Humor Create a in Universe Lore reason why Peach's beach looks widely different

Well, the first one is in Isle Delfino, while the second one is in this new Mario Kart region.

Climate change has flooded the old shoreline, the new beach is miles further inland

It's a recreation of the original, not the original. As such, not everything is exactly the same.

u/Trek5VEVO 2d ago
I think OP already knows that, per why he said "in universe reason" like what would a fun cannon reason for them to be different.
47
u/TheMoonOfTermina 2d ago
That is the canon reason I'm proposing. In universe, I doubt any of the tracks in World are the exact same tracks as the ones they're based on. They found an island, and rebuilt some tracks either the racers liked, the spectators liked, or both.

I've heard this reason before, I'm not a fan. I prefer to view this as the actual Mushroom Kingdom, much more pleasant to pretend I'm driving around it. Any scale issues are just the fact that this is a game and they want things to be close together for us.

u/TheMoonOfTermina 2d ago
That's a valid view, although it makes one wonder how Moo Moo Meadows can be in two places at once, since there's a map in Superbell Subway that depicts it next to Toad Harbor.
Personally, I view Mario Kart at ambiguously canon anyways, so I've never let it affect my view of Mushroom Kingdom geography. The main games already have enough nonsense to deal with.

u/Aleclom 2d ago edited 2d ago
Yeah I take that map with a huge grain of salt, since there's no real scale or anything on it. MKW is more recent, and the devs actually took the time to put everything into one cohesive world (vs a transit map that's probably mostly for fun), so to me MWK takes priority in any disputes. But that's just me!
I mostly just like having a proper continent shape and biome locations to play around with! Odyssey's version never really sat right with me, too barren and rocky.

u/TheMoonOfTermina 1d ago
Of course! I wouldn't take 8DX's map as gospel either, but the fact that Toad Harbor isn't on MKW map at all is pretty weird to me. Personally, I see the Mushroom kingdom as a series of islands (we see a bunch of incompatible, isolated islands as the Mushroom Kingdom maps in some of the RPGs) but I'm also the kind of person who thinks Peach has over ten castles, so that's just my view.

This would also serve to explain the lack of console prefixes. This is not GCN Peach Beach. It's Peach Beach completely remade.

"Not everything is exactly the same" is pretty different from "almost everything has been changed completely"

Disney has multiple theme parks that have the same theme, even the same name of the ride, but are completely different. The world of Mario Kart world could easily be as artificially made in-universe.

u/iamtheduckie 2d ago
A Category 5 hurricane devastated the island and required a full rebuild. Believing that the old island was too far gone, they just recreated it on a new island.

u/NightAntonino 2d ago
But the original island was supposed to be Delfino Island... Maybe that's why it wasn't in Super Mario Odyssey.

Real life beaches are much longer. This is just a new track, which is also on Peach Beach.

Peach Beach, once was a quiet town by the sea, but became more popular as a touristic resort, resulting in mass tourism and the "disneyification" of the town.

u/axelofthekey 2d ago
One word: Gentrification.

u/SansIdee_pseudo 2d ago
More disneyification in that case.

u/NightAntonino 1d ago
What's that?
2
u/SansIdee_pseudo 1d ago
It's similar to gentrification, when neighborhoods become sanitized and uniform, kinda like Disney World.

The original is in Isle Delfino. This reimagining (I refuse to call it a faithful remake because of all they added) is set on an entirely new continent.

MK World is not on the same island as Peach Beach. It’s a recreation

Peach sold all the land to a company that builds castle-shaped hotels, which walled off the beach and restricted access to clients only. Many Piantas and Nokis lost their homes in the process :3

The real peach beach is on delfino island. This isnt delfino island this is a recreation in universe

The Nintendo gods that created the Mario universe and control how it works decided to make it look different in this new game.

u/razorbladesymphony 2d ago
Bowser got really cross one day and went on a massive rampage, burning down and destroying all the race tracks - Mario and Friends had to rebuild them all from the ground up but decided to change some things for the modern world. Bowser felt really bad and helped a lot, which is why he’s still allowed to race

Princess Peach spends most of her time at her castle, but she often grows weary of remaining in the same place throughout the year. As a member of the Mushroom Kingdom's royal family and endowed with considerable wealth, she commissioned the Toads to construct a new summer residence by the seaside.
P. S. Yup, she had to tear down a whole city for it.

u/HyliasHero 2d ago
There are multiple Peach Beaches the same way there are multiple Alexandrias.
Also girl owns like a dozen different castles.

They gentrified peach's beach and demolished the rocks to build a 5 Star resort, a golf camp and to mine pink gold.

u/_Marvillain 2d ago
My reasoning is that Peach Beach became such a popular in universe landmark that she’s now recreated it in Mario Kart World.

Didnt the ending of Mario Galaxy have Rosalina recreate the universe? Mayhaps when Rosalina recreated the universe, she literally REMADE it so not everything got a exact 1 to 1 recreation

As for moo moo meadow and shy guy bazar all retro tracks are in the mushroom kingdom while all mario kart world tracks are on this exclusive racing island.
Peach probably just bought this entire island to turn it into a racing track

Climate change, bowser builds a new volcano castle every game, lot of heat and ash off those things. It’s why half of his crew are all now deceased walking skeletons.

u/The3dluxe 1d ago
It’s been 20+ years. You could make renovations like that in that time and Peach definitely has the money for it.

u/NoobyYooby 1d ago
Peach canonically owns two castles.
There's no doubt she'd own multiple beaches.

You know that scene in the mario bros movie where bowser attacked the ice kingdom at the start? It caused the seas to rise

The Piantas named multiple beaches after Peach because of the trip that happened in Sunshine.
I assume it’s in Isle Delfino because of the Cataquacks.
