Where do you think Goombas and Koopa Troopas and all the rest of Mario's enemies came from?

What was the crazy idea Bowser had when he created Hammer Bros.?

Please post your replies to this; and try to make this creative!

After playing Yoshi's Island I came up with the idea that there are two forms of life in Mario's World.

Natural birth and Magical birth
All life originates form the dream like world visited in smb2 know as Sub-Con.

Natural birth occurs when a life or soul departs from Sub-Con to travel Star Road, the palace where wishes are granted, and eventually carried off by a stork (as in Yoshi's Island) to their new family or place in life.
Mario, the mushroom people, almost everything from friend to foe alike originate from natural birth.

Magical birth is when life is summoned to an inanimate object, this pulls directly form Sub-Con without the travel that occurs for natural birth.
Summoning life can be done by someone with magical power like Kamek or Smithy.
Shyguys and elemental enemies are good examples of magical birth.
Boos and other super natural enemies might be the result of magical birth, but unlike most magical birth they are not summoned into a physical form. However the super natural in Mario's World may be similar to how we think of the super natural and thus have little to nothing to do with magical birth, Iâ€™m undecided on this.

Shyguys are ducks in cloaks and masks. Didn't you hear them in Mario Tennis? They quack! For goombas, I like to use this analogy: Goombas:Mushroom People as Chimpanzees:Humans. Koopa Troopa are just intelligent turtles. And Hammer Bros. are just intelligent turtles with head protection that throw hammers.

What about Para-Goombas? I'd say they would be the next step up after Goomba.

Well, I know Goomba was a Mushroom that betrayed the Mushroom Kingdom.

Todd: that is correct about the Goomba. Also, the Koopas were originally just a tribe, with Bowser as their leader, but now the tribe has grown to more like a kingdom, and he is King Koopa.

Just to let you know, my reply about goombas and koopas was based on what I remember from the SMB manual, years ago when I first got the game. I don't write fanfic or anything like that, I don't read it either, I'm not that sad.

I do have a life if you look at my post there usually in two or three minute bursts and then I leave for 1 or 5 days.
