not really. They are probably just humans, while mario and him-like characters are probably hybrids of humans and mushrooms, either toads or their distant ancestors. In super show (cartoon part) they showed an early stage of toads evolution - they were more humane, obviously, until evolution happned.
Don’t forget, MatPat, the DK gigantism also applies to Donkey Kong himself. I looked it up, and I found out that Donkey Kong is about 8’ tall and, according to DK 64 (the only 3D game in the franchise), weighs exactly 800 lbs. Most silverback gorillas in real life are around 4’-6’ tall and weigh 300-500 lbs.
This went a completely different direction than I thought it would I thought he was going to talk about how Mario is not human and possibly the same race as Peach, a mushroom
I thought he'd say something along the lines (given how high Mario could jump there) that most Mario games don't take place on Earth at all and that his planet's gravity was stronger than earth's so Mario was shorter but on Earth even though he appears short his legs are really powerful.
Tbh I thought that in Odyssey when we saw that some of the humans needed helmets on the moon, but Mario and Peach didn't. And considering that Mario and Luigi were delivered by storks... But the helmet thing seemed like a gag considering the ending showed not only Pauline without a helmet, but the other humans too
13:28 - “Mwuh Mwuh Mwuh Wuuuuuh... Mario has a tiny banana.” - MatPat ‘17 (No wonder Peach is being stolen by Bowser. It’s to protect her from ‘LITTLE’ Mario...)
Not sure if you guys didn't get the joke or if you're just adding to it, but, if the former; it's referencing the fact that _The Odyssey_ is a sequel (kind of, they're part of the same epic poem series en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Cycle#Contents of which only _The Iliad_ and _The Odyssey_ have survived) to _The Iliad._
@@scaper8 All of us understood all of it before you posted this comment, but thanks for your caution, and I think it's pretty obvious we alrwady knew (I mean, I literally said that SMB1 was like the Illiad)
The way I see this theory, it ties back to his story being raised in “Brooklyn, NY”. I think that New Donk City IS “Brooklyn, NY” & that Mario grew up there. Now the timeline’s messy with Mario in general (Yoshi’s Island to Partners In Time, for instance) but with this, my canon version of the timeline is that Yoshi Island games (SMW2, New, DS) is the beginning of Mario & his relationships, after he & Luigi was dropped off to their true parents in New Donk City to live happy lives. At one point, the Mushroom Kingdom was hosting a party & Mario’s parents brought along the two twins, leaving them to be babysat by Toadsworth. From there, he goes on a huge adventure with his future self & saving Baby Peach. As a baby, he gets inspired by the red & green heroes, so becomes more heroic in his actions & motives. But being a baby, he only has vague memory, if at all of his future self. So Mario grows up to around 18 years old, gets to work on Construction girders & in comes Donkey Kong, fresh from a recent captured from the Wooded Kingdom, kidnapping his childhood crush, Pauline. He raced to defeat Donkey Kong & capture him back up. The city thanked him for not just rescuing Pauline, but stopping the big ape, so they renamed the city to New Donk City, in a way to remember to event. (I don’t know the actual name of the city before the DK thing, so I think it was called Metro City, after the name Metro Kingdom is officially titled.) From there, Donkey Kong Jr. comes to rescue DK from Mario, who was hired to keep a close eye on the unruly ape, & they both escape to a distant island where they rule on their own. From there, Mario gradually went from construction to plumbing, with them soon finding a pipe leading directly to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Bowser had used his evil magic to turn the Toads into bricks. & the rest is history. Now, my personal explanation as to why Mario looks shorter than the people at New Donk. Same explanation with the super bananas, Mario grew accustomed to the Toad’s diet with plenty of fruits & veggies grown locally that naturally gives Toads their short stature, hence Mario being only 5 feet tall (more or less, this is general terms) Peach is the only one exempt from this, is because she’s a Princess, thus have access to foods from other kingdoms & lands, so she’ll have a more balanced diet outside of the Mushroom Kingdom’s usual, but she’s still shorter than New Donk’s citizens, so it’s mostly a genetic thing.

I honestly thought this theory was kind of a stretch until a few days ago, when I was playing BoTW. There’s a mission in which you have to go to the Yiga Clan’s, a group of dangerous thieves, hideout. When you enter the hideout, you find a Gerudo prisioner who says that their only weakness is that they have an obsession with bananas, or something along those lines. These experienced warriors just suddenly leave their posts whenever they see one, and then they keep it to themselves, which fits perfectly with this theory, since they probably use them to become stronger. Then later, in the hideout, there’s a huge secret stash of bananas, in the same place where they kept a treasure chest. And what really blew my mind is that the bananas are called “mighty bananas” and when cooked into a meal, they power-up your attack. They basically make you stronger and more powerful. So maybe this banana theory applies for other Nintendo games, not just Mario.
Imagine a "I might have a gender, but that's just a theory!" shirt. That would actually be awesome- or in any sense, as in "I might be cool, but that's just a theory!", etc.
ed weiner Fidget spinners are just a toy. "OMG EVERYONE IS PLAYING WITH POKÉMON CARDS SOOOOOO MUCH IS SO CRINGEY!!1!!!" Not to mention they can be help to certain people who are neurodiverse
"Who doesn't like a huge banana[?]" I'm just going to quote Yahtzee Croshaw here. "As the bored housewive said to the randy stallion, it's possible to put too much in."
I'm gonna say "yes" cause y'see, I don't think I could truly call myself a macrophile if I didn't have at least some size-bias. (I like chicks though, so yeah... :/)
Tells us he understands how nerd clothing is basically a shirt with a logo. *Gets excited that someone finally understands!* Proceeds to show shirt that has one logo but to the side... *Racks handgun*
But it's somewhat different. It's stylishly just on the side rather than being just put on the chest, and the logo looks different on the shirt, sort of worn down
Keep in mind, mario is also pretty short lmao. He’s canonically 5’1, so he is pretty short for like a 30-40 yr man. although that doesn’t mean these guys in new donk city aren’t tall
This is a great theory, and I'm not trying to be rude, but you've forgotten about one crucial thing. The fact that this is a different world. It's been proven that the force of gravity compresses the spine, and that if we were to eventually move to different planets with less gravity, humans would actually grow taller, because there wouldn't be as much gravity compression on the spine. So, it's very plausible that this planet could just have less gravity than the mushroom kingdom, and that's why the humans are so tall. I've also come up with a way to possibly prove this, but it's a little sketchy. When Mario long jumps off of the skyscraper in the trailer, that's really the only time he is falling, thus allowing you to use pixel measurements to see if he falls slower compared to games based in the mushroom kingdom. I guess the same thing could also be applied when he is in the jump-rope scene, but falling was the first thing I thought of.
"Donkey Kong's enormous bananas..." *chokes* _MatPat, are you hearing yourself saying this?_ " ...also tries to get their hands on Donkey Kong's banana." JEEZ, people need help these days "Why is everyone interested on stealing Donkey Kong's bananas?" IDK *Can we please stop talking about this subject?!* "Who doesn't want a large banana...?" *ME, ME OK?? I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STUPID GIGANTIC BANANAS.* "....marios' got a tiny banana..." *flips table* _I'M DONE_
I'm average sized but want to grow bigger. I can't eat bananas properly though so I'm going to use supplements! Wish me luck that I don't grow too big! I'm wishing you luck with all of those bananas!
What about that since Mario’s earths gravity has suck a strong pull that, they are so much smaller than everyone else. Everyone could be that size because it’s normal. one reason why Mario can jump so is because the gravitational pull is less on this planet the his. And since his body is built to withstand a much harder pull, he can jump much higher than everyone else.Just thought of this idk if it could work tho
Nope, then his proportions would be different, if the gravity was different enough to LITERALLY MAKE HIM HALF THE HEIGHT OF NORMAL PEOPLE his bones would be broken, that's not just some compression of spinal fluid and cartilage. He can jump higher cause video game, the gravity on the mushroom kingdom *is literally 27-33 m/s depending on the game*, while ours is *9 m/s*. Its not that "just thought of this idk if it could work tho", its just actutally wrong, theres less gravity here.
1. Why are Peach, Daisy and Rosalina still relatively giant compared to Mario? 2. Why are New Donk City's residents realistic? 3. If this Theory were true, why would Nintendo create this incredibly convoluted backstory involving Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard? Wouldn't it be more likely that the Donkey Kong references are simply meant to imply Mario is *from* New Donk City and that it's the location in which the original Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. Arcade Games take place?
1. Idk about Peach and Daisy, but gravity affects your height. If there is less gravity, you will get taller. This is why Rosalina is so tall. 2. They are on a different planet. 3. Yeah, you got me there.
Well, to answer 2. If things are based in the Donkey Kong Universe, things there have been generally more realistic compared to Mario. Now pirate crocodiles aside, visually the residents could still fit into this scope.
I don't know, Donkey Kong Country's art style seems pretty in line with Mario's from DK's big cartoony eyes to his brown hair and peach skin. (Gorillas are Black and Grey.) I guess the Donkey Kong games just seems more realistic because more of the characters are based around real animals and the color scheme is more earthy.
It's possible that the bananas' don't affect certain certain primates. Every member of the Kong family is "related" but aren't the same species. Donkey is a Gorilla, while Diddy is a Spider Monkey, just as a quick example. It's possible that Donkey and Diddy aren't affected because they don't have the right genes. But then again, that kind of means Human Evolution in the Mario world isn't a thing since Humans evolved from primates, which means Nintendo believes in creation and Peach really is the Goddess of the world. Huh, maybe Odyssey was meant to prove MatPats theory about Mario and Bowser having to constantly entertain Peach so she doesn't destroy the world.
If you ever order food from a place that claims to put 'love and care' into it, ask for extra love and care in your food. There's fewer ways more satisfying to piss off the person on the other end.

At one point, the Mushroom Kingdom was hosting a party & Mario’s parents brought along the two twins, leaving them to be babysat by Toadsworth.

From there, Donkey Kong Jr. comes to rescue DK from Mario, who was hired to keep a close eye on the unruly ape, & they both escape to a distant island where they rule on their own.

This is a great theory, and I'm not trying to be rude, but you've forgotten about one crucial thing. The fact that this is a different world. It's been proven that the force of gravity compresses the spine, and that if we were to eventually move to different planets with less gravity, humans would actually grow taller, because there wouldn't be as much gravity compression on the spine. So, it's very plausible that this planet could just have less gravity than the mushroom kingdom, and that's why the humans are so tall. I've also come up with a way to possibly prove this, but it's a little sketchy. When Mario long jumps off of the skyscraper in the trailer, that's really the only time he is falling, thus allowing you to use pixel measurements to see if he falls slower compared to games based in the mushroom kingdom. I guess the same thing could also be applied when he is in the jump-rope scene, but falling was the first thing I thought of.
Oddly enough, C.S. lewis wrote about a world with less gravity and tall inhabitants back in the day.
David Borengasser that's kind of what I was going off of, along with the fact that matpat has covered space-growth before
The theory seems to be rushed I think that's why he forgot all about it.
CubeMP that could be possible as well. I didn't really expect it to get into banana's, of all things xD

3:15 he was hinting at it all along!
Just leave it to matpat to overthink things for our entertainment😂
Exactly
I like how he just dismisses Peach being taken away by Bowser
"Donkey Kong's enormous bananas..."
*chokes* _MatPat, are you hearing yourself saying this?_
" ...also tries to get their hands on Donkey Kong's banana."
JEEZ, people need help these days
"Why is everyone interested on stealing Donkey Kong's bananas?"
IDK *Can we please stop talking about this subject?!*
"Who doesn't want a large banana...?"

bananas.

It looks like "Ban2ze BAGELS" to me
to me it says bonzza bagels

SO SATISFYING TO SEE A THEORY WITH SO MUCH TO DO WITH DONKEY KONG AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
MUST BE THE NINTENDO FACTOR

It's caps for a reason.
I was yelling.
Beacuse I was.

Or maybe.... because of... expandong
I'm really short so I'm just gonna go buy a few hundred bananas.
I'm average sized but want to grow bigger. I can't eat bananas properly though so I'm going to use supplements! Wish me luck that I don't grow too big! I'm wishing you luck with all of those bananas!
then theres me at almost 2 meters and still growing
Clemente i am the tallest of all my friend and family and have never eaten a banana since the age of 3 they are really really aweful
eating any more than 7 in one sitting is dangerous, it is believed that eating to many bananas can kill you.
Clemente im really tall im good
King K. Rool = King Krool = King Cruel
….I....I never thought of that, that's preaty funny
yes
that is what it means
you werent the first to realize that
Do any of you realize that this person is copying someone else that wrote almost the same thing

What about that since Mario’s earths gravity has suck a strong pull that, they are so much smaller than everyone else. Everyone could be that size because it’s normal. one reason why Mario can jump so is because the gravitational pull is less on this planet the his. And since his body is built to withstand a much harder pull, he can jump much higher than everyone else.Just thought of this idk if it could work tho
Mushroom Kingdom and Metro Kingdom/New Donk City are on the same Earth.
Mario is an alien. Species: Salirus Marionus
Mario's canon height is 155cm, which would make the new donkers 3 metres tall
Ooo that makes sense!
Nope, then his proportions would be different, if the gravity was different enough to LITERALLY MAKE HIM HALF THE HEIGHT OF NORMAL PEOPLE his bones would be broken, that's not just some compression of spinal fluid and cartilage.
He can jump higher cause video game, the gravity on the mushroom kingdom *is literally 27-33 m/s depending on the game*, while ours is *9 m/s*. Its not that "just thought of this idk if it could work tho", its just actutally wrong, theres less gravity here.
When MatPat made the reference to Homer's Odyssey...I actually have that exact version that he shows! Same thing with the Iliad and the Aeneid!
I guess Wario has been eating some of these bananas. how else is he 10 feet tall?
Jordan it's a reference to another Theory
I'm pretty sure Wario is the same height as Mario
Just saying
Jordan are you new to matpats channel
Catoblepas dont you mean waluigi?
hittrend #696969420911 Bunch of noobs
He said that “fashion is a science” when he talked about his merch, did he hint about style theory 5 years before it got made?
Super Mario Iliad and it's sequal Odyssey?
"It's a me, Nobody"
OMG, dat reference tho.
XD
*slow clapping* Bravo sir, bravo.
Thexevilxwulfy nice reference, Nohbdy
*When someone named nobody pokes you in the eye with a hot toothpick*
WHY DID NOBODY DO THIS TO ME! NOBODY WILL PAY FOR THIS! I HATE NOBODY!
1. Why are Peach, Daisy and Rosalina still relatively giant compared to Mario?
2. Why are New Donk City's residents realistic?
3. If this Theory were true, why would Nintendo create this incredibly convoluted backstory involving Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard?
Wouldn't it be more likely that the Donkey Kong references are simply meant to imply Mario is *from* New Donk City and that it's the location in which the original Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. Arcade Games take place?
^ This
Ladondorf it's a theory no one knows for sure if its fact but he did use a lot of evidence to back it up like any good theory
1. Idk about Peach and Daisy, but gravity affects your height. If there is less gravity, you will get taller. This is why Rosalina is so tall.
2. They are on a different planet.
3. Yeah, you got me there.
Well, to answer 2. If things are based in the Donkey Kong Universe, things there have been generally more realistic compared to Mario. Now pirate crocodiles aside, visually the residents could still fit into this scope.
I don't know, Donkey Kong Country's art style seems pretty in line with Mario's from DK's big cartoony eyes to his brown hair and peach skin. (Gorillas are Black and Grey.)
I guess the Donkey Kong games just seems more realistic because more of the characters are based around real animals and the color scheme is more earthy.

U fockin wot m8
me in 2023 laughing that MatPat thought that the Tosterena ruins were going to be a Aztec pyramid
That Game Theory merch definitely won't get you bullied in school
actually I know some one who had TH-cam Merch and it was quite the opposite at my scbool
LegendaryController1 That's why you buy Idubbbz merch with quotes like "I'm gay," or "Hey, that's pretty good."
Parhy bruh it's just a shirt
I mean, you could just wear it when you aren't in school, but that would just be crazy right?
To quote Technoblade, the ten foot humans had the power of a balanced breakfast.
Which video
Ryan Walsh Technoblade is a small TH-cam channel.
Don't patronize me. I knew who technoblade was. 110k subs isn't a small amount. I asked "which video" not "who is technoblade," right?
i swear to god if you say 'Donkey Kong's enormous banana' again, I'm gonna lose it

but why isn't Donkey Kong big when he has probably ate the most bannanas
Maybe he is the size of diddy without his bananas
The power would've probably worn out
It's possible that the bananas' don't affect certain certain primates. Every member of the Kong family is "related" but aren't the same species. Donkey is a Gorilla, while Diddy is a Spider Monkey, just as a quick example. It's possible that Donkey and Diddy aren't affected because they don't have the right genes. But then again, that kind of means Human Evolution in the Mario world isn't a thing since Humans evolved from primates, which means Nintendo believes in creation and Peach really is the Goddess of the world. Huh, maybe Odyssey was meant to prove MatPats theory about Mario and Bowser having to constantly entertain Peach so she doesn't destroy the world.
Jacob Groves He is giant in smash 64 if that helps
Jacob Groves Maybe he's supposed to protect them from being over used
If you ever order food from a place that claims to put 'love and care' into it, ask for extra love and care in your food. There's fewer ways more satisfying to piss off the person on the other end.

Swiss Cheese, Asher Rwakiseeta thanks for the positivity 👍
I'd rather not find out what their idea of "extra love and care" is.
