:We avoided spinning off into "Mario has many fathers from many different appearances" debate on the page because that gets really muddled and speculative. Unless we have good reason to doubt that characters from different media aren't meant to be the same person, we assume they are and write the articles as such. That's why [[Bowser]] from the games, "King Koopa" from the cartoons and "Koopa" from the movie are all the same character, even though they look and act different. It's up to the readers to take what they see in the various appearances with a grain of salt and make their own decisions - our job is merely to give them the information as clearly as possible and make as few judgement calls as possible. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 00:30, 18 December 2009 (EST)

::I can accept that, but the only truly glaring example is the father seen in the Issunboshi anime. That special was a re-telling of a fairy tale, with Mario not exactly "Mario" but filling the role of the child in that fairy tale. Would it be okay to at least revise that section to state the character was "a" father to Mario, but not meant to fill the same role as the other appearances?

:::It would just look inconsistent if we address all the other appearances as Papa without question but not ''[[Super Mario Issunboshi]]''. The anime may take more artistic licenses with the characters than other media, but it's no less valid from a purely facts-driven standpoint. If we don't question things like Bowser playing the role of the Evil Queen in the [[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime|''Snow White'' adaptation]], or Mario hatching from a Peach in ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', we shouldn't question Papa. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 01:28, 18 December 2009 (EST)

Did you know that Mario's eyes are looking in the same direction as the person in the painting. Well now you know. Just a minor detail just to know. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 09:24, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
