^why do you even care if its canon at all, if the main series isnt ending just watch that and dont rag on this for literally no reason at all

because they might introduce new characters from this spin off, and we will be confused as hell
 
Aren't you a Mario fan though? The Mario series has so many confusing spin-offs, spin-off exclusive characters, and dubious continuity... This is pretty much kindergarden compared to that.
 
It's different. This follows on from each episode, whereas the Mario series is different games in different places, that might as well not even exist. The game's premise is the same, save the princess. It's pretty much just the same game, but with different elements. Some of the games might as well not even exist. It's not the premise that makes the games, it's the way that Nintendo forms the elements into a worthwhile storyline, and yet sometimes they don't even work, like in New Super Mario Bros. series.

In fact I don't know why you're comparing Mario to MLP, it's two very, very different concepts. My Little Pony has different story lines in each episode, so if they were to introduce a different character, and you were to miss that out, you would seriously be wondering "what the fuck is going on, where did he come from" where as in the Mario Series, they pretty much introduce one character in a game, and they don't reuse them later on. It's different for the Mario and Luigi series, since that series is literally like one big story, and they can use characters again in different story lines. And unless this is a different series that DOESN'T tie in with the original series, then we're going to end up confused and delayed.
 
I think the only character from Equestria Girls we might see again in Season 4 is Sunset Shimmer. But I think they can still have her and have every character have no recollection of Equestria Girls whatsoever.

It just might be awkward that her debut was Equestria Girls.

I think Meghan denied Sunset being in S4... Is a shame though, I like Sunset's design when she's a pony! And the whole "previous student of Celestia" could of have interesting ramifications in the show.

Apparently, you haven't seen my rants about Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Same, she actually looks pretty cool.
 
Also, on topic:
I'm gonna keep my judgement to myself for now, execution is a very important factor even if the setting seems to not leave much space for a good one... If I didn't know MLP at all and I watched a trailer showing the mane6 briefly I would most certainly think they are stereotypes, so I'll give it a chance!
I admit that the fantasy setting is a lot more attractive than this but point still stands.

No, it's actually pretty similar if you think about it. You have two continuities that (from what is apparent) only have a couple core characters in common, but feature a different cast otherwise. You can pretty neatly compare that to the Paper Mario series vs. the Mario&Luigi series. Both series have only the core Mario cast in common (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and I guess Toadsworth too), but otherwise feature new characters in similar roles. Yet still, people are perfectly able to keep both continuities separate. Nobody flew off in a panic at the introduction of Fawful, and fearing they would never be able to not confuse him with Kammy Koopa because both of them wore glasses and were the main antagonists' sidekicks. There's no need to do something like that with MLP either.

It should be pretty easy to keep this straight. If you can't do it that way, just think of it as a reboot, or like, a what-if-scenario.
 
But we're talking about what if Nintendo decided to take Fawful and stick him in the main series games. It just wouldn't work.
