yep. thats what i said, mario is there because he is like an actor pitched in many movies. each universe is different but mario is still mario. in a media that fun matters more than story, the differences become even more glaring.
if you take all games seriously, mario is a plumber, carpenter, painter, soccer player, golfer, tennist, doctor, kart racer, baker owner of islands, worlds, castles, racetracks and all the shit. Obviously those are his just because the game needs a situation to happen.
But just like you consider mario as different series (platformer, 3d plat, rpg, puzzle etc), each iteration of mario is supposed to be different.
