I'm not the one claiming I have proof for DK Isle's size. That was you, saying that because the moon was only as big as DK Isle it couldn't be as big as our moon. What I used to find the size of the moon was the distance from the Mushroom World to the moon.

They made the distance from the Mushroom World to its moon the same as the distance from Earth to Earth's moon. That alone should show that they do intend for moons, planets, etc. to be roughly equivalent to their real-world counterparts. However, you also have to take into account tidal forces, which are caused by the moon's gravity. Since the Mushroom World's tides are not significantly different than the Earth's tides, the Mushroom World's moon must exert around the same gravitational force on the Mushroom World as Earth's moon does on Earth. Since they're the same distance away, they must also be of similar mass. But actually if you just want to ignore that and go 100% with the cutscene, then you are right. It's not the same size as our moon. It's 18 times bigger than our moon, as I have just shown. So my result of 6.62e39 J should actually be around 4e43 J.

They do follow the same canon. In Paper Mario, Luigi references Mario Party, Mario Tennis, and Mario Golf. Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64 has the exact same layout as in Paper Mario. Shooting Star Summit reappears in Partners in Time, connecting Paper Mario to Mario & Luigi, and in Superstar Saga, a block from the original Super Mario Bros appears. In Donkey Kong Country 2, Cranky Kong says, "Whisking off maidens and chucking barrels seven days a week, I was!" This is a reference to the original Donkey Kong and Mario vs Donkey Kong.
