Mario Timeline

Okay, so... it states the name of the sword guy (Exor) is based off Excalibur (further implying the connection between the Mushroom World and Earth is intra-dimensional cuz why else would an inhabitant of the Mushroom World be named after something on Earth if travel between the two was scarce?) but Mario doesn't get the reference because swords don't exist in the Mushroom World... well, they clearly do, because Exor's there. I'd say swords are just very uncommon in the Mushroom World and non-existent in the Mushroom Kingdom (at least up until this point). Crisis averted...

Exor actually isn't from the mushroom world, he and the smithy gang are from another dimension iirc

Of course they are... I seem to remember cutlasses in a Mario game that takes place prior to RPG, probably Mario Land (fortunately, since that takes place in Sarasaland, the 'scarce in the Mushroom World, non-existent in the Mushroom Kingdom' theory still holds). Though, other than that, I don't think there are actually any games on the Mushroom World that have swords before RPG, so it's not as troublesome as it first seemed...
