Probably because most of the non-videogame media are non-canon and thus irrelevant. Like the DiC cartoon and the live-action movie. Even the Japanese media take weird liberties like that one anime movie where Mario gets NTR'd by a dog who was actually a prince or that one gamebook where Luigi turns out to be a handsome-looking prince.

I think it does sort of have a timeline. Like Rosalina resets the universe in some game or some shit.

The Mario Kart games have continuity like that too. DK Jr got replaced by DK, so he grew up??? And Dry Bones replaced Koopa so he died or something.

10 years in the future somebody comes back in time who is a psychic bee, or dung beetle.

Is it actually a goddamn insect? Or a person in an insect? How did he fuck over Giygas' plants thus far? How did he find out about the meteorite? How did he even get on the meteorite? Just what the fuck?

There's so much weirdness in this franchise that is never explained.

It's less a matter of Yoshi's tongue being strong and more one of Blarg's body being soft. Think about it, his body is made of molten lava. While incredibly hot, it's also semi-liquid.

I'm assuming originally Blargs are made of stone or metal and only the ones that live in lava exist in this half-molten state.

There is no story, it's just another innocent wild animal that Samus murdered without a second thought because she's a bloodthirsty genocidal monster. I wonder just how many species she's made extinct in planetary detonations alone. Crocomire's liver could have been the cure for space cancer, now we'll never know because Samus deep fried him and blew up his entire planet so she could get back a stolen jellyfish.

I'm talking about wikis in general though. Long-running franchises tend to be cluttered with retcons and contradictions, especially when it comes to something like Star Wars (or MGS to make it vidya related), that it's much interesting to look up the "why" of things instead.
