Your headcanons

Seeing as Super Mario: The Lost Levels is an alternate universe version of Super Mario Bros the original, I'd like to imagine that in that alternate universe, their versions of Mario and Luigi have also gone through harder "Lost Levels" versions of the other games or at least the main platformers. Like, Super Mario Bros 3: The Lost Levels, Super Mario World: The Lost Levels, etc.
 
So basically the kaizo hacks?
 
Mimi has to puke out a rupee per day if she doesn't use her spider form that day or else the rupees her body produces will get backed up and she will die.

Mimi also has to eat flesh every now and then or else her spider form would get out of control

The first three paper mario games happened in the real world while sticker star, color splash, and origami king happened in the book world. this is why paper jam had little to no mention of previous paper mario games beside sticker star, and why the paperverse now is very craft related, it always has been, but nintendo took the style before they took the actual stories from the book.

Oh, and yeah, i have a big headcanon on how nintendo basically contacts the marioverse and shit, i'm too lazy to write it out rn.
 
we wont see cranky kong being a ghost any time soon (as far as im aware) literally because hes too stubborn to die. he will live as long as video games are around
on the topic of that he is secretly the best gamer in the mario verse. youre a competitive esports player? a top speedrunner? something else i couldnt think of? sorry cranky can beat you in both if he bothered to play with/against you
 
Maybe Cranky could but there's no knowing how well he'd beat them or what's his strategy because he wouldn't be bothered to play e sports, as that's too recent.

much better take at the koopa phylogenetic tree i made .. last year (i thought i made it earlier than that). beware of a huge speculative biology headcanon dump!

the common ancestor of yoshis, birdos and rexes had a reduced shell. rexes and birdos have lost it entirely
snooza koopas arent much related to all the other koopas, having flippers and such. theyre highly adapted to swimming like turtles.
having a smooth, non-segmented shell is a particular trait of the quadrupeds, but has evolved independently in some bipeds like lakitu too. i feel like it might be a trait the immature koopas in particular have, considering koopalings have smooth shells and bowser has a segmented one, but the issue with that is that bowser jr has it segmented too. could be an effect of the royal jelly kinda magic?
the common ancestor of quadrupeds and bipeds might have resembled a standard koopa troopa a lot, but most species heavily diverged from there, besides bombshell koopas and troopas themselves
the common ancestor of spikes and buzzy beetles had spiked shells, but buzzies slowly lost them, with spike tops retaining one singular spike and the other beetles deriving from them
bipedality evolved independently multiple times in spikes, koopa troopas, and the other bipedal koopas. technically quadrupedal koopa troopas would go under the bipeds still and theyre the same genus as the bipedal koopa troopas
lakitus are actually closer related to chargin chucks and the squishy snouted ones compared to the magikoopas which still have beaked snouts like troopas
most species have hair (highly modified feathers, basically a very colorful and flexible rachis), some usually having it, some bald by default but hair is a common occurence, and some are entirely bald with exceptions being super duper rare! yoshis have this kinda hair too
amazing flyin hammer bro is either another species of the bros or are closely related to sumo bros i just realised i forgot to put them in there
the most notable trait of the bowsers species is their shell became completely attached to their back and non-removable, having squishy ribbed plates instead of the plastron.
weve got a lotta convergent evolution going on here! bipedality, spiked shells, smooth shells,
https://www.mariowiki.com/The_'Shroom:Issue_64/Theoretical_Macroevolution_of_Koopas walkazo's (bless her) take on something like this is honestly better thought out than mine and super duper interesting too please chekc this out too, but i still wanted to make my own! i think it would be interesting to see different perspectives on this

where would Draglets go? I will not forget those things
 
i still excluded most dinosaurs and dragons but theyd just be closer related to stuff like draggadon and hooktail. just. The Dragons i guess
 
If you include more dinosaurs then you'd have to include the other dinosaurs too. Like Cluckboom.
 
i guess i wanted to focus on the shelled dinosaurs?????? otherwise Do you know how many dam dinosaurs are there

i dont even really have much taxonomy knowledge this will kill me ................. i know youre jokin but. yknow.
 
news flash apparently everything that lays eggs is a bird even despite the fact that most animals, besides some rarer ones like most mammals and some reptiles/fish etc, lay eggs
 
I really want someone to create an evolutionary connection between Koopas and Kremlings, and then explain whether the former have any ties to the Krocodile Kore from DKC2 considering it is described as the "source of the Kremlings" in the game's instruction manual.

Anyway, while I don't equally like all the Paper Mario games that I've played (having in fact expressed disdain for SPM), I don't oppose the idea that all games in the series are comprised in one Paper Mario universe; that is to say, I don't consider the newer, "crafted" Paper Mario games to happen in another world from the "storybook" Paper Mario games. As far as I'm concerned, Origami King's Toad Town is just a refurbished version of its namesake from PM64 within the same world, in the same way we've known Peach's Castle to change appearance and surroundings in mainline Mario games. Likewise, you can take the ferry boat from Decalburg and Rogueport is thataway with a couple hours in-between.
