Top 5 Romance Club Love Interests

CONTEXT: The only stories I’ve fully caught with up as of the making of this post and therefore, met the LIs of their stories firsthand are the following:

Sails in the Fog S3E9

Moonborn S2E1

Shadows of Saintfour COMPLETED

Wave Patrol COMPLETED

Seduced by the Rhythm COMPLETED

Chasing You S1E2 (RIP lmao)

Heaven’s Secret COMPLETED

Rage of the Titans S2E8

Gladiator Chronicles S1E7

Heart of Trespia S1E7

The Flower from Tiamat’s Fire S1E2

Thanks to @somin-yin for the tagging for this! Now with my limited experience, lemme see if I can craft a top 5😂

(I blame Gladiator Chronicles for having currently little to no confirmation on LIs so if a “Love Interest” from that book happens to show up, I’m just assuming they’re a LI.)

Disclaimer: This list was kinda spontaneously made and on the spot so… yeah. Also I don’t have pictures so they were picked of off the wiki so quality of photos will be meh.

LIST BELOW THE CUT (It gets wordy. Sorry about that😅

Tagging: … I once again don’t know who to tag because everyone seemed to have done this by now. So I guess if you see this and haven’t already been tagged… feel free to make your own top 5!

5. CHARLES (SBTR)

I just like the little backstory of MC and Charles. The whole close bond together in their teens but they get separated due to unfortunate events, then reunites in the future? I kinda like that. Also, he’s hot and sweet which is quite a combo! Then why is he low on the list? Simply put, other stories attracted me more to them and their respective LIs.

4. SAMUEL MAKOTO (CY)

Despite being unfortunately in a story I only have two chapters of experience, I really enjoyed some of the screenshots I saw! (which were mostly about him and Alex being sus but enough about that.) That plus the small time I get to see him in HS. He was one of the few LIs I saw when I was just a newbie to this app and I was just drawn to him, let that speak for itself.

3. MURPHY / JASON (ROTT)

Yeah… I’m putting these two in a tie. As someone who is undecided in their LI in this story, combined with Ares making me wanna act up, I’m literally that meme of the guy sweating because he didn’t know what button to press. For Murphy? Do I need to explain? Man is so damn hot and also quite the softie too! For Jason? I honestly don’t know😆 I was just drawn to him from the start and I REALLY want to explore his route, despite its non-existency but I can wait for as long as I can… I think…

Also yeah I’m probably the one Jason stan in this whole app😀 But this lack of screentime makes me second guess myself cause wtf…

2. HOTCH (GC) (I hope…)

The Jan 2022 update only further cemented my want for this man to be confirmed of LI status. In Episode 7, he was kinda giving flirty and confident vibes? I like that! Am I grasping at straws on a character that might not even be an LI? Probably but that doesn’t mean I like him any less. Also he’s a spy… that’s cool!

1. MALBONTE (HS)

Though I’m not alone in this, I can definitely say that this was a landslide for me. If you can draw me to a whole new app and then exceed my expectations on your character and the story you’re in the way Malbonte did, you’re going on top 1 for me. Why do I like him? There’s something about instilling fear on everyone just by existing that I find attractive LMAO. He’s also REALLY beautiful AND the path I was going for in HS was where I had to balance Angel and Demon points, which was conveniently named the “Path of Malbonte”… You can’t tell me that’s not fate.

END OF POST

[tapswitcher-theoneandonly]

Have any HCs for Tap Trial girl or DS Pop Singer?

Dude I love Tap Trial girl she deserves headcanons and also flowers probably 

I’m gonna give her the name Aiko (I just like giving unnamed characters names because it’s much easier to both talk about them and it’s useful while I’m writing those characters) but I see her as an aspiring young dancer who is super excited to work in music and make a name for herself some day. Aiko is a big dreamer and totally shoots for the stars, she’s just a bit shocked initially when she finally gets that opportunity to start her dancing career and her tap teachers end up being... yknow, monkeys? And that her talent scout is an actual giraffe but in a way they’ve all kind of formed a little ragtag tap dance family 

Look at the superb epilogue, look at them!! They’re best friends!!

I think after being taught tap by monkeys Aiko also just has a way with animals now and understands them like nobody else does, she’s like a regular Snow White and has tons of animal friends, but her tap friends will always be number one! She’s also very aware of the Tall Tappers as a group and even though their tap styles are different from hers they trade techniques a lot.

Now the Pop Singer I know a bit less about since I haven’t gotten my hands on Rhythm Heaven DS yet and it seems like she’s different from game to game. According to the wiki though she’s unnamed in everything but the Spanish version where she is apparently named Anita Dynamite which is like, what a NAME. To me she resembles the Reporter a lot so I think they might be sisters? That’s an idea I kinda like

I think the Idol had a pretty similar experience to Aiko of being surprised that her music’s demographic is apparently monkeys but she’s gotten used to it and she knows and loves the fan club that never misses one of her shows! It’s actually thanks to the monkeys she gained so much fame and is now popular with a much broader audience, but even with many more human fans as well as other species she still has a focus on appealing to her monkey fans as thanks for all they’ve done for her! 

Rhythm Heaven has a lot of really cute human and monkey friendships of all things but I’m really here for it

A Kissing Story by @nickelkeep​ for morrigan (eliza_sugarcane)

Dean is nursing a cold and because he wants to make sure his immune system stays up to snuff, he refuses to let Cas heal him. Cas plays along and heals him in the old fashion way. With Orange Juice, Chicken Noodle Soup... and a Bedtime Story?

Turning Pages by @tobythewise​ for saltnhalo

When Dean and Castiel find themselves thrust into the pages of a storybook, Dean has flashbacks of Gabriel's tricks. He assumes that if he can go through with how the story is supposed to be told, he can navigate himself back out. But can he really go through with what the Book expects him to do? OR The one where Dean attempts to be Prince Charming five times and fails and the one time Castiel succeeds.

I Found by @unholy-wine​ for Jess [thatpeculiarone]

On the day his new neighbor moves in, Dean finds a plant on the sidewalk in front of his house. Perhaps it’s generous to call it a plant: it’s small, and doesn’t seem like it has much of a life left without interference. He hesitates. Maybe the plant is his neighbor's. He should go ask.

The Hunter and the Angel by @a-insominia​ for snarkysnartes

The monsters are still around, but so is the angel. And on the darkest of nights when your blood could freeze, when you hear a creak on the floorboard, see a shadow at the window, hear a whisper on the wind - that's when he comes, fulfilling a promise he made to the hunter.

The Happiest Place on Earth by thatpeculiarone for robotsnchicks 

Somehow Team Free Will 2.0 end up in Florida and somehow, they end up in Disney World. Dean finds himself in a land of fairy tales and make believe but is ultimately prepared for a day of nightmares. Yet, it turns out Disney World has a lot of surprises.

Aladdean by @alessariel​ for profound-boning

There’s no nice way to put it: Dean’s a thief (among other unsavory things). But no matter what the palace guard claims, Dean only steals what he and his brother need to survive. Down on his luck and starving, Dean is approached by a strange man offering him the chance of a lifetime. It’s supposed to be an easy job. What could possibly go wrong? *** After the storm summoned by his rage and desperation had died down, Castiel collapsed on the smooth metallic floor. Castiel‘s mind wandered back to the one thing occupying it since he’d found himself imprisoned here once more. For an ageless being of insurmountable powers it was kind of pathetic how he couldn‘t stop thinking about one lowly, inconsequential human. Only Dean was anything but low or inconsequential, at least to Castiel.

Disappear in the Trees by @wildsofourhearts​ for MalMuses

In a library that once entered, can't be exited, Castiel, against his will, works as the lone librarian, doing his best to make the people who wander inside comfortable in their final moments. Forced to weave human lives into storybooks for the library to devour, he hasn't seen the outside world in decades. Enter Dean Winchester. Can the chains of the library hold Castiel with another, more profound, bond forming between he and Dean?

Under the Red Hood by iCeDreams for noxlee

Do not go into the woods, do not go when the moon is full and the wolf howls, hiding in the thicket. Having been under Wolf’s Night for more than ten generations, Dean trained under the Order of the Hunters to slay the wolf that has been taking the children from Chesterford. Donning his red hood, he seeks out this monster to make Silver Ash safe again.

Old Tales Made New by @malmuses for sternchencas

Cas enjoyed a quiet, pleasant life. A little lonely in the love department, perhaps, but he had a pleasant rhythm to his days thanks to running his basement bookstore, Subtext. His days got a pleasant little shake-up when a hurricane blew a fantastically beautiful book-lover into his store; Unfortunately, Dean wasn't from Sioux Falls, and Cas wasn't sure if he was interested in any more than a dry place to pass the time. Obviously, Cas didn't pine. He was far too sensible for that. Or so he told himself.

Shifting Stories by @malmuses for turningthepages

Gabriel had seen a lot of pining in his time. Over the slow passing of millennia, he’d observed some of the world’s greatest love stories. Antony and Cleopatra. Orpheus and Eurydice. Mary and Joseph, not to toot his own horn. But these two… these two might be the death of him... Gabriel had only been in the bunker three days, but he was already totally done watching Dean and Cas dance around each other, awkwardly no-homoing their way through life. So, he came to a decision. He was going to make them fake it. He might have been a little low on grace, but pocket dimensions and reality manipulation? Child's play, for him! Time for some new roles for Dean and Cas, in their very own fairytales. "Changing Channels" but with fairytales. Or, when Gabriel gets fed up and forces the hunter and the angel to play at getting together... repeatedly.

[solbit-fox]

I have no idea who the author is (I’ll credit the person asap!), but it’s a video featuring the scenario where a slug like creature is overcoming obstacles, going to the top and unlocking pudding, all while ‘Dreams of our generation’, a song from Rhythm Heaven Fever’s credits is playing.

It’s brilliant and also... I have it as my special memory, so I decided to share.

It’d not be possible without one person who is much more special than this video. Thank you for not letting it disappear.

https://rhythmheaven.fandom.com/wiki/Dreams_of_Our_Generation

[majormeilani]

headcanons below cut!!!!

- Mustache Girl's real name is "Muriel" but she prefers to go by "Mu" since Muriel sounds like an "old lady's name" to her. "Mustache Girl" is her self-appointed "hero's" name.

- Mu wanted to grow up and be a teacher or a detective. My evidence for either of these is the brief tutorial scene where Mu explains her plan to Hat Kid. And the detective part goes back to the beta stuff, as she's referred to as a 'ruthless detective" in one of the beta things too.

- Mu knows karate and she's been learning it since she was little. My "evidence" for this hc is that her beta character model was quoting the voice track from "Karate Man" from Rhythm Heaven (the "Hey, baby, how's it goin? This beat is non-stop. Hey, baby, listen to my phrase. I can give you a sense of rhythm") I just think it's fitting to her character to know karate, since she's always seen fighting and I feel she's survived so long from knowing how to defend herself. It also explains her outfit a bit to me lol.

ref: https://ahatintime.fandom.com/wiki/Mustache_Girl?file=Hatintime_Early1.jpeg

- Her 'hair beads' were a gift from her mother that she cherishes dearly and is distraught if she loses them as they're the one thing she has to remember her mom by.

- I headcanon her age to be between 12-13 years old.

- She enjoys drawing and finds comfort in drawing in the sand on the beach sometimes.

- She likes to collect seashells and seaglass and knows a lot about marine life.

- Her original house was the house that is caved in and ruined. The mafia fired a cannon ball into it when they were testing the town cannons, totally by accident. (lying)

- Despite her acting like she's independent and gets by on her own, she's incredibly lonely and just wants a friend. Unfortunately, she has a hard time making friends with others and is easily hurt due to everything she went through. She finds it hard to trust others and feels paranoid when someone is kind to her. I really think that one Mafia Goon that plays "patty cake" with you is partially to blame for her distrust, since he only plays the hand clapping game with you to punch you in the face. And I have no doubt something similar happened to her once.

- Her cape is a blanket she had that she repurposed to a cape. But most the time she still snuggles up in it when she's sleeping.

- Since she seems to like to vandalize things, I think she might've possibly spray painted the trans flag you can find in the Nyakuza Metro. Mu says trans rights.

- The umbrella that the Mafia Goon is holding in Ch 1 Act 1 used to belong to Mu but Mu allowed Hat Kid to have and modify it since she thought it was cool that someone else wanted to beat up the Mafia too. It was like an unintentional gift for Hat Kid for being her friend. (And I know that the umbrella was a part of HK's character since day one but I just think it makes sense to me that Mu lost it one day from the Mafia in the final game.)

- She often refers to Hat Kid and Bow Kid as her "rebel squad" and nicknames like "friend" "buddy" and "pal" and of course "fellow rebel." She of course refers to them by name sometimes too. She also has appointed them Earth names via their requests too; Harrieta for Hat Kid and Bella for Bow Kid. The two aliens probably gave her an alien name too, so she doesn't feel left out, ✓√(_)��

Anddd I probably have more in my brain somewhere but yeah!!!! These were the ones I had on my mind. Thank you for taking the time to read them if you did. ❤️ I'm also willing to hear y'all's hc's for her too if you'd like to share yours with me lol.

would anyone like to hear my mu hc's bc i have some.....

[22514209147]

azs smile like heavens light

having a heartbeat connects you to other humans, having none keeps you separate, rhythm of the world

burning his voice away, can't sing praise

a touch too red to be anything but tempting

from the soil to the stars

humans would make terrible angels, you make a terrible angel, why yes i suppose i do

what is the difference between righteous fury and the sin of wrath?

the power of holy love versus human love, one that the other angels can't understand and could destroy them

angels get their wings broken or pinioned when they fall so they can't save themselves

god is neutral not good, intentionally casts angels out just so that there are two sides

crowley freaks out the first time az touches his wings, traumatized

az misses flying because he hasn't gone, crowley misses it because he can't, az will never go without him

the effort that he had made last night was lying soft on his hip

crowley is left handed and has awful penmanship

he writes slowly to make up for it, coming up with and rejecting dozens of sentences before setting pen to paper

crowley's true form has a bright center that the Fall couldn't dim. he imagined there was an untouched place in him, so there was

az enjoys rituals of all kinds, stims.

az does dishes by hand when crowley teaches himself how to cook

very grounded in the physical world, sensation seeking

Falling feels like being partially empty, Rising feels like suddenly having an extra organ that doesn't fit

posture is terrible, weight of the world and others' expectations. straightening shoulders is like spreading wings

crowley was raphael but raphael wasnt important, humans decided he was

crowley trying to discorporate himself with alcohol and pills, az finds him

they can't miracle each other, az stays with him until he's well

in the dark to focus on senation alone

something felt off, wrong. like your teeth had been rearranged

he had been known by another name, too. one that was almost forgotten, just the barest memories of crimson, sparks of gold and a smile dancing on his lips

ocean mind

crowley's original eyes burned out when he Fell, literal snake eyes replaced them

he can't see the stars anymore, which is why he has the book. it's not great, but it helps with the heartache. az let's him see through his eyes and he cries for the first time since eden

crowley cried in Eden when it rained and az protected him, first act of kindness for another soul

demons are given animal parts to replace what they lost in the fall, cobbled together in crude imitations of creation

hiraeth- homesickness for a place you can never return to

angels can hear prayers directed to them.. crowley doesn't know this- nobody to pray to him before he Fell. az heard his prayers to him

az washing crowley's feet after the church

he would call himself pathetic, but at this point why bother? everyone already knew

az is adhd/autistic and the angels are all nt

doesn't like new tech because it's too loud and too bright and too much all the time

bringing wings out through clothing is possible but feels wrong and slightly off, shirtless is better

mournful, haunting, bitter. beautiful but it leaves you unsettled

az doesn't really need nipples but he likes them for the sensation and in the Victorian era he gets them pierced

crowley doesn't bother with nipples

use me, no i won't punish you, not like this, cuddles only

crowley makes an effort to get his pants to fit better and realizes that his body does things he's not necessarily in control of when he's with az

satisfaction is not in crowley's nature

crowley's back broke when he Fell, dragging useless legs

animals instinctively hate crowley, bookstore cat

they used to shake hands when saying goodbye but stopped after they realized they were in love because it felt both too close and too impersonal

crowley as raphael could heal. it was an intimate, slow process as he felt out all the problems and fixed them one by one with a gentle touch

crowley and az go for a walk and crowley gets to cold, refuses to warm himself with hellfire because he's scared of hurting az

angels can't sink, demons can't float. crowley likes to sit on the bottom and watch the surface from underneath

they go out for milkshakes, crowley is lactose intolerant

after leaving the dowlings crowley disappears for a few months and gets wasted, partying to forget his grief. he cut his hair and cried about it

crowley tends not to blink because every time he closes his eyes he sees himself falling

crowley used to love food but can't bring himself to enjoy it after his fall

crowley throws himself into experiences, following trends and letting up with the flow of culture while az stays the same

az feels lonely and forsaken by the other angels, hates that he still cares about them when they don't care about him

i am as good as the worst, i am as bad as the best (walt whitman i am as bad as the worst but thank god i am as good as the best)

az's halo is cool, steady light. crowley's is fire

heaven isn't about goodness, it's about obedience as opposed to hell's rebellion. they just assume obedience=goodness

az tries to touch crowley intimately, crowley takes control because he doesn't know how to sit back and receive attention. later he has az fuck him hard

crowley keeps everything and everyone at arm's length because he's afraid, tells himself he's not allowed to touch. once he and az are together he can't get enough

crowley is colorblind, the body swap takes a bit of getting used to because he's shocked at the colors

heavens light burns worse than the sun when gods grace is removed. crowley's freckles show up where the damage was worst, shoulders back hips etc

the back of his head smacked against the floor hard enough for him to see stars but he couldn't possibly care any less, wrapped in pleasure as he was

weatheredlaw antibodies their first kiss sparks, like licking a battery

god is infinitely multiple and devastatingly singular

"you mentioned having a friend over-"

"i have no friends outside of you"

that poor demon, the spherical little thing

when az sees abel dead it reminds him of the first time he stepped out of his body

hell is hot and damp, like a room with too many bobies in it

hellfire straight from hell vs hellfire made on earth by a demon

crowley appreciates sleep for the oblivion of the space between dreams. he doesn't hurt, doesn't yearn, doesn't regret

all angels of the host are connected, can feel when one is lost. it too a while to recover from the great war. demons are not connected to each other at all- they lost that in the fall, and always feel alone despite the crowding in hell. human individuality is between the two- they can't feel others, but they can create physical and emotional connection. that's where az and crow end up

crow hates being told her nice because the idea that there still good in him hurts. he believes that he's irredeemable and isn't okay with that as much as he claims to be.

demons don't trust one another with their wings so they keep them clean themselves or they never groom them.

when a fallen angel is touched with holy water everything hellish about them is washed away and the rest of them is taken to heaven

celestial harmonies contain so many voices and chords that they all sound the same

crowley spends hours reading wiki pages- ducks do have ears, it turns out

they get silver rings- gold is too heaven and nothing sparkles in hell

"you taste sweet" sorry, i know you don't like sweet- "i like you"

crow was made to create. with that taken from him he feels lost, don't know who he is. he threw himself into his work for hell at first but it quickly turned out to be not what he needed

god cast crowley out of heaven so that he would be free. the angels have made it abundantly clear that there is no place in heaven for questions

crowley can't change his eyes, but he can miracle an illusion over then if he needs to. it's very uncomfortable, like wearing sclera contacts

fake human au- az tries to find crow after he "dies" and is dismayed and confused that he's not in the archives at all. surely heaven keeps track of every human?

crowley fucks off to japan (sushi reminds him off az) until he has to go back to london

without the glasses in the way az can read him like an open book

crowley wills himself to sleep to avoid a conversation. becomes a snake, manifests eyelids just to make a point of having them closed

crowley tries to tell himself that demons don't feel guilty, but what better punishment is there than the constant feelings of doubt and regret?

being a snake is easier, since he doesn't have to deal with complicated human things like emotions and legs

crowley feels like his soul is dirty, az bathes him and tells him how much he loves him, even the dirty parts

coffee bad hot and does hurt on the mouth

my first relationship feel apart because of a lack of communication. i was touch starved and constantly sought contact with him. he took that as sexual interest and pushed me to "take the next step" and that terrified me. i didn't know how to say no so i broke it off

devil, devil go away, claim my soul another day

tbh 90% of the miscellaneous rhythm heaven trivia i know is just from wiki trivia points. if it's not a wiki trivia point currently then it probably was at one point lksdfjfkdsfslsfdj-

Thanks for being the first person to actually respond to this post!

You've got some interesting takes, but I did want to answer some concerns and give my perspective on a couple of points.

Game & Watch systems appear in the background of the Octo Expansion stage: "Ink & Watch Station." While they have a similar button layout to a couple of real-life Game & Watches, the color and gameplay don't match any existing Game & Watch, so it's probably original to the Splatoon universe, but this doesn't work against the "alternate Earth" theory.

2. I've always considered the Stanleys to be the same person, just hopping between worlds, but there is a case for the Stanleys being different instances of the same person.

Like you said, and in the video example, Flat!Mario and Super!Mario do coexist, but I think that they're still understood to be the same Mario just in a different instance. The same way that Mario and Baby Mario can coexist without explicit mention of time travel, I think that the same can be said of the Stanleys.

That said, there are also multiple instances of Mario that exist in Flat Land: There's the Mario from Mario Bros., who doesn't look like the Mario from Donkey Kong Jr., who REALLY doesn't look like the Mario from Mario the Juggler, who vaguely resembles the Mario abomination from the special version of Ball in the modern Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch, etc. Are these still the same Flat!Mario, just slightly shapeshifted or are these all different iterations too? Are the iterations that resemble Super!Mario actually the same Super!Mario, but he's just in Flat Land?

If Flat Landers can leave the Flat Zone, then other people might be able to enter it too. But, if people can also freely enter and exit the Flat Zone, then that makes a case for Stanley actually being an immigrant to the Flat Zone rather than the other way around since he has a semi-consistent non-Flat appearance and his spirit in Smash Bros. considers this version of him to be a part of the Donkey Kong series. (Notably, there is not a separate "Fumigator" spirit in Smash Ultimate and Greenhouse has no other representation in Smash except as one of Mr G&W's attacks).

It could be argued that Stanley must be a true Flat because he debuted in a Game & Watch game, but Luigi also debuted in a Game & Watch game, but the Luigi we know is obviously not native to the Flat Zone (unless you consider them different instances of the same person), so there's a case that "debut game" doesn't equal "home universe".

3. I don't disagree that Mario, DK, Wario, and Rhythm Heaven are all connected universes, but I also agree that the Flat Zone is likely a different dimension due to how different it is mechanically.

While Flats (usually Mr. Game & Watch himself) do appear in all of those universes, I think this is a case of dimension hopping rather than any Flat being actually native to that world (except Mr. Upbeat, but it's unconfirmed if he's a real Flat or just resembles one. In the same vein, the mobs in Warioware tend to resemble Flats but are unconfirmed to be real Flats).

In Rhythm Heaven's case, I always thought that Chef and Judge were the actual Chef and Judge rather than Mr. G&W himself, since it's technically only the Flat in the original Working Dough that is referred to as "Mr. Game & Watch" and he has a unique design not found in any Game & Watch game (and why should he be the only one allowed to travel dimensions XP).

The Rhythm Heaven wiki claims that even this Flat resembles Mario from Mario's Cement Factory, but I personally don't see it (this Flat is much skinnier and taller than Flat!Mario). If it's true though, then that opens up the possibility that Mr. Game & Watch is technically an iteration of Mario that just decided to change his name to set himself apart. Mr. Game & Watch isn't that far off from Mr. Video Game (one of Mario's original aliases).

In Super Paper Mario, one of the main plot points of the game is that you're travelling through different dimensions, unlike other Mario games where the wildly different locations are still a part of the same world. One of the areas in one of those dimensions not-so-coincidentally resembles the Flat Zone.

Canonically, the Ancients that created this area have had influence over several dimensions, so it's possible that the Flat Zone is either the original home of the Ancients or that it descended from their origin.

I brought up Princess Shokora and Shadoo as examples because they seem to have Mr. G&W's same shapeshifting ability while also appearing as shadowy figures, not necessarily because I think they're actually Flats.

For both of them, their abilities are considered "curses." That being the case, and assuming that these are G&W references, then the implication is that the Flat Zone has connections to arcane magic and dimensional travel.

Even in Super Smash Bros., most of the Subspace Emissary plot happens because Tabuu takes advantage of Mr. G&W's unique properties to extract the shapeshifting shadow bugs and said shadow bugs are described as a "primordial substance". So there are multiple Nintendo games which have the "Flatlanders have roots in ancient history and have unique properties alien to other worlds" interpretation.

Perhaps being flat is the trade-off for this ability. If you think about it, being able to exist as a 2-D being in 3-D space has to take an enormous amount of power, or it's an angel thing where Flats are so powerful and world bending, that seeing them as "Flat" is the only way 3-D beings can perceive them.

4. In conclusion, I think I agree with the interpretation that the Flat Zone is in another dimension, but exists within the larger Mario megaverse as an ancient civilization whose influence has affected the main Marioverse. I think anyone can come and go from Flatland as they please, so licensed characters are only visiting, and travelling between universes/dimensions is easy and common.

Game & Watch Fandom, Tell Me:

Where do you draw the lines in Game & Watch canon?

Are all the games canon regardless of the starring characters? Does this mean Charlie Brown and Mickey Mouse are canon to the G&W universe, or are licensed characters an exception? What about the special “anniversary” G&Ws for Mario and Zelda? Do those releases mean that the original SMB and LoZ are now canon to G&W lore? Were they always canon, since Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda already had G&W games before the anniversary releases?

Or, are the only games that are a part of the G&W canon the ones with original characters? If that’s the case, then does Stanley belong to the G&W canon or the Donkey Kong canon? Is there even a separate G&W canon or is Flatland just another of many universes that exists under the broader Mario canon?

Mario and company are shown to physically coexist with the Flats in Game & Watch Gallery 4 and in Rhythm Heaven Fever, *Mr. Game & Watch makes a physical appearance.

*Although he doesn’t resemble his Smash design, the character next to the “Dough Dudes” is referred to as “Mr. Game & Watch” through in-game notes. Whether this is actually the same Mr. G&W from Smash or a different Flat with the same name is currently unknown.

There are several other examples of Mr. G&W making cameos in other games, but he seems to *only appear in Mario and Mario-adjacent games.

*Game & Watch consoles also appear in Pikmin 2 and Splatoon 2, but these aren’t character appearances and serve mostly to confirm that both series take place on some version of Earth rather than any connection to the Game & Watch world.

What about references that don’t explicitly say they’re G&W references but are clearly inspired by them? What of Shadoo and the Ancients from Super Paper Mario, or the shop owner from Warioland 4? Are these just references to G&W or does their existence imply that in-universe, Flatland is an ancient civilization with strong arcane magic despite its primarily modern setting?

i love the wiki.

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

i think i just found my new favorite thing on the wiki like.

why does this have a citation.

why is this a needed citation-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

can't believe i almost forgot one of my favorite wiki trivia points.

it's not even an untrue statement i just really love the wording of "and the female functions like one" sflksdfjkldfsjfsdlsf-

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

i think the reason the wiki's wording of things is so funny to me is just cuz it always simultaneously uses a formal tone and a casual tone and i don't know how it does that- to be fair i do that too sometimes i think it's just the natural way to talk about funni moosic gayme.

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

why are these trivia points so long why do we need full paragraphs about this kind of thing-
