Also, it's just common sense that Paper Mario=Mario. People only doubt that that's the case because of the 5th installment of the Mario & Luigi series. However, there are multiple references to Paper Mario in the regular games and even statements that say Mario turns into Paper Mario. Also, Grand Star Bowser would survive the destruction of the universe, as that was his goal: destroy the universe and create a new one. I'm not saying Mario's Universe level (Those are outliers. Plus, Dreamy Bowser and Antasma with the Dark Stone are Multiverse level, not Universe level).
