>this character is related to mario by blood because of characteristics children have (round face, stocky proportions, playful demeanor)
She is 13, if she were to be Mayor Pauline at 13, she would not look the way she does, nor have Mario's mannerisms.
>mario and pauline have abandoned their child for no discernable reason
They probably conceived her after Odyssey.
>the child of two well off celebrities is destitute for some reason
She probably stood on the street to practice performing in front of an audience.
>"timeline" and family tree gets extremely convoluted if it is the case
Please look at this timeline that I made.
>kid pauline being related to mario and pauline would be a REALLY big deal narratively speaking that wouldn't just be left out of her actual story in the game
It is left out so that the players can figure that out on their own.
>cranky kong was NEVER actually explicitly said to be the DK from the arcade games in any in-game media, that's just rare headcanon, and Cranky has also called current DK both his son and grandson interchangeably, implying that there's no set in stone internal canon for them
We will probably find out from Nintendo.
