Yeah, I’m never quite sure how I feel about Mario. It’s cool that it isn’t some bog-standard fantasy setting and it’s cool that it doesn’t take itself too serious, but it’s also really weird at times.
Someone will immediately correct me on this, but I don’t think there’s been cats in the Mario universe, when they suddenly introduced Mario in a furry cat suit, for example.
Does Mario even know what cats look like? Or does he canonically live in the real world and only occasionally takes trips into the land of shrooms?

Mario lives in this world actually, the video games are just dramatizations
