nintendo pushing the gay agenda confirmed

 

[Zee-Row]

If Mario was born in America...

...why does he have a stereotypical Italian accent?

His parents were probably immigrants and didn't teach him proper English. I know a lot of kids born in Florida to immigrants that don't ever learn until they go to public school.

 

[WillyFive]

Because Japan has stereotypes of other people too.

 

[Phediuk]

Remember when the bosses in Mario 3/World were called Koopa Kids and were explicitly Bowser's children, but then re-releases changed it to "Koopalings"?

Another American canon oddity.

 

[rpmurphy]

"he has seen too many things"

Mario has seen some shit.

 

[Laws00]

i wonder what the bio for Luigi says

 

[Spikain]

Isn't Yoshi supposed to be a race, not a single character?

 

[JordanN]

How come more Americans haven't moved to the Mushroom Kingdom?

It seems like a good source of employment with high job security.

Also broken squirt gun = foretelling of Super Mario Sunshine?

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

"Yoshi was originally supposed to be a type of Koopa. That saddle you see on his back was actually his shell." —Super Mario World Director Takashi Tezuka, Super Mario History

 

[Phediuk]

Isn't Yoshi supposed to be a race, not a single character?

It can refer to the whole species or just the single character, like Toad.

 

[Azure J]

Isn't Yoshi supposed to be a race, not a single character?

Oh boy, this is going to be the new "Toad as a race"/"SMB2 Toad is Wario's Woods Toad who is special; NSMB2 Toads say nope"/"Is Toad Toadsworth"/"who the fuck is Captain Toad?"

 

[The Adder]

Yes I know about that name change, I'm talking about all the other stuff, like Mario being an Italian-American born in Brooklyn, "references to the "Mushroom King", and so on.

Oh yeah and the blocks were originally the "Mushroom People" transformed into blocks. Remember that?

You were saying the last time they used Toadstool was in RPG, I was noting it was also in 64.

 

[rekameohs]

If Mario's so tolerant, why does he go around killing every thing he sees?

 

[MrDaravon]

I have been here too long. That was a good thread.

This confirms that America and the Mushroom Kingdom are on the same place of existence and that Mario has a way to travel freely between the two.

Mario's personality profile



The "Mario Lore" goes deeper.haha

I miss that Yoshi design.

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

Like the SMB3 cartoon?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

The "T" stands for "The", like Crow T. Robot.

 

[Village]

I'm sorry, I feel like i am lost on this one.

 

[timetokill]

I'm sorry, I feel like i am lost on this one.

Sometimes all it takes is a spark... you'll figure it out eventually

 

[Kazerei]

Munchakoopas

Because he eats koopas

 

[Andrefpvs]

I'm sorry, I feel like i am lost on this one.

Look at the sparkles on the game's title

I wish the movie name of Mario Mario and Luigi Mario was canon.

Obviously the movie suffered from a lack of scientific detail. Say that the next time you talk about the movie.

 

[Eggbok]

Apparently this is a big deal?

 

[Vyse24]

Tiberius Yoshisaur Munchakoopas.

 

[Ganon Dragmire]

sort of related. apparently Wart and Birdo were a thing

[Sapiens]

What does the T. stand for

Tyrone

 

[lupinko]

When did they abandon the American Mario canon, anyway?

I think "Princess Toadstool" was the last vestige of that, and that was last seen in Mario RPG.

Peach is still Toadstool, since Toadstool is just her surname.

And it's more natural anyway in the west to have her known by her first name anyway.

 

[Taco_Human]

Why wouldn't it be a big deal? All these years and only now he's got a full name.

 

[ZealousD]

I feel like there's more to Mario's personality profile than the sheet is letting on.

 

[Exotoro]

I feel like there's more to Mario's personality profile than the sheet is letting on.

well to be fair he probably won by doing nothing

 

[MrSaturn99]

A space dragon? Uh, why?

 

[Elfforkusu]

Tiberius Yoshisaur Munchakoopas.

Where is Brooklyn relative to the Mushroom Kingdom?

 

[Fourth Storm]

So Mario is a Homo Nintendonus, a new branch of the Homo genus.

Fixed. But this is priceless. As an anthropology student, my only qualm is with the lack of proper formating for the binomial nomenclature. It should be Homo nintendonus. I suppose the normal conventions of science start to break down once we start talking Mushroom Kingdom, however.

Blake just put this one on his Twitter:

Look at Peach showing off those gams!

 

[foxuzamaki]

I like that the explanation for Mario's tolerance is "he's seen some shit."

lol right?

 

[Peltz]

Where is Brooklyn relative to the Mushroom Kingdom?

I'm pretty sure mushroom kingdom is inside Brooklyn for reals... specifically inside the head of a hipster in Brooklyn who did mushrooms.

 

[Attack You]

Holy shit

Yoshichan's losing his shit, guys. He wasn't supposed to find out like this.

 

[Muskieratboi]

Blake just put this one on his Twitter:

I'm the one who asked him for that. Bowser day and all.

Such a tragic Villain...

 

[Subtle]

Please be canon please be canon please be canon

 

[Crayolan]

Blake just put this one on his Twitter:

Aww, poor Bowser just wants friends. That explains why he doesn't mind having Kammy around despite being annoying and is quick to get friendly with Mario & co with when the opportunity arises.

 

[akidnamededdy]

I move that the T. be officially recognized to stand for Tyrone.

 

[Lijik]

Mario born in Brooklyn is canon? I thought that was just in the live action movie? I thought Miyamoto said that Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom?

It was American canon the same way Sonic was from Mobius and Robotnik was originally a mildmannered scientest named Dr. Kintobor were canon in America in the 90s

 

[akidnamededdy]

"American canon" aka the only canon that matters.

 

[Busaiku]

Mario wasn't born in Brooklyn.
He was born on Yoshi's Island.

 

[Azure J]

Can't wait for Grand Army Plaza to be a stage in Super Mario Dimensions.

 

[Lulubop]

Mario wasn't born in Brooklyn.
He was born on Yoshi's Island.

No, he was born in Brooklyn a stork picked him up and dropped him off on Yoshi's Island.
