Rosalina Theory ► bit.ly/1d1W7VW
Nintendo's star character Mario has been in over 70 games. 70 GAMES!!! Which leads to the question, does the Super Mario series have a discernible timeline? Or are Mario games, like many have been led to believe, a random assortment of games with no attention paid to continuity. While this may ultimately be true, there ARE details in the Super Mario games that allow them to be pieced into a timeline order...and the implications of that are SHOCKING!

But... this proves that Mario isn't as mental as we all thought. He obviously hates Luigi because of his stealing Peach from Mario. HE wasn't the one to preform the animal abuse on DK, but rather his father. And his idolization of Pauline isn't because he's a promiscuous psychopath, but because Pauline is his mother.

[@larsen1298]

draconian warrior well he still abuises animals, freind(yoshi) and the citisens of the mushroom kingdom. I guess we were wrong with the womanizing since he clearly just moved on. I wonder if he were taught to be mean to others by his farther.

Wait a minute... This theory totally busts the Mario is mental theory. For a first, the crazy guy torturing animals is jump man, not Mario. The other thing is how he acts toward luigi. If you had a brother you trusted and then he "stole" your love, you would probably not act so nice to him when he finally achieves something. Also with peach and Mario no longer being together, and Pauline being out of the picture as Marios mother, it would mean that Mario is in fact dating daisy. Thus Mario only having one lover. But hey that's just a theory buster... A game theory buster, thanks for reading.

[@ReySilverskin]

MatPat busts his own theories all the time. Case in point: every FNAF video he's ever made.

[@matthewjohnston9774]

That is true but current Mario still tortures living things like toad and yoshi. But olimar tortures living things more by throwing pickmen.

[@KingRynoD.LeonhartTMB]

Not all theories link up None of the theories should be taken 100% seriously as they are nothing more than just theories

[@KingRynoD.LeonhartTMB]

The Bandog But that's all it is; a theory. Theories are nice to think about and can be proven to be real things but shouldn't be taken as actual facts. Mario is a friendly kids game so they're obviously not gonna actually put in facts about him being a psychopath and I doubt that they thought too hard about this elaborate timeline. They're just nice to think about

[@KingRynoD.LeonhartTMB]

The Bandog The dictionary definition of "theory" is; "a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained." It doesn't mean it's 100% true. It's a belief. If I'm sounding like I'm forcing my opinion or anything I apologise, I don't mean to sound rude or anything

[@Sinn0100]

I just realized something I never really paid attention to before now. MattPat, do you remember your Mario us evil theory? There is a crucial piece of the puzzle that you're missing and it's so bad...you can call it the smoking gun. Forget about Mario stepping on Luigi's foot after a tennis tournament...I want you to turn on any copy of Super Mario Brothers 3 and watch the little skits before the demo starts. You will see Mario get his racoon tail and send a turtle shell hurtling at Luigi. Remember, these things are deadly when they make contact. He quite literally tries to maime Luigi at the start of the game. There is nothing brotherly about that at all...

You can't really see the eyes of jump man well, but blue is not a particularly common color among Italians.

My theory is that Jumpman and the Pauline from the original DK games actually had _3_ children: Mario, Luigi, and Pauline the 2nd. That would explain how Pauline can be both Jumpman's girlfriend in the OG games and Mario's damsel in distress in the modern games. To add even more to this, in the OG DK games, Pauline is wearing a pink dress and has orange hair, meanwhile Pauline in the modern games wears red clothing and has brown hair, adding to the idea that they're not the same person.

[@McGliga]

You just disproved the "Mario is mental" theory then... 1st he never abused animals, that was his father obviously 2nd his abuse of Luigi was clearly from the fact that Luigi got his girl, so Mario was trying to "get revenge" 3rd he clearly wasn't promiscuous, if Daisy became his girlfriend AFTER Luigi stole Peach from him, and Pauline (if thats how you spell her name) is their mother Pretty much the only evidence you now have for that theory is the fact that Toads were turned into bricks, and as far as we know there is no spell to turn them back, so it could just simply be Mario putting them out of their misery, since he can't help them

[@McGliga]

Well....does all that kinda kill the Psyco Mario theory? Or does it still hold?

[@InsanityProdutions]

JohnnyFireFlame Well, it just means he's either a little less psycho, or since ASPD can be hereditary under certain circumstances, that both are crazy.

[@GameTheory]

JohnnyFireFlame It's interesting...a lot of the animal abuse stuff actually would apply to Jumpman, especially in relation to his pet gorilla (eventually Cranky). And it also renders him hopping between multiple women (Daisy, Peach, Pauline) as no longer relevant. That said, SUPER Mario does still abandon Yoshi, neglect his brother, destroys all the bricks, and crushes things with him own body weight...SO...like father like son :)

[@lilyawoodburn]

15:46 RIP Ronnie, thank you for the wonderful contributions you made to this channel and its community 💕

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

You could argue for THREE Mario's, since "Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam" would imply that "Mario" and "Paper Mario" are two different characters. By that logic, pretty much every character that appears in the Paper Mario franchise would then also have a non-paper doppelganger. I'd also add that somewhere you can fit in the three Yoshi games that don't feature Baby Mario - Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Woolly World and Yoshi's Crafted World. These games must take place either just before the arrival of baby Mario, or just after the events of the Yoshi's Island series (after Baby Mario's departure), since the main antagonist is still Baby Bowser.

[@jonathanballmann7569]

Mario spent his life being the hero, leaving Luigi in the shadows. However, Mario had no time for romance, but Luigi did. Luigi started a relationship with Daisy. It started out genuine, but he secretly resented his brother for his fame. Peach really cared about Mario, but again, Mario was too busy being everyone's superman to just be her man. Luigi was there and charismatic, so eventually, a late night turned into more. Heartbroken, Daisy left Luigi and went to another country where she got into trouble. Mario felt the call of the restless hero and went to save her. At the end, Daisy is afraid of being alone and Mario is tired of all the violence he's committed in his years since leaving the plunger behind. The two fell to pieces together, but at first, neither was complete enough to really give each other the love they deserved. Daisy helped Mario with his PTSD and eventually, their bond grew stronger. Luigi and Peach's relationship was founded on pettiness, but no one else needed to know that, so they kept up the charade of a happy couple and went swinging on the weekends.

[@activediamond7894]

This got me teary eyed.

[@Pensfan5919]

I mean, there is also the theory of the Starbomb song "Luigi's Ballad", that of Mario being an overly aggressive, in-your-face guy when coming on to Peach, while Luigi is a lot more noticably sensitive. Now, even though we don't hear from Daisy, we could simply believe the idea that Peach (who chooses Toad at the end), just wants something different for a change, but eventually gives in to her own thoughts of Luigi being a sensitive shoulder to cry on. In this timeline, we could also tack on the idea that Mario catches Daisy on the rebound, making these relationships all make sense.

[@LONDONOFFICIALMUSIC]

[@anthonya.a5082]

Paper Mario in pretty sure that's no the same universe Still beats up and kills innocent turtles and is mean to his bro, if anything this just proves that Mario's craziness is on his father's side

[@ericmoreira670]

x9natedawg It's shown in Luigi's Mansion that the Paper Mario series is just a book(Which makes sense, as the characters are made of paper). Therefore it shouldn't be in the theory.

[@chafos]

x9natedawg the paper mario series takes place in Rosalina's story book during Mario Galaxy making an alternate timeline. This is also where that one Dr. Mario game takes place.

[@tashreeqbassier6220]

This could also be wrong in which case the mental theory could be right. They both can't exist at the same time but the older one isn't wrong because a newer one needs it to be. After all they are only theories

[@NeonShockzWithExtraLightning]

MatPat, doesn't this disprove your Mario is Mental theory? If Mario isn't the one who was electrocuting the animals and all of that, it was his father, that's one down. The timeline says Mario DIDNT cheat on Peach, another one down. His treatment towards Luigi is how a lot of older brothers treat their siblings, so we can just say he's a jerk. If I missed anything please tell me

This made sense until Odyssey was released. Pauline. She is young (in her 20's around) and talks about her being captured by an ape. Which makes Pauline supposed to be very old.

[@xylynthian753]

TheOutsideMatrix You have to consider that an insane person might engage in incest.

[@theultimatememelord5494]

My theory is that Mario is missing takes place shortly before the events of Super Mario Land. This is because of Bowser clearly DYING onscreen at the end of the game. Here's how I think it goes: Upon learning of Luigi and Peach's wedding, an enraged Bowser kidnaps Mario in order to lure Luigi to him. Once Luigi arrives, tired of the constant cycle of kidnapping, he shoots Bowser out of a cannon, causing him to freeze to death and shatter. With his mortal enemy dead, and his brother having stolen the girl, Mario moves to Sarasaland, building a new castle and well, you know the rest.

[@smellycat3861]

"..and one that makes a LOT more sense than some others.." *[Cough cough FNAF]*

[@Sourcy]

This show REALLY needs a Hotline Miami theory on the timeline and events that happened in both games It's extremely vague and nothing much has been said about this game, it really deserves some spot light.

[@maddoxx3808]

[@anonymouse3758]

SourceRabbit I think it would be really fun to have more timelines, but the Hotline Miami franchise is probably not famous/ mainstream enough to theorize about. Not trying to be mean at all, but it isn't a game everyone can relate to or think of playing. ;/

[@mandyhiggans]

***** typical bot

[@Towern96]

SourceRabbit I haven't played the second yet, but I've read the comics before the launch. About the first one, which I completed about 3 times (them achievements) was kinda straight forward..... There are two "endings" the normal one where you complete all of the jobs and kill the mafia boss or whatever, and the other one, an alternative timeline where the biker survives the encounter with "you" the protagonist, searching for the root of those calls. If you collected the password ("iwasbornintheusa") you'll understand a lot about their practises. It's kinda stupid (it probably has a lot more to it) but they're just a bunch of nationalist psychopaths who targeted... psychopaths, to do they're dirty work. Now, how do they found the right guys for the jobs... and what compelled those guys to mass slaughter... I dunno. Maybe I'll understand in the second one.

[@fredrikljungkvist5880]

Where does the Paper Mario games fit into this timeline? And what about Dr. Mario, in which Mario is a doctor and Wrecking Crew, where Mario is a demolition worker?

[@Jayjar100]

Fredrik Ljungkvist Here is my exclamation of the Paper Mario Games and the Spinoffs (Kart, Baseball, Golf, etc) In Paper Mario, Luigi's dairy states that he misses the days when they went go-karting and playing golf with his brother. Which means that all of the golf and karting games came before this game. And we know that SPM came after the first two Paper Marios because of that small pictures of the partners from the previous games. As for PMSS, in the Egnimansion,(I hope I spelled that correctly) when Mario turns around and sees the Boo, he gets freaked out. Which means that he has never seen a Boo before. And the Boo's first appearance was in SMB3. Which means that PMSS came before SMB3. But wait, Bowser JR is in the game, so that's impossible! Or, the fact that the "new" galaxy came so that Mario completely forgot about Boos and various other things. Which means that this takes place between SMG and SMG2. But where do the other three Paper Marios and the spinoff games come in? Sometime after PiT, the adult perspective. Why? Well, how else would the babies be able to time travel forward in time to go go-karting with their adult selfs? So, here is my new timeline. Jumpman Era: Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr Baby Era: Yoshi's Island Yoshi's New Island Mario Luigi Partners in Time (Babies) Spinoff Games (Babies) Yoshi's Island DS Adult Era: Mario Bros Super Mario Bros Super Mario Bros: LL Super Mario Bros 3 Super Mario World Super Mario 64 Super Mario Sunshine Luigi's Mansion Super Mario RPG Mario Luigi Superstar Saga Mario Luigi Partners in Time (Adults) Spinoff Games (Adults) Paper Mario Paper Mario TTYD Super Paper Mario Mario Luigi Bowser's Inside Story Mario Luigi Dream Team Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Super Mario Galaxy (The reason this comes before the NSMB games is that the "New" Galaxy would trigger "New" games) "New" Era: Paper Mario Sticker Star Super Mario Galaxy 2 New Super Mario Bros New Super Mario Bros 2 New Super Mario Bros Wii New Super Mario Bros U Super Mario 3D Land Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (I can't believe he forgot this!
