** There's also the mindset of "If I can't rule the multiverse, then no one will", which would still equate to wanting to make the multiverse cease to exist. Besides, technically, he left a shadow of his power behind, not a shadow of himself, and it was also explicitly stated that it will last long enough to destroy all existence.

** The game sort of implies this to be true... Then again, there are several pieces that imply a much, much deeper plot at hand. [[spoiler: Dimentio is Merloo, the Ancient sage who is never mentioned outside of the stain-glass picture of him, which when tattled, says had similar abilities to Dimentio and was also involved in writing the Light Prognosticus. If this is the case, Dimentio wrote ''both'' books, plotting things to go exactly how he wanted for many years.]]

[[WMG:Mario and Luigi's surname is Gonzales.]]
That's where Mario's Glitz Pit stage name, the Great Gonzales, came from. I'm guessing the reason they're not called the Gonzales Brothers has something to do with "Mario Brothers" having a nicer ring to it.

[[WMG: ''Thousand Year Door'' is a theatrical reenactment of the real quest.]]
The events of Thousand Year Door had been noted to be compiled into book form--or, if we want to WMG further, ''Luigi'' was the one who went on the adventure (as evidenced by his letters to Mario and the Super Paper Luigi book series), but ExecutiveMeddling in the universe where Paper Mario was published forced them to change the protagonist to Mario because they believed that nobody wanted to play a game with Luigi as the protagonist. However, somebody somewhere felt sorry for Luigi, putting in the Easter Eggs about Luigi's quest, and Mario can still "cosplay" as Luigi via badges.

This explains why you have an audience cheering you on in the battles - it really is all just happening on a stage, and "Star Power" is part of the gimmick to keep the audience involved.
* ...And Hooktail ''eating'' the audience?
* And for that matter, Cortez eating the audience's souls, Lord Crump sucking the audience into a giant mecha and using them as cannon ammo, and [[spoiler: the Shadow Queen ''absorbing the audience into her own body.'']]

Incidentally, the end credits somewhat support this theory, since the lady ghost is shown on stage with Mario in the theatrical reenactment of "his" quest.

You fought Peach possessed by the Shadow Queen, and Luigi fused with a crazy clown. Don't be surprised if Mario gets brainwashed at some point and leaves your team. Maybe even final boss status...

[[WMG: Mr. Hammer, Spikey Tom, and Spikey John are traitors to the Koopa Troop.]]
That quiz show seemed a little ''too'' helpful. Not only does it provide Peach and the player with information on the next Star Spirit, but Mr. Hammer gives you a super-special item perfect for sneaking around just for '''participating''', tells you how to use it, and makes a point to specifically tell you ''not'' to use it to go sneaking around. So, basically, he gives you information, ideas on how to get more, and the means to do so. Doesn't he come off a bit obvious? Mr. Hammer is secretly on Mario's side and is playing his part in sabotaging his de jure king.

[[WMG: Dimentio is [[EternalDarkness Ulyaoth]].]]
I played Eternal Darkness first, of course, but just looking at the character sheet for Ulyaoth after having played SPM made me laugh... and then be mortified at the idea. Alternately, he's Xel'lotath after going even more crazy as a result of whatever rites or process turned him into an Eldritch God-figure.

Isn't this pretty much canon? The Shadow Sirens seemed to be sent out to make sure the Thousand Year Door was opened one way or another. (that's Beldam in the opening cutscene giving the map to Peach, btw)

* Alright since this is [[WildMassGuessing Wild Mass Guessing]] I made I believe to be true... Count Bleck mentioned that Dimentio left a shadow of himself, Shadoo is still alive and controlling the Chaos Heart! And why Shadoo wanted to be the heroes of prophecy? Well, because he wanted to destroy everybody! And where is the real Dimentio? Somewhere in the Underwhere most likely... I call this idea! It's mine! I made it! If anybody makes a fanfiction like this I'm afraid you can't!

But he needed a pawn - Count Bleck - and used him as a tool to carry out the plans of the Dark Prognosticus.

* OK, he was insane, but he obviously opposed Count Bleck's plans about destroying all worlds. Yet, many says that, after his final defeat, he tried to destroy everything in a TakingYouWithMe attempt. Wrong: what ''is'' said is that he leaved a shadow behind him, so that it could control the Chaos Heart into destroying everything...I add, everything except the Heart and the shadow themselves. Then the shadow clone could have created an universe for himself '''and''' ensured his existance beyond the original's death. Basically: "I'll follow the Count's false plan...or at least another myself will."

[[WMG: The name requirement for the Twilight Town Warp Pipe was made because of Doopliss]]
* Perhaps Doopliss was banished to the region to prevent him from spreading his sick pranks further across the land. Think about it... a demon who keeps his name secret for his most potent magic to work wouldn't write it down on himself, therefore Doopliss would never be able to use the Warp Pipe to leave. of course, once Mario exposed his name to get his identity back, Doopliss could freely write his name down and flee Twilight Town, and consequently he appears in later chapters.

[[WMG: Grodus is a robot that Beldam purchased on E-bay.]]
