Either you didn't see my post on Knuckles vs DK or you ignored it. Why isn't the Mushroom World moon as big as our moon? Because it's only as big as DK Isle in the cutscene? Why can't DK Isle have a length equal to the diameter of the moon? The diameter of the moon is 3000km, so it's certainly possible.

The only thing in the cutscene with a canonically confirmed length is the distance from the Mushroom World to its moon, confirmed in Paper Mario 2 as 389,603 kilometers. That's roughly 1000 pixels in the cutscene, so 1 pixel is 389,603 meters. The moon is 80 pixels in radius, meaning its radius is over 30,000 kilometers and 18 times larger than our moon. Considering that volume is the cube of radius, that means my estimation would be lower than the true value by a factor of 5700. Either the cutscene is scaled down for cinematic purposes or DK's true strength is 3.7e43 joules.
