It all arose when I wrote a completely BS summary to Mario Galaxy on Wikipedia in response to my brother who thought Rosalina was evil. I quickly reverted it but it got me thinking about the cliffhanger ending. So, next day in the car ride to Baton Rouge for Christmas, I planned out "The Space Between Spaces: A Super Mario Adventure", a Mario game heavily based on story. It involves Mario and Bowser each getting along. It explores their back history and some "tragic past" incident they need to overcome. The story goes along that Mario and Luigi's parents were killed in a tragic accident, and Mario and Luigi join a gang called the Plumbers. The Plumbers all wore different colored hats. Mario was a red "M", Luigi was green "L", Wario was a yellow "W", and Waluigi had a purple reverse L. There was also Bob, a guy with a blue "B", and the mysterious black "X" who wore a hoodie and an obscured face. The Plumbers all wore gloves to perpetrate crimes with. This is also where Mario got hooked on "magic mushrooms". Mario and Luigi are arrested, and escape with the help with a mysterious wizard. Unfortunately, Mario and Luigi cannot return to this world, where they are wanted criminals. The game also involved Bowser's wife, and why she left him. I only got a certain length before I realized that no matter what, I could not sufficiently make a compelling story and in the end would just become bad fanfiction. Well, that was my theory...

If by "theory" you mean "completely made-up utter nonsense", then yeah...

If by "theory" you mean "completely made-up utter nonsense", then yeah... Well, I never said it was perfect, nor it should be accepted as canon. As in, even I don't take it seriously. A true "theory" wouldn't have been nearly as fun.

It's fanfic. Refer to it as such.

This thread is a perfect example of why this one was so stupid.

This thread is a perfect example of why this one was so stupid. Must of missed that one. Proposed game aside, the Mario Gang theory is not the same "true" theory. See, there are two types of theories. Type One: This type is obsessively researched, cites dozens of sources, and is completely unlike the other theories on the Internet, yet makes perfect sense, if you read that deeply. The author swears by this one, and expects others to join their cause. Type Two: This type is the Mario Gang theory. It's barely researched and features flaunted ideas. The author doesn't expect anyone to take it as truth and was merely an idea tossed in the air. Likewise, the author does not take it seriously himself.

Who established this? As far as I can tell, one is fan-fiction based on fact, the other is fan-fiction based on fan-fiction.

See, my sister has a friend who's really into Zelda and formulated some extensive stuff. And I did not base my Mario Gang theory on fanfiction. Neither did my sister's friend. I only wanted to share this and have people add to it, and have some fun discussion on it, not tell me its some piece of crap.

This seems like the types of fanfiction used for Flash movies.

Except you did. You completely made it up. And I really don't give two shits about your sister's friend or your cousin's brother's nephew's roommate's uncle's godfather's dog or what-have-you.

I don't know about a gang called the Plumbers. Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi don't seem very gangster to me. I could see Koopas forming a gang, especially the Hammer Bros. Just so long as they handled it with the same attitude they did the mob in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I wouldn't want to see Grand Theft Auto: Mushroom Kingdom.
Also, I think they're trying to say that your idea is fanfic, not based on fanfic.

This thread is a perfect example of why this one was so stupid. Don't be an ass, this has nothing to do with anything I wanted in a Mario story. I don't want silly "tragic pasts", or overly serious crap like this guy has.
