Why is she a kid?

She's a teenager

Because Banaza is a prequel to the Donkey Kong arcade game.

>>716062023
Pre-teen*

>>716061941 (OP)
*hebe

>>716061941 (OP)
Because it works for the gameplay.

>>716062023
>>716062063
>>716062071
Yeah, a kid.

>>716061941 (OP)
lady & pauline are different characters

>>716061941 (OP)
because kids are cute and sexy

>>716061941 (OP)
so its out
whats the lore on lil Pauli and why she is so sex?

>>716062152
Wrong!

>>716061941 (OP)
Nintendo wants us to theorize about it, so I have my own theory.

>>716062408
>Nintendo wants us to theorize about it
The real answer is there l i t e r a l l y is no lore reason, at all. They just made her a child for gameplay reasons and telling fans to "theorize" about it is their lazy scapegoat.

>>716062407
>he doesn’t know about grandparents passing their name down
you might be special ed

>>716062507
Did they tell their fans to theorize when they retconned Zelda and Pikmin?
I believe that they know more than they are letting on.
The Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary is this year.
I sense that Nintendo has something massive planned for the franchise besides more Mario games.

>>716062507
doesn’t make sense & never confirmed, nintendo doesn’t want mario’s past associated with whipping kongs so jumpman is a different character

>>716062691
Tears of the Kingdom is all the evidence anyone needs that Nintendo doesn't give even the slightest fuck about continuity or lore across games. They only care about what is in each game individually in a vacuum. It's so shitty.

>>716062408
I have mine

DK is fucking prime Italian pussy?

>>716061941 (OP)
Because Nintendo is trolling timeline lore autists. Nintendo never cared about a consistent timeline.

Bananza Pauline says plenty of Mario phrases like
>Hoohoo!
>Yeah! Hahaha!
>Waaaah!
>Here we go! (Zebra Bananza theme)
>Oh yeah! (Ostrich Bananza theme)
>Let's (-a-) go!
>Woohoo!

>>716063760
Ok, well, what about all of the other traits she has from Mario?

>>716063943
replace pauline with wario, what is wario relationship with mario?

>>716061941 (OP)
I dunno but it makes this shit very uncomfortable in hindsight.

>>716063725
No, you are so retarded you should kill youself. There is no implication that Lady is Pauline's descendant, and the image >>716062407 literally shows Nintendo irrefutably and unambiguously calling Lady Pauline, and making clear that Pauline was the character in Donkey Kong 1981.

Pauline is a teenager in Bananza, which makes the arcade game impossible to happen before the events of Bananza. Which means Cranky Kong can't be the character in the game.

Therefore Donkey Kong = Donkey Kong
Mario = Mario
Pauline = Pauline

Not some gay fanfiction relatives. Do you need an AI to summarize this for you?

>>716064083
Wario is Mario's rival who is basically an inverted version of him.
He is not biologically related to Mario Mario.

They are probably well aware of the series' other entries involving Mayor Pauline.

No? That's a dumb thing to jump to.

>>716063461
Why is she pacing like that?

>>716062507
Holy shit this. These are games made for three year olds. They and Nintendo do not give a fuck about lore.

Why do so many people on 4chan pretend to be pedophiles

>>716064508
Not him but it's such an obvious thing to jump to that it'd be bizarre if it wasn't what they were going for. DK's grandpa, Cranky, kidnapped Pauline's grandma. It's the only way the original arcade game makes any sense.

It's a prequel to Odyssey and Nintendo wanted a character who could sing for the transformations.

>>716063461
>when she as too choose between BWC and BWC

>>716064694
First hand source, explicitly says Lady is Pauline
>Waaay back in 1981, a new action game using barrels and girders hit arcades. That game was Donkey Kong, in which Mario had to rescue Pauline from the title character. Maybe she wanted to look less like Princess Peach—she changed her look in the Game Boy version.
>One fine day in 1981, the world was introduced to a new action-packed arcade game – Donkey Kong! But back then, the girl Mario was trying to rescue from Donkey Kong wasn't Peach – it was Pauline. Also, did you know that in Japan, Pauline was originally just called "Lady"?

Meanwhile everyone has a grandma, and the arcade game makes sense when you get over rareware's Cranky Kong lore as a joke.

Nothing prevents DK Arcade from happening after Bananza when Pauline grows up. Its actually the only version of events that makes sense.

Sex appeal

Why is Pauline jumping like Mario if she has no relation to him?

>>716065487
why is wario literally dressed like mario if he has no relation to him?

>>716065487
Is Tails related to Sonic because the both can do a spindash?

The fuck is with the jeans? The devs couldn't come up with anything to match the rest of her savage outfit?

>>716067274
It was intentional.

>>716067493
Well, it's a stupid design choice, the jeans clash way too much. have her wear a tattered blue ribbon with an "M" on it if you have to hammer the point into the dumb consumer's brain.

>>716066250

>>716067707
She does have an "M" hidden in her hair.
It also looks like a mustache.

obviously its a retcon. nintendo has been retconning all sorts of shit in the past decade and honestly making lady separate from pauline is one of the least egregious, shich is actually refreshing

>>716066794
because you're a retard and a faggot

>>716067929
Then why bother with the jeans then if it's that obvious? The jeans are tacky at best. They should've gave her a more consistent design.

>>716066794
So... in what timeline does Bananza takes place if it's a prequel to Odyssey?

>>716068253
Hmm, is it more likely that Nintendo would recton their most historically important title, the first big hit Miyamoto ever produced, to make it so that their mascot and iconic characters are not featured in the game, and it actually stars a bunch of nobodies and Cranky Kong

Or

Nintendo just un-retconed the Rareware joke lore that Cranky Kong was the original Kong, which has never been supported in any official Nintendo game?

Yeah number two.

>>716068425
I think they want it to be a twist.
A lot of people still haven't picked up on all of the parallels between this new Pauline and Mario.
Except for this person here.
She gets it.

shes 13

>>716068571
>has never been supported in any official Nintendo game?
Saying this is just retarded, come on. You use Smash Bros as a source to back up shit, but then ignore that this (Cranky being the original DK) is also mentioned there on purpose. Fucking nigger.

>>716068506
It takes place after Odyssey, in the same timeline, probably 13 years into the future.
New Donk City looks more modern since we last saw it.

>>716061941 (OP)
They couldn't make her a squid now, could they?

>>716061941 (OP)
it’s a children’s game

>>716069106
And?

>>716063516
the english translation is full of rewrites and fanfic, it's most noticeable when you got to bed because they'll make up a whole paragraph of shit when she said a word or two in the japanese voice acting
>Yeah! Hahaha!
is one of the more annoying ones during gameplay because her actual line is way shorter and has no laugh

>>716069106
then why is she so sexy? for children?

Everyone in this thread should consider the following.

>>716069729
You forgot to mention the "M" in her hair.

>>716069729
while this game's continuity leaves a lot to the imagination and raises a lot of questions, there is one thing i am unshakably confident in:
mario does not fuck. shiggy wouldn't allow it. so, she is not mario's spawn. merely a spiritual successor if you will.

>>716064481
To be fair, Mario comes across as the bad guy here.

>>716069875
It's in this one.

I wish there was a holocaust on autistic people. RFK Jr's autism 'work camps' can't come soon enough.

>>716070115
jews man

>>716070060
Unironically, Mario is racist and hates DK just for being a nigger???

>>716069909
What if he is allowing it now?

>>716069106
Adults aren't allowed to enjoy video games? Since when?

>>716070218
Mario have sex
Save the Nintendo population decline

>>716070316
Since they became adults and put away video games to pursue leadership and practical skills for society, like an adult should

>>716062023
Yeah keep telling yourself that.

>>716070169
DK isnt a nigger, he is a monkey, monke though is their word dont be saying the hard -eeeee

>>716070576
oh, sorry. I didn't mean to insult monkes.

What if Miyamoto wants the subtle Mario narrative to come full circle before he leaves us?

>>716070440
Adults can't enjoy video games during their free time? Sounds like a shitty life. Maybe the dude should stop trying to impress that office chick that won't be into him because he can't make a million dollars a month.

>>716070715
no worries my monke

She's not jewish though

>>716070858

post it

>>716070886
are you sure?

>>716062063
A loading screen in the game explicitly states she is 13. Nothing "pre" about her.

>>716070858
Que?

Not sure. Nintendo doesn't care about canon.

>>716071472
Aw hell naw. I thought she made it abundantly clear in the SMB movie.

>>716071180
They probably care more about Super Mario's canon than the canons of their other IPs, since Super Mario is their flagship franchise.

>>716064086
Even with Pauline at age 13, it could be assumed that DK is the same age or younger even in Bananza. Gorillas can look full grown at 13 - 15. Plenty of characters outline DK as a "young gorilla". Still no real context as to where Bananza fits in the timeline though, so who fucking knows?

I love how Nintendo don't give a fuck about timelines and lore, it just makes retards mad. They literally just use cool concepts and ties to other games for flavour, nothing more. Even Zelda's timeline isn't treated with any respect and that one is actually published.

>>716071537

>>716071563
That was before the rape corrections after numerous kidnappings to the point Peach couldn't quickly deny if Bowser Jr. was her kid in Sunshine.

She's a kid because it's a prequel to Super Mario Odyssey any other answer is just cope

Pauline III is half Homo-Nintendonus and half Homo-Sapien.

I can't wait for nintendo to never mention young Pauline ever again

>>716071953
You don't want to know, there was a lot of disturbing things posted in it

>>716072454
>babies
She's basically an adult here

>>716072176
I really hope they dont introduce some kind of split/divergent/reconvergent timeline into fucking Mario, but that really is what's left isn't it. We had Mario World, Mario Galaxy, Mario throwback to celebrate the series. What else can they even explore except some dumb Marvel multiverse shit? Calling it now, a soon to release Mario game will feature alternate timeliness, and then Nintendo will drop an unsatisfying official "Mario timeline" that handwaves a bunch of shit by just calling it alternate universes. I don't want it, but I can feel in my bones that its on the way.

>>716072523
And mario is of the human subspecies homo-mario-mario

>>716072523
And young Pauline is Mayor Pauline that's why she gets taller

>>716062507
This is the right answer but I think at least one person on the team does have an idea in mind, even if it'll all be undone by the next game, leaving clues specifically for fans to talk about. Even just from a business side it did wonders for From games.

>>716072454
better yet, they can still exploit these characters more, make a baby Pauline version and then a teen version of the rest of the baby cast

>>716070812
Adults shouldn't HAVE free time. If you aren't being actively productive with your time, you are a faure to society and deserve to face the wall.

Retconning Pauline into Lady's granddaughter is such a lame choice. She lost her defining trait.

>>716072646
No.
If she was a Homo-Sapien, she would have grown to as tall as Mayor Pauline's shoulders, and her facial structure would look almost exactly like Pauline's.
Instead, she is very short, and her facial structure is more round, like Mario.

>>716072916
What defining trait? It's OK if your headcanon doesn't come true you don't have to just make shit up

>>716072915
that's why you post here in the middle of the day

>>716072937
>her facial structure would look almost exactly like Pauline's
News flash children get less round as they age you can stop at any time man I promise

>>716072915
Indeed. That's the exclusive domain for 3 types of people: criminals, welfare recipients, and the born wealthy.

>>716072969
She was the girl kidnapped in the original DK. Now she's not that anymore.

Why not?
Nintendo never cared for the timeline, young Pauline and Mayor Pauline are one in the same.

>>716073054
Brokie issue

>>716072862
Rosalina already had a "kid version" that appeared in story book format in galaxy. No reason the rest cant get one as well.

>>716073005
If only I was Mario, making babies with Pauline and then ditching her as a single mother and letting my daughter hang out with apes because I got Peach oneitis.

Oh my fuck why did they give her such a FAT ASS

>>716073063
Yeah you're right actually this retcon for a 1980s arcade game actually ruins everything now it's over Mario was killed by woke

The events of Odyssey are soon after the end of Bananza. Pauline simply found a mushroom, and instantly became adult Pauline.

>>716073092
Time management isn't a universal trait.

That's not what I said you dumb nigger

No, there's a collectible that implies the arcade game already happened. Pauline herself also references time spent at city-hall at one of the getaways in the Canyon layer.

Which New Donk City looks more modern?

Shut up, supermariologan

>>716073905
Why are you arguing in bad faith?

>>716068506
>>716068906
It's a prequel to Odyssey - Pauline isn't Lady, and the latter's items even appear as a fossile, implying that her and Pauline are separate characters.

Why is it so hard for people to understand retcons

Hey Eric, could you please stop being mean?

Weird stance to take, but not surprising that some third world mudhut dweller might come to a stupid conclusion like that.

>>716068906
so do kongs age fast or slow? you cant have cranky age fast and then suddenly decide DK ages slow

>>716069729
is she daisy's daughter?

>>716061941 (OP)
Nintendo sees a growing market that they want to capitalize on.

>>716076753
How will Twitter react when they scream that everything like this is for pedos

>>716076612
Kongs age faster than humans, but not that fast.
Cranky in Donkey Kong Bananza probably has a few more Kong years left before he passes away.
Rare DK is now probably as old as Cranky was when he kidnapped Mayor Pauline and fought Mario Mario.

>>716075125
almost like she's a child pauline

>>716076743
Everyone except Mario Mario is ruled out simply because Mayor Pauline and Mario Mario are in a romantic relationship.

>>716062052
DK kidnaps her after she goes through puberty because he's horny, even though she already had child bearing hips as a child, and looked 1st trimester pregnant in bananza? I don't get it, explain it to my smooth brain

>>716077008
but she jumps the same as daisy, so she must be daisy's daughter

>>716061941 (OP)
isn't this game only like 4 hours long? who cares?

>>716077090
Only if you wanna speedrun it.

>>716077008
>Mayor Pauline and Mario Mario are in a romantic relationship.
Once again reminding you that your headcanon borne out of Peach rejecting Mario at the end of Odyssey is not reality

I was able to figure out Bananza Pauline's height.
The blue line represents how tall Bananza Pauline should be if she is supposed to grow up to be Mayor Pauline from Super Mario Odyssey.

>>716077505
I'm sorry about your mental retardation

>>716077654
How am I unintelligent for connecting dots like Nintendo asked all of us to do?

>>716077785
The images you added prove nothing were is the basis for where you placed the blue line

>>716066254
do you know how mario characters work?
they all look the same and do the same shit, is yoshi mario's son because he has the same shoes and says "wahoo"? or is it the game devs using similar elements in the series to give the player a sense of familiarity?

>>716077505
Now remove the heels and the hat Einstein

>>716078000
Because if Bananza Pauline grows up to be Mayor Pauline, she should be as tall as Pauline's shoulder, because she would have gone through her growth spurt, making her nearly as tall as a full-grown adult.

But she isn't.
She has likely gone through her growth spurt, yet she is about as tall as Mario.
And she has thicker eyebrows, and a more round face.

>>716077505
when did Mario and Pauline fuck?
was it rebound after Peach dumped Mario on the moon?
Or was it way before and Mario was trying to marry Peach despite impregnating another woman who loves him unlike that Toadstool hoe

>>716078532
It was probably after Mario came back from the moon.
Mario probably went back to New Donk City and started his Mario Toy Company.
The events of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games happen, and then Mario and Pauline conceive Pauline III.
There could be a timeskip of 13 years between Super Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Bananza.

>>716061941 (OP)
An adult Pauline would've been too big to ride on Donkey Kong

introuces herself as Pauline during the scene with the first Bananza Elder

>>716079283
So she is Pauline.
Why all the speculation?

>>716062408
Why would they push mario and pauline in the games while also pushing mario and peach in the movie? Seems like it would confuse Nintendo’s audience

>>716061941 (OP)
To appeal to me

>>716079496
Nintendo's audience are braindead and don't think at all about continuity.
Only consume product

>>716079396
Because there are multiple Donkey Kongs.
Cranky Kong is still Donkey Kong, he just made the "Cranky" nickname part of his identity.
Cranky DK passed the "Donkey Kong" name to his grandson Donkey Kong.

>>716079396
People think that the game actually can't be an Odyssey prequel because of one sole meta joke that Cranky Kong makes and one guy that's buttblasted because Peach rejected Mario at the end of Odyssey keeps trying super hard to push this "Pauline in this game is actually Mario and Pauline's daughter" thing

>>716079179
Free Diddy...kong

Mario and Peach are now just good friends.
If The Super Mario Bros. Movie came out in 2013, Mario and Peach likely would have kissed.

>Mario wants to get married
>Pauline tells Mario she loves him in a song and a celebration
>Peach just wants to be good friends
>Mario goes back and marries Pauline
>They have Pauline III

>>716080225
OK but you do understand that that has infinitely less basis than everything else present both in Bananza and other canon sources outside of the game

>>716080587
How?

>>716080136
wait... is she DKs daughter!!!!

>>716080225
Why do you insist on calling her Pauline III. Woul make more sense to be calling her Pauline Junior like you have been for the past few weeks

>>716080893
Mayor Pauline is Pauline Jr. and Lady is Pauline.
I was calling Bananza Pauline Pauline Jr. until she mentioned having a grandma.

>>716081230
post line about grandma

>>716081547
Everyone is talking about it.
I'll go look for one in one of those compilation videos.

>>716081230
Yeah the grandma is implied to be Lady (who is only referred to as Lady and not Pauline) but nowhere does that imply that this Pauline just has the exact same name and the exact same talent for singing but is Pauline's daughter from Odyssey somehow

>>716081737
But isn't Cranky's son DK Jr. and DK Jr.'s son Rare DK?
And isn't Rare DK Cranky's grandson?

>>716082009
How does that change what I said explain

>>716082193
Because Mayor Pauline could be the Pauline equivalent to DK Jr. while Lady from the Arcade game is the Pauline equivalent to Cranky Kong.

All these threads have taught me is that most people are retards that can’t understand even the slightest of subtext/visual storytelling. Even in a game made for literal babies

>>716082315
"Could be" yes, but again where is that implied? Why do you keep ignoring the more obvious implication that this is a younger version of Pauline from Odyssey considering that her entire character arc is that she learns to get better at singing over time

>>716082478
is the subtext that the microphone she caresses is supposed to be a black cock?

>>716076341
pauline if she indian

>>716082478
It's not that he can't understand he just refuses to understand because again he's mad at the Odyssey ending that Peach rejected Mario

>>716082539
Because perhaps each new Pauline gets her singing ability and performs at City Hall, like rite of passage?
Kind of like how each new Donkey Kong kidnaps a Pauline and/or tags along with his father as he kidnaps a Pauline?

>localization is fanfic
Can we stop with this meme already? Japan allows this shit nearly every single time. Nintendo definitely isn't glazing over such things. If they didn't like what the filthy gaijin wrote in their localization, then they'd say so. Do you have any idea how many emails full of notes get exchanged during localization? Literally ask anyone who works in that field. They'd talk your ear off.
>n-no th-they just don't care what the BAKA GAIJIN get
If they didn't care, then why are they the arbiters of quality writing to begin with? That makes zero sense. They would obviously care how their work is portrayed overseas. Get real, man.

Yes, the original Japanese script for a game can sometimes give you a deeper insight as to what the developers intended, pre-localization, and sometimes things get cut or changed, which is gay, but again, and this is critical, so pay attention: Japan allows it to happen, stupid. Find me ONE (1) instance where Nintendo of America made a change to a game that Japan didn't approve of. You never see articles where developers were like:
>Wait what? They changed WHAT in the English release?? I had no idea!
Because it almost NEVER happens. ESPECIALLY to a fucking first party Nintendo game of all things. You think the nips were just all hands-off about how NoA wrote the script to Bananza? What is clearly intended to be a major system seller game for their new console? Do you seriously believe that? Be fucking honest, man.

Being a weaboo is a fucking mental illness, I swear to god.

Isn't it suspicious, that in the sequel to Super Mario Odyssey, the game with Mario and Pauline bonding in New Donk City, there is now a smaller Pauline, that is jumping up and down like Mario, and making "Hoohoo!" noises, while every other character is the same age?

Atleast he's contained here.

This theory shit is gay. Hasn’t the game been out for like 2 days? Are you telling me nobody has beat it yet to know for sure what the fuck is going on?

>>716103970
The details in the game very heavily lean towards indicating that it's a prequel but of course this guy is just mad that his headcanon was disproven by the direct (picrel)

>>716103970
nobody actually plays games on /v/ anon.

It's a prequel. Donkey Kong is obviously younger. K. Rool has no idea who he is until you first release him. It's set when Mario was roughly a teenager.

>>716103970
Everyone has beat it.

why are retards using the fucking Mario movie as if it's a source of canon and lore when it was a blatantly phoned in cash cow full of pop culture references with characters that don't look or behave like the game versions at all?

>>716076753
The safe horny market was already tapped out by gacha, now devs are going for safe pedo.

>>716063051
It's like James Bond where instead of there being a wide array of Bond Girls, there are instead a wide array of Mario Girls like Pauline, Peach, Daisy, Bow, Rosalina, etc.

Honestly? Fuck lore. Miyamoto was in the right. Mario is NOT a series of elaborate novels telling a linear story. Nobody should care. The stories should be whatever they want.

So why was Pauline scared and crying for help in the original DK games if they we're Friends?

>>716065487
She's barely getting any airtime. No way she carries the Mario Bloodline.

>>716104385
Except, when prequels and sequels break previously established rules,
the interest is distorted.
UNLESS you tell me there's no canon, or it's a non-canon spinoff.

The retcons are not a problem if they're good, but usually they're not.

>>716073931
They knew

>>716104174
I hate canon, but the Mario Movie is not a bad representation of what Mario is. Early Mario is about a guy from New York that suddenly ends up in a fairy tale world, and the orange girders and green pipes in SMB1 are references to the arcade outings. Obviously the Mario Movie does not contain the Donkey Kong arcade story, but it has a presence where it could've existed in an alternate universe. And don't just say the Mario Movie is unimportant fanfic, Miyamoto did the story. The ultimate point is that story in Mario is very loose and stupid.

>>716104684
Mario lore is deep and masterfully crafted

>>716104684
The Super Mario Bros. Movie seems to adapt Super Mario 64 with the power stars and Super Mario 64 references.
I wonder if The Super Mario World Movie would involve the characters and Yoshi going to Isle Delfino, and if a Super Mario Sunshine sequel 3D Mario game for the Switch 2 could tie in to that.

>>716061941 (OP)
Og Pauline is her grandma, the one cranky dealt with, regular Pauline is her mom, the mayor, this one is the kid of the one from oddesey they're trying to make them friends this time so they reworked it to be the Pauline to this dk, cranky being th ogs, Jr the mayor, and this one the kid.

You know what I'm talking about right?
Those are the type of ads on the billboards in New Donk City in Donkey Kong Bananza.

New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey had billboards lit up by lightbulb borders and lamps above them, whereas now, they are giant LED screens on the sides of buildings.

To reduce sexual tension between her and DK. For pedos it's the opposite, unfortunately.

>>716077505
Pauline was made monstrously tall in Odyssey because New Donkers in general had realistic human proportions. In literally any other game Pauline's appeared in, she did not have that height or those proportions.

>>716062052
Pauline mentions her grandma once, I'm pretty sure nu Pauline in Bananza/Odyssey is OG Pauline's grand daughter like how cranky is the OG DK.

>>716105126
Mayor Pauline is Bananza Pauline.
She mentions being kidnapped, that is obviously now reconned from the arcade game to being bananza and the voidco incident

>>716082478
All these fucking ‘Pauline III’ posters have zero idea that Bananza makes it extremely clear it’s an Odyssey prequel and nobody wants to work around that one concrete story detail.
DKC trilogy > Bananza > Odyssey. Figure out the rest you fucks.

>>716118148
Pretty sure it's DK (arcade) -> DK Jr -> DKC1/2/3 -> DKCR/TF -> DK64 -> DK Bananza -> Odyssey

If the response given by the writers to the fans is "you figure it out" then it's clear that the real answer is that there is no answer at all.
Think about it, if there was a clear answer, there'd be no theorizing, that's why there can't be one.

Deliberately left vague until a leak forcefully revealed that it isn't meant to mean anything, at best it can only mean anything to Ash and if that's the case then it's just Ash's mindset.

Shadow is almost identical to Sonic in appearances and abilities because Sonic Adventure 2's theme is good and evil and Shadow was designed to be the evil Sonic.

>>716118219
The real answer is that og Pauline is nu Pauline's grand daughter in literally the exact same joke / twist as Cranky being the OG DK.
We are probably going to find out at some point that jump man / Mario in DK/MB is Mario and Luigi's grandfather and "Luigi" in MB is their great uncle

>>716118209
Okay now where the fuck does DK 94 go in there because it has both a grown up Pauline and Mario as well as a young DK Jr?

>>716118390
After DKJr before DKC, since that DK and Pauline is Cranky / Lady

>still trying to deduce the nonsensical Monkey Kong lore

>>716118531
Isn’t the crux of the whole ‘Lady isn’t Pauline’ thing that they don’t look like each other? Pauline in 94 is where her current design came from.
Also does not explain Mario and not “Jumpman” being here.

>>716109803
Lickable

DK Arcade takes place after Bananza. All versions of Donkey Kong, Mario, and Pauline are the same character and Cranky and the fossils are just making cheeky joke references. This is backed up by interviews with main staff and the games themselves.
Deal with it and move on.

>>716063051
what does "giving the mustache to pauline" mean?

>>716118791
The thing is that the Mario/DK universe is fictional. It's totally possible for it to have its own canon timeline of events and a separate realtime set of references. The events of "previous games" that haven't happened yet "in the timeline" are possible to reference because a fictional universe can be anachronistic to itself. Cranky is simultaneously the 8bit arcade DK while those events have not happened yet in universe because it involves the current DK and Pauline when they're older. The references are there for us, the viewer, looking into this world from the outside. It's meta.

>>716118390

>>716119561
A good way to wrap your head around it is that Cranky is an “actor” who played the original DK and current DK is the new younger actor. They both have played the same character, but Cranky makes jokes about his time in the DK role despite now playing the grandfather to his original role.

>DK Jr has the same condition as Hasbulla Magomedov
That’s an acceptable head canon anon.

Wait didn't k rool drown new donk city in like, half a km of lava?
Did Pauline and DK use the dragon ba- er banandium root to bring everyone back, or did a few million people just straight up die there?

More like Nintendo doesn't care about the lore that much and just make games with references

The only people allowed to die in Mario are Wrinkly Kong and Rosalina’s mom.

The implication that DK stopped giving a shit about Pauline and didn't watch her sing in Odyssey as she lives out her dream is kinda funny

Truly a black father at his core

so peach is a cuckoldess?

He watches her sing in the end of Bananza. He probably isn’t there all the time because he got Bananas to eat which she encouraged him to do

I think Mario and Peach ended on good terms and they agreed to just be good friends, so Peach probably doesn't care.

This is A-OK but somehow wapeach is out of the question? That's not fair nintendo, give our brat peach a shot.

I wouldn't mind it if they wouldn't present the games in such a lore heavy way. Like how they offered story recaps of BOTW before TOTK only for none of it to matter, or how they focus more on voice acting and story telling.
Somehow nintendo tells us story is more important while making it less important in the same breath

I sure everyone is perfectly fine.
