A Sketch I Did At The Library Because They Were Having A Pokemon Event For Kids. The Scyther And Sirfetch’d

A sketch I did at the library because they were having a Pokemon event for kids. The Scyther and Sirfetch’d are Amethio’s because I refuse to draw Ceruledge ever again.

Bowser Is A Conqueror

An often forgotten fact is Bowser is a conqueror, and doesn't only kidnap Peach.

Starting with the original Super Mario Bros. Bowser didn't originally kidnap Peach out of love, but rather to prevent her from undoing the spell he cast with her magic in his conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. And that it wouldn't be until later games would he gain feelings for Princess Peach.

In Super Mario Bros. 3 Bowser kidnapped Peach at the end of the game mostly out of spite for the Bros. foiling his plan.

In Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World Bowser was already invading Dinosaur Land and trapping the inhabitants the Yoshies in eggs with his magic. He only kidnaps Peach in this game as an afterthought.

In Tetris Attack Bowser is trying to take over Yoshi's Island and in Yoshi Tospy Turvy he is terrorizing Eggland.

In Yoshi's Safari Bowser is trying to take over Jewelry Land and Peach has Mario help stop Bowser and the Koopalings.

In Mario Party 5 Bowser tries to take over the Dream Depot.

In Super Mario 3D World Bowser kidnaps the Sprixies and tries to takeover the Sprixie Kingdom.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder he steals a Wonder Flower and tries to take over the Flower Kingdom.

Finally in Super Mario Odyssey we see Bowser's Kingdom/Country which appears to be another Kingdom he has successfully conquered.

Is Yoshi's Crafted World Canon?

So many people have questioned whether or no the Yoshi craft games like Yoshi's Crafted World and Wooly World. The answer is yes and no.

Sooooooo....

In a Nintendo Dream Article titled Yoshi's Crafted World development materials also released! We asked the staff about the behind-the-scenes story we get some details about the crafted games. Masahiro Yamamoto said the following about Yoshi's Crafted World. "When we were first deciding on the worldview, we decided on the theme of 'crafts made by kindergarteners.' In a kindergarten, children are playing with Yoshi dolls among the crafts they made… That's the image we had of the worldview." In addition to saying "Yes. A kindergarten in the world of Mario, where Baby Mario and Baby Peach live. With that in mind, we designed the empty box while thinking about what kind of candy these children are holding. It's just an image for creative purposes."

So the craft games aren't canon because the events of the game didn't happen to the Yoshi's because they are made up in-universe. But at the same time they are canon because canonically in-universe Baby Mario, Luigi, and Peach are all playing out the events of the game in a Kindergarten. This is also why the game has objects like Yoster Cookies and Moo Moo Milk cartons making up the environment, as these are in universe products.
