I think WAY too much about how sexual dimorphism works in the Mario universe, like these characters are the same species from the same series:
Why would Mario characters even need a sex? They deliver babies by stork, therefore sexuality isn’t a thing - makes sense, E rated fantasy world - which you would assume means the Mario universe doesn’t need sexes, just genders - but there are Mario characters who are explicitly stated to be transgender, meaning they had to be assigned something at birth - HOW DOES THIS WORK?
This rant was originally much longer and much less coherent.
