Did you know what happened to the citizens of Mario World?

BE HONEST! :)

[spoiler]
"Many years after the Shroob invasion and Donkey Kong's conquest, King Bowser led his first devastating attack against the Mushroom Kingdom. Using Dark Koopa magic, Bowser transformed many of the kingdom's citizens into blocks, Mushrooms, and other objects. However, when Bowser discovered that Princess Peach had the power to undo his curse on the citizens, he captured her and seven of her closest Mushroom Retainers, imprisoning them in eight castles scattered across the kingdom.

Here's a fanmade back story Peach is the figurehead ruler of Mushroom Kingdom (the day to day running is in fact taken care of by the Chancellor) and while she has a living grandmother (Super Mario RPG), she does not appear to have any living parents in Mushroom Kingdom. Since she does not appear to have any brothers either, this should theoretically make her Queen Peach, but it does not, which would indicate that there is a problem with the succession. It would therefore seem that the crown in Mushroom Kingdom can only be passed onto male heirs, much like how women aren't able to inherit the crysanthemum throne in Japan. Assuming that whomever Peach marries gains the crown, then to Bowser, the warrior ruler of the Koopa (and a small, resource poor land nestled in the volcanic mountains), this represents a golden opportunity. If he is somehow able to kidnap (and hold) Peach, he can: a) Force her to marry him, thus making him the legitimate heir to the crown in Mushroom Kingdom - the more likely scenario given the games. b) Hold her captive indefinitely and either take over or control Mushroom Kingdom's resources and politics, using the threat of harm to their beloved princess as a bargaining chip. It would also help stifle rebellion and/or destroy the morale of any defenders. All in all, this shows that the storyline of the Mario games is a lot deeper than would appear on the surface, with intrigue, war and geopolitical maneuvering going on right under our noses.
