And here's the second part.

Modern Mario's first adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom is in.. Super Mario Bros, where Bowswer first invades the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario first saves Princess Peach. Next is a new quest, "The Lost Levels", followed by Mario 64/DS (where Mario first becomes famous), then Luigi's Mansion. Birdo is born in Super Mario RPG, which means every game with Birdo must come after it. Next is Superstar Saga, with the Super Poltergust 3001. There's also the present version of Partners in Time, which must take place sometime after Superstar Saga, and Bowser's Inside Story, which must be sometime after Partners in Time.

There's a big time gap between Inside Story and Dream Team, as in the latter, Starlow mentions how long it's been since their last adventure. Dark Moon likely happened in between those games, so it was Bowser in Time, Dark Moon, Dream Team. (Dark Moon HAD to be after Superstar Saga because of the Poltergust 5000.) New Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 3D Land, and New Super Mario Bros 2 also happen around this time, before Mario meets Roslina in Super Mario Galaxy. The universe resets, the timeline repeats, except Super Mario Galaxy 2 happens instead of the original Mario Galaxy.

New Super Mario Bros Wii/U happen next, followed by Captain Toad:Treasure Tracker, which leads into Super Mario 3D World. Mario gets his own castle, goes out on a quest to save Daisy in Super Mario Land, and returns only to find that Wario stole it. Super Mario Land 2 happens. But, we're still leaving out a few games..

First off, remember how the Koopalings and Bowser Jr's games that we DIDN'T leave out are near the end of the current timeline? Well, there's a reason for that.

Get this:Super Mario Bros. 3 is a stage play. That was confirmed by Shigeru, but the fact that the SKY has a shadow from these platforms is proof enough. But, if it's a stage play, then at this point, Bowser has stopped being evil, placing it AFTER all of Mario's adventures.. Well, ALMOST all of them.

World takes place after Super Mario Bros 3, as the Sunken Ghost Ship is from Super Mario Bros 3. As a result, it too must be a play, or a movie perhaps? And Fludd's scanning of Mario in Super Mario Sunshine contains video from Super Mario World, so ot TOO must be a play, after World. Im fact, it's a direct SEQUEL to World-The "vacation" mentioned at the end of World is Super Mario Sunshine. Of course, that was KIND of obvious, the trial that got Mario sentenced isn't really that plausible-The judge overruling Peach's objection without even letting her speak, and everyone getting Shadow "blue" Mario mixed up with the real Mario, when they are different colors, kind of speaks for itself there.

And Super Mario Bros 2 is a dream. It doesn't belong on the timeline. The Mario Party series takes place between several adventures, as Bowser is still an enemy trying to mess up the celebration. The Mario KART series, however, and the sports series takes place around the same time as these plays. I don't know where to put Paper Jam.
