Reddit is filled with assholes who are so obsessed with theory crafting a series that's never meant take continuity seriously.
One example of this is the theory crafting for Donkey Kong Bananza. I have stated that theory crafting any Mario or Mario-adjacent series is a fool's errand. Yoshi's Island made that very clear.
Yes there are exceptions, Mario Land 1 to Wario Land 2, but those are the exception to the overall rule.
The Mario series (the RPGs, being a story-heavy genre notwithstanding) have never prided itself in story outside of the service of a gameplay hook.
