please.

While that's true, I don't see the harm in discussing it really. There might not be consistent plot but Ninty bothered to bring back these characters, so they're worth a mention.

So, who is Morton Koopa Sr.?

Pretty sure comics junk isn't canon (as much canon as this series can have...). If that was the case we'd have Lemmy's Land shit running around for real, nobody needs that.

No doubt mistranslated or something. Plus I tend to ignore everything Shigsy says about this kind of thing as he's normally wrong.

So remind me again why we are debating things in nintendo games?

It's entertaining, just like Mario games themselves. Why do we play/buy the same damn thing 20 times since 1985? I don't know either.

I will admit, though, that franchises like Zelda (Hyrule Historia anyone?) or Metroid are more a subject for discussion.

I feel like Zelda gets enough discussion, Metroid on the other hand while I don't play the games def. don't get nearly as much attention.

but come on, it is obvious these were called siblings to actually avoid any kind of explanation such as "with who did bowser make out in order to have children" or "is there a Ms Bowser?"

that is basically how you managed side characters in the 80's-90's.

its like trying to make some sort of canon as to who are mario and luigi's parents, seeing they were basically spawned out of nowhere.

I disagree about them having no personality. Their general design already gave them some, and their animations in the NSMB games only gave them more. It's subtle, but it's there.

@ Meta: You're completely right, I agree. It's stupid to try coming up with alternative solutions of who the parents are, Nintendo doesn't even give a shit.

This is why I find it better to just say they're adopted, kind of makes everyone happy.

The stork isn't nowhere. The stork is hard science.

I don't get why it's stupid to kick back and shoot the shit about Mario.

Really, it's stupid to be such a clench-ass. Life is too short.

this is going to cause serious continuity issues and plotholes in the Mario timeline > .

Damnit Nintendo.

I think they are Bowser's parents.

Since their primary weapons are wands, maybe they have more of a connection to Kamek than they do to Bowser?
