::They do because just like in ATYD, it changes Mario's colors to resemble Waluigi while still keeping the M on his hat. In Odyssey, the Waluigi cap had the upside down L, while ATYD changes the M to yellow. Which is also the only time (to my knowledge) that Mario wore Waluigi's colors in the Mario games.

:::The thing is that we know that at least two of Mario's costumes are explicitly based on two other moustached rivals of his: Foreman Spike and Wario. We have citations for it. It is more believable that the purple costume (which, again, was introduced in Smash 4, which predates Odyssry by several years) is just based on Waluigi. We have no reason to think otherwise. There is no implied connection to A Thousand-Year Door. It would have been unusual for the “M” on Mario’s cap to have changed for the purple costume because it is still an “M” on all the other ones (including the one based knowingly based on Wario), so using it as a reference for an explicit ATYD | :::The thing is that we know that at least two of Mario's costumes are explicitly based on two other moustached rivals of his: Foreman Spike and Wario.

What you suggest also does not seem to adhere to {{s|wikipedia|Occam's razor}}, a deductive principle in academic writing.[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 15:46, 26 October 2018 (EDT) | ||
