Very true.  But things don't go from cartoony and silly to realistic and serious when you fly from continent to continent.  Although, you're absolutely right about the possibility of multiple places existing in the same universe.  For example, I believe that the Donkey Kong games take place in the Marioverse.  I just don't think that Samus Aran is going to come blasting onto the scene right in the middle of a fight with Bowser, ya know?

SMW2 pretty much proves that they were born in the Mushroom Kingdom.  As for the subhuman theory, would Wario and Waluigi fit into this category too?  After all, they have some pretty super-human powers.

Thanks.  ^_^

If you want to see some more in-depth theorizing you should check out my site.  There should be a link to it in my profile.

So you believe that all the Nintendo games happen in the same universe?  Even the cartoonish (Kirby) and the realistic (Metroid)?

I personally believe that Smash Bros and Smash Bros Melee are in a timeline all their own.  In SSB I think it's pretty much been established that the characters were actually dolls brought to life by Master Hand.  And then in SSBM I think it was pretty much the same situation, only with trophies instead of dolls.

I have heard a theory, however, that the dolls/trophies acted as beacons that teleported the characters from their individual dimensions into the battlefields.  I believe it was Claws who came up with that particular theory, although I can't remember where I read it.

*spoilers*

One of the theories that I had, however, is that the Smash Bros games actually took place in Dreamland, or at least in a similar place.  I based this on the idea that dreams seem to be the only things that transend Nintendo universes.  There are Metroid enemies in the Kirby games (I forget which ones though), which happen in Dreamland.  There are Super Mario enemies in Link's Awakening, which turned out to be a dream.  And then, of course there was the Master Hand cameo in one of the new Kirby games (once again, I forget which one).  In short, I believe that the Smash Bros games might have taken place in a dreamlike dimension.

I know he's not african, I just didn't know how else to put it.

I try to be as politically correct as I can.

I agree, there's no way to be absolutely certain that the Mario Bros are human.  Although, I personally believe that both they and Il Piantissimo are.  I seem to remember Il Piantissimo having some sort of obsession with Mario (but I might be mistaken), so perhaps he worked out some way to imitate him.  Magic spell?  Devices in his shoes?  Who knows.

One thing I've noticed is that the Mushroom World seems to be filled with gifted individuals: the Mario Bros, Wario and Waluigi, Koopa the Quick, ect.  Perhaps Il Piantissimo is just another one of these individuals...who just happens to be a little bit nuts.  (easy way out, I know)

Maybe the gravity of the Mushroom World is slightly less than it is on Earth.  Since Mario and Luigi were raised on Earth, that could explain why they can jump so high and be so strong in the Mushroom World.  (Might also explain why they seem so short)

I agree with you whole-heartedly, CashCrazed.  ^_^

And Br0kebusta's idea of using our own world map as kind of a referance point for the Mushroom World was ingenius.  Or maybe that's not what he was trying to do at all...in any case, I give him credit.  lol

That coincides with my theory that the technology of the Marioverse wasn't developed, so much as found.  Perhaps Tatanga was a member of a race that previously had visted/inhabited the Mushroom World?

Thanks, Claws!  ^_^

I'm currently working on my second essay, detailing the level of technology in the Marioverse, it's effect on the cultures, and the origins of the tech itself.

Ok, so I don't even know if anybody cares anymore but I wrote a paper on the Koopa Kids and plan on writing more papers on the various topics in Mariology.  I created a blog to post them all on if anybody is interested.
