Wow, I didn't believe it at first but I eventually found the King Goomba pic he was talking about.  You can find it here.

Just click on the button near the bottom of the page to access the screenshots page, then just cycle through until you find it.

It looks...interesting.

I think they might be trying to compare it to the PSP.

I don't see why you couldn't post a link.  I'm actually very interested in seeing this thing.  ^_^

I looked around on GameFaqs, but I couldn't find it.

Mario Chat / Re: What do you consider canon?

Yeah, I happen to agree.  I already don't consider the spin-off games to be true (like I've said before).

And I actually had the same idea that AntiSonic had.  If Subcon really is the world of dreams then those dreams would be effected by reality in terms of a persons psyche.  So it would only make sense that some of those distant childhood memories from SMW2 could resurface in Mario's dreams.  And the theory that Birdo is a distortion of Yoshi would be a pretty good theory, except that Birdo is a completely different character in the "real world".  She's already been in Super Mario RPG as well as Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga.  Unless she was created in subcon, and then somehow escaped?  That would be an interesting plot twist.  ;-)

Anyway, I've always kinda wondered if SMW2 and Yoshi's Story should be taken seriously.  I mean they were "storybooks", so it's safe to assume that they distorted reality a bit.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they're not canon.  I'm just saying that because of their storybook nature that they may have exaggerated some aspects.  Forgive me if I sound like a hypocrite.

Well while we're on the topic of things being canon, here's a question that's been bugging me for a while.

In Mario Kary: Double Dash!! you can see that in the Yoshi ciruit (I forget the name) there is a Yoshi copter from SMW2 circling around overhead.  (And once again, this is a question of individual opinion).  Does anybody consider those transformations to be "true" or "accurate"?  I didn't before, but know the idea is kind of starting to grow on me.  What do you guys think?

Wow, thank you very much for all the compliments.

I know I have no chance of ever becoming a mod.  I just wanted to be aware of the necessary situations, just in case anything came up.  ^_^

Once again, thank you for the help.

Ditto.

I know this is a little off topic, but there have been alot more theories pointing towards the corpse outside of Kraid's lair being a Federation Trooper.  (Those are the guys that are being introduced in Prime 2)

Man, I don't trust the cartoons though.  I assume you're talking about the Mario Brother's Super Show and all those, because I'm not aware of any other show.  Anyway, my point is that the cartoons contradict the entire series, not just one game (Yoshi's Island).  So I don't consider them as having actually happened at all.  And as for the comics, I suppose you have a point, and once again I'm going to make an assumption that you're mostly refering to the small strips that used to appear in Nintendo Power.  However I don't think any of those comic strips should be acknowledged.  For example, fans of the Metroid series (such as myself ^_^) don't see the events in those strips having ever happened, otherwise we'd have to except the fact that Houston Armstrong was an actual character *shudder*.

But I'm getting waaaay off track.  My point was that since SMW2 came after the comics, and since it's an actual game as opposed a short little comic strip, then it should override the comics.  Kind of like how the Mario Advance series overrides the older games.  Or at least that's the impression that I've gotten from most of the fans.

Anyway, if I've missed something or just misunderstood, please except my apologise.

Lol, I saw that picture coming.

But I'm not so sure about Yoshi's Island rewriting the whole history.  Actually, if anything it seems to me that it acts like a bridge to fill in a bunch of the gaps formed by the comics and the games.  I guess I should probably explain.

So, the way I see it, Mario and Luigi were both born in the Mushroom Kingdom where they lived with thier actual parents until they were little kids.  Maybe around four or five (It was during this time that Mario met and "befriended" Wario).  Then after a short while, thier parents, as well as the Mushroom Royalty, saw that if the children stayed there then they would be in certain danger if Baby Bowser decided to strike back.  So they sent them to earth as a safety precaution until they reached the time when they were prophecised to return.

*Whew* Sorry to ramble on like that.  But anyway, I do see your point on not excepting it as canon.  Different strokes, I guess.  ^_^

Hmmm, I'd like to rephrase what I said about my opinion on what is and isn't canon.  The only games I view as canon are the platformers/sidescrollers and the RPGs.  With the obvious exceptions of Mario is Missing and Mario's Time Machine.
