Seeing as Mario games and all their related spin-off series have all the continuity as a tube of Hydrocortisone cream, this whole Star Children thing is a junkheap. Can't Mario shoot fire balls simply because he can? Do we need an explanation for every little nuance, or are we allowed to let our imaginations do the legwork? I agree with Fry, this is the stupidest topic ever. QFT

Now now, lads. I've always found a healthy dose of Mariology to be just a step up above the mind-numbing bilge of Zelda theorizing.

Yawn. Another pointless debate topic about the Mario world's "consistency".
Again, can't we just agree that it's all one giant incoherent clusterfuck of events?

People and animals in the Mushroom World can have superpowers. It's not that hard to believe.
If anything, Mario is Nintendo's equivalent of both Superman and Captain America. The rest can be figured out by sheer common sense.

The fact that the Mario universe is impossible to theorize makes the games a lot more fun.
So you're striving to make them boring, or what?

Nope, I actually prefer it being simple, and enjoyable, characters like Mario,Wario,Peach, having their powers for no reason was a breath of fresh air, from the Marvel forums. Blame the stupid star children bit, that yoshi's island DS brought up! People and animals in the Mushroom World can have superpowers. It's not that hard to believe. Yeah, no doub't about it, but why the hell do people think that being a star child gives the Mariobros their powers!?( I thought most of you would know about the star child bit, but it's a good thing you guys don't, because it's complete trash) I personally think they don't. It's just some other "Mariologists" from other forums,(the utter fanboys) seem to imply this at a great extent!, plus Mario and etc were originally supposed to display these powers without any backstory, as seen in the earlier games prior to Yoshi's Island DS

I think the lot of us are long past the point of being nerds. We're the step above (below?) that already.
