Then don't bother trying to make the storylines work. It's a waste of time.
> And as for the comics, I suppose you have a point, and once again I'm going to make an assumption that you're mostly refering to the small strips that used to appear in Nintendo Power.
No, I'm referring to the ones published by Valiant.

Oh, revisionist history? Wonderful. This in itself proves the next point.
> I mean seriously, you trust some cartoon company more than Nintendo themselves? Pah.
Well, I don't trust Nintendo either. There is no canon. We've been over this before regarding Donkey Kong. There are certain themes that stay relatively consistent among the games, but there isn't a consistent story line. At all. We already know what Miyamoto said about this.
