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 Thethe 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 52:
** [[Being John Malkovich|Malkovich Malkovich!]]
** He spits the pipes (and everyone/thing he swallowed) in the ending of the game, so he wouldn't be able to go down them into himself. Also, he can't exactly jump.
** I believe he'd just get to walk around inside himself, and when he walked inside himself, the himself he is walking on would walk inside himself. Kind of like [[Rule 34]] of [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Portal]].
 
* Why does nobody seem to remember the Shroobs in the second game? Yeah, there was a lot of screwing around with the time stream, but that didn't cause the invasion. The people who weren't babies should have been at least mentioned something about the near-destruction of the Kingdom 20-30 years ago.
Line 66:
** Peach arrives at the past castle after the invasion is already well underway, though.
What I want to know is, what happened to the Beanbean Kingdom when this was happening? Apparently nothing too serious, if it turned out okay without needing to be saved...
***** It might also be worth mentioning that the Mushroom Kingdom constantly suffers from one problem or another. Back story for [[Super Mario Bros.]] says most of the population into blocks. Bowser has been and will be a constant problem on many levels for the kingdom, not counting at least two alien invasions other than the Shroobs. [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]] may apply here. In addition, the people in the past might not have been able to understand why the Shroobs disappeared without a trace thanks to the [[Deus Ex Machina|Baby Tears]]. Add all this together and it might just be a particularly odd [[Noodle Incident|footnote]] in the history of a rather odd kingdom in constant war with other odd kingdoms.
 
* Why did Fawful decide to give Bowser a treadmill to unchub him? He just threw a wrench into his own plan.
Line 88:
 
* [[Fridge Logic|How the heck was the future not affected when the past was invaded by Shroobs?!]]
** Because presumably, Mario and Luigi had already gone back and fixed it. This isn't [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]], okay?
** My theory is going to burn some brains so sit down and relax: Theoretically a possible future with a link to the past (no reference intended) is not affected by the past until all links are severed like at the end of the game. Also the future/present may or may not snap into the future/present whereas the Shroobs had won, that is; if the Marios and Luigis had relaxed until after the holes had closed the future would have perhaps snapped into the shroob-conquered future, whether anyone had Time Traveller's Immunity is another question.
*** Yeah, I'd say that this game works in a single time stream and that when the game began, all of the actions done in the past had already happened. In other words, the Mario Bros. were pretty much destined to defeat the Shroobs, acting out stuff exactly the way people who lived back then had remembered 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 Thethe 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 Thethe 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?
Line 128:
 
* In the third game, where were Bowser's kids when Fawful took over Bowser Castle?
** [[Put Onon a Bus|There's a trope for that.]]
** [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|They were baking a cake!]]
