You're in denial and need to accept reality.
The irony of this statement being honestly used when discussing fiction and fantasy is painful.
what does canon mean?
Canon is a term used to describe a cohesive work and what has occurred in it.
I bring up Metroid: Other M because it's another case where a creator said something stupid, in that case: "Samus is secretly a crying little girl on the inside who needs a man to tell her what to do, and also she can't kill Ridley without help." The majority of fans refuse to accept that because it contradicts the past Metroid canon as shown in the games and supplementary materials.Why bring up Metroid this is Mario i have miyamoto's words while yall coming at me with 'he contradicts himself' creators words > your fanfic no matter how much he 'contradicts' himself im not too fussed about this but its clear as hell that the Koopalings aren't related to Bowser they look nothing alike... part of the similar species? Sure but related ...Nope.
Similarly, Miyamoto said: "The Koopalings are not Bowser's children because I say so." despite the fact that they were introduced as his children, despite the fact that for over twenty years they've been his children, and despite the fact that their designs are obviously supposed to invoke the feeling of being King Koopa's Kids. Really, a bunch of siblings who look different from each other but all share familial similarities are far more interesting than just one mini-me alone. I'm not sure why you're attacking this concept so fiercely.
