Laws of Physics

In conjunction with the Planets article, where some of the planets in the Mushroom Universe are in shapes that disobeys the laws of physics.Isn't it possible that thease laws in the Mushroom Universe are different to an extent where a planet can be shapes other than a sphere? Or maybe a "Planet" in the Mushroom Universe can be defined as any walkable surface/has a gravity located in space?Joshazilla23

The name. Erf.

The name seems really shaky in how it was picked. I mean, should we really look at a little gag done by an ancient animation company for a show and take it as the official name for the universe in later games? - NARCE 03:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Of course not, but this wiki's editors have no common sense whatsoever, so trying to reason with them and point out that the cartoon adaptations aren't even part of the same universe as the video games nor were produced by Nintendo is futile. - Ericss (talk) 01:39, 18 September 2012 (EDT)

Erm. Yeah, I just noticed this. It's really a throwaway gag line by Mario that was inserted for some semblance of humor, and we don't even know if Mario even has knowledge of the name of the universe (if it can even be named by the Mushroom Kingdom to begin with - that would be a lot like some real-world country calling the universe we live in the "Chinese Universe" or something). The article must be more specific than "according to various sources", because as far as I'm aware Mario's universe was only given a "name" once, in that very specific spot. Saying that the universe Mario's come to live in is different from the real world is one thing, but applying it as an article name may be too far. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:36, 20 September 2012 (EDT)

Unfortunately it's the only name ever mentioned and it is from an official source so unless we get another name from different sources we have to stick with the name Mushroom Universe. Raven Effect (talk)

Eh. Can someone with the DVD or official script at least check to see if it's capitalized in subtitles? I can hardly call it a name, nor consider it applicable today. Nevermind the fact that Miyamoto and his crew never really factor in American material, so it definitely wouldn't work when speaking about Super Mario Galaxy.

Now you're getting back into the canon debate the wiki recognized the cartoons as canon so the name would apply to the SMG games IMO. Raven Effect (talk)

Miyamoto hasn't touched American material at all - the most I've seen him say is recently in that interview regarding the Koopalings, where he dismissed the American film. In his view, such things simply don't exist or matter to him when he produces a game. That is entirely besides the point, though - it would still be wise to legitimize it as an actual name, as I was alluding to before touching on Miyamoto. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:03, 20 September 2012 (EDT)

Yes it's true Miyamoto isn't involved with the American stuff however he's never given a name to the universe nor has he disputed the canon statues of the cartoons therefore we go with this name because there aren't any other alternatives. Raven Effect (talk)

But my point is, can it really be considered a legitimate name in the entirety of the whole series if it was only an early throwaway gag line mentioned once by a likely misinformed or ignorant Mario who is new and still adjusting to the Mushroom Kingdom's world? And even if you can consider it a name, do the DVD subtitles / episode manuscript capitalize it to make it a title? LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2012 (EDT)

Not to mention that Miyamoto and Nintendo never gave the universe a name because it has NO NAME, it's just the universe. We don't have a name for our universe either, we just call it the universe, so why on Earth would Mario's universe have a name? I don't see why you're so set on assigning it a name that was only mentioned in a episode's gag and was clearly never meant to be taken serious when no name is needed. - Ericss (talk) 18:25, 22 October 2012 (EDT)
