Mario Bros. Mario was already big. Picrel destroys the myth that he wasn't big until the mushroom in Super Mario Bros 1-1.
“I see” said the blind man to the deaf guy
Damn, dude. Doctorate theses are really scraping the bottom of the barrel of novel ideas.
>>12494215We always referred to small Mario as "baby Mario" and big Mario as just Mario.
>>12494215The bigger question here is how did he get small between Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.? Is there a lost episode that explains it?
>>12494305He was working on the plumbing when he was suddenly bitten by a piranha plant, turning him small. After this he realized something was wrong and set off on his adventure to check on the Princess.
>>12494215No, he's not taller on Mario Bros. That is not a koopa, it's a 'shellcreeper' and they seem to be slightly smaller than a goomba. Look at that POW over Mario, Mario almost fits inside it, he's small Mario there. The reason he's a bit smaller in SMB is because he lost weight. It's pretty noticeable.
>>12494514Pipe sizes also confirm though.
>>12494557Have you even played the game? That warp pipe is clearly not meant for big Mario, but for the smaller enemies. There's many instances throughout the series of differently sized pipes that mainly adjust to the entities that use them.
>>12494562Super Mario Maker isn't canon anon. It's just a bunch of random shit they threw together to let retards make levels without knowing how to ROM hack.
>>12494581>shellcreepers and koopas being differently sized it's not canonMario Maker might be retarded but it's directly based off Mario's canon. Nintendo is really stubborn with keeping Mario's universe almost boringly consistent. You can perfectly recreate most of the first game inside it so I'd say it's canon at least up until SMB. Look at this official art from way back then and repeat what you said in the OP to me with a straight face.
>>12494215He became big after DK94Just watch the final cutscene
>>12494581>Super Mario Maker isn't canondoes it look like an RPG to you, anon?
>>12494256The practice of diploma mills churning out paperweight degrees won't be declared as officially over until somebody refines the "Mario, the Idea vs. Mario, the Man" shitpost into an actual academic paper that will not only get submitted as an completely unironicly doctorate thesis, but also get approoved as a valid study topic by a committee of some post-modernist chucklefucks forming a taxpayer-funded circlejerk at said diploma mill.
>>12494557Pipe comes in different sizes retard, the one in Mario Bros is obviously a smaller diameter.
>>12494215OP here, ready admit to my retardation. Upon further review of the evidence, Mario Bros. Mario was in fact SMALL. It's especially evident when you compare the brick sizes. Mario Bros. Mario would have clearly fit inside a single tile of bricks, just like small Super Mario Bros. Mario, while big Mario was the size of two.
>>12496475>Mario Bros. Mario would have clearly fit inside a single tile of bricks'fraid not. What now doctorate bros?
>>12494215He went into a warp hole bro, it altered his physiology and he changed when he went to a new dimension
>>12494215They weren't exactly thinking about consistent canon or lore back then, just whatever shit's fun.The turtles in Mario Bros aren't even Koopa Troopas, they're Shellcreepers.Well, they're more like tortoises than turtles.
>>12494215It's not the same Mario, dude
You guys are retarded
what about THIS
>>12494215What's Mario's official height anyway? There's got to be some official material that says.
>>12496709holy shit mike tyson is massive
>>12496939He’s an Italian, just look it up
>>12496709That one has to be small Mario. Tyson is 5'10" and Mario looks to be about half of his height there, witch makes sense since he couldn't be taking mushrooms before officiating a match.
OP here, Mario is actually very small. He came out of my TV and is in my fridge. He is throwing all my food onto the floor.
>>12496968This is the real OP right here. You didn't have to post this since I already admitted I was wrong on account of being a literal retard, which ironically makes you retarded as well.
>>12494215What about the Donkey Kong sprites?
>>12496983Donkey Kong had Jumpman not Mario.
>>12496976OP here. Please do not try to confuse everybody. Mario has thrown all my eggs on the floor and they are broken.
>>12496989men inherit their father's heightsI learned this from Terminator, so did Miyamoto
>>12494215Mario's height was never very consistent, but he was always depicted as shorter than a normal human. Bowser on the other hand has been everything from same height as Super Mario, to 10 feet tall, to 30-40 foot tall monster, sometimes Godzilla sized. I'm not even sure just what Nintendo's official concept is any more these days.The Koopa kids are almost all twice Mario's height now too.
>>12496983Donkey Kong's screens are a compressed view of a 25 meter section of a tower structure.If you interpret the tiles from the top of the ladder to the lowest beam as 25 meters, those 28 tiles would be about 89cm each.That makes Mario (2 tiles) about 1m 78, DK (4 tiles) about 3m 57cm, and Lady (2.75 tiles) about 2m 45cm.Mario and DK's heights sound plausible there, but makes Lady unusually tall, so this scale is probably not accurate since the arcade cabinet and printed artwork has always depicted Mario as being shorter in stature.Nintendo were probably playing around with ideas and tropes of the small man performing larger than life feats to get the beauty.
>>12497038>but makes Lady unusually tallShe is wearing heels though.
>>12496709all the boxers are freakishly huge in that game besides little mac
>>12494215>MarioLarge body, short jump>Red MarioLarge Body, long but low jump>Luigi Small body, high jump, fast
>>12496962what if Tyson got a mushroom and that's why he's so big?
>>12496962flawless logic to be desu.
