Mario's world isn't necessarily built to make sense, and sometimes the lack of logic can easily skip over the barriers of common sense. This thread is for discussing little, absolutely unimportant things in the Mario series that aggravate you for some reason or another.
I'll start with two:
1. Why is it called Dinosaur Land if it's barely characterised by dinosaurs? The only dinosaur inhabitants--Yoshis, Rexes, Dino Rhinos and Blarggs--are few and far between. (Reminder that Dino Rhinos only appear in a single level.) The levels of Super Mario World aren't really concerned with letting you know you're in a land supposedly run by prehistoric reptiles, and instead you find a lot of contemporary elements such as moles, fish, caterpillars, and turtles. Though you could also make the argument that those caterpillars (Wigglers) are rather big, reminiscing of early geologic periods when the Earth was roamed by gigantic insects. Though that still doesn't have anything to do with dinosaurs.
Similarly, most of the lesser regions of Dinosaur Land are named after food, even though their actual environments barely communicate that. Seriously, what's wrong with this game's creative direction?
2. In the tutorial of Mario Tennis Aces, you can see an audience. Why would they be an entire audience at someone's training? (Or, depending on how you look at it, why would Mario train on a busy national stadium?) Imagine trying to learn tennis, or anything for that matter, and a crowd is watching, cheering, and flashing you for no reason.
