I don't see how Wigglers are descended from Pokeys... or anything from Poinks.
 
Cranky Kong offers his services for a fee in order to pay his bills.

Luigi's death stare happened because there were no Luigi-themed tracks in Mario Kart 8.

Pretty sure he actually says this or that they cut off his pension.
 
To me, I've always thought that the Super Mario Bros. Super Show explanation, that Mario and Luigi were in Brooklyn, but were sucked into a pipe during the events of Mario Bros., and taken to an alternate dimension, which was the Mushroom World.

Honestly, I feel Yoshi's Island is a bit of an anomaly with that, but I think that Yoshi's Island is, in fact, a completely uncharted island on Earth that creatures of the Mushroom World migrated into somehow.
 
Brooklyn doesn't have to be the one on Earth. There are a lot of places called Brooklyn, so why not Mushroom Kingdom get one too?

Well, keep in mind, it's just my headcanon. It's not really a theory or anything.

Although it's equally possible there's a Brooklyn in the Mushroom Kingdom, most of the stuff in the MK tends to be restricted to this sort of mixture between medieval and modern, while the Brooklyn seen in the many shows looks nothing like the stuff I see in most most Mario media that takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom.
 
Why medieval? Monarchies don't equate medieval, though they aren't exactly the most common political form in modern society. And the Mario takes place in plenty of familiar city locations from Mushroom City to Toad Harbor to Big Ape City and Koopa's Tycoon Town. I think Brooklyn, New York would fit right in, just with a Mario flavor.

Well, it's possible, but the idea that Mario and Luigi are unlikely heroes make sense, as they're plumbers. I understand there's pipes everywhere, and somebody probably has to fix or clean those, but it still seems rather odd that plumbers would be fighting the Sorcerer King to save a princess.

Even though a Brooklyn in the Mushroom World is likely, sometimes the above must be considered.
 
Maybe rename it to Blocklyn

They're super plumbers who happen to have quality traits heroes do, that's just what they are. Plumbers might sound mundane to us, but maybe Mushroom Kingdomians have a different attitude. And I don't think Nintendo set out to create that kind of strange scenario intentionally, just as how Mario's current design is merely from graphical limitations. I also think Mario is just inherently quirky (look how they play their soccer, heh), so the whole plumbers saving a princess from a giant turtle thing fits right in. They are cartoon characters, so I don't think it's odd in that kind of environment.
