GR, I said that continuity didn't really matter to me in the Mario series, but this is a pretty bizarre thing to change out of the blue. That's all. It'd be like them suddenly saying "oh yeah, Mario and Luigi aren't brothers any more". It doesn't really matter if they're friends or what, but it doesn't really make any sense to change something like that, especially if they supposedly don't care about the story. Why not just give some non-committal "they're whatever your imagination wants them to be" answer?
But really, if you don't think it's important, you don't have to make that known. Your lack of interest would be displayed perfectly fine just not commenting. What gets me here is just your seeming disdain for us discussing matters of no import. We're not going to collapse into suicidal madness over this. It's just nerd talk, no different than speculating on whether Epic Mickey is cannon with Kingdom Hearts, and you might have fun just joining in on it and reveling in it not just in spite of it being completely unimportant, but BECAUSE it doesn't matter.
Heck, that angry video game nerd fellow put together an entire series based on pointless dumb questions, like, say, where does Clark Kent put his clothes when he turns into Superman? It doesn't mean my universe revolves around something like that. We're all self-aware about it, but it can be really fun and funny to see just what sort of logistics people come up with for this stuff.
Further, you really have to expect and EMBRACE that sort of thing if you're going to cultivate a fan base in sci-fi.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
