in the Yoshi's island games it says Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom with 2 Toad's for parents.

That may be wrong.. We can't see the upper half of the parents during the ending for YI. For all we know, the parents aren't mushroom people, but humans living in the Mushroom Kingdom. Yes they do live in a mushroom house and all..

I was thinking. Since in Luigi's version of Super Mario Galaxy after you've completed it, you still have to rescue Luigi. This got me thinking, since all it is is just a copy of Mario's adventure, could it be that Luigi's SMG adventure is nothing but a figment of Luigi's imagination? You know, like Luigi is imagining what it would have been like to go on that adventure himself? Just a thought.

No clue about the two Luigis thing, but since playing SMG I do have a theory on the whole "Mushroom Earth/ Brooklyn" thing. Maybe our earth is just another planet in the Mario universe. Humans originated on one planet, and travelled to another...

Makes sense when you see Goombas on different planets.

Mario's Earth looks pretty fragging similar to our Earth, though. My guess is either multiple universes/parallel dimensions (Mario's solar system looks radically different than ours as well) or Mario's world being located on that one side of the globe that's nothing but water (which is improbable, because all the territory Mario has ever set foot on over the years is a pretty fragging big total, and probably way too much to fit on our Earth along with our continents).

I wonder if Miyamoto knows that you guys spend so much time theorizing this stuff... (btw I didn't mean that as an insult..)

Well, I have a question on spinoffs.

Usually in Mario spinoffs, like the sports...party games etc..there is the original group of characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi..) then you have a few extras like Daisy, Waluigi, and a few others.

Well, lets take Daisy and Waluigi for example. The only time you ever see them is in Spinoffs, they are NEVER in the RPG's or story games, or any original adventure game for Mario.

It started to make me wonder, are they even real? I know it's sort of a dumb question but...if Spinoffs are made just for fun, and have nothing to do wit h the canon or permanent story arc, then their really just nothing but extra characters for the non-canon games.

Its like...they don't even exist or something. I know Daisy came out in Super Mario Land, which is pretty much a story arc game (I think) but still, it seems like she, waluigi, and other of the spinoff characters don't really exist. And they are only around for the unserious or noncanon series.

Maybe its true what some people say, they are just fillers afterall. It kind of makes me sad but, it's probaly the honest truth.

Ah, but you are forgetting that there is no such thing as a canon Mario game.

I never heard anyone say that...

With all the contradictions in many games and sources put out by Nintendo, shouldn't it be self-evident that there is no "Mario Cannon"?

Take this for instance. What is "cannon" what isn't? It is impossible to tell, as far as I reckon. I side with Chup: there's no such thing as "Mario Cannon."

off topic- how did this "what is light purple?" title get under my name, when I didn't even put it there. Kind of scary.

So I guess that means there is no reason to question Mario games at all, if it's not canon. Well, at least the background and stuff.

Right! :D

Chupperson has been saying this for 97 pages. Don't let it stop you now.

Another theory I got of SMG. Is it possible that neither the Luigi that Mario or Luigi Rescues is the Real Luigi?

Also I get the feeling that pirhanna Plants are not actually plants, but reptiles that have evolved to have camouflage to look Like plants.

Your thoughts please?

The Chef · « **Reply #1452 on:** January 05, 2008, 12:28:09 PM »

My thoughts? That part of the game shouldn't be taken into consideration. Piranha Plants are plants. The Mushroom World seems to house even stranger creatures than that, so coming up with a physiology for them as plants shouldn't be that hard.

Toad · « **Reply #1453 on:** January 06, 2008, 07:07:42 PM »

Pirahna Plants are highly adaptive plants that can evolve to live practically anywhere. There are versions of them that live above ground, underground, underwater, upside down, near lava, and in practically every soil type inbetween desert and ocean. Some can even live in space!

I sort of thought Mario Galaxy would have some kind of connection to the Mario Kart series with a Rainbow Road themed level/world/galaxy, but I guess that was just me thinking it would've been super epic (to include references to all the other Mario games..)

Is Petey Piranha a plant? He can walk around and move and stuff like that.
