Well, before Bowser and all of that, we were talking about the timeline. I think if there can be made one, then it has to be a lot longer than you'd expect. I'd imagine the games take a lot longer to play out if in real life instead of the games themselves.

Yea maybe a page or more per timeline game would be accurate enough

What? What do you mean "page?" Anything could be simplified to a page...that's not a good measure of anything. WWII could be simplified to "The Nazis attack and the world stops them," but there's a lot more depth than that.

No, I mean fit the entire detail into the page so that the page is full

Again, it's subjective. You could go into any amount of detail into anything. Plus, page and font sizes vary. A page is a terrible measure of time.

By page I mean Word standard as for font, 12 Times New Roman would be good but the would take up a lot of space so maybe 20 to 26 (I have to check how big those fonts are)

...Never mind. Forget it. You obviously don't understand that there's no limit to the amount of detail in anything.

So how'd we get to talking about timelines again? Anyway, I still think the games happen in the order they came out, unless explicidly stated, like Yoshi's Island.

But what about games like Luigi's Mansion?
Bowser is soundly defeated, butt he comes back in later games. It's not explicitly stated, but that's a strong indication that the game is very late in the timeline.

They always think Bowser is defeated; otherwise you think they'd shore up security etc. a bit.

Gadd in that game, and it's been stated he's been studying in there for at least twenty years. So, it can't have been that far late in the timeline, because Gadd later appears in games like Mario & Luigi. |

It makes sense E. Gadd has been in the Boo Woods for 20 years and in PiT it must have been about 20 years in the past from Luigi's Mansion so technically Luigi did meet E. Gadd before

Theory: The first time Mario and Luigi met E. Gadd was in PiT while E. Gadd was still new to the scientific community and was attempting to make his name more known. After the events on the volcano E. Gadd went directly to Boo Woods to study ghosts and stayed there for the next 20 years trying to become successful. At the end of that 20 years E. Gadd comes in contact with Mario and Luigi for a second time, although he doesn't recognize them. These are the events of Luigi's Mansion. After these events, E. Gadd becomes instantly popular by way of his completed research at Boo Woods thanks to the help of Luigi. No longer just some unknown scientist, E. Gadd is able to leave Boo Woods, gather together other scientists and researchers, and form a large chain of corporations. This would mean that the events of ML:SSS, ML:PiT(present), and SMS all happened after Luigi's mansion. Till this day it is assumed that E. Gadd and his various corporations continue to be very successful.

Meta Black Yoshi and Rex back this is gonna be better than I thought
and I already knew that SMS PiT and SSS were after LM because E. Gadd seems to know Mario and Luigi in those games

I thought of some things, though:
-Bowser was defeated by the time Luigi's Mansion came around. But he then attacks again in Partners in Time, as well as Superstar Saga.
-King Boo was trapped in a painting at the end of Luigi's Mansion. But he attacks in Super Mario Sunshine.
How about this theory? E. Gadd's corporation goes bankrupt due to lack of practical uses for his inventions and Starbeans gets bought out by a bigger coffee chain. Wanting to be alone, he goes back to the Boo Woods to continue his ghost research, where all of his inventions still are. A combination of his age, dedication to catching ghosts, and the scares from the ghosts themselves drives E. Gadd senile, forgetting Mario and Luigi, the pair he first met in the past of Partners in Time. This explains why he introduces himself twice.

Actually if I hadn't seen someone for 20 years, I probably wouldn't remember them either, even if they did look exactly the same. And in PiT(past 20 years before LM) it says he goes straight to boo woods. If he really did go straight there and did stay there the whole 20 years then that really doesn't leave much time for him to be creating any corporations, Unless he had really good networking and some super loyal minions. But we never see anything that resembles a loyal minion of E. Gadd's in any of the games, course it could just be that they are all just working tirelessly behind the scenes and have no time to appear in the games but I doubt that's the case. Another thing is that E. Gadd doesn't really seem to have top notch communications there in the Boo Woods. I doubt that his shack would have any land lines connected to it, what would you think about the wireless and long distance capabilities from within the Boo Woods? E. Gadd and Luigi did lose connection quite a lot during the game. So what ever technology Gadd is using can't beat out the effects of supernatural phenomena.

He could have been there another 20 years after returning there.
So he goes to the Boo Woods after PiT, does some research, starts all of his corporations, then goes back to the Boo Woods for twenty years after they fail.
