Super Mario Bros. Characters Are Like Looney Tunes Characters

I may not be playing new school Super Mario games anymore nor am I interested in spending my earnings on a Nintendo system (whether handheld or not) but I still want to recall the time I used to have a Nintendo system. I wrote about how the Super Mario cast are actors but now I could compare them to Looney Tunes' characters for this reason: it's close to impossible to create a Super Mario Bros. timeline.

Try to notice how events in the Super Mario games happen like with typical Looney Tunes' humor. When your character dies they die in a very cartoony way and yet they somehow survive. They stomp on enemies and they become flat as paper. There's also plots like Bowser falls down into the lava or hole for the Nth time but keeps surviving. Isn't that like how characters in Looney Tunes get blown up or fall into lava yet they keep surviving. You can think of Bowser's defeats like how Yosemite Sam or Elmer Fudd get defeated. You can think of the Super Mario Bros.' victory against the villains the same way Bugs Bunny triumphs over his. 

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (which lasted for 52 episodes), the Super Mario Bros. 3 show (which lasted for 26 episodes) and the rather forgettable Super Mario World cartoon (which sadly only lasted for 13 episodes) all tend to be separate events. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show's episodes tend to have episodes written like a Looney Tunes episode. Just think of how many episodes Bowser becomes different characters like Mech-Koopa, Darth Koopa and Koopzilla and the heroes don't recall anything from the last episodes? Doesn't that look like a Looney Tunes episode where Bugs Bunny never recalls any encounter he has with Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam unless the writers want it to happen?

Pretty much, you can really say they're actors in a play like the Looney Tunes cast. They are cast in different roles and you can't really establish a storyline. Instead, a new storyline is born and the cast are given an entirely new story every time a new game is released.
