How is Mario, a clearly Italian man ruled my Princess Peach? The Mushroom Kingdom is in the Holy Roman Empire an explainer. (1/13)
The ancient Roman empire had plumbing as early as 200BC, it then tracks that this technology, roughly over a thousand years later as evolved into a rapid transport system only accessible by hot-blooded Italians and giant Venus flytraps. (2/13)
Naturally, Princess Peach is Constance Hohenstaufen de Hauteville who is a member of the Hohenstaufen Dynasty and Queen of Sicily which is why Italians are her obedient warrior-slaves. The reasons I think this should be obvious. (3/13)
Bowser = Napolean as a nod to the Napoleonic Wars which dissolved the HRE. Bowser accurately represents Japanese historical depictions of the French, see this classic piece "Wrestling Frenchman at Sea" painted ~1849 in response to the Shanghai French Concession in China. (4/13)
The Koopas, a constant nuisance in the Mushroom Kingdom are there as a nod to the Hungarian Invasions. Because their shells are Red, Green and White https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ" title="Flagge von Ungarn" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ungarn">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ" title="Flagge von Ungarn" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ungarn">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ" title="Flagge von Ungarn" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ungarn">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ" title="Flagge von Ungarn" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ungarn">. Coincidence. No. Read a book. (5/13)
As shown earlier, Buzzy Beetles are Slovenians, jealous of Mario& #39;s, the Italian man& #39;s, raw physical prowess. This was commonplace in the HRE during the Baroque period. (6/13)
Wario & Waluigi, classic Mario antagonists, represent Byzantium. They& #39;re undeniably the perfect confluence of Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish and overall Eastern Orthodox energy. Competing theorists suggest Waluigi is Russian, I& #39;m open to this theory. (7/13)
I& #39;m concerned that I& #39;ll never be able to communicate to my dad how much he means to me. Like how hard should it be to tell him I love him. He knows, I think. (??/โ–ฒ)
Toad sounds like what I imagine a German speaking Latin sounds like. (8/13)
Lakitu is "Cloud Magic" or "wolkenkatholischemagieblitz" which was a divine power that Pope Leo III promised to the Frankish king Charlemagne so he could unite Christendom ref. in the Carolingian minuscule. Leo renegged on the deal, pictured here bein a fake friend. (9/13)
There is also an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in a 1996 copy of Toyo Keizai (business magazine) where he states: "N64 sales got me feeling like a Frankish King like I got the pope on my back. Charlemagne shit!" (11/13)
Finally we have Reggie Fils-Aimรฉ, former President and COO of Nintendo of America, photographed at the Coronation of Charles VI presenting him with a beta version of the Nintendo Wii U. (12/13)
I hope I have stated my case firmly and fairly and if Nintendo acknowledges this all I ask for is tiny producer credit and 1% royalties on the next Mario game. Thank you.(13/13)
Oh shit, and the Goombas are clearly Moravians! Like, c& #39;mon! (14/13)
