A tiny little extra
The author Stephen is playing New Super Mario Bros on his Wii in his bedroom. When suddenly a random stranger named Tom bursts into his room.
"You're full of it!" Tom said in an annoyed tone.
"I beg your pardon? Who the hell are you and why are you in my house?" Stephen said slightly alarmed.
"Mario has been to Brooklyn in the games! He's been to Brooklyn before Super Mario Bros!"
"Oh brother…." Stephen shut off his Wii. "Look I'm sorry, I did my research. Nothing in the games manuals for Donkey Kong 1, Jr and Mario Bros, states that it takes place in Brooklyn and the games don't look like Brooklyn. Look at Donkey Kong why is there fireball creatures in Brooklyn and as for Donkey Kong Jr, since when are there jungles in Brooklyn and enormous machines that Mario uses to electrocute Donkey Kong Jr? And look at Mario Bros! If you play the GBA version, why is there lava at the very bottom? When did Brooklyn's sewers have lava!?"
Tom attempted to apply "But….."
"Also let's look at Donkey Kong the ape himself, why did he decide to leave the mushroom kingdom or wherever he's from, come to Brooklyn and kidnap Pauline? Don't you think in a normal world full of humans he'd notice that he'd stand out and people would try to shoot him? Also look at Mario vs Donkey Kong Minis on the March for D.S, why does it take place in the Mushroom Kingdom and not in Brooklyn? Don't you think Pauline would want to be remembered on Earth and not in a fantasy world?"
Tom attempted to reply again "I….."
"Mario being from Brooklyn is not canon! So what's your proof, that's he's lived in New York IN THE GAMES!?"
"Punch-out for the NES has Mario as the referee. And that takes place in Bronx, New York."
Stephen had just been verbally bitch slapped in the face. He just stared ahead…
Tom smiled "What's your explanation for that, smarty?"
"Okay….how about this, in the games, at some point Mario decided to take a vacation to Earth, and took a vacation to Bronx, New York, he then went and saw some boxing, loved it so much, that he applied for a job as a referee there. He then went and got a priceless artefact in the mushroom kingdom sold it at a pawn shop and rented an apartment. It didn't mean he spent his childhood there…"
"BULLPATS! Mario's lived in Brooklyn! Mario's lived in Brooklyn!"
"I give up…" Stephen sobbed on his desk.
THE END.
