There’s a fan theory that Super Mario Bros 3 is actually an in universe play.
Apparently Miyamoto confirmed it for at least Super Mario Bros 3, but the full theory usually includes the Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Mario sport games as well as a bunch of the other games. Basically, the idea is that the first game is in-universe real and the rest of the games are just a recreation of the first game with all the weird social and personal implications that would imply.
Ah, I haven’t played SMB 3 I wasn’t even born yet when that came out 😅 I mostly played the later 3D Mario games and a few 2D ones on my DS (GBA ones too).
I never heard that one before.
But they have a red curtain and everything.
