Right, sorry I'd missed this. I do agree that now that I've been reminded consistency is the issue here, a further split in "mainline" is probably needed.Ok this is a bit later than I had intended, but here:
I think a lack of split in the “Super” games is kinda dumb. While some of the games obviously have very close relationships (e.g. Sunshine is a direct sequel of Mario 64) but even then you have to remember we are doing this split because it’s an explanation for Mario’s consistency, and we do need to have splits less basic than some I’ve seen proposed to actually show that consistency
Here’s my proposed groupings, I think these take the closely related games with canon or heavily implied links to each other pretty well.
I do disagree with some things though. 64 is at the very least greatly references by Odyssey, so that should be included in there. Isn't there a whole ass SM64 level with almost no changes in one of the Galaxy games? I'm not sure why the 3D Lands/Worlds, Land and NSMB are all thrown together, I don't see any real link.
Most importantly I absolutely think Paper Jam should be considered legit, they explain the mechanics between the two versions meeting and there's nothing that shows the opposite.
