New Super Mario Bros. Wii/Headscratchers

• If that's the Kamek from Yoshi's Island, shouldn't he be old by now?
  • That's assuming Koopas age the same rate as humans/mushroom people. Alternatively, Wizards Live Longer.
    • Turtles live longer, too! Sea turtles can live up to 150 years. And that's still young!
• Technically, shouldn't it have been New Super Mario Bros. 2? ^[1]
  • Maybe they're saving that name for when they actually make another game that uses the same formula as Super Mario Bros. 2. (The international Super Mario Bros. 2, I should say. I don't know what they'd call it in Japan.)
  • The core Mario titles usually don't have numbers. Spinoffs and remakes are another story, but the core titles dropped them a while ago. Super Mario Bros. 4 is Super Mario World, but that makes Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island into Super Mario Bros. 5, and that would get really confusing if it was allowed to continue, so Nintendo basically gave up with the numbers. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an anomaly, but it's also the first Mario game released on the same console as its predecessor since the NES.
  • Actually, New Super Mario Bros. 2 is its own game, on the 3DS.
• How are characters that aren't Mini able to get into the Mini Pipes along with those that are?
