Engarde scratches his face at the end of 2-4, but he already had scratches on his face. I think he was guilty of something before, but it was very petty? Stealing cookies from the cookie jar? Knocking a vase over?

Kinky...

My headcanon is that Daryan and Klavier used toget together and play Guitar hero and similar games on their days off.

I haven't played PLvsAA yet either, but I thought Labrynthia was basically a completely separate universe...? So Layton and Wright wouldn't have had to come from the same source times.
I also don't remember cell phones being referenced at all in PL. My brother insists there was a puzzle that talked about texting, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything... because other than that, none of the characters seem to, say, own or use a cell phone.

Aww of course, but secret? I like to think of her as that kind of person who dances her way through life.


(And, unrelated: Apollo's got a treasure trail and he's damn proud of it)

When a person's spirit is being channeled by a spirit medium, the more powerful the spirit is, the more the medium's appearance changes to match them. This would explain why Maya's appearance changes more when she's channeling Dahlia than when she's channeling Mia. Dahlia is a more powerful spirit.

Here's a few of mine:

Matt Engarde has split personality disorder. Before his "reveal", he says something along the lines of "It's time for you to meet..... him." It would also explain why the Magatama didn't go off at first, when he said that he didn't do it. The Matt Engarde you meet at first and the evil Matt Engarde are two separate personalities existing within the same body

Actually, Maya's appearance doesn't change any more or less. In both cases, the only indicators that Maya is, in fact, channeling is that it's still Maya's hair (color and style) and clothes - although neither hair style nor clothes apply to Dahlia because she changed both of them. If Mia changed her hair and clothes too, she'd also look nothing like Maya, apart from sibling resemblance.

Her appearance departs from Maya's just as much as Mia's does. It's just more noticeable.

Actually, this directly contradicts what I noted in the "Obvious thing you didn't notice" thread.

Proofs:
Default Maya:
Note body type.
Mia:
Again, note body type and face shape. Mia looks different from Maya.
Dahlia:

Her appearance departs from Maya's just as much as Mia's does. It's just more noticeable.

Honestly, I think dimentio is onto something... and that another factor is at play here. Even if body type and hair color were similar, other people would catch on to the differences between Iris and channeled!Dahlia, especially in the facial area. Sister Bikini, who practically raised Iris, and Phoenix, who spent six months "dating" Iris, would have known something was up right away.

In addition, there was another instance where Dahlia was channeled by a medium of different body type and was still mistaken as her sister Iris.

There are 2 alternate universes that the games take place in. One in which GS2, GS3, and the GK series follow the events of GS1, and one in which 1-5, GS4, and GS5 follow it. It would explain many things, such as why the continuity is so severely destroyed in 1-5 compared to what we see in GS2, GS3, and the GK series. In the continuity in which GS4 and GS5 take place, GS2 and GS3, along with the entire GK series never happened, and vice versa! It would explain why hardly anyone other than Pearl and Hickfield that debuted in GS2 and GS3 appear in GS4 and GS5. It would also explain why Edgeworth already seems to be his truth searching self in 1-5; it's in a separate continuity.

Uh, no. GK would also have to be in an alternate universe, considering in I-4 Edgeworth was searching for the truth before his first case as a prosecutor.

Iris and Dahlia have the same chest size. The parasol and Dahlia's hand block that part of her body.

They really don't look the same to me. It even isn't about the parasol, it's the shading.

However, Iris's (and Dahlia's, when channeled, for that matter) chest size being bigger in Bridge to the Turnabout might be easily explained - their chests just increased in size for these 5 years.
