2 Paper Marios Hypothesis

So Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam introduced a Paper Mario from another world that came from a book. This has lead many people to conclude that the Paper Games are not canon to the Canon of Mario Tales. However, I disagree with this and believe there is an alternative answer to this.

So I believe there are 2 Paper Marios, once from the Paper Jam Book, and the other is the Main Mario from all the games taking on a Paper form. So what do I mean by Paper form? Well on the back of the box of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door it says "Time passes, the pages turn...and a new chapter unfolds in an unfamiliar land! Get ready for a two-dimensional role-playing adventure for the ages as Mario returns to paper form to discover a mystery that sleeps behind an ancient, legendary portal called the Thousand-Year Door." This text alongside things like dev interviews has lead me and some others to believe the Main Mario is able to take on a Paper Form. This would be similar to the Pixel Form we know he can take on through various means.

So as for the Paper Jam Paper Mario. Something that goes overlooked or is seen as a continuity error in Paper Jam is the Sticker Crown Pokey showing up, when the Crown should only be around if some messed with the Sticker Comet. However, I think this is telling us that the events of Paper Mario: Sticker Star hasn't fully happened to this Paper Mario. This would also explain why there is no Paper Starlow running around. This Paper Mario has yet to go through the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

Now someone might point to Mario folding himself into an airplane in PMTTYD, the sentient Scissors, or the Paint and other craft themes of the Paper games and say Mario can't do that. But first off as established before, Mario more than likely can take on a Paper Form, but let's say he can't. This is a high fantasy world with man eating plants, alongside sentient talking trees and sunflowers, hexapod dragons, still living non-avian dinosaurs, reanimated skeletons, turtles that can remove their shells, straight up magic, clouds you can physically ride on, the ability to enter dreams, zippers on terrain you can unzip, swim through the air like a cartoon, be roll yourself up into a wall and use your body as an attack, be flattened like a pancake, or have your body turned into a pinball etc. So Mario being able change his body into an airplane is not too farfetched. Also, sentient scissors is not too different from Exor and Kleever. That and if I am correct the scissors were brought too life by the Fold of Life technique aka magic. Meanwhile paint and vim are a thing in the Mario world.

Now while someone might agree with all this, they may still contend that Sticker Star and Beyond is canon, and may insist it's part of the Paper Jam Continuity. Now as established before the Paper Jam Paper Mario is yet to go through the events of PMSS, there is something else here. We all know the original 3 Paper games referenced the events of the previous games several times. Parakarry shows up in PMTTYD, Kolorado is referenced by the presence of his father's skeleton, and there is a picture of the Paper Mario 64 characters. Meanwhile in Super Paper Mario Francis' Room has references to the previous games. Well turns out PMSS and Paper Mario: The Origami King do the same thing.

In PMSS in the Shy Guy Jungle's Trash Are you can find letters from Parakarry and Goombella which says the following. "Thank you for your letter. Sorry I'm not here to receive it, but I will get back to you shortly. Thanks." Parakarry "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the Chomp Ruins." University of Goom Goombella And in PMTOK we see photos of Peach from every single Paper Mario Games.

So there are 2 Paper Marios, and this also explains all the information in the main games and Paper games that point to them being canon.

hello, I’m Remy’s mom, and welcome to “the Marios”. I’m curating this blog so my boy can see safe content of his favorite characters, and I can have a visual record of the things he likes and occasionally what he likes about them. some quick info in case you’re browsing here:

- this blog is under my control and at no point will Remy be interacting directly on tumblr

- because of this, anyone can follow and interact with this blog. if you want, you can tag @the-marios in any art or content you see that he might like (I will obviously be checking it out first)

- if you do tag this blog, I will usually put those posts in the queue rather than reblog them outright since it’s easier to show him content in batches

- any and all Let’s Play video recommendations would be so appreciated. his current fixation is modded playthroughs of Super Mario Odyssey, one being a Baby Mario model swap playthrough, and the other being a Banjo Kazooie (“Bear Mario”) model swap playthrough.

- Remy cannot read yet, most of what is reblogged here is about the visuals

- I will sometimes like a string of posts from the Mario tags and get his thoughts in the tags before reblogging, I’m sorry if this is bothersome on notifications

His current favorite game is Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, but he also likes to watch videos about Mario Party, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and Super Mario Wonder.

His current favorite character is baby yoshi from TTYD, specifically the red baby yoshi. He also likes Madame Flurrie and Princess Daisy, but this changes often.

Remy’s other major fixation is roombas!

Thank you to all the talented artists and content creators out there who have shared anything that has helped me relate to Remy on his terms.

Why do theses direct have to be so good recently ? It's too good !

Like, PAPER MARIO TTYD REMAKE !! Guys it's happening ! The gasp I made when I saw it, jus the first two notes of the beginning theme, loved that game ! And now, it's beautiful in HD, I looove it.

This, and we got Mario RPG's remake that looking pretty nice, the Mario vs Donkey Kong, the final booster pass that added more character than that what I expected, the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, and finally that Princess Peach game !! I mean, it does look pretty easy and accessible to everyone, but that aside, what a charming game this look.

In short, I'm really hyped and happy.

VIDEO GAMES EXPERIENCE

Broke: Birdo is Birdetta's deadname (makes it seem like Mario and co. Have been deadnaming their friend for 30+ years which they would never do and is out of character for all of them)

WOKE: Her full preferred name is Birdetta, however she prefers to go by the shortened versions, Birdo and sometimes Birdie

I’m so glad Nintendo kept in Vivian being trans in the remake but it’s brought out the worst in the “anti-woke” crowd. She just straight up confirms it but these people plug their ears and go “lalala I can’t hear you it’s not real Nintendo doesn’t make gay/trans characters.”

MEANWHILE THIS GUY EXISTS

Tony is from Earthbound, a game made back in 1994 AND IS CANONICALLY GAY

Not to mention there are several unconfirmed (AND CONFIRMED) instances throughout other Nintendo games. Kinda sad watching them flounder tbh

In this video, I discuss the sneaky ways several video games use leitmotifs in more hidden or subtle ways rather, using examples from Undertale and Deltarune, the Persona series, the Mario RPGs, and a few examples from Pokemon! This video was a massive undertaking, and while it's by no means a comprehensive list, I hope that it's still an enjoyable watch!

I drew Vivian taking all the heat to protect Bridget from the transphobes since all the bigots are currently focusing all their hate on vivian

I also posted this on my secret Spanish language ban-evading account on Twitter @RikaChanDibujos 🤫

A few warmups I've done as a finish my semester in college. A lot of characters I've never drawn before in digital.

In some of the drawings I wanted to experiment with my brushes and try a different coloring technique with Kirby.

I also wanted to try imitating the particle effect on the Inside Out characters, though I guess I didn't quite achieve it.
