in mario lore there is one thing that wasnt fully explored here and that is Parallel worlds existing in verse itself as today i want to break it down on what is a parallel world in mario
now lets start shall we?
Parallel world
in mario lore there are cases of many-worlds interpretation as evident in both games mario and luigi partners in time and mario and luigi bowser inside story
in superstar saga professor egadd comfirms that he was building a new time machine
here it shows that he decided to built a time machine before the events of super star saga even happen and this decision leads the whole partners in time shenanigans as we know how it went
but in bowser inside story is interesting for multiple reasons here
mario Remembers the shroob invasion but he doesnt remember that he and luigi helped their past counterparts during Partners in time
as it wierds as it sounds you may argue that mario does remember the events of partners in time but he rather saying that he dealt the shroobs as baby rather than telling starlow a whole complicated time travel story he and luigi went
but this argument falls apart as we see in shroob boss battle that both pirncess shroob and elder princess shroob are ALIVE but frozen
but in partners in time mario and luigi Killed both of these princesses later on elder princess shroob appeared later as ghost
all of this can mean in one thing , partners in time didnt happened in actual timeline , as not only mario doesnt remember the adventure he went in partners in time but also both princesses from the shroob army being alive in bowser inside story despite we killing them in partners in time clearly showing the differences between two timelines
and you may ask how did this happen?
this happened in one thing , Egadd decision , is clear that professor Egadd decided to build a time machine and eventually this decision lead in events of PiT but is clear that in bowser inside story Professor Eggad DIDNT made the decision to build a time machine in first place and mario eventually didnt experienced PiS events
this is a clear many worlds interpretation as in bowser inside story the actual timeline professor Eggad didn't decided on building a time machine and that action branched a timeline where he DID decided to build a time machine showing that every action you take it will branch a timeline where you did a opposite action
and in super paper mario tippi makes it clear that future isnt defined as everyone can make their own destiny
and is stated that there is infinite lives living in mario world as there is hopes and dreams that fills up the infinite space

the scan obviously doesnt mean actual dream worlds themselves fills up the space , it rather refers that there is countless individuals living in infinite space
if there is infinite individuals , then each of them is making decisions in which will branch into a new timeline and there must be countless timelines since there is infinite individuals doing their decisions and those decisions will branch new timelines as these people will do the opposite action
showing a clear presence of timelines in marioverse
The known parallel worlds
there is parallel worlds that has been shown in games as there is alot of them
Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels
it was stated by the staff of the game that the story that is being told is a whole parallel world
and its history is the same as the oirginal world expect that mario faces bowser brother instead of bowser himself
meaning that the events of the Original SMB branched a new possibility as a what if mario faced bowser brother instead of bowser
showing that possibilities are parallel worlds aswell
Paper Mario
this world was introduced in paper jam as kamek states that the paper mario world is a parallel world
as this parallel world was stated that only paper mario events happened
as it is supported by the fact that paper peach in game doesnt recognize starlow at all showing that events outside of paper mario games didnt happened in that parallel world
Mario+Rabbids
Mario plus rabbids was comfirmed to take place in a parallel world
then in Q&A about the game canonicity , Davide soliane comfirms the parallel world pre-existing and was only twisted by the washing machine and later on the megabug
Davide Soliani : We like to think about it like one of the possible multiverse, mixed and twisted by the incident in the basement, between the washing machine and the various objects in it. The world was pre-existing, but it got twisted. Or at least, that's the way we have imagined that. It's a Mario & Rabbids universe.
this not only comfirms that there is a multiverse of parallel worlds/timelines but also the parallel world itself was pre-existing supporting the notion that timelines not only are branched off by actions but also reinforcing the notion that possibilities are worlds in this multiverse
Luigi Mansion 3DS
in the remake , luigi mansion has luigi and professor Eggad meets future eggad who states that he is contacting them in order to test gooigi
but luigi in Luigi mansion 3 he doesnt recognize nor remember Gooigi at all
meaning that the story of Luigi mansion 3DS takes in a different timeline as luigi in original game didnt met future Eggad while in remake he does meaning luigi from the luigi mansion 3 is from the original game timeline while luigi in remake is a different luigi all together
The Size of the Parallel worlds
we know now that there is parallel worlds aswell having infinite amount of them but we need to know their size
is clear that in paper mario world and mario plus rabbids world they are labeled as parallel universes
but why mentioning them exactly?
is clear in super paper mario that Void was about to consume all worlds , all dimensions and all of existence but the destruction itself was about to erase the universe as count bleck plot was revealed by Tippi that he aims on destroying the universe and she threats this destruction as the destruction of all worlds
would be a entire multiverse as it was accepted for count bleck speed tier that he went through the infinite multiverse in which is all contained in universe itself
meaning the universe in his context is the mario multiverse but labeled as the universes and these parallel worlds bein called parallel universes can mean that each parallel world contains parallel version of the mario normal multiverse
meaning void was only about to destroy the multiverse of a single parallel world as it its destruction would be only affect the multiverse inside a parallel world rather than erasing all parallel worlds with it
meaning each parallel world contains the multiverse in its own
now lets go to the last layer
The Save Slots
yes you heard me right , save slots are canon within the narrative of mario but how
in partners in Time stuffwell states that since he installed a program that allows him and mario to time travel , mario can use it to travel to the save slots as stuffwell labels them recent pasts
saving is a thing in mario lore as everybody is aware of saving
heck everybody saves their save slots
as i stated above there is infinite lives living in infinite space in mario world meaning if everybody can save , then there must be infinite save slots due of infinite people saving their pogresses
and the size of a save slot is big as it can house timelines themselves as in luigi mansion 3DS luigi and professor egadd meets a future version of eggad who i explained is from the original timeline but in another save file the same will happen again as luigi and eggad will be suprised to see future Egadd and in another save file the same will happen again meaning save slots houses the multiverse of parallel worlds
is way comfirmed in mario RPG that we use earlier times which is a item that is stated in multipe languages of mario RPG to be a time travelling device
and 3D culex being omnipresent
but if we lose the fight , we will restart bu culex doesnt remember you going back in past despite him being past , present and future in that state
meaning we moved to another timeline by using earlier times and if we check in save files in game , we see that we are in same save file despite we moving one timeline to another via earlier times
showing that parallel worlds are contained in a single save slot
In conclusion
now lets start shall we?

showing that parallel worlds are contained in a single save slot
In conclusion
- There is existence of multiple timelines in lore as they exists either by evens being branched or being possibilities
- there is a infinite amount of them due of infinite individuals making decisions in which will branch endless timelines
- events and feats of partners in time shouldnt be used for the main cast due of the events happening in a different timeline rather than the actual timeline
- each parallel world contains a multiverse
- there is a multiverse of parallel worlds
- void was only going to destroy the multiverse within a timeline meaning void shouldnt scale to the rest of the multiverse of parallel worlds
- save slots are canon to the lore
- each save slot contains the multiverse of parallel worlds in its own
