Timeline/Mario

H.

Done, and this is a long shot.

Remakes are retcons. If the original game gets ported to newer software, the remake still takes priority. If the original game has canon that doesn't contradict the remake's canon, it's allowed.

## List of games and other media that aren't canon

* **The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, King Koopa's Kool Kartoons, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World**: Shows produced by DIC Entertainment. They differ greatly from the canon of the video games, rendering them non-canon.
* **Super Mario Bros. (movie)**: Many lore and timeline details don't add up. (Daisy is a reptile, Bowser is a tyrannosaurus rex, etc.)
* **Saturday Supercade**: The world's based on Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. only, rendering them non-canon.
* **Donkey Kong Country (cartoon)**: Lore differs from the video games, such as DK being the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island.
* **Mario Ice Capades**: The show says that the world of Mario is fiction, rendering it non-canon.
* **Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!**: The movie features many characters and lore details that don't coincide with the games, such as Mario and Luigi owning a grocery store and Princess Peach being with Prince Haru-ōji.
* **Amada Anime series: Super Mario Bros**: The game adapts fairy tales using elements from Mario, thus they are non-canon.
* **The Toei Animation public service animations**: The fire safety video says that Mario and Luigi are fictional characters.
* **Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land**: The plot of this video differs greatly from that of Super Mario World.
* **Mario Kirby Meisaku Video**: It was created for educational purposes, making no attempt at being canon.
* **Mario & Sonic series**: I doubt it's canonical to avoid problems on Sonic's side of canon.
* **Any marketing**: Used to promote the games. Not canon.
* **Any of the Hudson Soft games pre-Wario Blast**: These games were created during a time where Nintendo didn't pay attention to what they were licensing, making then non-canon.
* **Mario's Early Years!**: No plot.
* **Hotel Mario**: Nintendo refuses to acknowledge it, making it definitely non-canon.
* **Mario's FUNdamentals**: No plot.
* **Mario is Missing!**: It's an education game.
* **Mario Teaches Typing**: We are *not* starting this discussion on if Mario is illiterate or not.
* **Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels**: The plot states it's set in a parallel world from that of Super Mario Bros.
* **Yoshi's Wooly World**: Both the style and story doesn't fit the canon; Kamek skins the Yoshis to create Baby Bowser a castle? The hell???

## Regular statements

### Super Mario Bros. 3 is non-canon because it's a stage play

Super Mario World features the Sunken Ghost Ship, confirmed to be an airship from SMB3. SMB3 is part of the continuity.

*Mysterious Sunken Ship*
*This is a strange looking sunken ship. Haven't you seen it somewhere before? That's right, in Super Mario Bros. 3, Koopa and his kids used a flying ship to make life tough for Mario.*
-Super Mario World manual
### Paper Mario is a separate universe from the mainline Mario universe

A funnier sub-section of this statement is that everything after Super Paper Mario is in the paper universe.

Sticker Star references Goombella via a written note of hers that explains she was researching the Chomp Ruins, an area in Sticker Star. Snifit or Whiffit from Sticker Star returns in Color Splash. And The Origami King has a room in a ship with photographs that basically says that all previous Paper Mario games took place in the same continuity.

Deeming the modern Paper Mario games as non-canon sounds real pick-and-choose for what you want to be canon. The paper aesthetics were always there in the previous games. Yes, less subtle than how the modern games treat it, but they were always there.

Alright, now onto the main point. The events of the Paper Mario games happened in the main Mario universe., the only difference being the paper-elements.

* **Mario Kart: Super Circuit** features Peach's castle on top of Bowser's floating castle.
* **Mario Party 5** features the Star Spirits as hosts
* Koopatrols appear in **Mario Pinball Land** and **Super Princess Peach**.
* **Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga** features several blocks from previous games, one of them being **Paper Mario**.
* Goomboss appears in both **Super Mario 64 DS** and **Mario Kart DS**.
* Star Hill is a location in **Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time**.
* The bio for the origami Boo in **The Origami King** mentions Mario's "twinkling blues" making them freeze, when Paper Mario only has dots for eyes.
* Many statues of paper characters are designed as being three-dimensional, rather than their actual flat appearance. Most notable are the numerous Bowser heads across the games.
* **The Origami King** uses 3D renders of Bowser as paintings across Bowser's Castle.
* **Mario Golf Advance Tour** directly names Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, and Moustafa.

## Timeline

* The universe is created out of an exploding singularity of Lumas.

"*Do you hear the baby stars? These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday. When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues. But the cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way... So...you'll see.*"
**-Rosalina, Super Mario Galaxy**
### Age of creation

* Many things are created. An afterlife for sinless souls is created called the Overthere and a place for neutral souls called the Underwhere. There is also a prison we don't know about, where the souls filled with sin go.

*Way up in the sky is a magical, cuddly land where babies come from. Storks come here to pick up infants for delivery to their soon-to-be parents.*
**-Yoshi's New Island**
* Bonechill was once a Nimbi, but was then cast down inside a prison along with his army.
* Rosalina is born to a caring mother and father. Her mother comes down on a fatal illness, but reassures her daughter she will watch over her.

*"Where are you going?" she asked her mother's retreating back. Without turning, her mother replied, "Don't fret, dearest. I'm not going anywhere. I'm always watching over you, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night." A wave of sadness washed over the girl. "What about when it rains, and I can't see the sun or the moon?" Her mother thought for a moment before responding. "I will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for your tears to dry."*
**-Chapter 4: The Dream**
* A Luma searches for Rosalina from the previous universe. This universe's Rosalina, still young, promises to search for the Luma's missing celestial mother.

*Our story begins a very, very long time ago with a young girl. One day, this girl spotted a rusted spaceship holding a small star child. "What's your name? Are you lost?" the girl asked the star child. "I'm Luma, and I'm waiting for Mama. She's coming for me on a comet!" said the star child, who had been waiting day and night. "Don't worry. I'll wait with you," the little girl promised Luma. At nightfall, the little girl borrowed her father's telescope and peered into the sky. She looked and looked, but she saw nothing. Hours turned into days and then years, but still the sky revealed nothing. Finally, the little girl sighed and said to Luma, "If we stay here looking much longer, I'll be an old lady soon." But then she had an idea. "Why don't we go out there and find your mother ourselves?" The girl and Luma fixed up the rusty spaceship, and then the two set sail into the starry sky. And this is how the search for the celestial mother began.*
**-Chapter 1: The Celestial Duo**
* Rosalina gets to taste Star Bits.

*Days passed with no sight of the comet, or even a single planet. Instead, asteroids extended for as far as the eye could see. "If I had known it was going to take this long, I would have packed more jam," said the little girl, above the rumble of her belly. Before they left, she had packed all the essentials: telescope, butterfly net, stuffed bunny, bread, milk, jam, and apricot-flavored tea, but... "I forgot to bring water!" At this, Luma burst into gales of laughter, and the girl began to pout. "As long as I have Star Bits, I'll be fine," said Luma. "Want some?" The little girl couldn't stay mad after hearing this. Luma continued to laugh, and the girl couldn't help but join in. "All right, maybe just a nibble." Leaning far out of the ship, the pair began to collect Star Bits with the girl's net. They almost fell out a few times, but they kept on collecting. The Star Bits tasted like honey.*
**-Chapter 2: Star Bits**
* One day, they find a beaming ball of light.

*A beam of light pierced through the ship's window. Thinking it was the morning sun, the girl peered through the window, only to find a turquoise blue comet shimmering at her. The little girl shook the sleeping Luma awake and shouted excitedly, "We HAVE to get to that comet!" The pair descended on the comet and found that it was made of ice. They looked high and low, but Luma's mother was nowhere to be found. Exhausted, the little girl sat down with a flop, utterly unable to take another step. "Look!" Peering down at the icy ground where Luma was pointing, the girl suddenly noticed clusters of Star Bits encased in the ice. "Pretty good, huh? Finding Star Bits is my specialty!" said Luma, beaming. "There's ice here, but it's so warm, I'll bet there's water here too." The two decided to stay on the comet for a while. Riding the turquoise comet, the pair continued their search for Luma's mother.*
**-Chapter 3: The Comet**
* Without any luck finding the Luma's mother, Rosalina promises to take care of him.

*One night, the girl dreamed about her own mother. -- When she awoke, the girl's face was damp with tears. "You have Star Bits in your eyes!" said Luma to the girl. Wiping her face, the girl replied, "These are tears, not Star Bits. I'm crying because I'll never see my mother ever again!" At this, Luma began to cry too. "Mama, oh, Mama... waaaah!" The pair traveled through the starry skies, and though they encountered many other comets, not one of them held Luma's mother. Luma was despondent. "Now, now, Luma. The rain clouds won't go away if you keep crying," the girl said, giving Luma a squeeze. "I'll give you a present if you stop." The girl closed her eyes and said gently, "I'll take care of you." With these words, she felt a small spark in her heart.*
**-Chapter 4: The Dream**
* Inside the comet lied a bunch of furtniture and tools that Rosalina didn't recognize. She used that to create the groundworks of her Comet Observatory.

*"The Kitchen will go here, and the library will go over there," the girl said busily to herself. "We'll put the gate here." Ever since the girl took Luma under her care, she'd been bustling about at a feverish pace. "It's a lot of work, but it's worth it to make a happy home." It turned out that Star Bits weren't the only things buried in the ice. There were tools and furniture unlike any they had ever seen, and the girl used them to build a home. Looking at the completed house, Luma remarked, "Don't you think it's awfully big for just the two of us?" With a library, bedroom, kitchen, fountain, and gate, it was certainly spacious, but still, something seemed to be missing. "If only my father, brother, and mother were here," the girl said wistfully. Indeed, the house was too large for its two small residents. That night, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny close to her heart, the girl fell asleep in the starship.*
**-Chapter 5: Home**
* New Lumas appear, recognizing this Rosalina as the Rosalina from the previous universe.

*Then one day, while the girl sat sipping tea, a tiny apricot-colored planet appeared on the horizon. From the planet, another Luma of the same color emerged. "Do you two know each other?!" the girl asked the two Lumas gleefully. Despite the girl's excitement, they seemed uneasy. The two Lumas neither drew closer nor backed away from each other. Instead, they just stared. Then one Luma broke the silence. "My mama!" At once, the apricot Luma parroted back, "My mama! My mama!" "My mama!" "My mama!" The two Lumas began to dance around the girl frantically, and neither showed any sign of stopping. The girl was so charmed by this adorable scene that she couldn't help but laugh. And that's when something very strange happened. Suddenly, more Lumas began to pop out from the apricot planet. They were different colors, but they all shouted the same thing. "My mama!" "My mama!" The sight of all the shouting Lumas only made the girl laugh harder. "What am I going to do with all these children?!" The Lumas just stared blankly as she doubled over laughing. "I guess we'll have to name each and every one of you." Tomorrow, once she had finished naming them all, she would begin moving all the Lumas into the new house.*
**-Chapter 6: Friends**
* ...

*After seeing their 100th comet, a sudden thought popped into the girl's head: "I wonder if my home planet is still as blue as it was." That's when she remembered her father's telescope. Peeking into the telescope, a tiny blue dot floated into sight. It was smaller than a Star Bit. "How strange... It's so far away, but it feels so close." She twisted the knob of the telescope, and the blue dot grew until she could make out a grassy hill dotted with flowers. It seemed very familiar to her. Zooming even closer, a terrace on the hill came into view. "I used to go stargazing there when I lived on my home planet." She remembered rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she followed her father up that hill to look at the stars... She remembered how she and her brother would sled down that hill... She remembered having picnics with her mother on that hill on bright and windy days... And... "I want to go home! I want to go home right now!" The girl burst into tears, and the Lumas didn't know what to do. "I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!" The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. "But I know she's not there! I knew all along that she wasn't out there in the sky! Because...because..." "She's sleeping under the tree on the hill!" The girl's cries echoed through the stars, and a hush fell over the area.*
**-Chapter 7: The Telescope**
* Rosalina accepts what happened.

*Though usually quite cheery, one day the girl became sad again. Luma drew close and tried to comfort her. "Mama, you still have me!" "And don't be sad about your mama, because she's a part of you! That means she's always close by!" "It's like me. I love Star Bits because they remind me of my mama." "No...no..." the girl said, unable to stop the tears. A lonely look flickered across Luma's face, but it was soon replaced by a wide grin. "I have an idea!" "I will transform into a comet, a soaring comet that can carry you all on this journey!" With that, Luma, trailing bands of white, soared high into the sky and just as quickly started to plummet back down. KABOOM! KABLAM! The ground shook, and a bright light poured out of the crater that the Luma had created. The bands of light twisted together to form a comet tail. And then Luma emerged, reborn as a comet. The girl could scarcely believe her eyes. "But...how?" she kept asking. "Our destiny as Lumas is to transform into different things," said a red Luma who had suddenly appeared. "Stars, comets, planets... We can become all of these things!" "When I grow up, I want to become a star that makes someone special smile," said a green Luma. A blue Luma chimed in, "That Luma turned into a real cutie of a comet, didn't he!" All of the Lumas together said, "No more crying, Mama!" "Thank you..." said the girl in a whisper, and she pulled the Lumas close and hugged them. From that day on, Star Bits no longer fell from the girl's eyes. The comet set forth for the girl's home planet, its long tail blazing proudly behind it.*
**-Chapter 8: The Wish**
* Rosalina promises to visit her Earth every hundred years. Her arrival would herald the raining of Star Bits, causing people to call that event the Star Festival.

*With its many Lumas and telescopes, the comet was quite a sight to behold. The girl and the Lumas were proud to call it home. At a welcoming party for a new Luma, the girl gathered everyone in the Kitchen and said in a louder voice than usual... "All right, everyone! Let's make a cake! A cake sprinkled with Star Bits! Then it will be a star cake!" The Lumas excitedly began to gather the ingredients. As she watched the Lumas scurry about, the girl smiled and thought to herself, "This is my family now, and I will stay with them until they're ready to leave the nest. And when they do leave, I'll see them off with a smile." "Because that's what makes a mother happiest." That night, when the girl lay down to sleep, a soft light enveloped her and reminded her of the blue planet she once called home. "But it would be nice to return home once every one hundred years to nap in my favorite sleeping nook." The comet carrying the Lumas and the girl continues on its journey to this very day. With more "family members" in tow than can be counted, it's said that the comet visits the girl's home planet once every hundred years, its proud white tail glittering in the sky.*
**-Final Chapter: Family**

Despite what you may believe, Rosalina is not a godlike entity. She's just a girl with magic abilities.She's also not a princess. Despite her Storybook including a castle in the background, it's never confirmed she has any noble background.

* Annually, the Sticker Comet, from the Sticker Star, lands in the town of Decalburg, Mushroom Kingdom. It is believed that anyone's wishes could come true, and so this ceremony would be called the Sticker Fest.

### The long-forgotten times

* The Tiki Tak Tribe is sealed inside the volcano on an island that would be known as Donkey Kong Island.

* Thousands of years ago, the Spritelings seal the Black Jewel inside their temple.

*Long ago, there was an evil black jewel that fed on the wishes of people, turning their desires into power. This dark jewel gave birth to many evil spirits who then tormented the good creatures of the world. Then, just when it seemed like the evil spirits would overrun the land, the Spritelings of the Sacred Forest ensnared the black jewel and hid it away deep within their ancient ruins.*
**-Wario World**
* There once was a country, ruled by a king who had a princess named Shokora. Shokora lived in peace inside the Golden Pyramid, until the Golden Diva, a power-hungry and greedy villain, invaded the land and cursed Shokora while she was sleeping.

*--the ruins appear to be the pyramid of the sleeping princess of the king who reigned over the area long ago, which had been captured/occupied and cursed by the arrogant and selfish golden dead person, the Golden Diva.*
**-Wario Land 4 Japanese guide**
Shokora was cursed to be a black cat, but over time managed to get a somewhat humanoid form. What happened to the kingdom is unknown, but it may have fell into ruin by continued assault by the Golden diva.

### Age of legends

* The Soybean civilization is established. They were apparently very short. Before they were replaced by the Beanbean civilization, they hid several Beanstones across the kingdom.

"*The ancient Soybean civilization... The age of flying spin-beans, tunneling mole-beans, and fast-moving dash-beans...*"
**-Fava's brother, Superstar Saga**
* It was once told that the Sky Crystals, when reunited, would reveal a fun challenge.

"*Gather the sky's crystals...to reveal an incredibly fun challenge... That's what the ol' legend is here at the castle.*"
**-Bowser, Mario Party DS**
* Archeologists discover the Dark Star, and the Star Sprites seal it deep under Toad Town.

"*Long, long ago, a star sleeping deep below the Mushroom Kingdom was dug up... It was not benevolent. It was a frightful star that hid a great evil... The Dark Star. It was said that if an evil entity found the Dark Star, the world would plunge into darkness... That evil-hearted entity would rule the world... Fearing that, the Star Sprites that watch over us sacrificed much over many years... They sealed the Dark Star deep under the earth in Toad Town...*"
**-Princess Peach, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story**
* The Pi'illos guard the Dream Stone and Dark Stone.
* Antasma, a regular bat on Pi'illo Island, once fed on the nightmares of a Pi'illo and continued feeding on nightmares afterward, slowly becoming the bat king.
* Antasma attempted to use the Dark Stone for his own purposes. He was sealed away. But before he was fully sealed, he broke the Dark Stone, its Nightmare Chunks petrifying all of the Pi'illos, believing others to think they went extinct.

* The Form Batons are blessed down and many poses, dances, and ceremonies were performed as a result of the Form Baton.

"*A long time ago, our ancestors built a civilization of their own. Lately there has been the booming custom of saying 'forms', 'poses' and the like among the public, whose origins are objects used at this ancient civilization's ceremonies. However, the exact purpose of these ceremonies, the kinds of people they were directed to, etc. are still shrouded in mystery. The Temple of Form can be considered the culmination of that culture. For that reason, numerous artifacts related to forms are collected inside it. Details about the ceremonial aspects of the forms are depicted on the murals, and the dances and poses uncovered almost daily can be experienced in person.*"
**-WarioWare: Smooth Moves website**
* The Temple of Form is created, housing the possible sole Form Baton left.

* King Bask hears of Lucien, the tennis racket, and takes it. Lucien then attacks his kingdom, the Kindom of Bask. King Bask managed to split Lucien's power into five Power Stones. He hides Lucien inside a secret room of the Bask Temple, later becoming the Bask Ruins.
	+ King Bask assigns Aster to guard Lucien, in case someone were to ever steal it.

* Bob-omb Buddies come from space, according to Mario Party 2.

### Ages before Super Paper Mario

* The Dark Prognosticus is created.

"*So yeah, ever heard of the Dark Prognosticus? Everything that'll happen in the future is written down in this book. The author and the source of his knowledge are still a total mystery, though. Over the years, many have fought over it... Entire countries have fallen. And the fall of those countries was already predicted in the book... Imagine going through awful stuff to get the book, only to READ about it all after!*"
**-Garson, Super Paper Mario**

### 3000 years before Super Paper Mario

* At some point (not this point but probably far far earlier), the Tribe of Ancients originated in Lineland. They got their names based on their professions; people with the same job got the same name as one another.
	+ The Ancients knew about all the varous dimensions withinthe Universe, possibly causing some cross-contamination between them, resulting in stuff like the Big Blooper in the Bitlands or shared power-ups across the dimensions.

* One of the ancients, a magician's wife and son were involved in an accident. It killed the wife, but his son miraculously recovered.
* That magician uses knowledge from the Dark Prognosticus to plant his deceased daughter's soul into a living tool; Pixls.
* The first Pixl is created, the Pixl Queen. 12 more Pixls were created by the magician. Each Pixl would be inherited to someone.
	+ Before inhabiting Thudley, the soul inside became a wrestling star, but retired after a hip-replacement operation.
* While the original magician died, his apprentices would create many more Pixls would follow, and for a thousand years, the tribe would grow to become dependent on these living tools.
	+ Nobody knows what happened to the magician's son, what happened to his descendants, and whether or not they found happiness.

"*This Mimi... Her true identity is shrouded in mystery. some say she's a failed Pixl experiment of the Ancients...*"
**-Carson, Super Paper Mario**
### 2000 years before Mario Party 2

* The Bowser Sphinx curses a Bob-omb Buddy to be encased in gold. The statue becomes an artifact and only people who know the answer to the Sphinx's riddle are able to release the Bob-Omb Buddy.

### 2000 years before Super Paper Mario

* The Pixl uprising, lead by the Pixl Queen, would begin.

"*The Ancients lived in prosperity thanks to the work of many Pixls... But one day that all ended. A huge Pixl calling herself the Pixl Queen suddenly appeared... At her command, Pixls everywhere rebelled against their Ancient masters. It seems that most Pixls were well-contained spirits, but she was different. In her case, a demonic spirit was contained within a Pixl vessel. And this queen Pixl had the power to command all other Pixls. The Ancients had become so dependent on the Pixls. They were devastated... They suddenly lost their ability to build and rule their empire effectively...*"
**-Carson, Super Paper Mario**
"*The Ancients were overthrown and enslaved by the Pixl revolt led by the Pixl Queen. In the midst of the ruin appeared the inheritors of the twelve original Pixls. They defeated the waves of Pixl soldiers and freed the enslaved Ancients. They used Catch Cards to trap the mind-controlled Pixl soldiers, then healed them. They saw their friends fall one after the other in battle, but they persevered. The last survivor managed to make it to the castle of the Pixl Queen. But the Pixl Queen used her powers of illusion to hide. She then unleashed horrific images upon the surviving freedom fighter. One of the Pixls at his side was immune to this, for it could see truth. It helped the survivor fight, and he and his Pixl finally defeated the Pixl Queen. But in the process, the Pixl's game was ended...*"
**-Carson, Super Paper Mario**
"*So about the Pixl Queen from the Pixl uprising... Did you know there have been interesting theories published about her? In one book left behind by the master magician's apprentice, I found this: 'The spirit within the Pixl Queen was not a demon, but rather a human... The master magician had a beautiful wife, a son, and a daughter. But he lost his wife and son in an accident. Soon after, his daughter caught a terrible illness, and her short game ended.' Perhaps he transferred her spirit to a Pixl vessel? ...Well, that's the theory. Is it possible the other Pixls were spirits from the game-overed? ...Anyway, the person who published this has already disavowed that theory. I mean, it does seem a little unlikely, right? But if it WERE true... I'd bet the daughter was so horrified by the deeds of her father... That she wanted no one to ever use Pixls again. ...But what do I know? I DO think nothing less would have broken the Ancients' Pixl dependency. Oh, and some say the son of the magician miraculously recovered from the accident. If so, the bloodline of the magician could endure... Did they find happiness? Or otherwise...*"
**-Carson, Super Paper Mario**
* That last inheritor discovered the manner in which Pixls are created and fled off with the Dark Prognosticus, in hopes things such as Pixls are never created again.
* The survivor would eventually found the Tribe of Darkness.
	+ The tribe had some strict rules on who could marry who, as to not weaken the tribe's power and because of pride.

* The Ancients would accuse the tribe of stealing the Dark Prognosticus, and history would mud the Tribe of Darkness' truth.

"*I hear they stole the Dark Prognosticus from the Ancients and hid it. But I don't know why they would do such a thing. Some say they did it to use the book's power to enhance their dark magic... Some say they hid it from others who would use it for evil...*"
**-Carson, Super Paper Mario**
* The Ancients' power and influence declined without the Pixls.

### 1500 years before Super Paper Mario

* The earliest point of Santa Claus being active, according to Boomer.
* The Ancients become aware of the Dark Prognosticus' prediction of the destruction of all worlds in about 1500 years. They do some future preparing.
	+ Merlimbis, one of the four sages among the Tribe of Ancients, creates the Purity Heart, meant to destroy the Chaos Heart that would create The Void. (As long as there is love and hope, the Purity Heart would counteract the Chaos Heart's power)
	+ The Purity Heart is split into eight smaller Pure Hearts, and passed them down to trustworthy people for safekeeping.
	+ Merloo and Merlumina, Ancient members, then write the Light Prognosticus, meant to counteract the Dark Prognosticus.
	+ Merlight, an Ancient member, designs Flipside, a world between dimensions. The Tribe of Darkness would create Flopside, a means to balance both light and dark. Both would hide Heart Pillars for the heroes that would discover them.
	+ The Flipside Pit of 100 Trials is created to research the power of the Pure Hearts, while the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials is used to study the dark magic of shadows. Despite both intentions, both were meant to test the forces that guard the Pure Hearts.
* The Ancients would outlaw the creation and limit the power of the existing Pixls. Their number would dwindle until the remaining original 11 Pixls are left. They would be scattered across worlds and hidden in Treasure Chests.
* Merlumina is told to protect the Pure Heart in Yold Ruins. Years pass, and now only her spirit holds protection.
	+ A robotic dragon was also developed to guard Merlumina guarding the Pure Heart. Wracktail was first developed, but scrapped and banished into the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials for being too violent. A second versio, Fracktail, was created and sent to guard the Yold Ruins for the Heroes of Light.
	+ Merlumina's sister brought the purple Pure Heart to the Sammer's Kingdom and falls in love with King Sammer I. They had 100 children as a result. Jesus. These 100 children provided the origin of the Duel of 100.
	+ A Pure Heart is given to Queen Jaydes and Grambi, who hide it by turning it into a living Nimbi called Luvbi. Over time, they would love her like a daughter.

"*King Sammer was entrusted with a Pure Heart by Merlumina's younger sister... She was madly in love with King Sammer I, so they married and had 100 kids. The 100 princes and their royal parents ushered in an era of prosperity. Therefore, the number 100 became important to the current king. Imagine all the budding romances with 100 strapping princes around... The kingdom of that era would have had no problem fighting our current woes...*"
**-Garson, Super Paper Mario**
* Many shamans from the Tribe of Ancients were put in Mario's dimension and continued with their roles.

### 1474 years before Super Paper Mario

* King Croacus I becomes the first king of the Floro Sapiens. He would unite all Floro Sapiens, create the Flora Calendar, and set the capital at the Floro Caverns.

### 1030 years before Super Paper Mario

* Prince Croacus wilts, bringing forth a period in the Flora Kingdom known as "The Darkening" where King Croacus I turned corrupt. King Croacus I's daughter, Queen Croacus II, would try and overthrow the king, but became imprisoned.

### 1000 years before The Thousand-Year Door

* The Shadow Queen appears and lays waste to a peaceful city. She creates the Palace of Shadow out of a quarter of the city.

"*Ages ago, a city flourished here in peace in splendor. ...But it was destroyed in a single day by a demon from the dark beyond. Historians claim a great calamity befell the city, but nay... 'twas a demon. The city sank below ground, and one-quarter of the old city became the demon's den. This demon put fear into the hearts of all men and sent out minions to take the land. And its den, its palace, grew rich with the treasures stolen from all over the world.*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The Shadow Queen then creates the Crystal Stars to spread her influence across the lands.

"*In order to increase its already formidable power... The demon created Crystal Stars to hold the essence of the heavens. One of these stars was placed in each country to exert the demon's influence. One of the castles built to contain these stars still stands near Petal Meadows."*
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The Shadow Queen builds the Pit of 100 Trials as punishment for those she disliked.

"*The demon built a dungeon near its palace and filled it with terrifying monsters... All those who fell into disfavor were thrown into this dungeon to rot... Yea, and the demon also had three dragon pets: Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail. These dragons flew across the land, spreading fear and sorrow over all. Even now, the mere mention of a dragon is enough to give some the terrors...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* But despite her rule, there were heroes to pierce the blinding darkness.

"*One day, there came a hero who could vanquish the fell demon. The young Toad from Petal Meadows was strong of arm, but shy of voice... All those around the boy teased him endlessly about the way he spoke. But when the demon cast his fearful gaze across the lands and reached out... The young Toad used his strength and honor to defend his people. And he became a hero to all, despite his odd voice."*
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*There was a wise Goomba from Boggly Woods gifted in knowledge of the world. When beasts rose to take the woods, this knowledge helped the people fight them. And this Goomba, who knew the way that every monster would attack... She began to think of a way to banish all monsters from the land...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*A Koopa who traveled the world alone learned of the darkness covering the land... He went alone wherever evil dwelt, and banished it with shell and sheer bravado. The monsters grew to fear this scar-riddled Koopa who thwarted them at every turn. But the brave Koopa was finally taken in a trap set for him by the monsters. But then, a Boo who fought with the monsters came and used her magic to free him. The brave Koopa's spirit had melted the heart of the cold Boo lass...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*The Boo used her powerful magic to learn more about the evil they faced... "We cannot destroy this darkness alone," she decided, her face a grim mask. "We need the Toad hero of Petal Meadows and the wise Goomba of Boggly Woods." The Boo's magic drew the four heroes together to send the demon from the world. And so, the four heroes finally set out for the Palace of Shadow...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*The power of the world-devouring demon was greater than any could imagine... But the wise Goomba soon realized that this was the power of the Crystal Stars... She thought of a way to take the stars and use them against the demon. She told the other heroes her plan and set it in motion, banishing their fears. The Boo's magic and the Toad's strength created a gap in the demon's defenses... At that moment, the brave Koopa seized the stars... And succeeded in badly damaging the demon...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The four heroes manage to seal the Shadow Queen with the Crystal Stars.

"*But even the brave Koopa's stroke was not enough to end the demon's reign... The wise Goomba thought of another use for the Crystal Stars in that dire hour... She suggested sealing the demon forever with the Crystal Stars. All agreed. The heroes matched their strengths with the power of the Crystal Stars... And they successfully sealed the demon's soul within the deepest part of the palace. Together, they made it so that only all seven stars could break the seal...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* But before she fully sealed, the Shadow Queen cursed each of the heroes so their souls are trapped when they let go of the Crystal Stars.

"*The four heroes thought they had sealed away the demon and all of its powers... But the demon used a tiny opening before the seal was complete to curse them all. While holding the Crystal Stars, they'd feel nothing, but when they let them go... A black box would appear to seal their souls within. The four heroes traveled the world, scattering the stars so the seal would remain. But the last four stars each carried the curse, which claimed each hero...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The four heroes create a map and hide it in a chest to be only opened by those of pure heart.

"*The heroes knew that the seal might not last forever... And they sought to make the Crystal Stars available to one who might need them... So, before going to their individual dooms, they made a map to all the stars. And to prevent an evil force from misusing this map... They placed it in a box that could only be opened by the pure of heart.*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The four heroes go to work in hiding each star. The wise Goomba hollows out The Great Tree for the Punies. Grateful, the Punies promise to protect the Crystal Star.

"*The hiding places of many of the Crystal Stars have now faded into legend. But some say that the wise Goomba hid one in the Great Tree. At that time, many monsters wandered in the nearby Boggly Woods. The tiny Punies were always tormented by their fierce appetites, it was said. Pitying them, the Goomba hollowed out the Great Tree for the Punies to live in. The Punies were so grateful that they swore to protect the Crystal Star there...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*Once the Boo heroine hid her star in a steeple, she was trapped in the nearby town... Some say the Crystal Star lies in that steeple still...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The Koopa tried to hide the star as far away as he could, but was intercepted by Cortez, who stole it from him.

"*The Koopa hero went to a southern isle to hide his star where none would find it. But the Koopa was so tired from his journey that the pirate Cortez stole it easily. In that very instant, the Koopa was trapped in an inescapable chest. But Cortez did not realize the power of the star and lost it among his treasures...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The Toad asked a healer to hide the Garnet Star inside the Poshley Sanctum.

"*The strong Toad held his star and continued his arduous journey. But eventually the miles took their toll upon him, and he collapsed. A traveling healer happened by and saved his life... But the Toad knew his fate was to be trapped in the box when the star was gone... So he asked this healer to hide the star in a secret place known to no one...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
"*After the demon was sealed within the Palace of Shadow... Many refused to come near that place of terror. But as the years passed, entire generations forgot... And the penniless and the immoral began to congregate in this once-barren place... This place soon became a populous harbor, the town of Rogueport... And some even began to say that the underground city held a legendary treasure. But they were unaware that the demon slept beneath them still...*"
**-Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* Cortez dies.

"*About a Thousand-Years ago, there was a pirate king called Cortez on these seas. He raided this city often, striking fear into the hearts of its inhabitants, but Cortez was betrayed by one of his crew... Just before he died, he's said to have sailed off with all of his treasure. Then, even after he died, some say his spirit still protects that treasure... But, you know... That's all just hazy legend now.*"
**-Wonky, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door**
* The Marvelous Compass is created by the ancient Luff people to tell the future. But, the compass cursed the Luff empire, falling it into ruin.

And here's what she said: 'If you can finish an entire serving of my Saffron Special Galactic Meal, I'll date you.' ...And this is one of the biggest, most filling dishes anyone's ever seen, mind you. But he dug right in. According to spectators, he finished all but a sprig of parsley left on the plate. Just then, some poor girl appeared in town who was severely injured. Merlon had to help her, so Saffron let him suspend the challenge. I don't know what happened to that girl next... But then Merlon became engrossed in his studies, and he hasn't wooed since.

Chapter 7 of Rosalina's Story has her look through the telescope at her home. The home she sees through has a silhouette that matches the Mushroom Castle, with two smaller side towards with a central one in the middle.

Rosalina's Mother in Chapter 4 looks similar to both Rosalina and Princess Peach. This resemblance is intentional, with Yoshiaki Koizumi in an interview with PRIMA contemplating the idea the two are related.

As confirmed by Hayashida, producer of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Captain Toad is not the same Toad from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Wario's Woods.

### Casual era

* The events of **Mario Kart Wii**: More racing, this time with some more people, like Rosalina.

* Mario opens up the second Super Mini Mario World, called Mini-World. The first 100 visitors get a Mini Pauline.
* The events of **Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem**: Donkey Kong becomes the 101st visitor, making him angry and taking the life-sized Mini Pauline. That's fleshy. And kicking. And screaming. Mario decides on a compromise and gives Donkey Kong a Mini Pauline to stop his temper tantrum.

* The volcano in Donkey Kong Island erupts, freeing the Tiki Tak Tribe. They hypnotize all of the animals to bring them bananas.
* The events of **Donkey Kong Country Returns/Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D**: Donkey Kong punches the Moon out of orbit to kill the Tiki Tak Tribe. Some still survive.

* A meteor crashes on to the Mushroom Kingdom. Several Toads investigate and see four crystals with stuff inside of them. The Toads decide to make a tournament based on the items inside these crystals, and the winner gets those crystals.
* The events of **Mario Sports Mix**: The winner gets all the crystals and they form together into a portal to an area where they fight Final Fantasy's Behemoth.

* The Mario Toy Factory hosts an annual Mini Toy Carnival. Donkey Kong and Pauline help run it.

* The events of **Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move**: Yep. Carnival.

* The events of **Mario Tennis Open**: Tennis! Also, one course takes place in Mario Kart 7's Mushroom Gorge.

* E. Gadd researches in Evershade Valley and makes a comradery with the ghosts. He discovers a strange liquid energy, a new material, which he names Goo.

	+ While Luigi is in Old Clockworks, E. Gadd uses Luigi's biological information from the Pixelizer to combine it with his Goo, creating Gooigi.
	+ Wanting to test it out, E. Gadd sends Gooigi back in time during the first Luigi's Mansion to help train and test it.
	+ Luigi adopts the Polterpup.

The mansion itself is also under the Boos' control, with parts of the mansion disappearing or turn into Boos when touched.

The layout of the mansions don't make any sense whatsoever, with doors and stairs leading to nowhere and a severe lack of furniture and its layout being maze-like.

King Boo can generate mansions on a whim, as seen in *Dark Moon'*s final boss. The mansion in the original *Luigi's Mansion* is also stated to be an illusion, despite everything looking real and physical.

* The events of **Game & Wario**: The in-universe Wii U is introduced, and Wario wants to make money out of it. He contacts his friends to make somewhat more-than-microgames games.

* It's the Year of Luigi.

"*I mean, you're Luigi, man! You're tall! You've got a sweet moustache! You had, like, a whole YEAR named after you...*"
-**Starlow, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam**
* The events of **Dr. Luigi**: Luigi's the doctor now.

* The Mario Toy Company celebrates the Year of Luigi by manufacturing a Mini Luigi.
* The events of **Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars**: Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline because he wanted to throw a surprise party for Mario.

* The Toad Brigade recruit Toadette as their newest member as they head out to explore. Mailtoad doesn't join.
* The events of **Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker**: Captain Toad and Toadette keep switching Wingo's position of being his kidnappee.

* Bowser's army invades the Sprixie Kingdom and bottles all of their princesses. The Green Sprixie Princess manages to escape to warn Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Blue Toad before being bottled herself.
* Captain Toad follows the four heroes after seeing a shooting Green Star, leaving Toadette behind, dumbfounded.

* The events of **Super Mario 3D World**: Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Blue Toad save the Sprixie Kingdom.
	+ The events of **Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Expedition to the Sprixie Kingdom**: Happens alongside 3D World and explains where Captain Toad got the Green Stars to give Mario.
	+ A subway station in Toad City is named Super Bell Subway, named after the Super Bells in the Sprixie Kingdom.

* The events of **Mario Party: Island Tour**: Bowser wasn't invited to the Party Islands and so traps the fun of the Party Islands in bubbles and creates a tower.
	+ Bowser makes Bowser Jr. feel like a hero.

"*BWAHAHA! Did you really think I'd let my own son defeat me like that? I hope you had fun playing the hero, kiddo! Well, Junior always said he wanted to be a hero, so I gave him the opportunity.*"
**-Bowser, Mario Party: Island Tour**
* Princess Daisy returns to Sarasaland to rule things again.

* The events of **Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash**: Tennis game! This time featuring a Sprixie Princess.

* Hellen Gravely invites E. Gadd to The Last Resort for free in exchange to see King Boo. Gadd is tricked, trapped in a painting, and King Boo is freed, allowing him to appear in these next few games.

* E. Gadd is now trapped in a painting while the rest is happening. ha ha LMAO

* The events of **Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam**: Luigi opens up a book and the paper world joins the round world. Everything returns to normal at the end.
	+ Nabbit first appears to steal the Bros. Attacks, but then helps Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario when it comes to Bowser's army.

"*I wish I could go with you... I'm actually getting pretty good at this adventuring thing.*"
**-Toadette, Paper Jam**
* + The Goomba Wheel is invented.

"*Prepare the ultra...special...um...stomper-roller thingy... (We really should have agreed on a name for this, guys...) Whatever! We're gonna stomp you!*"
**-Paper Goomba, Paper Jam**
* The events of **Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Special Episode**: The Super Crown is discovered by the Toad Brigade.

* The events of **New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe**: Bowser throws Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, Yellow Toad, and Toadette away from Peach's Castle and turns it into a weird lava castle. Nabbit joins the adventure and they save Peach's Castle.
	+ **New Super Luigi U** fits somewhere here, I dunno.
	+ Peach is confused about Peachette.

* According to the Super Mario Bros. manual and strategy guide "How to Win at Super Mario Bros", Peach is the daughter of two parents who are both Toads.
* Super Mario RPG has a character who watches over Peach's bedroom called "Grandma".

Matpat then brings up Queen Bees and how they work. He makes the connection between fungi and bees because fungi are closer to animals than plants.
Matpat justifies the blue eye color (as opposed to Peachette's grey eye color) is due to biology; they turn certain colors a few months after birth after being out of the womb.

Matpat keeps using the real life process of making babies to justify eye color, when that isn't how the Mario universe operates. Storks deliver babies. No sex or 9 months in the womb needed.
The differing eye color can be explained by that Toads don't have eye colors, leaving Peachette's eye color as purposefully grey.
Comparing fungi and bees is illogical and a huge jump in logic.

* The events of **Paper Mario: Sticker Star**: It is the Sticker Fest, and Bowser invades it to gain power. In the end, Mario stops Bowser and wishes for everything to be restored.
* The events of **Mario Golf: World Tour**: Golfing. Some courses include worlds from NSMBU, and Nabbit is invited too.

* The events of **Mario Sports Superstars**: More sports, including Horse Riding. Wow.
* The Mario Kart 8 tournament is coming up. Luigi also practices his death stare for the tournament.

"*MARIO?! What are YOU doing here? Do we have a kart race scheduled for today?*"
**-Bowser, Paper Mario: Color Splash**
"*If anyone gives you any trouble, just give 'em that mean stare you showed us earlier.*"
**-Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash**
* Bowser visits Prism Island and checks out Prism Plaza and sees a pool of rainbow paint. Wanting to get a cool rainbow shell, he dives into it and spins with his shell, accidentally creating black paint which causes to possess him.

* Now possessed, Bowser orders his minions to suck out the color across Prism Island to eventually cover the world in black paint.

* The events of **Paper Mario: Color Splash**: Mario returns Prism Island to its colorful state and saves Bowser from possession.
	+ Mario is also 30.

"*I'm beginning to understand why you've been fighting this Bowser guy for 30 years.*"
**-Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash**
* The events of **Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe**: Another racing tournament.
	+ Either Baby Mario or Baby Luigi wins the Egg Cup and bring it home to their time. The cup can be seen in **Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions**.
	+ Luigi's kart is a bit slow due to the key to Princess Peach's Castle being stuck in his exhaust pipe. Bowser notices.

"*Bwahaha! No wonder your kart is so slow. How long has that thing been stuck in the pipe?!*"
**-Bowser, Paper Mario: The Origami King**
* Bowser Jr. accidentally corrupts Bowser with black goop, turning him big, black, and evil. Again.
* The events of **Bowser's Fury**: Bowser Jr. enlists Mario's help to return his father back to normal.

"*I'd never ask you for help. Never EVER! But I'll do anything to save Papa. So...help me, Mario.*"
**-Bowser Jr., Bowser's Fury**
* The events of **Mario Party: Star Rush**: Toad Scramble, Mario characters! Yaheeeeeeee
* The events of **Mario Party: The Top 100**: The previous minigames are recreated. On handheld consoles.

* Pauline is in New Donk City to run for mayor. (Or she's already the mayor and . Anyway...)

* The events of **Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge**: Got a Mario amiibo of them? They can join this thing. Only the correct Mario amiibos, though. Pauline is absent, out-universe because she doesn't have any amiibos at the time of writing this. In-universe because... well, point above.
* The events of **Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze**: Donkey Kong's birthday is interrupted when the Snowmads arrive and steal Donkey Kong Island as their own. The Kongs easily take him out.

* The Toad Origami Craftsman sees the Origami festival and uses the forbidden Fold of Life technique to bring his King Olly creation to life. The Craftsman draws an encouraging message on Olly, but Olly misinterprets the message as some careless scrawl and becomes racist to Toads.
* Olly brings his sister, Olivia, to life and brings some origami-making tools with him, also making them sentient. They would become the Legion of Stationary.
* Olly goes on a rampage across the Mushroom Kingdom, folding Toads into random stuff, folding Peach into a servient slave, and brainwashing several of Bowser's army, even folding Bowser into a cube.
* Olivia is trapped behind the walls of Peach's Castle for objecting against Olly's wishes.

* The events of **Paper Mario: The Origami King**: Mario saves all of the folded Toads and brings Olly down. Olivia wishes all of Olly's deeds are undone, resulting in her death. The Origami Festival continues, with the Craftsman creating an inanimate Olly and Olivia on his castle creation.
* The events of **Super Mario Maker 2**: Peach's Castle gets erased, so Mario is forced to scrunge up any funding via jobs to help rebuild the castle.

* Bowser goes on a world tour to steal many wedding-related items all across the world.

* The events of **Super Mario Odyssey**: Mario stops Bowser's forced wedding on Peach. She's too stressed out and takes a break from Mushroom Kingdom-ing and goes on a vacation.

The ending also has the Odyssey on the Sand Kingdom during night time. In *Odyssey*, the titular ship's flight between the Cascade and Sand Kingdom was during the day.

The Toad Brigade travelled the world alongside Captain Toad while Toadette remained in the Mushroom Kingdom. This doesn't line up with *Treasure Tracker**s Nintendo Switch/3DS ending, where Toadette is left stranded in the Sand Kingdom. The Toad Brigade and their Starshroom were also seen in the Mushroom Kingdom during*** **Treasure Tracker**s credits.

Captain Toad runs after the Odyssey after seeing in, despite the fact he shouldn't recognise it. Cappy states that the trip from the Cascade and Sand Kingdom was the Oddysey's "maiden voyage", which is when it makes its trip for the first time.

In *Super Mario Odyssey* proper, Captain Toad first meets Mario in the Cascade Kingdom; the Captain's dialogue clearly indicates it and he spawns in Fossil Falls even before Mario can first set off to the Sand Kingdom. Funnily enough, Captain Toad's "first meeting" dialogue can be triggered in some kingdoms, but the Sand Kingdom is not one of those triggers.

In *Odyssey*, Captain Toad in New Donk City claims to have found a Power Moon inside a building, which contradicts his level in *Uptown, Downtown* where he collects it in a park. In the Bonus Level, Captain Toad is the one to restore power to New Donk City, while in *Odyssey* it was Mario that restored power. Toadette also appeared in the same level, despite the fact she should be in the Mushroom Kingdom

Captain Toad's level in the Sand Kingdom has him cause the Inverted Pyramid to float in the air, while in *Odyssey*, it was Mario that caused it.

The writer of the brochures proposes that life on Mario's Planet could have originated on the Moon besed the Astro-Lanceur and its similar characteristic is on the Seaside Kingdom. The writer may have been ignorant that octopuses in general began in space.

The Astro-Lanceur themselves has the Starburst Symbol on their head, a symbol that is seen all across space in the *Galaxy* games.

*Bowser's Inside Story* introduces Chakron, an Octopus Star Sage who's been meditating for 1000 years. What an old being! Octopi may also grow that old too.

The brochure for the Lost Kingdom claims that the Starburst symbol originated there. These brochures are written from the perspective of a person that would have no idea the symbols appeared in space before it came to the Lost Kingdom.

Trapeetles look distinctly similar to Mandibugs and could even be relatives. They're stated to be the "guardians of the ruins" (the ruins themselves having the Starburst symbols), and their physicalities such as concentric circle-styled eyes, antannea & mandibles are very similar to Mandibugs. Their spiked bodies and suction cup limbs are also similar to Swaphoppers, another Mandibug relative. Trapeetles' Japanese names are also similar to the Japanese names of the Flipbugs and Swaphoppers. Honestly, the only difference between the two are that Trapeetles are metallic while Mandibugs are wood-based, suggesting an upgrade.

Another creature that appears in the Lost Kingdom are Tropical Wigglers. Wigglers themselves are also found in galaxies inhabited by Mandibugs and some even have Starburst symbols on their segments.

* The events of **Super Mario Party**: Another argument on who is the Super Star. Bowser and some of his minions wanna play too, and actually play fair.
* The events of **Super Mario Run**: Bowser kidnaps Peach, but this time Mario's got that freestyle style.
	+ There are statues from Super Mario Odyssey, so this game's post-Odyssey.
* The events of **WarioWare Gold**: Wario steals a gold pot from Luxeville and tries to gain cash via the Wario Bowl; a gaming tournament. Wario contact his friends to make the games for the tournament. Lulu takes the pot back.
	+ Orbulon is also 2018 years old here.
* The events of **Mario Tennis Aces**: Wario and Waluigi get possessed by Lucien and begins mucking up the tournament. Mario saves Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi, but Bowser arrives to take it, also getting possessed. Mario saves everyone and is called the true king of tennis, according to Aster.
* The events of **Dr. Mario World**: There is a pandemic; viruses are everywhere across the Mushroom Kingdom! Even Bowser's troops are sick, so Bowser allies with Mario to help get rid of these pests. Also, *everyone here* gets a doctor's degree.

The opening for *Dr. Luigi* has the Viruses being beamed down from a spaceship.

* The events of **Mario Kart Tour**: A tour across the world, both worlds: Earth and Mario's. And a lot of people, costumes, and tracks are there too! And I'm afraid it goes on forever...

{

* The events of **WarioWare: Get It Together!**: Not knowing how to handle these bugs, the Supreme Developer inside the console sucks Wario and his friends inside the game world just as the console is completed with development. Wario and friends corner the bug, but Wario spares because he likes its stinking properties on his microgames.

luigi and daisy aren’t mona’s parents that’s a joke theory and trying to have a serious lengthy discussion about if it’s true or not is stupid

* Bowser uses his fire breath to take over Mount Snow from the Snow King and building Bowser Highlands over it. The warm weather causes strong winds to form, scattering pollen from the Tree of Sleep. Bowser Jr. grabs a flower resulting from that pollen and gives it to Bowser, unknowingly sending him to sleep.
* The Snow King uses this opportunity to freeze over Bowser Highlands and other nearby golf courses. He plans to freeze over the entire world.
* The events of **Mario Golf: Super Rush**: Your Mii enters the golfing initiation ceremony along with Chargin' Chuck, Toadette, and a Boo. The Mii also stops the Ice King with the help of the legendary hero (now only a voice), Wario, and Waluigi. Bowser also reclaims Bowser Highlands after waking up.
	+ The Mii gets approved by the Golf Association to join the Battle Golf.

### Hoh man what's next?

Some upcoming games. Also...

* The universe's life cycle finally dies out, as stardust too fades away...
* The universe is created out of an exploding singularity of Lumas.

"*Do you hear the baby stars? These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday. When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star... And so the cycle of life continues. But the cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way... So...you'll see.*"
**-Rosalina, Super Mario Galaxy**
* Welcome, new galaxy.
