Mario is semi-officially from Brooklyn, NY: but the Mushroom Kingdom Planet (for lack of a better word) is full of magical insanity. From floating blocks to the adorably merciless Yoshis; Mario's environment would be quite foreign to a real earthling. But Mario has a relatively simplistic story of 'hero saving the princess', and only occasionally does Mario consider 'realism'. Common civilians are easily overshadowed by the Mario Bros and their lives are rarely shown in detail. I want to ask: What is life like in the Mario Earth?

Disclaimer:

I will only mention the Mario Bros, Peach and Bowser in their indirect impact on this world. To mention these protagonists' lives would simply be me repeating the game lore, which is redundant. I will occasionally mention other characters if they are relevant to my arguments.

I will focus primarily on the ordinary life of a 'normal' character; like a Toad or a Koopa. I have seen Red, Yellow and Blue Toad use most of Mario's powerups, and Koopa using all the powerups in Mario Party; so I will assume that these characters can use any powerups. I am not considering uniquely powerful individuals like Blue Toad or the Koopalings; I am focusing on the standard ordinary Toad and Koopa and assuming that they have no unique abilities compared to other members of their kind.

I don't own every Mario game and I will not examine all of Mario's games, lores, powers, ect. Mario has literally hundreds of games, I cannot examine everything. I will examine only the Mushroom and Bowser Kingdoms: although I will consider some aspects of foreign policy. Main series games will be my primary sources. Spinoffs (including DK, Wario and crossovers) will be mostly ignored. I am focusing on consistency over outliers; no 'Toad is a planet-buster' bullcrap. Most Gameplay Mechanics will be considered as fact; although not everything will be examined. If it's not mentioned in the franchise I will NOT assume it; so Toads are not allowed to have guns since they are mostly/never depicted with them despite modern technology (like computers) do exist. I will only make assumptions if I can find evidence to support my statements.

If you disagree with me; don't badger me and call me an idiot. Give your own thoughts and arguments; I want to hear them. Just be civil regardless.

I will also mention that I am well aware that the Mario community for some reason views the very idea of a 'Mario canon' as some blasphemous taboo. I honestly don't care; I WILL be using information from Mario's lore because if I am forbidden from doing so, then I have no information to go by. Regardless of the reasoning; I have been badgered by multiple Mario fans because of this, I do not know why. Much of this is due to some outdated cherrypicked 'word of god' statement that should not be taken this seriously and should not justify attempts to censor me. If a 'Mario canon' offends you, then don't read this blog and PLEASE don't harass me about it.

For those willing to listen anyways; lets continue…
