Sweet Lord, Crosseyed... Don't tell us you're going to begin posting SigurdHosenfeld's perversions of Nintendo characters here.

That's what Forum Games is for.

"Toad's lucky day."

The expression is pricelessly perfect.

I've always found that the Koopalings each have their own unique charm, while Bowser Jr. is nothing more than a dimwitted Bowser clonewhose character traits were clihed before he was even invented. Better yet, his very creation has thrown the Mario canon ever more out-of-wack

Nothing can beat SecondLife griefing -- for those who haven't heard of the game, it's essentially an aimless social interaction-based... thing. Apparently, the option to create objects with any function of one's choosing lets grifers, for instance, spawn an infinite number of giant male reproductive organs which can subsequently be programmed to follow other players around.

Amen to the idea of the Koopalings' triumphal return. However, I'd reason have the game spoiled with Bowser Jr.'s ugly visage. It's imaginable why Nintendo would culminate King Koopa's seven kids into one for posterity's sake, although most would agree that Larry, Lemmy, Iggy, Wendy, Roy, Morton Jr. and Ludwig would be far superior to that sham of a son named Bowser Jr. in A Super Mario World sequel.

I believe that a general concensus can be established regarding how little clout Mario's televised incarnations carry over the actual games' canonicity, amIrite?

Anyways, I agree with your thoughts on Toad's head, Chef -- it's quite reasonable that they're born/spawned/grown/whatever with removable caps and white diaper-pants. Of course, from this conclusion stems the question of why only particular female Mushroom People have "pigtails" growing from their caps. On that note, Iwas kidding about Mojo Nixon. We all know that Toad is black, after all.

So then. I believe it's high time that TMK dealt with one of the Mario series' most enduring questions:

Is Toad's mushroom-cap some sort of headgear, his hair, or or simply his upper cranial cavity?

Of course, whatever is the case, it applies for all Mushroom People/Toads. The first reference to the matter comes about with Toad removing his cap in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show(!) to use the thing as a parachute, briefly revealing his folically-challenged scalp underneath. The concept of Mushroom People concealing their actual hair beneath a hat is further supported by PM:TTYD's Zip Toad, shown below:



...Not to mention Mojo Nixon's precedent-setting depiction of the guy in Super Mario Bros.: The Movie:



Conversely, Toad's female counterpart, Toadette, is shown with pigtail-like mushroom bits protruding from the main section. Of course, it could be argued that she simply wears a feminine variety of the usual 'shroom hat, although it's doubtable. One must also consider that if such is the case, Toad has an afro and therefore is black. Yeah. To illustrate the "hair" theory...



Lastly, the spotted mass could simply be a vital article of a Mushroom Person's biological composure. I couldn't find any canonical basis for the idea, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

...True, but such is wishful thinking. I live in the capitol city of the wrold's second-largest nation, and our house only became eligible for any sort of broadband internet hardly a year ago.
