Ah so the better theory then is eventually at some point time travel is invented in the Mario universe and is used in wildly inappropriate manners.

I guess Partners in Time would be when the time travel was discovered! Conveniently explains child Pauline as well, I suppose. Well, the “how,” but not the “why.”
I remember when they did that with Breath of the Wild. Link literally has a WiiU gamepad that you can’t use on the WiiU. You can only use it as a main monitor.

A couple interesting bits:
Why are people so obsessed with connecting this game to some weird timeline
There are people who play Nintendo games for plot? Lol
It’s never made sense.

Why is Mario still young when Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong, is old?
It’s make-believe—it doesn’t need to make sense.
Many make-believe things do need to make sense to actually be enjoyable. Not Donkey Kong games, though.
WAIT CRANKY IS DONKEY?
My whole world has just been shattered
Yup! Notice the text in top left of the DKC manual:

Makes the DKC opening shot make more sense, doesn’t it?

Rare games aren’t Nintendo Cannon? (Idk just finding something new to argue about on the internet)
Nintendo isn’t consistent in their own games, so it doesn’t matter either way. Mario and Luigi race with baby versions of themselves!

Yeah we are never going to know why. Also why no shoes. Have they never been on the internet.
It’s simple market analysis.
Elden Ring has women with bare feet and is very successful.
Expedition 33 has woman with bare feet and is very successful.
…
Street fighter 6 and Juri support this as well.
Fucking gooners.
It’s interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.

That’s a new word to me, but yeah of course there’s a name for that.
Oh, banana!
