I've gotten the first part of the timeline down.

Donkey Kong (Before Modern Mario even existed.), Mario Bros (This is why this Mario isn't wearing his signature clothes), Donkey Kong '94 (How Jumpman got to the Mushroom Kingdom), the Mario vs Donkey Kong series..

Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's New Island, Yoshi's Island DS (What a new meaning for "three cheers". THREE adventures so far.), Partners in Time (past).

Next is Donkey Kong Jr, where Jumpman, Mario's father, dies. Note the water and grassy platforms in the first level, and the springboard in the second, to indicate that this takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom. This must take place after Yoshi's Island, because how can Mario be brought to his parents if one of them is dead?

More is coming up soon..
