* Why did Bowser capture the Sprixie Princesses, anyway?
** [[ItsWhatIDo Change of pace for Bowser.]] I mean, they ''are'' princesses and he [[CardCarryingVillain just can't pass up the opportunity]]...
*** Maybe he was planning to use their magic in a world-conquering scheme. But alas, because of Miyamoto and his "no stories in Mario games, ever" clause...we won't know the truth.
** A certain youtuber came up with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGUaaE4Z8dc pretty believable and well-thought out theory]]. The short-answer: In order to build more castles, Bowser chose to kidnap the Sprixie Princessess. This is why some of Bowser's locations look different.
* What was with the 8-Bit Luigis?
** Advertising/TheYearOfLuigi.
* Other than a desire for visual variety out-of-universe, why and how do [[Videogame/SuperMario3DWorld Motley Bossblob]]'s colors change for each encounter? Does he just like to "express himself"? Or are there multiple Motley Bossblobs?



* This is a very minor headscratcher, but what is up with the red and green hammers that are owned by the Mario Bros.? Appearance wise, they're the same type of hammers wielded by the Sprixie Princesses. Are they special in some way?

*** My guess? Just like everyone else, Baby Sprixies [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland are delivered by storks]]. That or magical asexual reproduction.
** There are non-Princess Sprixies. The reason why all the Sprixie princesses are girls is because, well, they're princesses/girls. While one can assume that, since the non-princess sprixie's look somewhat feminine that they are, but... They all look very ambiguous. Considering that they're magical beings, they may not have any sex (in terms of genitalia or true sexual characteristics, [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not actually having sex]]) at all.
* In ''Bowser's Fury'', in the Blue Coin Bustle mission in Slipskate Slope, how is it possible to skate on SolidClouds?
** The same way you've been able to run on them since 'Super Mario Bros'.

** Back in Mario Sunshine the black goop did the same stuff, reshaping reality and submerging living Piantas and Nokis until Mario freed them. Its Magic Goop, We Don't Have to Explain It. And Bowser is only visiting, the place is probably a paradise otherwise.
