I try to forget Sunshine ever existed. Not the best mario game. I didnt really think it had a real timeline, at least I never put much thought into it. It might be interesting to see what unfolds here.

Oh I will for only Super Paper Mario had an interesting story. The rest were just same old "omg peach kidnapped! gotta go save her!" though I'll give TTYD some credit for actually having a reason for it.

Didn't Shigeru myamato once say that Mario games are staged acts, by that explaining how bowser is in game a the enemy and in game b just a character like in Mario Kart, but that's just a theory a game theory. Explain the super smash bros fits in Nintendoverse in the mean time.

I know this thread is just a joke.

But why do people insist on developing timelines for everything?

That timeline seems very legit to me!

Personally I'd enjoy reading a well thought out theory as to how all the Mario games are connected. I might be one of the few though

Also explains why Mario isn't traumatized by the slaughter of countless Goombas, Koopas, Shy Guys, and Bob-Ombs.
