Mario Is Not From Brooklyn

So something that I've noticed come up time and again in Mario lore discussion is people trying to argue that Mario is still an Italian American Immigrant from Brooklyn, and that he get Isekaied into the Mushroom Kingdom. They claim the New Donkers colonized the Metro Kingdom and the events of Donkey Kong Arcade took place in New York City, and they try to use Tour Earth(I'll talk about this in a future post) in this all. They also claim DK94 is the only one that takes place New Donk City. Many try to use this to claim the movie is canon to the games as well. So here's why this is not the story of the games. First off in the article from Engadget titled Super Mario Odyssey' may look bizarre, but it feels just right. We learn Mario is not an Italian American from Brooklyn. "At first, this is almost jarring. In New Donk City, a sprawling metropolis, Mario's short, squat body looks noticeably out of place, enough to make me turn to the presenters at Nintendo's E3 booth and ask a weird question: Is Mario even human? The spokesperson on hand said the company's official line for that particular query was to say that he was a native son of the Mushroom Kingdom." This is something backed up by Yoshi's New Island showing Mario and Luigi's parents live in the Mushroom Kingdom. Made further evident by them living there in Partner's In Time, and the Wooly and Crafted World games being the result of a Baby Mario, Luigi, and Peach playing in a Kindergarten.

The second thing is the city where the events of Donkey Kong took place is established to be on the same planet. Donkey Kong 94 shows this and Miyamoto also talks about it in the developer interview from Shmuplations. Miyamoto: "Right. We came up with a lot of ideas, and ultimately decided that it'd be nice if Donkey Kong got his own castle, too (laughs). The story of the original game plays out over and over ― Donkey Kong running away, the player chasing after them, running, chasing ― culminating in Donkey Kong's stomping grounds." + "The Mushroom Kingdom looks to be on the outskirts of Donkey Kong's homeland, as seen in the game's ending…" Made further evident by the Kong easily getting there in Donkey Kong Land even more evident by the manual. "Travel by Zeppelin to Donkey Kong's favorite stomping ground, Big City. The sight of that familiar skyline might bring back fond memories, but don't waste your time sightseeing when there are Kremlings around!" Also, while not canon the OVA already had the idea of Mario and Luigi being from the same planet that has the Mushroom Kingdom on it, as referring to them coming from a Kingdom from the East. While one could argue that is might have been intended to still be New York back then, it cannot be argued that is the case now.

This is because this city was renamed to New Donk City and is intended to be the one from DKA. In a 4Gamer interview titled What was the intention behind the various changes made to "Super Mario Odyssey"? We asked producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. In this interview Koizumi reveals this is the city from that one game. "We created the visuals for New Donk City with a city as the theme, and then we thought, 'Oh, come to think of it, we had a game set in a city a long time ago. Mario was in it, wasn't he?' So Pauline's name popped up like a word association game. At first, we had the idea of ​​making her the princess of New Donk City, but we thought that there wouldn't be a princess in that city's world, so we made her the mayor." This also further reveal that Pauline is indeed Lady from DKA. Speaking of Pauline, when answering her questions in SMO she mentions having been captured by an ape one time. Since there has been several kidnappings this would imply she's referring to the first and original one which took place in DKA. The one she calls traumatic and a terrible day. She also askes how well she's doing as a Mayor, that alongside some details about the city being under construction, reference to the city's origins, and coins with her face on it implied this city is pretty young and she hasn't been mayor since the city began. There is also the thing with the Classic Outfit. The final evidence for New Donk City being the city from DKA is the following. The City has the same steel gutters from DKA, alongside iconography of the original game. Something page 358 of The Art Of Super Mario Odyssey actually calls attention to. "Many of the stylistic elements in New Donk City come from this game. The billboards and red steel girders are obvious, but the taxi license plates that read '1981-ND' come from the year of this game's release" But the nail in the coffin is the festival season which is mentioned in the brochure, in particular the one you participate in, in SMO. As a New Donker says in this festival, "this festival tells the story of our city's beginnings." A detail even the Art Book calls attention to on page 358 of course. "This rivalry is re-created during the festival!" Pauline also does the movements she made in the arcade game during this festival. This festival has the theme and imagery not of Donkey Kong 94 or anything else, but specifically DKA which would be in reference to that terrible day Pauline referred to. This confirms the events of DKA took place in this city and not in real world New York City.

Not a single piece of in game information, nor does any manual, or even Odyssey interview state that the New Donker came from real world New York City. Even if Miyamoto came out now and said DKA takes place in New York, it would be wrong because the current story of the games contradicts this. It's best to treat New Donk City like Gotham, more than likely originally intended to be New York. But eventually made into a fictional city once given a proper name, and now only takes heavy inspiration from the real world place.

[suppermariobroth]

In Super Mario Odyssey, there is a hidden message from Cappy that can only be seen during the nighttime version of New Donk City, if Mario takes the motor scooter from the beginning of the section (next to where the entrance to the city would be during the day) and rides it all the way to the roof of the building to the east of the city hall.

This is much harder to do during the nighttime version of this area as it requires Mario to ride the scooter across the suspended beams of the construction site on the west side of the city. If this is done during the daytime, Cappy will not be impressed as the path from the scooter spawning point to this roof is clear and requires no dangerous platforming.

In Super Mario Odyssey, the collision of the platforms in the second room of the Underground Power Plant in New Donk City is slightly misaligned from their visual appearance, causing all entities to float a short distance above the ground. Note Mario and the rat both floating slightly above their shadows in the screenshot.

most and least divorced mario characters?

Love this question

MOST DIVORCED MARIO CHARACTERS

#1: Bowser & Peach

Now, Bowser has only married Peach for dark ritual purposes, which legally I think doesn't count. However, you can't deny that there is something distinctly divorced about their relationship. Bowser Jr. is extremely fond of both of them, idolizing his father and calling Peach "Mama" (even after he knows she did not give birth to him - another point for Divorced Bowser). Bowser obviously loves his kid, and Peach really has no quarrel with him either; nevertheless, the only time Junior ever sees them alone together is when they're fighting. "Your princess is in another castle", indeed.

#2: Donkey Kong Jr.

Donkey Kong Jr. is so goddamn divorced that we don't even know who his ex-wife is. She just fucked off to nowhere. Now he is a lonely balding accountant in New Donk City, but he is doing very well for himself, so good for him. Maybe one day he will be ready to jump back into the dating scene and find his second banana.

#3 Queen Jaydes & King Grambi

They have joint custody over Luvbi but unlike Bowser and Peach they are amicably separated so all that means for her is that she gets two birthdays.

Now...

LEAST DIVORCED MARIO CHARACTERS

#1: Yoshi

#2: Cranky & Wrinkly Kong

"Til death do we part" my ass. No force on earth or otherwise is going to keep these geezers from bickering over the TV remote. Forget OTP, this is the TP.

#3: 5-Volt

Sorry fellas, 5-Volt does NOT have single mom swag. Although she is the only one of 9-volt's parents with the honor of being playable, seasoned wario veterans will know that 9-volt has a loving firefighter dad whose choice of occupation (and presumably the physique that comes with it) only "fans the flames of love" for 5-volt, disappointing MILF-hunters everywhere. Go get your own, ugly.

🌜 Super Mario Odyssey: post-ending headcanons 🌛

Today marks seven years since the release of my FAVORITE 3D Mario game:

🌜 Super Mario Odyssey 🌛

This game really means EVERYTHING to me, so I wanted to make a little something to commemorate this date. I have to admit I didn't have any ideas at first, but then I remembered what @pepperycar commented on this post... and was suddenly inspired 🤭 Thank you so much, my friend! I owe you this one 💖

So, here I bring you a few ideas that I had on what could have happened after the end of Super Mario Odyssey. There will be Mareach, brotherly love, and SPOILERS, so if you haven't finished this game yet: beware!! ⚠

(And please go play it because it's AWESOME.)

@vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @megamagimugi @peaches2217 @keakruiser

@itsavee4117 @roscolate @smokszyvverstar @wahooitsamee @kelbreyworshipper I thought perhaps you might be interested, so I hope it's okay that I tag you 🥰 Of course, no worries if you're not! Feel free to ignore this post and please forgive me for bothering you 😅

Also, I took a bit of inspo from this adorable post that I remember reblogging from my old account. Please have a look if you haven't yet because it's absolutely CUTE 🥹

Without further ado... Let's-a go! ❤️

👑 Peach's wardrobe 👑

Princess Peach has a large and varied wardrobe. So far, Mario only remembers seeing her wearing her signature pink dresses, her favorite. She has several that are very similar to each other, with only a few small differences between them, such as puffed sleeves that her summer dress does not have, or an older design in which almost the entire skirt is a darker shade of pink. Peach always appears before him and his subjects wearing one of these outfits as pink is her favorite color, and one that, in Mario's opinion, suits her very well.

Recently, however, Mario has found that his beloved princess has a wide variety of outfits and has decided to start wearing them to visit the various kingdoms that Bowser has taken her to during her kidnapping, now that she finally has the freedom to choose where, when, and with whom to go.

And Mario loves to dress to match her.

The first time they did it, Mario ran into Peach and her friend Tiara almost by accident as she, as brave as ever, explored the lonely Forgotten Isle in an outfit worthy of Indiana Jones himself. Shorts, a backpack on her back, boots prepared for the earthy soil of the place... and her hair in a bun that was hidden under her explorer's cap.

Mario didn't take half a second to run back to his Odyssey ship and put on his own explorer's outfit to join her and continue exploring the island together.

When he met her in New Donk City, Peach was wearing one of Mario's favorite outfits of all the ones he had seen her in so far: a long pink flying skirt that, unlike her dresses, left her feet exposed; a gorgeous white blouse with a scarf around her neck, in a pastel pink shade that matched her pristine skin; and a wide hat over her abundant blonde hair. She looked beautiful and very comfortable, and the best part: she loved the black suit with matching fedora that Mario put on to go with Peach’s outfit. She told him he looked very elegant, and Mario thought his smile would overflow on both sides of his face since his cheeks hurt so much.

To him, on the other hand, the one who looked tremendously stylish and graceful was Peach when he met her in Bonneton. Her attire was dark, composed of a grayish coat, black stockings and gloves of the same color, which she combined with a beret that adorned her long hair. Mario kept watching her for a while, unable to help it, and he did the same thing when he met her in Shiveria, since the black and gold of her figure stood out among so much blinding white.

On that occasion, Mario felt that he’d never measure up to her with his orange, quilted coat, as opposed to Bonneton, where he was able to look at least a bit elegant with his black tuxedo, his red bow tie and a top hat that gave him the look of a magician. Or, at least, that's what she told him, while letting out a giggle that made Mario think of the softest and sweetest crystal bells.

Another one of his favorite outfits for the princess was her farmer attire, which was the one she chose to wear to visit the Luncheon Kingdom. Mario wasn’t surprised to find her picking turnips to help the locals prepare their famous soup, as it wasn’t the first time he’d seen her pulling vegetables from the ground. When she saw him dressed in his chef's outfit, she immediately applauded him and prepared to hand over the vegetables to him, thus naming him the official in charge of preparing the delicious best dish of the kingdom.

As for the last three outfits the princess has worn, Mario is unable to choose, as all three have provoked various sensations in him that made him wish he could stare at her forever, without having any other worries or mission to carry out. The Yukata with the fire flower pattern was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of them, a beautiful and lovely vision that gave him back some vitality and joy when he ran into Peach in Bowser's Kingdom. He, as bold as brass, put on his samurai outfit, ready to defend her from any evil, and she, always so demure, covered her face with her hand-held fan to hide a soft giggle. Still, watching her hair pulled back in a ponytail and the Boo-shaped buckle adorning her head, Mario knew he’d never measure up to her.

And he felt the same way when, while strolling along Bubblaine Beach and enjoying the coolness of the water with his doggy friend, he found her there, wearing that pretty white sarong adorned with pink power moons, the sunglasses on her blonde head... and that bikini that exposed more porcelain skin than Mario had ever seen. He felt completely ridiculous in his red swimsuit with white polka dots and wanted to sink to the depths of the crystal-clear waters of the kingdom just to prevent her from seeing him like that.

However, that couldn't overcome how stupid and embarrassed Mario felt when, just after rescuing her from Bowser's clutches, he got caught up in an absurd competition with the king of the Koopas to try to get Peach to agree to marry him. They may have both been wearing the perfect outfits, Peach in her beautiful white dress that made her look like an angel and him in his tuxedo of the same color and matching hat.

But Mario realized too late that this was not the right moment.

Still, he is content to have had the opportunity, albeit brief, to stand next to Peach while they both wore what would possibly be their wedding outfits. Mario knows that this will never happen again, that it’ll never come true, because the idea of trying to propose again wouldn’t even cross his mind. It took him a long time to forgive himself for his huge blunder, even though it took Peach only a few minutes to do so, and he’d never be able to be at peace with himself if he bothered her again.

Peach's friendship is very precious to Mario. He loves to meet her on his travels and share a few moments with her, full of fun and trust, which he wishes he could extend in time forever. In addition, on more than one occasion, Peach has asked him to accompany her to Lake Lemonade to make a new dress, and sometimes she has also invited Toad and Luigi. The people there are experts in haute couture, and Mario is always spellbound as he watches Peach pose for the seamstresses, who, in a matter of minutes, are able to create a new dress for her, each one more beautiful than the last.

And, on each occasion, Peach always turns on herself so that the dress can be appreciated in all its splendor, making her look more dazzling than a star and more radiant than the sun itself.

🎈 Balloon Brothers🎈

Shortly after he saved Peach, Mario made two decisions when he continued to travel the kingdoms on his Odyssey ship. The first one was to adopt his loyal doggy friend, the clever Shiba that has helped him find so many power moons during his adventure. He named her Hattie, as she adores wearing a hat on her head no matter where they travel to, and also because her favorite game is chasing after Mario's cap and bring it back to him.

And the second one, as soon as he ran into Luigi for the first time, was that he'd always play Balloon World with him.

Every world he travels to, whatever his purpose or the mission that takes him there, Mario always has time for his little brother and loves to play Balloon World with him. He adores seeing his sibling so cheerful and excited, and the way he claps and cheers him on always causes Mario’s unstoppable energy to soar and his heart to melt with tenderness.

In Fossil Falls, Luigi was so scared of the T-Rex that organizing the game for Mario served as a distraction and a way for him to release some stress, something Mario was extremely relieved about. In Forgotten Isle, the same bird that had captured Cappy was threatening to pop the balloons that kept Luigi in the air and that were an essential part of his outfit as the game organizer, which only motivated Mario to chase the darned bird with the help of his loyal Hattie, until, at last, and to the relief of both brothers and Cappy, he managed to scare it away.

However, as soon as Mario ran into Luigi in the Snow Kingdom, shivering with cold in his shirtsleeves, but still smiling at his brother and inviting him to play while hugging himself, Mario did not hesitate for a moment: he hurried to get rid of his orange coat and, ignoring Luigi's faint protests, threw it over his twin, taking care not to accidentally pop his balloons. Despite his initial reluctance, Luigi couldn't help but close his eyes as he snuggled into the garment, trying to get warm, and Mario, his heart shrinking, hugged him with all his might as he gently rubbed his arms and back. Luigi cuddled up to him and Mario stroked his hair gently, his mind flooded with memories of when they were both little and Luigi would run to hide in his bed because he thought there was a monster under his bed. Sighing as he held his sibling in his arms, trying to shield him from the cold and icy drafts, Mario didn't agree to play until after he had taken Luigi inside his ship to wrap him in a blanket and offer him a hot drink to warm up inside.

Nevertheless, the opposite thing happened in Tostarena: Luigi, always determined to stay true to his original outfit as the game's creator, was too warm for the scorching desert heat. Before playing Balloon World, Mario decided that his little brother needed a change to feel more comfortable. So he grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into the shop. Luigi had to bend down so that his balloons could go in with him, and Mario immediately tried to convince him to, like him, put on a typical costume of the land, poncho and wide hat included, to feel comfier while they played there. His twin resisted a little, always wanting to maintain the elegance a game show host should always display, but when Mario assured him that he could keep his green bow tie, Luigi finally gave in. And, seeing them both in matching outfits, Mario also managed to convince his brother to play Balloon World together, to which Luigi agreed only after gifting him one of his balloons for Mario to wear on his wrist.

And they've done it many more times since then: in Peronza Plaza, in Bonneton, in New Donk City... even on the Moon! Also, whenever they play in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Toads join them and Luigi ends up giving them as many balloons as possible so they can have fun playing on their own, being the kind-hearted person he is.

Of course, Mario is well aware that his sibling knows the locations of the balloons, being the organizer of Balloon World, but he equally enjoys touring the various worlds with his little brother by the hand, dragging him along while Luigi floats after him and simply lets himself go. Mario’s heart sings for joy with every laugh that escapes his twin’s throat, especially when Hattie also joins the fun and runs with them in search for the balloon, only to pop it as soon as they do. Mario also loves the way Luigi guides him, or often misleads him, to make his search for the balloon easier or more complicated. Mario likes to be challenged by the game and Luigi knows it, so he appreciates it when his brother tries to trick him to divert him from his initial goal. This lengthens the game, as well as the time the brothers spend together, thus increasing the fun.

However, when it's time to say goodbye, Mario can read in his brother's face that he’s just as reluctant to part with him as Mario himself. His complicated missions through the kingdoms and, also, the longing to be reunited with Peach and spend some time with her as well have caused Mario to have to leave his brother's side without really wanting to, his soul screaming in the depths of his being that he should not do so, that he should turn back and return to Luigi's side.

When the same thing happens to him in the Moon Kingdom, Mario finally stops before entering his ship and turns on his heels. He sees Luigi raise his head, confused to see him turn around, and the surprise on his face only grows when Mario starts running towards him, although a little slower than he’d like due to the moon's gravity. A smile breaks out on Mario's face as he speeds up as fast as he can, and he stretches out his arms as he approaches his little brother. Luigi barely has time to open his arms as well before Mario pounces on him.

Luigi's gasp causes Mario to burst out laughing as he spins around with his brother in his arms, holding him tightly. It takes him a few seconds to realize that both of them are now floating in the air, propelled not only by Luigi's balloons, but also by the lack of gravity prevailing on the moon. His sibling clings to him as he laughs shyly, and Mario pulls away from him a second before his feet touch down again.

Holding Luigi's hands tightly and energetically, Mario offers him to board his Odyssey ship and accompany him on his travels, so that they can continue playing Balloon World together as his adventure progresses. And, perhaps, Luigi could also help him during their missions, just like in the old days, when they visited faraway realms, such as Pi’illo Island or the Beanbean Kingdom, and even became partners in time.

As he speaks, Mario is very aware that his eyes are shining, full of excitement. His whole face must be, in fact, as euphoria bubbles up inside him like a river of unstoppable lava. He’s unable to keep completely still, so he inadvertently shakes his hands and, with them, those of his brother, as he explains his idea to him. And his enthusiasm undoubtedly rubs off on his twin, as Mario can read in Luigi's blue eyes, identical to his own, which are filling with a special glow that can only mean he shares Mario's eagerness.

And so it was that the brothers began to travel together.

✨ The Golden Trio ✨

In some of their first trips together, when the brothers are about to play Balloon World, Peach meets them and becomes a spectator of their games. Luigi welcomes her with open arms and quickly explains to her what Mario has to do, and while his brother is searching, Luigi reveals in whispers to the princess where the balloon his twin is looking for is hidden.

Although, at first, Mario is a little embarrassed that Peach is going to watch him while he searches, he quickly decides that he must do everything he can to impress her, so he puts more effort into finding the balloon quickly and on his own, despite Hattie's attempts to help him. Whenever he succeeds, Luigi praises him enthusiastically and gives him a big hug, which Mario reciprocates joyfully and heartily. Peach, after applauding him a little more demurely, leans over to place a kiss on his nose, causing Mario's whole face to light up until it looks redder than his shirt. This always happens under the watchful eye of Luigi, who doesn't miss the chance to give his sibling a playful nudge while trying to silence his giggles, causing Mario's blush to increase.

However, the third time Peach meets the brothers, Luigi has the idea of inviting her to participate in the game, which he eagerly puts to her. Both she and Mario are delighted, and Luigi immediately rearranges the game so that Mario and Peach can play in competition against each other.

Of course, respect and friendship prevail in the game. Mario continues to play as usual, but Peach often beats him, as she’s quick and smart, and he can only admire her more and more every time this happens. In fact, he’d say that he enjoys the occasions when the princess beats him the most, as he loves to see her so happy and enjoying herself when playing with him. Needless to say, even though Luigi is a most enthusiastic audience, Mario is the one who always applauds Peach the most, which makes her blush, something that doesn't happen to her when she thanks Luigi's compliments.

When the game is preparing to take place for the fifth time since Mario and Peach started playing together, Mario can't help but notice the way his brother is wringing his hands and fiddling with his fingers as he watches them. The game is about to begin, but he can't take his eyes off Luigi. He can read his face like an open book, something that has happened practically since they were born... and he doesn't like what he sees.

It's not that Luigi is sad. He's happy to be with them and eager to see them play Balloon World again. He's ready to cheer them both on and shower them with praise, as always, for, after all, his little brother is one of the sweetest and gentlest people he knows.

However, Mario can see in his gestures, in the way he bites his lower lip, in the way he fiddles with his own hands, in the way his eyes sparkle, that Luigi misses being able to join the game despite knowing the location of the balloons beforehand.

So even though Luigi gives the start command just a second later, Mario doesn't move.

And it pleases him greatly to realize that Peach, next to him, hasn't moved either.

When he turns his face towards her, Peach does the same. Mario barely needs a few seconds to realize that the princess, always as perceptive and as concerned about Luigi as he is, almost as if she were some sort of big sister to him, has also noticed the longing that shines in his little brother's eyes.

The two hold each other's gaze for a moment before smiling determinedly and giving one another a mutual nod. In unison, the two turn to Luigi, who looks from one to the other, his face the spitting image of bewilderment. As he and Peach start walking towards the game organizer, Mario can't help but let out a laugh in anticipation of what's about to happen, and he hears Peach let out a small giggle next to him that only makes his heart swell.

Decisively, they both hold Luigi, each with one hand, and Mario puts his other arm around Luigi's shoulders while Peach wraps her free arm around the younger plumber’s back. Luigi doesn't understand anything, but he doesn't resist, since, of course, he trusts them completely. Peach and Mario start walking while dragging him along, and the princess proclaims that, by royal order, Luigi must play Balloon World with them. This finally gets Luigi to relax and even laugh, and Mario feels his little brother squeeze his hand as he and the princess laugh together.

For a moment, Mario simply watches them. His heart fills with joy whenever he sees them getting along so well. He loves that Luigi has found in Peach a friend he can trust and be himself with, and he loves that the princess, in each of their interactions, shows that she truly cares about Luigi's well-being and wants only the best for him.

And he just loves them both so much that his heart could burst.

He couldn’t live without either of them.

When the game concludes, shortly before the brothers return to the Odyssey ship, Mario summons the courage to offer Peach to join them. That way, the three of them could travel together, keep each other company and help one another in their adventures, and they’ll always have the chance to play Balloon World together.

As he speaks, however, it occurs to Mario that perhaps he should have consulted Luigi before inviting Peach, so he throws a sidelong glance at his brother to try to apologize to him without words.

But Luigi, ever so sweet and kind, ever the man with the purest heart, is nodding eagerly as he hears his brother speak, and as soon as Mario concludes, Luigi turns to Peach and takes her hands while expressing how much he’d love for her to join them. Mario can't and won't hold back the look of intense love and adoration he gives his twin as he talks to the princess. Who, of course, gladly accepts.

Thus, Mario, Luigi and Peach, accompanied by the inseparable and always loyal Hattie, Cappy and Tiara, embark on the Odyssey to a new world. And, as they travel, the three of them look out the window, Mario and Luigi with their hands on the glass and looking at the clouds with excitement, and the princess, with a hand resting on the shoulder of each of the brothers as she joins in their excitement at the sight they are contemplating.

Their adventure has only just begun.

I know I’m many years late to playing Mario Odyssey and maybe this has been discussed at length before but like, Pauline is the mayor of New Donk city right? But she doesn’t look like the citizens. They all look alike except for skin color and a gender distinction while their mayor is the only unique person and even in a different art style. So is she their “Princess Peach” and they’re her “Toads?” And therefore depending on the continuity are they different species and she’s from another world or are they the same species but a “Donker” can become a Pauline if elected mayor, making democratic election their “super crown???”

[themainspoon]

Ok, everybody humour me for a second. It's kinda nutty that despite everything Mario and Luigi are still cannonically two American Italian dudes from Brooklyn.

Like, in Yoshi's Island we learn that Mario and Luigi were delivered by stork (they were therefore also never conceived, and despite this somehow remain American with Italian heritage). Those storks were going over a magical dinosaur Island on their way to fucking real life Brooklyn NYC.

In the Warioland series we learn that in the Mario universe there are in fact societies reminiscent of our own, with regular human inhabitants. But Mario and Luigi aren't from those societies, they're from REAL LIFE BROOKLYN NYC.

Also, just for a second, I would like us all to consider the people of New Donk City. Remembering that Mario and Luigi represent what normal, regular humans from real life look like in the Mario artstyle, I want us all to seriously consider what sort of freakish 9ft tall slender people inhabit New Donk.

Every single thing you see either of them do is being done by some random dude you could encounter just walking around real life New York. Like, that's unhinged, the entire premise of Mario and Luigi as characters is just unbelievably wild, despite everything they're just two random ass men! The only thing that makes even a small ammount of sense about them is that they bailed on the real world to go live in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Since Mario Jumpman Mario makes a cameo in the audience during Kirby Superstar, does that mean that Mario lived in the New World?

That's right!! Mario and Kirby exist in the same universe.

That must mean- Mario Odyssey is the prequel to Forgotten Land CONFIRMED!!! The Downtown Grasslands were actually New Donk City this whole time!

Or what if the Kirby universe is the center of the entire Nintendo franchise and that's how so many artifacts from other games show up. That's why stuff like Mr. Saturn or the Triforce are buried in Great Cave Offensive!

Kirby is the ultimate evolution of every Nintendo universe. Heck- it must be the final stage of all universes!! ALL ROADS LEAD TO KIRBY!!! Our current society must also be on track to one day evolve into Dream Land! That means the chance that King Dedede is alive on our planet RIGHT NOW is low but not zero!!

In Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong use a zeppelin to travel from their island to Big Ape City, which is implied to be the location where Donkey Kong (1981) took place.

This would mean that Big Ape City is the same location as New Donk City from Super Mario Odyssey.

[spaceoddy]

POV: The year is 2028. You're in the theater watching the third Super Mario Bros. movie. New Donk City is in chaos; Mario and DK can't fight off Bowser's massive army alone. It's the all-is-lost moment. As a tidal wave of Goombas approaches, Mario and DK look at each other, resigned to their fate.

Suddenly, a golden star shoots across the sky and pierces one of Bowser's airships; it explodes instantly. "What was that?" DK (Seth Rogen) shouts. Mario (Chris Pratt) throws his first up, "Party time!"

Next, thunder roars, and a giant bolt of lightning lands right in the middle of the Goombas, causing many of them to pop. When the smoke clears, Pikachu is standing in the crater. Mario runs up to him. "Thought you weren't coming!" Mario says. Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) smirks. "Peach made me an offer I couldn't refuse." [A fourth wall reference to some legal dispute between Nintendo and GameFreak that almost kept Pikachu out of the movie].

Samus somersaults into the frame and fires at some floating Shy Guys; she lands in a cool pose. "Superhero landing!" Pikachu cheers because you need to remember he is Ryan Reynolds.

Link jumps into the scene from behind Samus. He slashes at a dozen or so Dry Bones. Nothing happens until Link sheaths the Master Sword, and then they all crumble into a pile of bones.

The shooting star from earlier circles the group, and Kirby hops off. We get a slow shot of the heroes standing side by side. The Brawl theme plays as the citizens of New Donk City cheer with renewed hope. Bowser's army has regrouped and is now even larger. "Let's hurry this up, boys," Samus (Jennifer Lawrence) says. "I don't work for free."

"We should compare paychecks after this," Ryan Reynolds - I mean Pikachu says.

"Wait!" Everyone turns to Link (Tom Holland). "You guys are getting paid?"

The group exchanges awkward glances. "Talk later, smash now!" Mario says. "Let's-a-go!"

This movie makes 3 billion dollars.

Mario Is Missing Is Not Canon

So Mario Is Missing is not canon to the games for a few reasons.

The main reason is Mario Is Missing contradicts the current canon of the Mario games. So in the manual for Mario Is Missing it says the following. "Will the brave brothers from Brookyln permit this abominable snow plan?" This is the Mario is an Italian American Immigrant from Brookyln origin that was never stated in any confirmed canon game or manual. This is not canon to the games continuity and is only canon to the Movieverse and Supershowverse. In the games Mario is a native son of the Mushroom Kingdom and immigrated to Big City as some point.

Also, this game alongside other games like Hotel Mario is probably on the same level of canonicity as the Supershow. This is because Nintendo basically licensed the characters to Toolworks, while Nintendo's staff and even Miyamoto did not have any hand in it. Note that even games like Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars at least had input from Nintendo's staff like Shigeru Miyamoto. With Miyamoto saying it didn't make sense for Mario to be riding a horse and wielding a sword, but rather to be riding Yoshi and wielding a hammer. This would probably put Mario Is Missing on the same level as the Supershow canonicity wise, and the claim it's always the same Mario wouldn't apply to this game.
