Almost everything involving Booster in SMRPG was amusing. I find it weird how he didn't know how to eat a cake yet he knew perfectly well that you're supposed to tie your cord before bungee jumping.

Well, he has a tall tower, so he probably has bungee jumped off the top floor before..

"Aah! A party! We haven't had one of those. So, what is a party?"

"You drink punch and eat cake, I think!.."

"Drink punch? Eat cake? Sounds complicated. I don't know if I can muster the energy to do that."

When Toad said he can't fight Bowyer "because I left my bazooka at home, SHEESH!" (SMRPG)

What the...? I don't recall Toad saying that. You mean Mallow amirite?

The Chef · « **Reply #137 on:** March 12, 2007, 03:28:09 PM »

I think he meant to say Croco, right after you first meet Mallow.

Uhhh... doesn't the Toad guarding the exit of town say it after Croco runs out after you first meet Mallow?

Yes, and it wasn't the one actually called Toad in the game.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #140 on:** March 14, 2007, 02:57:22 AM »

But it is a Toad. That's why I said "the Toad" and not "Toad".

We prefer the term "mushroom retainers." It has such a nicer connotation.

For the record, it annoys me when people call Koopa Troopas "koopas", as that's the collective name of the race, not those particular individuals.

Not to mention offensive.

Oh, balderdash. "Koopa Troopa" sounds silly, and most people find that all Koopas are enemies, thus, in their mind they belong under one banner. Also, we call people in the army just that--people. Koopas, being a non-human race, can collectively be called Koopas, even if they aren't employed by Bowser.

Hmm... On further consideration, I became less confused by Glorb. Here is my final answer. Sure, they're called Koopa Troopas formally, but Koopas is not so truncated to the point where it has little meaning.

The Chef · « **Reply #145 on:** March 14, 2007, 06:31:02 PM »

But not all Koopas are enemies, and Hammer Bros., Boom Booms, Chargin' Chucks, and Magikoopas are Koopas, too. Therefore, the regular ones are called Koopa Troopas, and the ones with wings are called Paratroopas. Heck, in the games, the regular one is always referred to as a Koopa Troopa, and nothing else. That indicate anything?

Suffix · « **Reply #146 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:22:46 PM »

And yet, when one mentions only the word "Koopa," you envision the Koopa Troopa. This isn't something that requires a great deal of formality, usually!

Person, government man, president, murderer, old lady, you, I, this guy... You see where I'm getting at? When you say "person," you envision... a person.
This is something I hate, when people assume that they're going to offend someone else (made up or not) without first considering if they would be offended in the same position. Mario having an Italian accent is one example; someone once posted they thought that may be offensive to Italians in general. With an American accent, would he offend me? By no means. If he had the same accent you have, would you think anything of it? I highly doubt it.

DeadAwake · « **Reply #148 on:** March 15, 2007, 05:00:22 AM »

... so can we call them "koopas"?

The Chef · « **Reply #149 on:** March 15, 2007, 01:21:19 PM »

I only think they should be called Koopa Troopas because they're a specific type of Koopa, just like all the ones I mentioned above. "Koopa" is really a collective term.
