List of Common Misconceptions about the Mario Universe
The Mario series has its fair share of misconceptions by fans. The sheer amount of games make it difficult for any one person to get a full picture of the characters and lore. This page will correct some of the most common misconceptions and misinterpretations.
Mario is on Drugs
Jumpman is Mario’s Father
Mario Kills Toads / Mario is Evil
Mario Destroyed the Sun
The Angry Sun in SMB3 is not the actual Sun

Why she keeps getting kidnapped
Odyssey ending - more like Mario chose the worst possible time to propose
Peach is a Toad Wearing a Super Crown
Peach is seen without her crown in Super Mario Odyssey. There is also a LINE gif of her without her crown.
(Doesn’t the Game Theory video also mention her controlling the toads or something? Watched it years ago lol) - if so the Toads just respect her as a leader, they’re not under control

If anything, it’s the opposite, with Peach being descended from Rosalina (well, her brother).
