References
- ↑ By comparing the time of Tour Earth (meant to correspond with our history) with that of Mario's Earth (a 1:10 ratio), dividing the Big Bang of our world to correspond with Mario's would place it roughly 1.38 billion years ago.

Did life on our planet (which began in the seas) actually originate on the moon?"

- ↑ "Long ago, in this very land, there was a kingdom called Dry Dry Kingdom. King Mousta ruled over it. One dark day, he was betrayed by his subjects. In the uprising that followed, Dry Dry Kingdom was ruined. King Mousta escaped and vowed vengeance on his enemies. He gathered those faithful to him and defeated his betrayers."
- ↑ Mario Kart Tour's rendition of GCN Dry Dry Desert and Wii Dry Dry Ruins retcons the statues and sphinxes with those of Hammer Bros. It's likely that the rebellion against King Mousta would've been led by a Hammer Bro family

- ↑ The North American manual refers to the Palace as a former royal family residence. Seeing at the Palace resides in the Mushroom Kingdom, and it shares the same dome-like tops of previous Kingdom of Shrooms architecture, it's very likely that this refers to a Kingdom of Shrooms royal family
- ↑ Given that it's likely the Kingdom of Bask is the originator behind the Hammer Bro sphinxes and statues, this event would take place after all of those statues have been built
- ↑ Aster: "I am Aster, humble guardian of the noble King Bask. It is my duty to watch over the one called Lucien. Lucien, as you almost certainly already know, is the name of an almighty racket. It is a dangerous being with the power to control people! King Bask, who once ruled this kingdom, was awed by the racket's power and took it as his own. In the end...it destroyed the entire kingdom. But with the last of his power, our king somehow managed to seal Lucien away."
- ↑ Merri: "Aren't you two fascinating! As miracle hand technicians, we're masters of hands like yours!"
- ↑ Firebrand: "Welcome! Yes, welcome! Welcome to the fire Palace! I have been waiting for you. I have waited many long years, smoldering like embers. For you I have kept waiting... and waiting...and WAITING! In fact, the last time anyone came through here was... 3000 years ago!"
