Well, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam pretty much confirmed that Paper Mario and original Mario are seperate characters, since the universe of Paper Mario is inside a story book. Before, it was assumed that Paper Mario and original Mario were the same person, just under different visual styles.

Also, I have a hard time believing that Dreamy Bowser outclasses Solaris in power levels. The most powerful person confirmed in the Mario universe is Rosalina, since she observes the cosmos for hundreds (maybe thousands) of years, and obviously has control over the space-time continuum. Some fans have often consider her a "deity" of sorts, but even when compared to Solaris, Rosalina looks like a mere twig by comparison. Solaris is a very powerful being that not only controls space and time, but dimensions and reality as a whole. It would literally stomp anything in the Mario universe.
