My head canon is that the games where Bowser is the bad guy are just them playing roles and the sports games are their real selves. Rivals, not really enemies. Mario Kart World having all the mooks join in on the karting supports this idea.
not sure that’s hugely better frankly, because now it’s implied that the mooks are just there to let the important people act out decadent fantasies in absurd detail
like being an extra in a mr beast episode whose sole job is to get punched into cold water
