Interesting Mario theory I saw on YouTube.

Do you guys think the theory is correct? It would explain why the Piantas were so useless and brainless.

Every single Mario game ever is a Show. They are all actors in a play/show. Miyamoto confirmed this by saying that is why Bowser appears in games like Mario Kart. It's why there is curtains in SMB3 and a audience in Paper Mario.

Why, for instance, does Mario play tennis and go golfing with Bowser, who regularly invades his adoptive homeland and kidnaps his girlfriend? Miyamoto said he thinks of them like cartoon characters such as Popeye the Sailor and perpetual rival Bluto, who might be buccaneer rivals in one episode and reluctant roommates in another.

"I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games," Miyamoto said. "It's more like they're one big family, or maybe a troupe of actors."
