can back yourself up. Most people are not going to read the whole document (because it's awful to read tbh) so you need to be able to defend your critiques.

We don't need false arguments to weaken our entirely correct conviction that Trump is a fascist.

Page 5 "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children... should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered." Translation: Transgender people should be seen as pornographic, and those who make/distribute porn should be imprisoned. Being transgender should be illegal.

Page 94 "Sustain support for Israel." Translation: Continue funding the Palestinian genocide with taxpayer money.

Page 97 "Senior acquisition leaders should design a system that allows decision-makers to stay within the law but bypass unnecessary departmental regulations that are not in the best interest of the government and hamper the acquisition of capabilities that warfighters require." Translation: Reduce workplace safety regulations in the interest of making more money.

Page 103 "Require completion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery the military entrance examination—by all students in schools that receive federal funding." Translation: Children in public schools have to take the military entrance exam. Children in private schools do not.

Page 104 "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service." Translation: Keep trans people out of the military.

Page 155 "Of the utmost urgency is immediately ending CISA’s counter-mis/disinformation efforts... The entirety of the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One." Translation: End FBI's effort to combat disinformation.

Page 246 "Conservatives will thus reward a President who eliminates this tyrannical situation. PBS and NPR do not even bother to run programming that would attract conservatives." Translation: Don't publically fund anything that isn't explicitly right-wing, including children's entertainment.

Page 259 "The next conservative Administration should rescind President Biden’s 2022 Gender Policy. It should remove all references, examples, definitions, photos, and language on USAID websites, in agency publications and policies, and in all agency contracts and grants that include the following terms: 'gender,' 'gender equality,' 'gender equity,' 'gender diverse individuals,' 'gender aware,' 'gender sensitive,' etc. It should also remove references to 'abortion,' 'reproductive health, and 'sexual and reproductive rights'... produces unnecessary consternation and confusion among and even outright bias against men.” Translation: All language related to gender, equality, and sexual rights should be removed from all official USA websites and documents.

Page 260 "PLGHA requires foreign NGOs, as a condition of receiving assistance, to agree not to perform or actively promote abortions as a method of family planning in foreign countries... The new pro-life executive order should apply to foreign NGOs." Translation: American doctors are not allowed to perform abortions domestically or internationally.

Page 285 "The department [of education] is a convenient one-stop shop for the woke education cartel, which—as the COVID era showed—is not particularly concerned with children’s education. Schools should be responsive to parents, rather than to leftist advocates intent on indoctrination—and the more the federal government is involved in education, the less responsive to parents the public schools will be. This department is an example of federal intrusion into a traditionally state and local realm. For the sake of American children, Congress should shutter it and return control of education to the states." Translation: The Department of Education should be eliminated.

Page 302 "Return to the Original Purpose of School Meals. Federal school meals increasingly resemble entitlement programs... To serve students in need and prevent the misuse of taxpayer money, the next Administration should focus on students in need and reject efforts to transform federal school meals into an entitlement program." Translation: Roll back free school lunches to apply to ~185% fewer people than it does currently.

Page 320-322 "In July of that year, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, after Congress reached a consensus that the mistreatment of [B]lack Americans was no longer tolerable and merited a federal response... In 1973, [Congress] passed the Rehabilitation Act, and, in 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act... The next Administration will need a plan to redistribute the various congressionally approved federal education programs across the government, eliminate those that are ineffective or duplicative, and then eliminate the unproductive red tape and rules by entrusting states and districts with flexible, formula-driven block grants." Translation: Repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Page 372 "The U.S. nuclear arsenal needs to be updated and reinvigorated... Fund the design, development, and deployment of new nuclear warheads, including the production of plutonium pits in quantity. Expand the U.S. Navy and develop new nuclear naval reactors to ensure that the Navy has the nuclear propulsion it needs to secure America’s strategic interests. End ineffective and counterproductive nonproliferation activities like those involving Iran and the United Nations." Translation: Withdraw from "let's not use nuclear weapons" agreements, build more nuclear weapons, and resume nuclear weapons testing.

Page 451 "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on 'LGBTQ+ equity,' subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families. Working fathers are essential to the well-being and development of their children, but the United States is experiencing a crisis of fatherlessness that is ruining our children’s futures... homes with non-related 'boyfriends' present are among the most dangerous place for a child to be. HHS should prioritize married father engagement in its messaging, health, and welfare policies. In the context of current and emerging reproductive technologies, HHS policies should never place the desires of adults over the right of children to be raised by the biological fathers and mothers who conceive them." Translation: The cishet nuclear family is the only valid, legally recognizable family.

Page 474 "Reissue a stronger transgender national coverage determination. CMS should repromulgate its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding 'gender reassignment surgery' for Medicare beneficiaries. In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans." Translation: Remove all gender-affirming care coverage from government insurance plans.

Page 482 "Eliminate the Head Start program." Translation: Remove free education/health programs for low-income families.

Page 508 "Repeal climate change initiatives and spending in the department’s budget request." Translation: End all programs that address climate change.

Page 524 "Rescind the Biden rules and reinstate the Trump rules regarding... The Endangered Species Act rules defining Critical Habitat and Critical Habitat Exclusions." Translation: Remove protections for endangered animals.

Page 524 "Reinstate President Trump’s plan for opening most of the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska to leasing and development." Translation: Expand Arctic drilling.

Page 587 "The Working Families Flexibility Act would allow employees in the private sector the ability to choose between receiving time-and-a-half pay or accumulating time-and-a-half paid time off." Translation: Employers are not required to pay extra for overtime.

Page 592 "Employers and employees should be able to set a two- or four-week period over which to calculate overtime. This would give workers greater flexibility to work more hours in one week and fewer hours in the next and would not require the employer to pay them more for that same total number of hours of work during the entire period." Translation: The 40-hour work week should become a 160-hour work month, so employers can make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month.

Page 664 "The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories." Translation: Americans should not get free extreme weather warnings. We should have to pay for it, and watch commercials between segments.

Page 708 "The next conservative Administration should take affirmative steps to expose and eradicate the practice of critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ... Treat the participation in any critical race theory or DEI initiative, without objecting on constitutional or moral grounds, as per se grounds for termination of employment." Translation: Fire any/all government employees who participated in DEI training.

EVERY EPISODE SO FAR THAT DOESNT END WITH “GOODNIGHT, NIGHT VALE. GOODNIGHT”

SO I finished the list today! This list includes any variation of the phrase, episodes where he just doesn’t say it although present, and episode where he doesn’t say it because he’s not present. I decided to mark colour code them as a result!

• variation, • no goodnight, • no Cecil

Before I start:

I did not include extra episodes like snippets from the lives shows and such.

For the quotes here I only took the final phrase. So anything that breaks the usual scheme like a lack of “stay tuned next” or any lengthy monologue about anything relating to the goodnight phrase, I didn’t quote

I’m thinking about making a video compilation later on but for now I DONT have the space to dowload all these episodes so this will do for now!

If I missed any, lmk!
