I suppose clouds can be sentient life forms just like Boos can be life forms. Maybe Ruff Puffs are related to Boos?

Isn't it already apparent that objects which are inanimate in our world can be alive in the Mushroom World?

Sigh. You think about these imaginary physics way too much to possibly enjoy the game.

Well actually, I collect the games sprites, so I appreciate the complexity of the games scenery.

And since I think about these things I geuss it means I'm a bigger Mario fan than most others, eh?

Yes the objects in the Mushroom World seem alive. So how is it possible?

Ah %$@& it I'm just going with the cloud creatures really just being cloud shapped outside and filled with air and organs inside.

I really can't agree with you being a "bigger Mario fan" since really you're just spending waaaay too much time thinking about stuff that will never be explained because it has no explanation.

What are Boos ghosts of, anyway? We've seen ghosts of Toads and Shy Guys, which were probably the most likely candidates. Maybe they're just born that way - they seem to have some concept of aging.

I've always thought of Boos as the ghosts of the millions of Goombas and Koopas Mario has stomped on, though I do remember one theory that somebody (not here) had: that the Boos are of the Shyguys, and King Boo (Luigi's Mansion) is actually Wart transformed into a Boo.

That theory made little sense to me, as there were already ghosts that were clearly Shyguys (or had been Shyguys) roaming about (in Luigi's Mansion and Yoshi's Island).

Maybe the Boos are just the projections of evil magic, very much how Redeads (Zelda) are animated magic.

Here's a Shyguy related question: What's behind a Shyguys' mask?

I think that Boos are their own species, a supernatural species, but still a species

As for the thing about the Shyguy masks, well, some things are best left unknown.

Here's a theory: Shyguys are actually Goombas from Subcon in disguise. Why are they in disguise? Well maybe they were just Wart's troops and their garments are mandatory to wear for Wart's troops as a sign of allegiance to Wart's army; a uniform of sorts. The Shyguys from YI were sent to the mushroom kingdom on a special mission- possibly to conquer the land.

Perhaps the mask is actually their face. That would explain why Luigi was so surprised at the sight of an unmasked Shyguy at the end of Mario tennis.

The only problem with the Goomba thing is that fact that Shy Guys have visible arms, and their behavior is different from that of a Goomba.

I think it conceals something unfit for mortal eyes.

In Luigi's Mansion, vaccumming off the mask of a ghost shy guy will reveal a dark face with scary eyes or something, but I'm not sure about the real thing.

So Luigi is immortal, then? :p

Perhaps the Goombas from Subcon are an entirely different sub-species of Goomba native to Subcon (Or maybe the Goombas are the sub-species) with arms and different behaviors?

yoshimastar · « **Reply #1092 on:** February 02, 2007, 08:29:40 PM »

Or shy guys arn't goombas since their body shapes don't look alike in any way at all.

Fwirt · « **Reply #1093 on:** February 02, 2007, 11:16:15 PM »

Maybe Shy-Guys are a reclusive cult of Toads.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #1094 on:** February 02, 2007, 11:44:24 PM »

They aren't Goombas, because they have arms.
