Ashes of DreamsFallen Guardian of Unshakable ResolveMemberMay 22, 202019,086The ages never really matched up anyway. For Cranky to be an old man, either Kongs age rapidly, Mario is ageless, or there's some deep lore that Mario is also Jumpman's descendant. It's Nintendo so the answer is likely "don't think about it that deeply".DunfishMemberOct 29, 20171,462Well the story is ruined... no point to play now! /sFootMemberMar 10, 201912,827Fendoreo1 said:I clicked on the link and can't see it at all, was it changed already?Click to expand...Click to shrink...Scroll down until you see it.LuaMemberAug 9, 20182,111that looks like a kid tho, pauline as a kid?
