The Mario from Super Mario Bros 1 through to Galaxy 1 is canonically fucking dead. The galactic explosion at the end of the game killed everyone and remade them. However, as Rosalina explains at the end, the circle of life and rebirth means that those reborn are not quite the same as they were. Replaying these games now and it only really struck me when I started playing Galaxy 2 and Captain Toad and the gang outright introduce themselves like they're meeting for the first time. Well of course they are, this is a NEW Mario who was born after the last one disintegrated into cosmic matter. Does this bother anyone else? It's actively disrupting my enjoyment of Galaxy 2.
>>722868389I’ll never be able to see these games the same way again.
>>722868670I mean it isn't news. Hell, at the end of the first game Mario outright says >WELCOME NEW GALAXY!! It just took until the second game to sink in what that actually means.
>>722868389Mario deserved disintegration after getting high on Peach's fart gas in the basement of Peach's Castle in Mario 64.Knowing this, my enjoyment of Mario Galaxy 2 (and subsequent Mario games) has increased.
>>722868389> but it's just a theory, a GAME theory
Problem is that nintendo is overpricing this stuff
>>722868389A fitting metaphor for the Mario Mandate.
>>722870954>Theory The ending shows the universe collapsing and restarting, complete with a new Big Bang. What do you think this is? https://youtu.be/u-W28ZDcXJc?si=5jbzH-NBUiYe8R7x&t=360
So reboot Mario is a cuck?
>>722871289Name one thing of equal quality you can buy for less money.I accept your concession in advance.
>>722868389I hate to break it to you, FAGGOT, but there is no Mario canon and none of the games are connected.
>>722868389Dumbass. Galaxy 2 is just a story Rosalina wrote for the Lumas about the events of Galaxy. It's fiction within fiction.
>>722868389I can't believe it. Mario is fucking dead
>>722874285The originals.
maybe it was all a dream?
>>722874285Your momAlso this >>722875360And, >>722875645, you mean like SMB2 (US)?
>>722874285>it's okay to hold games hostage
>>722874389My meta analysis, noooooo!
Amazing how SM64 is still the bestbut also sad... black pill
>>722874389>>722868389It's true. Miyamoto said that the characters and plot are nothing more than actors in a play. Nothing is canon. They act out stories and then spend time playing sports.
>>722868389If you're seriously going to "Zelda timeline" this shit and have multiple timelines, it can be used to explain why there's young Pauline going on an adventure with DK, and adult Pauline getting kidnapped by DK.
>>722876251>nothing is canonso how about I don't buy your games then anymore, and play fan games instead?
>>722874861Okay, even if you remove Galaxy 2 that just means that the Mario from 3D Land/World onwards is the new guy. It doesn't change the fundamental issue with Galaxy 1's ending. Everyone lost, the original Mario universe was annihilated. >>722874389>>722876251No, there is absolutely continuity between the two Galaxy games. One of the early stars in 2 is "Bugaboom's Back", which of course implies that his appearance and defeat in the first game is canon.
>>722871289go be brown somewhere else
>>722873225lmao he literally just fucking dies
I thought it was more like time travel.
>>722868389>the circle of life and rebirth means that those reborn are not quite the same as they were
>>722877991Exactly. How did Nintendo get away with it?
>>722868389Don’t worry, Mario isn’t real, but if he real, dying wouldn’t have hurt.
