In this high-velocity sequel to our shared-universe deep dive, Ben, Tom, and Gregory double down on the multiversal madness, chasing the tangled vines of the Donkey Kong–Mario–Banjo–Conker extended family tree until it loops back through Captain N, Saturday morning cartoons, and possibly your breakfast cereal!We’re talking warp pipes as dimensional portals, New Donk City as Earth-Prime-with-bigger-hats, and why Larry Bird might be the keystone holding the whole Nintendo continuity together! From Mario Party cake lore to Yoshi Island time paradoxes, from Punch-Out referee gigs to Smash Bros “toybox” rules, it’s a chaotic flowchart of what’s canon, what’s “actor rules,” and what’s just a fever dream starring Inspector Gadget!Continuity Conundrums Covered:New Donk City: Real city or Mushroom Kingdom backlot?Baby Mario paradox: native of the Mushroom Kingdom or Brooklyn transplant?The Game Boy Valiant comics: two Marios or just one portable gig?Captain N rules vs. Smash Bros rules vs. “Mickey Mouse actor” rulesDoes DK age in Earth time or Mushroom Kingdom time — and what does that do to Cranky Kong?Crossovers & Connections We Absolutely Didn’t Make Up:Crash Bandicoot + Spyro + Skylanders + Donkey Kong + BowserSonic comics → Archie → Punisher → Predator → Kiss → RamonesNicktoons fighting game: Spongebob + Avatar + Ninja Turtles + CatDog + Invader ZimSky-high sports web: NBA Jam + ProStars + Bird vs. Jordan + Captain N Larry BirdShonen Jump all-stars punching out of their own manga into someone else’s plotOne-Liners from the Multiverse Frontlines:“If Mike Tyson’s in your game, that’s not Mike Tyson — that’s Mr. Dream wearing a Mike Tyson mask.”“Banjo’s in one jungle, DK’s in another, Mario’s in a third… and they all require different warp technology.”“The Mario Party cake might be canon — but only if it’s also Peach’s birthday cake from Mario 64.”“Wario’s an in-universe backdoor pilot, Waluigi’s just a desperate casting choice.”“Every timeline works differently… but they all work, somehow.”Hour two of Audible Death Glare is where the rabbit hole meets the warp pipe — and we may never climb out!
