"Continuous narrative" of the Mario games Right Its by no means a super heavy narrative, but it features the same characters in the same setting.

Haste_2 05/16/19 9:21:43 PM #46:	You could make a case for it being in the Mario series. Mario is on Yoshi's back the whole time. Consider this: if Mario were riding on Yoshi 100% of the time in Super Mario World, would it still be a Mario game? I'm curious to see what you guys think. Yoshi's Island is either part of the Yoshi series or part of the Mario series. Not both. Or maybe it could be both? Yoshi's Island is my favorite 2D Mario game....but yeah, I'm also in the boat where I don't think any of the Mario games are that fun, even though they are objectively excellent. I guess I'm more of a Metroid/MMX (and DKC2) guy when it comes to SNES platformers. p.s. Yoshi's Island rules when it comes to boss fights.
