Telling me that Game Theory's infamous video (the "Why Mario is Mental" one, not the one in this entry) is just a joke is preaching to the choir. :)

But there are enough people who treat that video as 100% fact (which definitely doesn't mean it is or that I think it is!), I'm surprised that when Nintendo decided to have MatPat make a Super Mario Maker level for their channel, no one at Nintendo was like "Uh, this guy's told people that Mario is insane and a lot of people are taking it too seriously... are you sure we should have him appear on our channel?" After all, it took about a decade for Nintendo and Sega's rivalry to end, and Sega wasn't even telling people that Mario was insane - they were just telling people to buy their games instead of Nintendo's.

I also said that it was ironic that MatPat made a level where you have to abandon Yoshi, since he cited Mario abandoning Yoshi (which you never actually have to do in any actual Super Mario World level even for a secret exit or a Dragon Coin; only as a last resort when both ( ... )

I'm not aware of anyone who is ACTUALLY serious about it, it seems to me more like people are just putting it forward as a fun (to them) theory of something that is possible...no different than a video I saw on cracked about the whole X-Files being part of Mulder's insanity instead of things that actually happened. Just a fun fan theory of one possible idea.
