*** Physics be damned in the Mario universe. But if this troper had to guess? The "Power of The Stars" helps everyone to breathe in space. Obviously, unless you wanted to really nitpick at the logic, water does not apply this.

*** The only entrance is through an underground clear pipe that goes through a pink void, so it's probably another world. That, and the fact that the Mushroom Kingdom was at night in the 3D World intro while the Sprixie Kingdom is in daytime.

** No one ever said Mario couldn't. When Mario Captures someone or something, Cappy is still present on their heads. Nothing says that Mario, when Capturing someone or something else, can't throw Cappy in that state for a multi-level Capture. It's just that Mario doesn't do so until that point. And to be fair, many characters and objects Mario captures lack hands and arms or otherwise lack the dexterity to pick up a cap and throw it. Bowser is one of the few entities who ''can''.

*** It seems to me that the idea of these hypothetical [[BehindTheBlack off-screen]] fliers is that they ''were'' intimidating Peach, and that's why she and Tiara didn't try to escape. As for not attacking Mario, {{Pride}} is a pretty consistent trait of Bowser's.

** Remember VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy? Because Bowser's ships can fly into space, they're able to go to the moon. There's probably tons of other ways that they can get to the moon as well, but "flying ships" is probably the [[OccamsRazor simplest]] and easiest explanation.

*** It's probably just them teleporting or is an actual visual identifier of them reviving like Mario does. After all, rabbits in Mario games can teleport with the same "poof, stars and confetti" effect. In the level with the female goomba, she escapes by poofing into nothing. Then, when Mario leaves, she teleports back in through a purple portal or something. It seems like the rabbits are just teleporting and coming back when Mario isn't around.

*** To be fair, on the world map there aren't any non-natural colours, and the Sprxie Kingdom is somewhat of a SugarBowl. Then again, while Isle Delfino is on the map, it isn't coloured (likely because it's being saved for a DLC or is just an easter egg).

** In the Mario universe, it is canon that "Kingdoms" are synonymous to "countries". And as said above, Pauline can be considered the "ruler" of New Donk City.

* New Donk City's festival apparently happens every year. Is Mario's presence there required each time? The way it's set up it seems to completely revolve around him.
