Say what you like about Esther Rantzen as a broadcaster - and believe me, few people can have laughed harder than me at the Victor Lewis-Smith/NTNOCN/Henry Root sendups - but she did her best to try and improve life for so many people in so many ways and we could do with more like her.

They are very much loving sendups of the unexamined class in the genre. That’s why the direct engagement with class in Rian’s is so pointed — it uses a vehicle for the romanticization of class hierarchy to critique modern class codes.

They're getting to a generation of people in major design positions that were AFTER the generation that grew up on SMB 1-3 and World and wanting to do sendups to those. And the DKC games were kindof a big friggin deal.

This style of melodramatic villainy is often associated with silent films but if it was being spoofed in 1906, perhaps it was part of Gilded Age drama?
I found sendups dating all the way back to the 1850s, some specifically using "and the villain still pursued her..." line.
