By the way, Kamikaze, I'm thinking about creating a Mario website all about continuity issues such as what we're discussing now. I don't yet know how to, but when I learn, if my plans ever come to fruition, and if you'd like, you could be on the staff or something. Just a thought. Currently I'm very busy, so it could be a while before anything concrete is done.
Anyone have any ideas as to how these creatures originated? I'm willing to believe they were created by the Star Spirits or a similar supreme being or beings. Magic is always a viable option in the Mushroom Dimension; much of what happens there is based on supernatural forces. So it is highly probable that some races did originate from magic.
When I say Mushroom "Dimension," I'm talking about the Mushroom Kingdom, Beanbean Kingdom, Sarasaland, etc. Anything on what has been referred to as Mushroom "Earth" and the surrounding physical universe. (Because I know I've heard characters in the game refer to earth, and there's no way it could be our earth.) This Mushroom Dimension is connected to ours through a few tears in the dimensional fabric; known ones include a trans-dimensional warp pipe in Donkey Kong Island's Kongo Jungle, which is in our dimension, off the coast of Africa (refer to Mario Party's DK's Jungle Adventure board for a glimpse at this pipe), and one at an undisclosed location in Brooklyn, New York. Most of you probably knew all this, but I'm just making sure.
