      i thing that toad is a human that lives in a once was dwarf civilization they would harvest mushrooms and wear there tops then bowser the king of the koopa troopas set war on the place and won it (explaining the koopa troopas just walking around) then took the princess hostage. then mario jumps in and takes princess peach back from bowser at least i think
      i would like him to make a vid about that

  • @mushroomdude123
    @mushroomdude123 Před 9 lety +5200

    So just to clarify:
    -Mario is a communist, womanizing, abusive psychopath.
    -Bowser's actually the good guy.
    -Peach also has mental issues.
    -Luigi and Peach get married and have Rosalina as their child.
    -And now, Toads are evil, paracitic zombies created by Peach.
    Wow.....never thought someone could ruin a seemingly innocent franchice _that_ hard.
    *Slow claps*
    Good job, Matt.

    It is also funny how bowser in super Mario odyssey (jokingly) says “It’s time for you to make like a bouquet and get (thrown out),” like Mario is not on the other side, just a confused annoyance that is getting in the way of bowser (thinking) that he is helping.

    The Stages of watching Game Theory:
    1. This looks interesting
    2. C'mon MatPat thats a bit farfetched.
    3. Well that kinda makes sense I guess
    4. Oh my God
    5. Aww fuck, there goes my childhood

      step 4: umm... that's a bit freaky
      step 5: HOLY ****
      step 6: I'm now scared of (whatever he was talking about)
      step 7: I'll never look at (whatever he was talking about) the same again
      step 8: close the video and say, (in this case) I am now afraid of (something freaky he said in the video.) in this case: I'm now afraid of mushrooms
      or is it just me?

    It’s crazy to see and hear how much Matt’s style(theory) has changed in the years since this one ❤
    This theory solidified my love for the theorist family of channels and over analysis of entertainment
    I don’t feel as clever or creative as the theorist team but starting with this spooky Mario theory I started looking closer at everything
    Thanks Matt, it’s been a wild ride, looking forward to the future of theorizing

      MFAniki6390 it was established at the end of sunshine that bowser lied to him. He was probably using his son as another means of kidnapping peach for the sake of the goomba's. Now who is bowser jr's mother? Well that's a theory for another day.

      What if the mushrooms toads are descended from killed most of the people but inherited their sentience, which lead toadsworth to adopt Peach, since she was immune, perhaps that's why Bowser and most of the cast seem to be orphans, their Parents succumb to the spores. But hey that's just a thunker a game thunker

      ***** Bowser did not turned or wanted to turn the Goombas into bricks. He wants to turn the Toads into brick and stuff to help the Goombas get their kingdom back. Mario and Luigi are not infected for the same reason Peach isn't. They work for Peach. They are like ...her body guards or something. Think of the fact that Toad's are mostly useless in a fight so if Bowser comes to get her the Toads can't 'save her' ; so she need someone around for that job who is not infected or even immune like these brothers seemed to be.

    • @Tracequaza

    mushroom kingdom is invaded by peach and the toads, goombas (like gaijin goomba and lonely) ask for bowser's help, he repurposed the toads to become more safe and steals peach because he fancies her, they become friends wilst mario (after torchering Donkey Kong and his baby) kills and destroys everything in his path and resuces peach but before they leave everyone becomes friends, after a long time of mario being mean and evil, peach having fun with bowser wilst pretending to be indanger and bowser just trying to rule the world (as well as have a son somehow), peach finally settles down with luigi and have rosalina, peach dies, rosalina runs away and with the help of bowser and mario restarts the universe (well, to the part just after the first ever adventure)

    Now THAT would be a Mario game I would wonna play. Just imagine, Peach betrays Mario and leaves him half dead in a middle of nowhere after gaining enough power to take over Bowser's kingdom. Then Bowser saves Mario and tells him what was really going on the entire time, so they join forces to take down Mushroom kingdom once and for all. Peach would be the final boss and Mario could get a black magic power up by the koopa mages. It would be so AMAZING!!

      No no, It most likely that Mario mind was too damage by eating (May be forced at first) too mush poison mushrooms. Look at the mushrooms he normally eat to power up, that is a poison mushrooms. He was too delusion, he see everything as happy and child like, and he can't really talk anymore.
      Bowser much find a way to cure Mario, to make him see the reality and free from Peach control. And the game in reality could turn out to be dark and hard core looking lol

      You also would have to remember that Peach was truly in love with Luigi which lead to him and Peach creating Rosalina. So, I'm guessing that Mario is to much of a glory hogging sociopath to realize that Luigi and Peach are using him as a pawn to keep the Mushroom Kingdom powerful. After you beat Peach as the final boss it is revealed that she was just a pawn for Luigi. But that would mean we would need to make another game.

      DAVID But plot twist! Mario is actually Luigi's clone he created to infiltrate Bowser's kingdom to steal an artifact that is the only thing capable of slaying the demon possesing Peach, but it's usage was so risky that Bowser split it into 5 pieces and hid it across the land. Now Mario has to ask help of Link, the only survivor of Kukuri village massacre ordered by Peach and executed by Zelda. Ganon on the other hand is a good guy who was sealed by Peach long ago with Vaati for rebeling against her Mushroom dictatorship, They led a rebellion that ended with them being captured, but ultimately reseting the mushroom civilisation's progress with a surge of triforce. Damn that would be awesome.

      Instead of mario being a clone luigi could actually be a badass. He's just putting up a front, and is working for bowser. Waiting for his chance to strike and then he tries and mario is like wtf. Mario becomes a minion to peach and luigi and bowser team up to SAVE THE WORLD.
