 * Somebody put it in the "Candidates for deletion" category with the justification given being "Not an extraterrestrial species". Two weeks passed and nobody contested it, so I deleted it.


 * I understand that Homo nintendonus is not alien. There are some iterations of the franchise in which the Mushroom Kingdom is in another dimension, but these are the same ones in which Mario is from Earth (specifically Brooklyn). The name Homo nintendonus, as far as I know, was only used in a character manual from 1993, which identified Mario as H. nintendonus while also claiming that he's from Brooklyn. The implication being that H. nintendonus is an Earth species. Of course, the most recent versions of the Mario canon have him as a native of the Mushroom Kingdom, but they also dropped the interdimensional aspect of it. In other words, Mario has never been portrayed as an alien, not in any iteration of the franchise, AFAIK. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 18:32, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
