The Big Picture: Continuity Wars

[John P. Hackworth]

Bob has greatly over thought Mario.

Wait, the Mushroom Kingdom's flora affects those two Toads in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and WiiU.

is actually justifies it well. [http://www.mushroomgo.thecomicseries.com/comics/116] Also kudos for its depiction of mario and its setting through an action shonen lens that borrows from 90s nuttiness, 80s schlock, and lots and lots of shonen anime cliches

Its best to think of Mario more as a toybox/toolkit like GI Joe only without the comics and you build your own continuity/legacy as you will informed by the designs and stories of the characters.

Same for star wars. same for anything. BUT disrupting the illusion enough will call into question while you'll put up with it.
