* Is Baby DK a young version of the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong arcade DK]] that we now know as Cranky Kong, or is he the DK we know today from ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Country]]'' onward? I ask because based on Cranky's apparent age in the ''Country'' series, Kongs seem to age faster than humans (going from an adult in his prime in 1981 to an elderly curmudgeon in 1992), so it's unlikely that he's actually older than Mario, but Baby DK has the tie, which Cranky's DK never had, implying he's the modern one, but that doesn't make sense if his grandfather is younger than Mario. [[TakeAThirdOption Or is the baby actually the eternally-missing DK Jr?]]

Added DiffLines:

* What exactly do these "stars" do? I mean as in the star children; the reason Bowser goes back in time. What do they do? Does it give them some kind of power or something? It was rather ambiguous.
** It... gives them top billing in the series, including spinoffs? Maybe it's more than that, but I wouldn't know. Still, I'm fond of the theory that the seventh star child, a green Yoshi, was granted the ability to speak properly. Thus he's the fluent Yoshi seen in a number of earlier games, most notably ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', where he serves as a translator.
** (Original poster) I believe that the green Yoshi who is the seventh star child is ''THE'' Yoshi, and it makes sense (they wouldn't just make it a random Yoshi). But is it officially him?
** Well, Bowser stated that the power the stars would give him would enable him to take over the universe, so I guess that's the answer...
*** AND THUS, VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy WAS BORN... IN '''SPACE!!!'''
* What exactly is Six Face Sal? What species? I think it's a Bouncie. (The pink bubble with a face.)
** I think it might be a goal ring, judging by its appearance when defeated.
