    Does bowser do something for the boos? I mean, aside from having him as his troops, as evidenced by "bowser’s minions". If King Boo's motives are to make it so that no one can disrupt boos living in the ghost houses, why won't he barricade them, or create some sort of barrier around them, or literally anything. In other words, if King Boo is the king of his people, then why when he possesses the remains of bowser he does not help his people. they're pretty much in the same state as they were in Super mario world, when bowser was bowser

    while I feel that "Bowser Becomes King Boo" makes more sense than "King Boo becomes Bowser", I have to ask: what personality change? in later games and especially the RPGs, Bowser's a complete goofball. interesting idea nonetheless.

    my headcanon is that the king boo in the spinoffs is just a big boo with a crown, wheras the real king boo from luigi's mansion is either trapped in a painting or scheming, wheras bowser is sorta just chill, king boo has a much larger grudge against luigi than bowser does against mario

    • @c.r.blankenship9040
      @c.r.blankenship9040 Před 3 měsíci +2

      I would argue that most of the different lines of Mario titles are separate continuities, and that most Mario games within each series are only loosely connected to each other. Paper Mario is its own continuity, as is Super Mario Galaxy, as is New Super Mario Bros., as is Super Mario 3D World, as is Yoshi’s Story/Wooly World/Crafted World, etc, etc. The only games from separate series that seem to be connected are Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine, though there’s nothing specifically in Sunshine that precludes the possibility of it being a direct sequel to Super Mario 64

    • @anonymous_-xi9bl

      No, not Bowser. The fact that he was the only one who felt pain upon entering this new universe likely meant that he was momentarily knocked out by that Supernova, not killed by it. He also withstood falling into multiple black holes and being scorched by his artificial sun multiple times, so he likely wasn't killed by this! But I'm willing to accept that it stripped the flesh from him.

      @JDJG3493 I mean, you don't see Mario being rebooted he's completely fine. Also, Bowser seems to be the only one in any real pain! His son was just as close to the supernova as he was, and you don't see him wincing in pain from the blast or any other characters caught in the implosion. Rosalina likely used her powers to either relocate an unconscious Bowser to the mushroom kingdom or she relocated the mushroom kingdom entirely.

  • @c.r.blankenship9040
    @c.r.blankenship9040 Před 3 měsíci +4

    SO… I don’t want to lay a bunch of hate on this theory, but there are some critical issues. First is the event that begins the theory, which is the toads being 1000% confident in Bowser’s defeat. I’m afraid to say that its mistaken a meta joke/classic Paper Mario humor for lore that should be taken seriously. The toad’s are not confident - their insistence that Bowser was defeated is no deeper than citing “trust me bro” as your source.
    The second major issue is that the theory conflates the various different lines of Mario games, which I think most of us can agree do not share a continuity, most notably Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy. You can’t use any disparate series of Mario titles as proof for a theory for any other series of Mario titles. Especially, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, or any other of the ensemble/sports/racing games are I think explicitly non-canon (not that there is much of a Mario canon anyway), so can’t be used as evidence to anything pertaining to say, Luigi’s Mansion.
    The only games that can be applied to King Boo are the three Luigi’s Mansion games and probably Super Mario Sunshine, to which I have to say that it is implied that the King Boo we see in the basement of the casino is not the true King Boo. The boos in Sunshine react completely differently to all other boos in any other Mario games, despite Sunshine’s implied connection to Luigi’s Mansion through E. Gadd, and the way they behave seems to connect them to Bowser JR’s graffiti. To me this implies that the Boos in Sirena Beach aren’t real, but further creations of Bowser Jr, designed to look like Boos. This wouldn’t be the first time in this particular continuity that a paintbrush brought ghosts to life (or maybe it is, depending on which of Sunshine and Luigi’s Mansion you think happens first)

    • @aaronjones6299

    And why do all of king boo's frames feature bowser?

  • @PikachuLover0927
    @PikachuLover0927 Před 3 měsíci

    Great theory but I think King Boo uses his dark magic to revive Bowser. King Boo is his own being and his form is probably different in Luigi’s Mansion because he is mad with power. In Super Princess Peach, boos had a different form called Mad Boos. Their eyes are yellow with dark shadows under the eyes. Similar to Luigi’s Mansion King Boo’s form only the color of his eyes match the power enhancing crown he wears. In the spin offs, he has no power enhancing jewel in his crown so he is weak and less evil in that form. A fake king boo would make sense in some cases though like in Mario Wonder, in the Boo’s Opera level, King Boo appeared only to be changed into a regular boo at the end of the Wonder effect. Perhaps, when the real King Boo was captured, a regular boo takes place.

    The theory may have flaws but is the official canon flawless? The existence of "Dry Bowser" shows that Nintendo was willing to create an undead version of Bowser. It seems to me it does not entirely make sense either way, whether King Boo is Bowser or not. Luigi's Mansion seems to have like at least two competing stories within it, the finalized game being a little messy. I think that King Boo is not officially Bowser but i think it is very plausible that King Boo may have been planned to be Bowser during development.
