Ryu Number: Fu Hao
So says Wikipedia: the oldest Chinese dynasty folks are archaeologically sure about is the Shang Dynasty, and most of the written records recovered from the Shang Dynasty come from the reign of Wu Ding, c. 1250 to 1200 BCE. People actually weren't sure whether Wu Ding was a real person or not till the turn of the 20th century, which just goes to show how easy it is for Big Important Past Events to go all Ozymandias on us. Don't like thinking about that.
Historically, marriage as been a way for rulers to solidify their alliances. Wu Ding was apparently all for alliances, because he took on over 60 wives, which is more than even your modern harem anime. Only three of those wives ascended to queendom, though, one of which was Fu Hao. Fu Hao also served as a military commander, leading successful campaigns against surrounding tribes and ethnic groups.
She has a Ryu Number of at most 3.
Bad ending screen from the PC version of Mario’s Time Machine, reached by taking too long to return the misplaced artifacts, or returning them in the wrong order. Note that the water in this bad ending is more detailed and realistic than any water seen during regular gameplay.

Mario's Time Machine Is Not Canon
So Mario's Time Machine is game people consider to be canon but I believe it is not canon for a few reasons.
One reason is Mario's Time Machine doesn't really fit well in the Mario timeline. It doesn't make much sense for Bowser or Mario to have access to time travel this early in the timeline. This is because the creation of E. Gadd's time machine in Mario & Luigi: Partner's In Time is treated as a major event to the extent there is a Lakitu Bros. news report on it. So it doesn't make sense for Bowser and Mario to just so casually have a time machine before the events of this game. Btw, Dr. Crygor probably developed his time machine tech separately and wasn't talked about since it was in Diamond City.
The second reason is this game alongside other games like Hotel Mario is probably on the same level of canonicity as the Supershow. This is because Nintendo basically licensed the characters to Toolworks, while Nintendo's staff and even Miyamoto did not have any hand in it. Note that even games like Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars at least had input from Nintendo's staff like Shigeru Miyamoto. With Miyamoto saying it didn't make sense for Mario to be riding a horse and wielding a sword, but rather to be riding Yoshi and wielding a hammer. This would probably put Mario Is Time Machine on the same level as the Supershow canonicity wise, and the claim it's always the same Mario wouldn't apply to this game.
The Final reason is Mario's Time Machine contradicts the current canon of the Mario games. Mario tells Kublai Khan that he is from Brookyln while Kublai Khan says he sounds like he is from Italy. "Brookyln? Bah! Your accent betrays you! You are obviously another bold explorer from Italy!" This is the Mario is an Italian American Immigrant from Brookyln origin that was never stated in any confirmed canon game or manual. This is not canon to the games continuity and is only canon to the Movieverse and Supershowverse. In the games Mario is a native son of the Mushroom Kingdom and immigrated to Big City as some point.
RDR2 streams are done, time to post shitposts (plus a mario’s time machine cameo!)
