If Sonic and Mario had always existed in the same world, certain things would probably be reinterpreted to fit that reality.
For example, I once heard someone say that Vector could be a Kremling, which honestly makes a lot of sense to me.
Following that same logic, I started thinking about how other things could be connected. For example, King Boo and King Boom Boo (yes, that really is his name) could be the same entity.
I think this could work if King Boom Boo were some kind of alternate form of King Boo — something like Fleetway Super Sonic — a wilder and less rational form.
As for Bowser, the Koopas could be descendants of the Zeti, just like the Babylon Rogues (Jet, Wave, and Storm) and other anthropomorphic birds are descendants of the Babylonian aliens, and just like Chao and Chaos are descendants of the Ancients.
The Lost Hex, much like Little Planet, could be a small celestial body inhabited by the Zeti, but it was destroyed, leaving some of them trapped in the remaining fragments while others stayed on Earth’s surface and eventually became Koopas.
😉 I know that both Bowser and Zavok have spiked bracelets, horns, giant final boss forms, and even defeats where they sink into lava.
That’s why I wanted to connect them somehow.
Just a reminder that I imagine these things purely for fun, so have fun with me and feel free to share your own ideas and interpretations on this topic.
