He was also sent back in time, but instead to a point early on in Timeline A, taking Mario's place (while keeping the previous Luigi where he was, which accounts for the two of them). However, doing so removed Mario from Timeline A note A literal Cosmic Retcon?, thus preventing him from defeating Bowser- to prevent a Temporal Paradox, someone was sent to do it for him: Luigi. The Gainax Ending of Timeline A ( Galaxy) sent Mario back in time to just before the Star Festival, which is where the continuity branched off into Timeline B ( Galaxy 2). To expand on the above theory, the two games are part of a Zelda-esque Split Timeline. The first and second game are an Alternate Continuity to each other the first half of Galaxy is now Ret-Gone. The ending of Galaxy 1 shows the decorations from the festival as the camera pans around, so the festival is likely a multi-day event.two attempted galactic empires in one day? Dude doesn't mess around. That means Bowser really managed to get his act together this time.or the Star Festival is a multi-day event and Super Mario Galaxy 2 is set during the day after the first game. Maybe the "reanimation" reset the Mushroom Kingdom to a point in time before the Star Festival would normally occur.In other words, yes, Super Mario freakin' Bros now has a split timeline theory. So, the game is set in an alternate universe concurrent with the events of the first game, to be "merged" into a single timeline following the events of the second game. However, Super Mario Galaxy 2 can't be a direct sequel to this, since the Star Festival happens once in a hundred years, and Mario is still kicking around, not a day older. Mario and most of the characters he encountered in his quest are "reanimated" in a freshly-created Mushroom Kingdom, itself part of a grand, unified Galaxy. The game's plot is not the result of negative continuityĪt the end of the first Mario Galaxy, Rosalina and her Lumas managed to save the universe, basically by creating a Big Crunch and rebuilding the entire thing from scratch.
