anyway the mario series does literally have canon. just because its "constantly in flux" and "bows to the whims of gameplay first design" doesnt mean its not there

i think mario kart 8 sucks bc it isn't exactly the same as mario kart ds actually
the reson why you never think of mario and luigi being twins (as opposed to: just brothers) is that they fall into exactly zero twin tropes thanks for coming to my ted talk
put those mfs in tha timeloop (with reasons!)
star fox (star fox snes/64/zeros multiple paths and endings)
samus (searching for speedrunning perfection)
mario (marios life is already much like a timeloop, where the events keep repeating. why not make it real for a bit and see what happens)
mario kart ds is the best one i don't make the rules
