Hi everyone!!! Thanks again for SO MUCH support on the Mario map video, I never expected it to get anywhere near this much attention and it means so much that people are enjoying it!(:

Another video is on the way! (It’s not another map one just yet, those things are a lengthy process lmao) I’ve been moving this week so it might take a little longer to cook!

Thank you once again! I’m genuinely over the moon right now!🥰

Okay so first off THANK YOU so much for over 100k views on our latest video!!! This one was a solo endeavor from me (Charlie) that I had been putting together in my spare time for fun and I never expected it to explode the way it did!

I figured I'd write a quick FAQ because whilst I usually try and respond to all comments, this video has gone too far beyond me having the time unfortunately! I'm extremely thankful for the comments all the same and will try answer the most frequent questions I've seen but I can't get to them all!

I'll preface by saying that almost EVERYTHING in this series is contradicted at some point or another and this is no right answer to basically any of it. It's not a series that was designed to be mapped out which is what makes the exercise so fun! It allows for creative liberties and gives you the ability to weigh up evidence for and against something and ultimately make a decision!
One persons interpretation is as valid as another and this was the version that made the most sense to me!
Polite debate is very much welcome but I strongly discourage being needlessly rude to others in the comments section because they disagree with how a very loosely established fictional planet should be mapped out, it's just a bit of fun guys!(: No need to insult each other!

Q: What about Evershade Valley, Last resort, Wario Land 3 etc. etc.?
A: If ANY specific game/location isn't mentioned, its simply because there wasn't enough evidence to draw a conclusion worth mapping out. Wario Land 3 takes place in a music box for example, Master of disguise in Wario's TV. There's nothing that suggests WHERE those things are so mapping it would be a complete shot in the dark and not worth doing imo!
I do mention "the Luigi's mansion titles" collectively in the Darkland segment which is why 2/3's locations aren't mentioned specifically.

Q: Doesn't Throwback galaxy mean 64's painting worlds are real?
A: Very possible! Imo not enough when faced with the 3 official sources that suggest the painting worlds aren't real.
In the same way the SM64DS changed level designs aren't canon because it is a reimagining, I don't think this differently designed whomps fortress (less pushing blocks, no canons etc.) that doesn't even share the same name is absolutely the same place. It's in a completely different galaxy, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine it's just similar or with a name like "throwback galaxy", maybe the galaxy itself somehow cosmically constructs it's own image after an observers memories! That's kind of fun!
Either way, the evidence against them being real out rules the evidence for in this case imo!

Q: Isn't subcon real because of BS Super Mario USA?
A: Maybe yeah! Like I said earlier, this franchise contradicts itself a LOT. I overlooked this in my research so I'll happily hold the L on that one!
In subcon's case, I chose to go with the original SMB2 canon that shows Mario waking from a dream and since we haven't seen subcon or wart since, I believe it was probably just a regular dream but there is absolutely evidence to support otherwise! This is entirely up to your interpretation!

Q: Shouldn't Hyrule/Metroid/Sonic etc. be canon because of cameo's and spinoffs?
A: I believe cameos are just that. At some point you have to draw a line and say "Okay Link's in Mario Kart" but that doesn't make zelda canon to Mario because he originates from another non-canon franchise unlike Banjo and Conker and if he does exist, he'd be a complete idiot for sticking to horses when hover cars and spaceships exist!
As far as Sonic goes, he's only ever met Mario at real life locations so even if you do chose to believe the olympic games are canon, they definitely don't belong on a map of Mario's planet!

Lastly, I've seen a lot of people ask for a PNG of the map so here's that! imgur.com/a/ENJThJu

Not even gonna pretend like we aren't absolutely over the moon and haven't been excitedly watching our sub count in disbelief the past couple of days!! (:

Hitting 1k Subscribers wasn't something we thought we'd actually achieve, much less as quickly as we have and it's entirely down to how supportive everyone who's watched our content has been!

Thank you SO MUCH for all your comments, kind words and feedback!!! and Most of all, thank you for taking a chance on us! We hope you all stick around for a long time to come!(: <3
