I like Miyamoto's explanation that the Mario crew are more like a theater troupe. So Bowser isn't really a bad guy, he just plays one in the games.

I found that quote and also one about Dr. Mario:

quote:

: As to Mario taking on other odd jobs, such as a doctor and Olympian, the designer said that Mario has always been "blue-collar."

"He's hard-working, and certainly much more physical in nature," he said. "So, I think that a doctor is sort of an unexpected and perhaps unbelievable role for Mario. Perhaps the Dr. Mario you're thinking of was maybe, in some way, not necessarily legitimate."

Dr. Mario is a loving fraudulent back-alley surgeon without a medical license

Even more games for the 3DS is Good. they're treating it the exact opposite of the original Wii and that's great (in the wii's final year+ the amount of content just plummeted into nothing)

Excuse me, it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario and no one will tell me different.

Also Mario is not a certified physician and I definitely would not seek medical attention from him.

OKAY. i've analysed the Super Mario Odyssey trailers and gameplay footage and i can conclude that this is set BEFORE DONKEY KONG. this is the first game in the super mario saga. pauline doesnt know mario from what i can tell, donkey kong probably kidnaps her after mario helps out during Odyssey. however, the big emotional storytelling crux is that this is the origin of the bowser feud. basically bowser and peach are in love and are getting married (note, theres no koopa kids) and mario is just straight up against that for weird uncomfortable reasons and thus goes well out of his way to ruin their big day.

the timeline is like this:

Super Mario Kart Saga + all the fun sports titles (because bowser and mario are friends) THEN the events of SMO happen - this leads us to the original donkey kong and then into the SUPER PLATFORM SAGA into 64 and galaxy. (sunshine is excluded from official canon) i think the events of SMASH BROS occur after the the main platform saga.

I'll give more of my thoughts after my 12 hour youtube analysed footage has been processed, but spoiler alert! F-ZERO AND METROID TAKE PLACE 100 YEARS BEFORE MARIO KART

he was never rescuing her

Miyamoto explained this all before. Bowser and Mario and Peach are actors and the stories of the games are dramatizations. They're coworkers and that's why in their off hours they play together.

If Pauline sings the main song for Mario Odyssey, does that mean Mario can possess Pauline and sing the song himself?

I just realized:

New Donk City.

Pauline and the New Donk Players.

Donkey Kong.

I know that Donkey Kong was originally named such because Miyamoto thought donkeys were stubborn and that described Donkey Kong or whatever, but if they're retconning the original Donkey Kong this is one hell of a way to do it.
