Ok, so I don't know about everybody else but I personally have always had an interest in the workings of the Mario universe (AKA "Mariology"). So I decided to start this thread up in hopes of providing a place for people to have some actual serious discussions about the topic at hand.
Now, I know alot of you are saying "But Miyamoto has specifically said that Mario has no set storyline or any set rules". But I say who cares? That doesn't mean we can't still post out own theories and ideas about stuff.
Anyway, I wanted to start things off with a topic that's been bugging me for a while, which is, what exactly is the situation with humans in the Marioverse? I personally believe that the majority of the humans in the Mushroom Kingdom have been wiped out. After all, we know that there obviously are humans in the Marioverse, as rare as they may be. For example, we have Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Mario and Luigi (of course), Il Piantissimo, and we see Mario and Luigi's parents at the end of Yoshi's Island. So I'm thinking that there used to be a large number of humans in the Mushroom Kingdom but they have all since been wiped out. Possibly by a previous war or maybe even a plague.
Anyway, please feel free to reply and post your own ideas. Although, like I said in the title, I'd appreciate it if we kept this a serious thread and not have people saying "here's the perfect explanation, it's a game".
