The Canon(ish) Mario Timeline

A lot of people have made a Mario timeline, and while I must admit that they put a lot of effort into them, I still want to make my own timeline. This time, there are rules: only the main series games are allowed, so no Mario and Sonic games. We also won't be looking at games like Luigi's Mansion or Dr. Mario, heck we won't be looking at DK. With all that out of the way, here we go.
=== Super Mario Bros. ===
Obviously we have to start off with the first game in order for a timeline to work. Here, Mario learns that a Koopa named Bowser has taken the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom: Princess Peach (or Toadstool). Mario and his brother, Luigi save Peach and defeat Bowser.
=== Super Mario: The Lost Levels ===
While this is the true sequel to the first game, Mario 2 will be in this timeline. Mario and Luigi save the princess (again) and beat Bowser (again). And to think, they had to go through hard levels to get to Bowser's castle.
=== Super Mario 3D Land ===
You may be asking why this is next and not Mario 3. Mario 3 is confirmed to be a play. Mario had to learn of the Tannooki Leaves and the Koopalings from somewhere (more on the Koopalings in a minute). This is the point when the Tanooki Leaves are scattered all over the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario saves the princess and defeats Bowser for a third time in a row.
=== New Super Mario Bros. 2 ===
Remember when I said that we would talk about the Koopalings later on? Well, here we are. Now, I am aware that Bowser Jr. appears in this game. But, this is the only other Mario game where Bowser fights the Koopalings and not Jr. Yes, Mario World also has this, but Mario World takes place AFTER Mario 3, so this game is next in the timeline.
