My theory is that, when a baby is born (in an hospital, obviously) he's taken by a stork to a greater hospital somewhere in the world, where they are taken of for a day before being brought back to their parents. And their birth day is officialy when they are back to their parents, not when they are born (although it could happen the same day if they are born, like, very early in the day).

Why do you have to make things make sense? Who said that ME had to relate to our world in every way?

That's what this forum is for, isn't it?

Not really. And there was a bit of sarcasm in that post...

Alright, on-topic:
I think that these humans didn't die when they were supposed to (come on, almost all of them are in their 30's) and thus they are too attached to the "real" world to go to the Underwhere. They are too attached to their dreams, and won't go to the Underwhere until their goal in life is fulfilled.

Because a game about talking mushroom and fire-breathing turtles really requires such believability.
Here's how it works: There's a baby factory up in the sky where babies are made. When two people in the Mushroom Kingdom get married and wish for a child, a baby is tailor-made up there and then delivered via stork. You can even say the Stars run this factory and that it's another department of the Star Road, fulfilling wishes for babies.

I still think the Hospital Theory is the easiest to believe, and the most likely. Or were you just pointing out an example?

The easiest theory to believe is that the storks deliever babies that were created by clouds. It is a lot simpler than the babies going to a hospital and then the storks bringing them back to the parents.

Hey, this is a world where you can eat mushrooms to grow, shrink, regain health, and wear ridiculous, yet gravity-defying, outfits.
Not too much of a stretch to say babies come from clouds, if you ask me.

So every single human would be made from magic ?

Why not? Humans are rather rare.

You can even say the Stars run this factory and that it's another department of the Star Road, fulfilling wishes for babies. Now that's a bit too crazy. What about the other species then, the Toads, the Koopas, etc? Are they "made" too? The hospital theory is more believable for me. I don't think the species were created by clouds either. |

Not that this theory (that human babies are made from magic - and humans may not be able to naturally reproduce either) is bad. I'm just more on the "real-world logic" side.

Me too. I don't like how that other theory only includes humans and completely disregards other species. I'm more on the "real-world logic" too.

I think that it's a pretty good theory actually. Humans are, like, the second rarest species on the Mushroom Earth (although many political figures are human), and it'd make sense that they aren't "naturally" from the planet.

My theory is that humans originally came from Earth and accidentally stumbled upon Warp Pipes that took them to the Mushroom World (or Sarasa, in my fan-fic). After that, they stayed, reproduced, and multiplied. So, in a nutshell, I think that all humans in the present day are descendants of immigrants from Earth.
I think that theory would also tie-in to my belief that the Mario Bros. are from Brooklyn. I've always liked the idea of the Mushroom World and Earth being tied together and being parallel from one another (like the Dark World in Zelda, or Dark Aether in Metroid).

Yeah, that's basically the same theory I have. |
