I honestly agree with PloZ, however i don't know about Paper Mario /=/ Mario.

As a matter of a fact, if Paper Mario verse is contained within the Mario verse, since it looks like a storybook inside Mario's real world, that means that everything that affected the universe must have affected the storybook as well, but that is false and if we use that logic many fallacies would be created.

However, it is still true that Paper Mario was still showed to be a storybook character in Paper Mario 64, which could relate to Paper Jam's plot (Paper Mario being part of the storybook inside Mario's world).

^However, that again means that literally every character in Mario is High 2-A since they views Paper Mario as fiction, which obviously isn't the case, and it'll be very stupid to say that Goomba>Dimentio.

Overall, if i have to be honest, neither Metal or PloZ is right. In my opinion, Paper Mario being the same as Mario is OK, but then again there are the facts that i mentioned above, and because of that, to me, it would be better to keep them in separate pages.
