When I was a child I spake like a child and said “big and small are different”

Now as a man I speak like a man and say “you must approach the focal point of the viewing parabola when Mario approaches the zenith or his leap ina vacuum and solve for “

Much like how monophysites have been accepted as heretical, we must accept that Mario has two natures (big and small) united in a single person (Mario).

evolution of Critical Gaming Theory

1st wave 1985-1996: thats mario, and he has to save the princess

2nd wave 1996-2002: thats mario, and hes actually the villain who is ruining the princess and bowsers relationship

3rd wave 2002-2017-: thats mario, and while its true hes the "villain" this is only because of capitalist realism which teaches us to side with the propertied classes over the proletariat e.g. peach and bowser who are royalty, over mario who is an immigrant working class plumber

4th wave 2017-present: thats mario, and were trying to measure him

When Mario eats a mushroom it's a dramatic event, so the camera zooms in on him for impact. He is not actually changing size.

It's this. Also his proportions change. If it were just the camera zooming in or whatever these freaks are trying to argue then he'd just be a bigger small mario.

Nintendo did what they could with the limitations of 1985 technology. Obviously it's not going to be perfect.

At the time, Luigi was merely a recolor of Mario, but we now know that Luigi is slimmer, taller, and has slippery feet.

Super Mario Brothers 3 has established the canon that Mario is in a play, playing Mario. In light of this, I think it's obvious: Mario is just being replaced with a taller (or shorter) actor.

Mario 3 is a play inspired by the real life events of Mario 1. It is also the only Mario game that is a work of fiction (Paper Mario battles happen on a stage with viewers but those are real battles and the spectators paid to see bloodshed).

Huge flaw in your logic there assuming that because Mario played himself once he's no longer a real person.

Which is more plausible: a mushroom that makes you instantly double in size, or an understudy taking over the roll of Mario?

there's no understudy for mario. he has always been played by charles martinet, and he always will be. he is not allowed to quit and is the property of nintendo, per the mortadella clause.

Why doesn't the helium leak out of his hole after he eats a second mushroom? Have you ever tried reading a book?

a scientist, with an ivy league degree hanging above him: Mario literally just gets bigger when he eats the mushroom

a guy with crooked teeth, wearing and dunce cap: look, it's simple. non confident, far away mario is so curled up that his muscles are unable to break the non euclidean block structure, like he has only been working out three days a week. close, confident mario smashes all six dimensions of the blocks, because his muscles are fully flexed, with the benefits of a full, weekly eight day workout schedule

actually, nothing prior to first galaxy game can be considered canon anymore, because mario reboots the universe at the end of mario galaxy.
