    In that case, this is canonically a goomba:

    And those Mario games with the little mushroom guys are just fanfiction.

      But it all makes like a weird amount of sense. I mean Mario also isn’t made of weird pixelated legos, either. It’s like the writers were shown some stills from the game and told the basic story and then dropped acid.

        I can see Yoshi being a raptor or even Dennis Hopper as Bowser since he’s supposedly an evolved dinosaur, but how do you go from an anthropomorphic mushroom with just a head and feet to a reptilian humanoid with a tiny head?

      We know that SMB3 was a play but we don’t know that the other games in the series weren’t. The 1993 movie might be the only truly canon entry in the franchise.
