I think this is pretty neat. It links most all of the Mario series together and establishes a canon of sorts. Definitely worth a watch.
 
Mhmm, yeah, no.
 
Everything. There is no timeline. At best you could string together certain series but the entire thing? No way.
 
and then the series as a whole is bizarre

i mean mario, luigi, and peach dont even look like they've aged for starters

too many things dont connect and generally dont make sense
 
Pretty much. Its an amusing idea to try and draw some line of continuity across the entire series but the fact of the matter is that Mario and co are the video game equivalent of old cartoon shorts where the characters are set in similar roles but are altered for the purpose of the specific cartoon, or in this case video game.

Ok I was really sceptical at first, but this is actually really cool. And it all pretty much makes sense. Really cool.

Until you actually think about the specifics, then it just falls apart.
 
Its pretty simple. There are way too many inconsistentencies across the franchise's history. Ranging from locations changing, alterations of character personalities, the effects of power-ups etc etc.
