SLAVERY!

And Mario was called "the visitor from Brooklyn" in the SM64 guides intro.

It also said that he was from Brooklyn in the SMB instructions as well as the Super Show, but these were proposed by the nutjobs at NOA's marketing team, meaning that it probably has no significance in today's Mario franchise.

I thought that would be DIC's doing, not NOA.

The Chef · « **Reply #1008 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:22:58 PM »

I thought NOA came up with the idea, and DiC just used it in the cartoon.

The "background information" given in most game guides is not reliable. It's just there for reading pleasures.

This is very interesting. :) The only thing I've ever wondered about the Marioverse is...well...does the Mushroom Kingdom have any defenses? I mean, Bowser and the Koopa Kingdom have a mighty invasion force that has yet to fail to conquer them. Shouldn't they have some sort of military force?

P.S.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the button for startin ga new topic? I can't find it. :_:

And sometimes it's considered canon, like the stuff in the Star Fox 64 guide.
There isn't much of a Mario canon, though.

How physically strong is Mario? He can toss Bowser in SM64 (the guy must have been at least 1 ton) and knocked over castles in SMW and didn't he once destroy a star by throwing a turtle shell into it?

This is why Mario is like a cartoon.

The Chef · « **Reply #1015 on:** January 05, 2007, 03:50:05 PM »

My guess is that humans in the Mushroom Kingdom usually have superpowers, such as Peach's healing abilities and Wario's extreme physical strength.

WRONG

It didn't? Oops, my mistake. <:D

Mario could toss Bowser because he had around 120 power stars inside him. Also explains the jumping and acrobatic skills.

Except Mario could toss Bowser even if he had 8 stars.
