At the end of Mario Odyssey you play as Bowser destroying stuff with Peach tagging along while there is a vocal song in the background.

In Donkey Kong Bananza you play as DK destroying stuff with Pauline tagging along while she uses vocal powers.

Also, young Pauline in DK Bananza looks suspiciously like the daughter of Mario and Pauline. She is wearing Pauline's dress and Mario's jeans. Maybe Mario and Pauline got together after Peach rejected Mario at the end of Mario Galaxy. (I'm guessing that's not the actual case though and its simply just young Pauline)

How is a fucking DK game the thing that draws out the insane and incoherent conspiracy theories?

You're talking about a universe where Peach just "happens" to get kidnapped dozens of times in a row and there are nine kids that look just like Bowser whose mother is totally unexplained
not canon >_>

She is his first girlfriend. Maybe it happened before he met Peach. Pauline is the woman you rescue in the original arcade Donkey Kong

I can see the gameplay inspiration, that's totally plausible. It's wild seeing story/lore theories for a Mario-adjacent game though.

I think the very existence of Birdo denies you.

You have to find her vibrator in Captain Rainbow.

I think it makes more sense for this game to be a prequel to Mario Odyssey. This is how Pauline finds her voice, gets "to the surface" and becomes the mayor of New Donk City.

Mario and Luigi were delivered by storks, as per Yoshi's Island lore. Sex doesn't exist in Mario canon

Pauline being portrayed as an adult with DK's ancestor and then portrayed as a child with DK is insanely incoherent and begging for a theory to make sense of it?

I believe I posted it in another topic, but I have 4 primary theories:
  1. Pauline was somehow turned into a child, and this will be plot-relevant.
  2. This is another Pauline (whether a daughter of the original, or a clone, or a character that just happens to be similar).
  3. Time travel is involved.
  4. Nintendo doesn't care about the continuity, they just wanted to use Pauline, and wanted her to be a kid, and won't bother with any kind of explanation.
I'm assuming #4 until shown otherwise.

I can loosely seeing it being similar to the part where you get to smash shit as Bowser, and I do love that part. The devs probably thought that part was great as well, and took the best parts of that and expanded on it. I am going into Bananza as blind as possible though, but from the gameplay I have seen I agree.
