The method in which Yoshis and Lumas are born has no baring on the existence of the stork in Mario lore. That's where humans come from, and there's nothing contradicting it. And given that Kamek knew of it, it can be assumed that's where Koopas come from as well.
It does have a bearing on it since it proves that A) the stork isn't the end all be all, there are other methods of reproduction, and B) also hints at the fact that storks get these babies from somewhere. It's more likely that the stork is helping orphans find families rather than popping them out of thin air.
I pretty much deem the stork as non-canon at this point though since the Yoshi's Island story has literally been retold multiple times now. Like it's the exact same story but they change elements of it.
Other than to give the villain motive.
Bowser Jr didn't need Peach to motivate him. He's shown to be a loyal kid to his dad and does anything he asks of him. Bowser didn't need to tell Jr Peach was his mother to motivate him. Every other game shows Bowser Jr co-operating with Bowser just fine, regardless of Peach's involvement, and even in Sunshine, it's quite clear he looks up to his dad. It's a pointless plot thread that added nothing.
You know, Roxas' storyline wouldn't differ at all if he didn't cry about ice cream. It was completely unnecessary, too, and he probably would've been a better, more believable character if it hadn't happened.
And there you show that you don't even get the scene. He isn't crying about ice cream, he's naturally upset by losing his friend. Eating ice cream and having banter is just what they most commonly did together, it's a symbol of their friendship. Having nobody to eat ice cream with equates to him having no friends and being all alone, while also being a literal fugitive to the Organisation.
The stork's an incompetent idiot. Given the amount of time Peach spends locked up in Bowser's place, maybe he came to the conclusion that they're a couple?
Peach isn't actually Bowser Jr's mother though. That much is confirmed by the end of the game, Bowser just flat out lied to Jr. That's what I meant by it being a pointless plot thread that added nothing, that they ultimately had to cop out of.
Peach kisses Luigi if you rescue her in games where he's a playable character.
On the cheek/forehead, which isn't romantic.
Cheating was potentially introduced in Mario in other areas but that isn't an example of it (and it's no less stupid in those other areas either as it was a clear oversight).
I prefer to go with what's canon.
Some of the spin-offs are canon though and introduce elements that stay with the series.
I mean you're trying to say Yoshi's Island is canon and that's a spin-off in itself, even though it makes less sense to be canon than most other ones.
Actually, the current DK was delivered by the stork. Yoshi's island DS actually confirmed that both Kongs and Koopas are delivered by storks as well as humans.
(And whatever the hell Wario is)
As I already mentioned, the Yoshi's Island games aren't really canon as they are constantly retconned. They are all the same story just told differently, and Yoshi's Island DS is not the latest iteration, so it certainly can't be canon.
And once again, even assuming that was the case, the stork has to get the babies from somewhere.
Ice cream and ZeRo. Okay I think I got it.
(I don't)
I mentioned that ZeRo said he voted for Sora on the ballot and that I thought it was cool and that I also did the same.
Cue comments about "KH'S STORY IS STOOPID AND I DONT GET IT" and some other comment about Sora being a replacement for Snake as a "stupid story rep".
I then pointed out how various Nintendo games already have way stupider stories anyway, and people got defensive over that, mainly when I brought up the "Mama Peach" fiasco from Mario Sunshine as an example. With people trying to say that isn't stupid because "MUH STORK".
And apparently there is an inherent hate for KH here too which is weird.
