Iterations

Iterations are events created by Len and the Lord that cause Mario and other characters to be reborn after a death. While some Iterations are vastly different from the last, far more often than not the Iterations occur at a time where the stars align to the point where almost nothing is different from the point of their deaths. This implies a sort of natural cycle in the Mario universe where no matter what happens, everything will inevitably reset to a status quo of sorts. The Galactic Rebirth from Super Mario Galaxy may play a hand in this. However, when Len died in Super Mario Continuance (REITERATED), she made one last iteration. Because she did not pass her powers on to anyone else, this marks the final time a Reiteration has happened.

Major Iterations
Below is a list of the most distinct types of Iterations.

Super Mario Bros. Iteration
The Super Mario Bros. Iteration is the most common basis of an Iteration. Though some Iterations may bend the rules a little, it all boils down to Mario saving Princess Peach in the fantasy world of the Mushroom Kingdom.

OVA Iteration
This is where Super Mario Bros. "The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach" takes place.
