But he doesn't have a nose.
My logic: Mario is the same species as princess Daisy. Daisy's face point is not large enough to be called a nose. Daisy has no scar tissue on her face, therefore her face point hasn't been shortened by external factors, and therefore H. nintendonuses lack noses.
I'm really not sure where you're coming from with the "It's not a nose!" theory. Anyway, for all you know, Daisy's nose could have been a malformation from day 1, there's nothing against that. In fact, if you look at Baby Daisy's nose, it's even smaller, and there's no scar tissue, so that does seem like a more logical theory to me.
As for your lack of consistency with body type thing, you will always have extremes within a population, but you will also have similarities in body type, such as Peach, Daisy, Rosalina and Pauline, as well as Mario and Luigi (In two separate groups, before you say anything about that, I'm not comparing the whole lot).
And from what you're saying, it sounds like you're classing Pauline as Homo Nintendonus, in which case, why is she the mayor of New Donk City, which you're suggesting is the New Donkers' nature reserve, rather than a New Donker? And she would have to be a resident, so what species does that make her? And if she's Homo Nintendonus, then it's not really a nature reserve for the New Donkers, is it? That part in itself doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, there isn't really very much natural about New Donk City, I think you need a better term than nature reserve.
