Information regarding remakes of original games can be organized a variety of ways. Unless a remake is explicitly established as a re-telling of the events of the original game, content from remakes can either be placed after sections about the originals or can be placed in its own section according to when the remake was released (this depends on user preference and what makes the most sense for the article). This indicates that remakes could either be a re-telling of past events or represent completely new events, and it is not up to the wiki to speculate on what "actually" happened. Just as we cannot speculate whether ''New Super Mario Bros.'' came before or after ''Super Princess Peach'', we likewise cannot speculate when a remake occurs, unless Nintendo has explicitly established that the remake is a re-telling of past events. In this case, both the original and remake are true and happen at the same time; they are simply alternative versions of the same occurence. | Information regarding remakes of original games can be organized a variety of ways.
