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)

Yoshi's Island (Mario is born in the Mushroom World, NOT on Earth. Thus, this must take place after Donkey Kong '94, and this is part of why these are two different Marios), 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 the Mario Vs Donkey Kong series (At least starting with the second one. The Baby Peach toy proves Yoshi's Island DS had to have happened, as Peach had to have been born already) followed by Donkey Kong Jr, where Jumpman, Mario's father, dies. Note the placement of mushroom platforms and springboard in the second level to indicate that this takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom. http://www.nintendo-insider.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/donkey-kong-jr.jpg Platforms seem familiar? Like the ones in 1-3 from Super Mario Bros? There's even a moving floating platform.

PS:Original Donkey Kong is the grandfather of Modern Donkey Kong, yet they appear to be the same age. This means Jumpman should be about 20-50 years older than Mario. Yet we see no age difference. This is the second half of why there are two Marios. Old Donkey Kong is with Pauline, while New Donkey Kong is with Peach. This will let us find out which Mario we're working with. It's also why Pauline and Peach are never seen together (Except when Peach is a BABY. Seriously, the Mini Peach toy looks more like Baby Peach then modern Peach.) That post has a lot of revelations of its own. I don't think any of you actually thought the Mushroom Kingdom existed in 1982, but a quick look at the stage, and you'll see it actually DOES happen in the Mushroom Kingdom!
