I changed my post to include Tetris Attack on my order.

Bowser is an adult in Tetris Attack. Should it be placed near Yoshi's Topsy Turvy?

Bowser was an adult in Tetris Attack, but that was before he knowed Mario in SMB, I think that between Tetris Attack and SMB just goes some months, not years.

The games happen in the order they were released, with the exception of Yoshi's Island and other games that specifically give their position in the storyline.

That's what I think. There is really no need to switch the games around like that although when people do that it is interesting.

Interesting indeed. I was thinking about using the 'multiverse' concept to settle the 'sequel problem'.

If the game happened in the order that they were released we have problems like when Mario has a castle in SML2 while he lives in his house on the RPGs, and Bowser switching from Koopalings to Baby Bowsers to Bowser Jr. to Koopalings to Baby Bowsers to Bowser Jr. again.

The Chef · « **Reply #52 on:** July 08, 2006, 07:51:19 AM »

I have an easy way to fix that. SML2 takes place in another universe where Mario is a king, and the old Mario games with the Koopalings are in a different universe from the newer ones with BJ. It's easy and interesting. It could make a good guideline for writing fanfiction.

I hate multiverses, they' re a bad excuse for no continuity.

The Chef · « **Reply #54 on:** July 08, 2006, 05:03:36 PM »

But as Myamoto stated, there is no continuity. I like multiverses because they free things up when it comes to things such as writing fanfiction, where you could decide when or where it takes place. It could even allow a writer to create his/her own variation on the Mario universe without negating the fact that a preset universe already exists. Hence the term, Multiverse. Besides, isn't 'hate' too strong a word?

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #55 on:** July 09, 2006, 12:29:32 AM »

It's easy enough to say that SML2 makes absolutely no sense within the rest of the Mario games and leave it at that.

The Chef · « **Reply #56 on:** July 09, 2006, 07:53:54 AM »

Then it would have to be separate from everything else and the only way I can think of doing that is saying in was in another universe. Then again, SML2 was made before Mario was ver shown living in a house. Maybe Gunpei Yokoi wanted to give Mario his own "Fortress of Solitude" or something.

If you exclude SML2 you have also to exclude SML (Its directly referenced on the manual) and all the Wario series (They directly reference SML2).

The Chef · « **Reply #58 on:** July 09, 2006, 02:03:48 PM »

The only Wario game that references SML2 is SML3/WL, it can be considered a SML trilogy. Daisy could easily be the alternate universe counterpart of Peach, ya know.

It could all be one universe, but with different princesses.
