Line 8:
** Actual serious response: Perhaps there's some device that regulates or tests the water further down the line, which uses up more power when the water flow is higher. Now, suppose that device is on the same circuit as the Beanstar's security system. Fixed plumbing = higher water flow = more power used up = less power to the security system = force field fails. Any questions?
** In addition, it also makes sense to have the key to taking out the security be the last thing one would suspect... and in the last place anyone would ''want'' to go.
* So, after Fawful's plans are stopped and all is said and done, [[What Happened to The Mouse?|has anything changed regarding Bowser]]? He still has that Vacuum Block, and we didn't see him regurgitate any pipes. Can the Mario Bros. still enter and exit his body at will? There could still be some very strange days and battles ahead...
** It's not like Bowser has ever really be consistent with his abilities. One day he's a fifty-foot incarnation of evil capable of incredible dark magic, the next he's an eight-foot doofus barely smart enough to breath fire. If the game designers want him to he'll have that power, if not, then he won't.
** Shouldn't you really be wondering how the pipes can connect from outside Bowser to inside, even when he moves around? ;)
Line 58:
** If you speak to Madame Broque with Mario and Luigi, she sometimes mentions the Shroob invasion. Plus, {{spoiler|Mario and Luigi tell Starlow about it after the three Shroobs are defeated in Bowser's Castle. A [[Continuity Nod]] is even made to the fact that it was Luigi, with his baby tears of Shroob smelting, who really destroyed the Shroobs in the end.}} Otherwise, there's no real reason for anyone to mention the Shroobs: everyone's got enough on their plate worrying about Fawful.
*** And before Fawful, they never mentioned it because they were more worried about Bowser, the Shadow Queen/X-Nauts, Smithy, Kamek, Bleck...
** I think you're misinterpreting the question: In ''Partners in Time'', the Shroobs invade the past Mushroom Kingdom. During that game, the present-day characters treat this as a new development. Why? It's like if someone from the present-day U.S. went back to the 60's and brought back the exciting new information we were involved in the Vietnam War. The Shroob invasion happened independently of the time travel (Peach only arrived after they had already invaded), so the other [[Timey -Wimey Ball]] explanations don't really seem to apply.
*** Mario, Luigi, and Peach were babies during the invasion so they were too young to remember. Egadd is old enough to remember but he was wrapped up in his own research and likely missed the whole thing. If you visit a room off to the right of the library late in the game a Toad mentions finding a book about the invasion written by Kylie Koopa. So SOME people do remember the invasion.
**** Does it really matter how young they are? They are clearly old enough to handle weapons, to talk, and perform other basics actions that babies in general aren't old enough to do. Is it really so much of a stretch to say that they should remember going on a huge adventure filled with peril, danger, and many near fatal incidents that finally ended with them ''saving the entire world from an insane alien species''. Even if they can't remember it exactly, they should atleast have some memory of it.
Line 106:
** {{spoiler|Perhaps the dissolving only works from the outside in?}}
** {{spoiler|Not enough tears.}}
** {{spoiler|Maybe Yoob is immune to the tears. [[What Happened to The Mouse?|The ending didn't show what (if anything) happened to him]]--see the next JBM.}}
 
* At the end of the second game, [[What Happened to The Mouse?|what happened to Yoob?]] {{spoiler|Did he disintegrate, turn into a normal (possibly still giant) Yoshi, or was he unaffected?}} The third game's Fawful Guys and Dark Fawful Guys add even more confusion to this: one of their attacks has them get eaten and spit out as eggs by some offscreen, Yoob-like creature (and this can happen even after Bowser inhales them!).
 
* Yoob has a factory inside it. How did this exist and function ''before'' the [[Make My Monster Grow]] sequence?
