lol, I take it from the lack of members that nobody is really interested in my Mariology forum.

What kind of moves would he have, though?  Wario is really strong, and Waluigi is...?

Yeah, I've always felt the same way about Snifits and Shyguys.  And I think it's always been pretty much assumed that they shoot from their mouths and not their noses (which they don't seem to have).  One thing has always bothered me, though.  Which is, where do they actually come from?  I know some people have said that they come from the Toybox in Paper Mario, but I personally tend to think that they originated from a tribal background on Yoshi's Island.  I think that all shyguys started out as spearguys, but then Kamek started enslaving/enlisting them all to do his dirty work.  I think that's where the masks come from, it's their tribal heritage.

By all means, if anybody else wants to join up that would be great.  There more the merrier.  ^_^

By the way, this is by no means trying to draw attention away from the Fungi Forums.  It's simply a brother site for those who choose to go there.

Like I said, currently there is nothing there.  And I mean nothing, so by all means post something.  ^_^

w00t!  One hundred posts!  ^_^

Anyway, in regards to Claws' earlier question; I have two theories on the matter of the monster's origins.

A) They were created by the beings who inhabit the Star Road (i.e. Geno and Smithy, I know it wasn't actually them but just so you would know who I'm talking about).

B) They were created through magic by the same race that built/enchanted the warp pipes.  (No, I don't belive the pipes are a naturally occuring phenomenon)

I don't think he's anatomically built like a Toad (Toads don't have ears or noses for starters).  It's a good theory, and actually one that I've heard before, but I think there are just too many physical differences between the two.

Funny you should mention that, Claws.  I actually created my own Mariology message board quite a while ago but never had anybody to join.  It's currently devoid of any threads or *ahem* members, although now it seems like it might have some promise after all.  I don't have a link to it right now but I can have one up by tomorrow if you would like.

Claws and I think alike.  ;-)

As for actual species, has anybody played a game called Mageknight?  In their universe all the monsters and creatures are called "magespawn" and were created through magic, not through natural evolution.  I tend to think that most Super Mario monsters are the same way, seeing as how we tend to only see one of them ever and then they're gone.  So I don't think that they are natural races but rather monsters created through manipulative magic, possibly even from tampering with certain natural animals.

As for the actual races, my list consists of these:
Toads
Beanbeans (or are they just Beans, I don't remember?)
Koopas
Goombas
Yoshis
Shyguys (and all their variations, that includes snifits)
Humans (even though you only ever see them in Wario games I still like to think they're there)
Boos
Bandits
Those Mice from SMW2 and PM.

*whew* There are still too many to name, and I only listed some of the sentient races.  I'll try and work up a more comprehensive list.

So, we've discussed the cultures of the Marioverse (to an extent).  How about the biology?

That's a good theory, Claws.  ^_^

But wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that if they did, in fact, have the capacity to build cities and have advanced forms of technology then there wouldn't BE any under-developed villages in the kingdom?  I mean, why would you keep the villages of your country in a medival state if they could obviously be improved?

Ah yes, Wario Ware.  But yeah, I don't really think Glitzville counts simply because it's so small.

But all this raises a seirous question about the Marioverse, which is: How advanced are the cultures in general?  I think it's pretty safe to say that the Beanbean Kingdom is realtively advanced technologically, we see this when visiting the Woohoo Hooniversity in M&L:SS.  But what about the Mushroom Kingdom and the Koopa Klan?

I've always thought about that same thing!  And you also can't forget Diamond City (I think that's what is was called) from Wario Land 4.  But yeah, the levels of technology have always been a big issue for me.  I've always imagined the Marioverse as being in sort of a medival era, or at least a renaissance (sp?), but once Mario Sunshine came out that theory kind of got shot to bits.  And it does seem plausible that Toad's Turnpike is somehow connected to Mushroom City.

Anyway, to answer your question, no I don't believe the cities have been mentioned in any other games.
