To be honest, I never noticed this either until I read this post just now..  But all the same, I never questioned it or thought about it either. The name just never struck me as anything peculiar so I just never connected two and two.. |

How about this? How come shyguys are from Mario's dream, yet they show up in later games?
Unless Mario knew about them before his dream. |

Another thing. I thought Mario was from New York in which both Mario and Luigi got sucked into a pipe bringing them to the Mushroom Kingdom. Also he fought against Donkey Kong at this time as well. This is where Yoshi's Island confused me. Also at that time, he would have had infancy amnesia. |

Posted by Sgraff87Okay, just stop there. I think we can safely say that Mario's past prior to SMB1 is entirely made up and completely bullshit. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by XkeeperPosted by Sgraff87Okay, just stop there. I think we can safely say that Mario's past prior to SMB1 is entirely made up and completely bullshit. Quite frankly. I liked the idea that Mario was not from the Mushroom Kingdom. Also, why does Mario use hammers for weapons and not plungers and wrenches like a plumber should? |

I have to second that motion, X.. Mario has no history, he's just a mascot who gets thrown into a bunch of random nonsensical and unrelated plotlines. (And I use the term plotlines very, very loosely..) |

There are many possible explanations for where Mario comes from.
I just really, really dislike the "fat plumber in Brooklyn" one. (That, and there is no spoo-- I mean, uh, no official one) 'sides, Yoshi's Island took up where Mario came from. Storks! ____________________ I dealt with it. |

I never even knew that it was called "Subcon."
Well! |

This was always what I believed the story was behind SMB.
-Mario's fights Donkey Kong to save his girlfriend. -Mario and Luigi take DK back. DK Jr. frees DK from his cage. -Mario and Luigi goes into the sewers under Brooklyn to fix the pipes and find strange creatures start to come from the pipes. They both fight them off. -Mario and Luigi are sucked into a pipe by magic and find themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom. -Mario and Luigi hear about the plight about Princess Toadstool and go out to rescue her. -The brothers stay in this world either because of their own decision or because they cannot return back to NY. -Mario dreams of the Subcon. -Bowser and his 7 children take over the kingdoms of the Mushroom World. Mario and Luigi stop him. After the NES series, things get fuzzy storywise. |

Posted by KlesThe creatures you rescue at the end are called "Subcon" too (watch the credits) Of course, this information is of potentially crappy merit. Consider that Birdo is aparrently Ostro and vice-versa, for example. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Well, I guess that someone were up late at night, and had names but not which ones where which and only had two slots left. D: Ostro looks like a ostrich, which is a type of big bird after all.
Sgraff87: Someone extended on that story and involved Yoshi Island into the mix. D: ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

You know, the only thing Yoshi's Island really says about their origin is that they were both BORN in Mushroom Kingdom, not that they had to grow up there. So if you really wanted to try and piece the non-existent plot together just for kicks like I like to do, I've always thought of it this way.
Mario and Luigi were both born in mushroom kingdom and all of Yoshi's Island takes place. However, due to the prophecy about the two, not to mention all of the drama that just took place surrounding it, its apparent that if they stay in mushroom kingdom while they are young and vulnerable that their lives are in danger. So its decided by the yoshis, Mario and Luigi's parents, (and possibly other members of the mushroom kingdom but who knows), that the best thing to do is to transport them to our world where they will be safe, until the time comes when they are needed in Mushroom Kingdom. Hmm, this sounds a lot like the Mario movie plot with Daisy actually. Smuggling them over to the other side. All the more reason for me to like it. I actually like to consider the movie as part of the Mario canon as well, though in its own bizarre way. Not like the rest of the game canon makes any more sense anyway. Anyway, so they are transported to our world, but why Brooklyn specifically? I like to believe that Mario and Luigi's Mushroom Kingdom parents are actually originally from Brooklyn as well and got transported to mushroom kingdom at some point in their lives. They were happy, settled down, and eventually gave birth to our heroes. So when it became apparent that they would need to go back to our world to protect their children, why not choose where they were originally from? Either that, or as the movie sort of suggests, if Mushroom kingdom is sort of a parallel universe to our own, then that paticular part of Mushroom Kingdom just happens to occupy the same space as Brooklyn. Personally I'd say both. With all of that in mind then it would seem to make more sense that there is a portal between the two worlds that is open and one can traverse at will. However, if so, then either Bowser doesn't know about it or more likely, there is something that makes it impossible for Bowser to use it. Perhaps we can still go by the whole "the princess is the only one who can make a portal between the two dimensions" thing, as it seems that only the good guys have been able to go back and forth between Brooklyn and Mushroom Kingdom. And Bowser has never contemplated taking over our world except if you count the movie. Hmm, wait a minute, then we have to consider Mario Is Missing. Okay, maybe not Impossible for Bowser, but difficult? Ah well, thats just a part of my little theory. Posted by Sgraff87The rest of this still stands. I think the Mario canon somewhat flows together (assuming of course that you think of it pretty imaginatively) until about Mario 64, then just about everything really is just completely random. Either that or I just don't care beyond that point to bother trying having any of it make sense. Phew, that's my longest post to date! |
