I never understood how this became popular in the first place, to be honest.
Like just think about it: the only reference to 11-D in Mario, as far as I know, comes from that Master of Disguise Warrior game on the DS. And the reference in itself comes from one of the items you can get in the game being called String Theory Soul, with the description saying:
"All the secrets of the universe are contained in this soup. Drink not, lest you learn more than man was ever meant to know." |
I don't know how anyone looked at this, missing the comedic tone of the game, and said that this was legitimate. Especially since, again, this is the only known reference to this sort of shit in the franchise afaik.
