SMG Intro... spoilers for the intro obviously:

Nintendo really doesn't care about the story. They come up with the gameplay, then a scenario. Continuity is, at best, a tertiary concern (lower if you consider level design separate from gameplay).

While traveling through the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario stumbled upon a wormhole that sucked him in, spitting him out in an alternate version of the Kingdom where the Festival had not occurred yet.



My friend is an idiot. He kept playing Tetris because I told him there was an endboss.

Are you sure that music doesn't have more priority than the story?

"At best" being the operative word here, dtewi. It sinks ever lower the more you include.

No, it's supposed to be in a different universe where SMG didn't happen.

There is no timeline in Mario |:



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Well, it's like Zelda you see, it's a different mario from the split timeline that occured when he killed gannon in the future after gannon already conquered hyrule producing...wait.....fuck it, did you eat the hot pepper yet with yoshi? Damn ass cool.
