ehhhh i think this is quite a reach

I absolutely would not call super paper mario its own series

Well, it's not technically its own series since it only has one game, but it's not in the same lore timeline as the other Paper Mario games. Super Paper Mario, within its own universe, explicitly states that it's a pure 2D universe, being able to "flip" into 3D is an incredibly new/weird thing to the beings within Super Paper Mario, while it's a very established thing within the Paper Mario world. Super Paper Mario is a similar timeline, but not the same.

Nintendo also tends to be very deliberate about things like this, when it comes to name. For example, Paper Jam is explicitly a "Mario & Luigi" game, which means Paper Mario's appearance in it is non-canon to Paper Mario. They use these naming patterns deliberately. The "Super" Paper Mario seems deliberate, since they wanted to indicate it was NOT the path Paper Mario was actually going in, and... Likewise, it's not the path Paper Mario went in, gameplay-wise.
