This is for my theory on the Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi kept the Baby Mario Bros. at home after PIT. The original Bros. grew too old to fight, and that is why the new Mario Bros. recognize
the Shroobs in BIS, but not Popple in DT or Fawful in BIS
. As for the Mario Kart games and sport games, those simply take place between the other RPG games. The same kind of thing goes for the other younger characters (eg.peach, toadsworth, etc.) Bowser Jr. is not the same as Baby Bowser.
I can answer any questions you post in replys about the theory if you have any.

Interesting.
Although I think they may have also recognized Popple and Fawful, but did not show it in case someone is new to the series and doesn't get it. They didn't give too much detail about the Shroobs, other than "defeated when they were babies" so it wouldn't be as confusing; a newcomer would think "So these things lived in Mario & Luigi's past. Interesting" whereas with Fawful or Popple, they are actual characters rather than the Shroobs who were just generic ones (probably why they didn't add Princess Shroob to the mix)
But I get your theory; it's pretty mind-boggling. You should also post this topic on the MarioBoards; it really is interesting.
I'm glad you posted this because I encourage theories and creativity, but I do not agree. The Bros. recognize the Shroobs because they fought them in the past.
I think they did recognize Fawful in BIS, but just did not make any special note of it. As for DT, I think the writing for the game was to blame there. Popple did not mention the Bros. and they did not mention him.
The Kart games and sports games are just spinoffs, so they don't have to have any particular significance or explanation.
Bowser Jr. is not the same as Baby Bowswer. That's correct.
Maybe I did not understand all of your theory, but I still think the original Bros. are around.

I found something: I am about to fight the shroobs in BIS, and Mario and Luigi are scared of them. Mario explained what was going on to starlow. Mario said they were aliens that once invaded mushroom kingdom, and that they defeated them when they were baby's.
They did defeat them when they were babies, since the arrival of the Shroobs altered the timeline. They sent the babies back once they got back to keep one timeline. I would rather know why the others never mentioned the Shroobs, like the toads or anything. I hate timeline stories!

Remember, Bowser doesn't have too bright a memory. He could have still remembered Fawful though, just didn't think it mattered too much. He was still mad at him from the start, remember? I think Bowser's desire to beat up Fawful stemmed originally from what happened in SS, and Fawful's actions in BIS just added to that.
