upon closer examination, i suppose it is true that the only direct reference to our world in a Mario game's backstory simply says "New York", and it could mean a different part of the city or even an entirely different city within the state of new york.

Is that in the game or in like a manual? Because even the latter I wouldn't take as gospel overall.

Really the Mario lore doesn't make any sense and doesn't matter. Each story and game is its own thing (unless directly stated otherwise) like a Mickey cartoon.
