In the ''Valiant Hero'' ending, the mayor is shown to be a member of the Toppat Clan if Henry and Charles try to get on the luxury escape pod. He was likely trying to steal the diamond in ''STD'' for the Toppats except Henry beat him to the punch. While he was trying to save face with his Toppat superiors, they ended up getting eavesdropped by Dave who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Deciding HeKnowsTooMuch, the Mayor and the Toppat Clan immediately apprehended him and kept him under lock and key in the Airship until freed by Henry in the ''Pure-Blooded Thief'' and ''Toppat Civil War'' endings.

Two of the fails across the series mocked how fat Henry is. With every character being drawn consistently with a stick body regardless of their supposed body type and shape, it's possible that Henry is meant to be fat, or at least having a stocky build.

'Mission' has an entirely different plot depending on which combination of endings from 'Airship' and 'Complex' you choose, though some are incompatible with others (for instance, the Rapidly Promoted Executive rank in 'Airship' (Henry took over the Toppat clan) cannot be used with the Government Rescue Operative rank in 'Complex' (Charles rescues you from the Wall).

While it's a nice toch to let the player wield SchrodingersGun at the start of ''Mission'', and choose which endings should be treated as canon, there remains the fact that some endings from these games are simply not compatible. "The Betrayed" from ''Complex'' for example is only possible if Henry is the leader of the Toppat Clan, and thus only compatible with "Rapidly Promoted Executive" from ''airship''. Likewise, "International Rescue Operative" is only a likely scenario if Henry is still on good terms with his government, and thus only compatible with "Government Supported Private Investigator" or "Relentless Bounty Hunter".

[[WMG:Choosing "The Betrayed" as the ending for ''Complex'' will be an instant fail in the next game]]
Concept art for the final Henry Stickmin game, ''Completing the Mission'', suggests that at the start of this game the player is asked to choose which endings from ''Infiltrating the Airship'' and ''Fleeing the Complex'' they wish to continue from, and this will determine what situations Henry finds himself in during the game.

Surprisingly, "The Betrayed" can also be chosen as an ending to continue from, even though WordOfGod stated Henry dies in that ending.

*Moneybag is the only ‘successful’ ending of ''Bank''.

*Badass is the only ending in ''Prison'' where Henry steals a police car. This car later appears in the beginning of ''Airship'', making it canon that Henry stole it for all paths in the game.

*Henry’s scooter is destroyed in the Aggressive ending of ''Diamond'', yet reappears at the beginning of ''Airship'' - thus Aggressive is non-canon. From there it’s a toss-up between Undetected and Epic, but is there really any chance that Henry would willingly leave the Diamond behind like he does in the Epic ending?

This would help to explain how well Henry does in the successful endings: he just brute forces all the choices, jumping to another timeline when he messes up. This would also make every ending and fail of every game canon, explaining the aversion to CuttingOffTheBranches and the use of SchrodingersGun.

In both Airship and Complex, a character named Smith is mentioned. In "Airship", he is evidently a member of the Toppat Clan, and has a wife who has just gone into labor. In the ''Ghost Inmate'' route of "Complex", he is apparently working at the Complex, since the guards down at the dock think the fleeing Henry is actually Smith, going off to see his family. The same game, during the ''The Betrayed'' ending, reveals that the Toppat Clan has a mole inside the Complex. Put one and one together and it's not too hard to guess that this mole is most likely Smith.
