Title: Mario species...
Post by: Nintendoobsessed on May 26, 2007, 10:37:05 AM: I'm not sure, but has anyone ever devised a Mario species diversons, like Phylums and Kingdoms? There are so many creatures, I am sure it is possible.

Hmm.. "Mushroom Person".. "Homo-erectus" (or something like that) was the name for the first creatures resemlbing human beings, so "Homo-*whatever the root word is for mushroom*" could be the name for the Mushroom People.

No, Toad was correct, it was Homo erectus.

Post by: Toad on May 27, 2007, 04:44:16 PM: Mycologists are people who study mushrooms, I believe, so if somebody were a mushroom person, then wouldn't Homo-Mycolo work?

Post by: Chupperson Weird on May 27, 2007, 11:56:06 PM: That totally makes no sense. Especially because you chopped off the first half of the prefix "-logist."

Post by: MEGAß¥TE on May 28, 2007, 12:05:06 AM: Hmm, where's Suffix?
Title: Re: Mario species...
Post by: Chupperson Weird on May 28, 2007, 12:43:05 AM: I told you it made no sense!
Anyway.
I'm asleep.
Yes, I meant suffix. Good night, now.

Post by: BP on May 28, 2007, 03:16:25 AM: It's quite simple, really; just make stuff up!
Homo Sapien, ex. Mario, Princess Peach. goes without saying.
Koopus Troopus, ex. Kooper, Koops
Koopus Paratroopus, ex. Parakarry
Koopus Monstrous, Bowser
Yoshus Awesomus, Yoshi
Shyus Guyus
Recurricus Unwantus: Petey Piranha
Charactus Non-canonicus, Plum

Post by: Chupperson Weird on May 28, 2007, 10:55:26 AM: "sapiens" is not plural. "sapien" does not exist.
And uh, yeah making everything second declension male or fourth declension male/female is pretty lame.

Post by: Mega 2 on June 08, 2007, 03:12:15 PM: A few years ago I tried cataloging all the Mario "species" and putting them into groups. I had to give up because 1. I went to college and didn't have much spare time, 2. there were too many, 3. the catalog covered games I didn't have so I was depending on second hand sources of sometimes questionable accuracy.

If this is ever done it will require several people working together, all with more patience and devotion than I have.
