Title: "That last name"
Post by: Kuromatsu on March 04, 2006, 08:49:39 AM
Which last name best suits mario? I posted this because Mario Mario is kinda a weird name. Who's last name has the same word as the first name?

i thought I'd post something since I feel sorry for the guy because no one has posted anything. Anyways I like his name as it is. That is original and should be left the way it is. Changing Mario's last name would be like changing the formula for coke. ^-^

Just because no one has posted anything doesn't mean we hate him.

I like Mario Mario. I wish I could figure out Wario's last name, though.
Title: Re: "That last name"
Post by: Sapphira on March 04, 2006, 12:04:31 PM
I say he HAS no last name (like Eddie and Lou on the Simpsons XD), because "Mario" as his last name sounds ridiculous, regardless of it being true or not. I would've voted "NO last name," but that wasn't an option.

Mario Mario. Because someone has a strange last name doesn't change his last name. I'd assume Wario's last name is also Mario. Wario Mario. That's kind of fun to say.

I know someone from my middle school named Mohammed Mohammed. No, I don't know if I spelled it right.

For the person who posted out of pity, keep in mind that the thread was made at 9:30 AM (U.S. Eastern time) on a Saturday. Not many people are going to be awake at that time to reply, especially since it is even eariler in other parts of the country.

I read somewhere that Wario and Mario were cousins, meaning Wario could have a number of different last names, but more than likely it was "Wario Wario", but I'm going to have to start thinking about that a little more, but anyways I really don't mind Mario's name being "Mario Mario".

Mohammad is spelled Muhammad. I personally think Mario Mario suits him. It something about him that just is a double Mario thing as strange as it may seem.

If it was differnt from Mario Mario they wouldn't be called the Mario Bros. now would they?

Yes, but but take my name "Mason" it wouldn't be right for me to be called a Mason bro. because you can only use last names at the end of call someone like that, you can't call me Brother Mason, but you can use my last name.

Well, I don't know. The "Mario Bros." is a big indication that Mario is Mario's last name. I always refer to Wario and Waluigi as the "Wario Bros.," meaning Wario is Wario Wario.

Post by: bobman37 on March 04, 2006, 04:37:27 PM
I think it's best as Mario Mario because of the deal in the SMB movie:

"What's your name?"
"Mario."
"Last name?"
"Mario."
"What's your full name?"
"Mario Mario."

"OK, what's your name?"
"Luigi."
"Let me guess. Luigi Luigi?"
"No! Luigi Mario!"

Or something like that.

Best as it is.  It's not common for a person's surname to be identical to his/her first name, but I think "Mario Mario" fits this Italian plumber.

"Mario Miyamoto" WTD? I understand that it's after the creator, but why would an Italian have a Japanese surname?

Also, think of the humor opportunities with an Austin Powers or James Bond parody with Mario starring as Austin or Bond!
"Name's-a Mario.  Mario Mario."

"Let me guess, Luigi Luigi?"
"No.  Luigi Mario."
LOL  I need to see that part, no matter how bad the movie is!
Title: Re: "That last name"
Post by: Lizard Dude on March 04, 2006, 09:57:44 PM
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario, has stated that Mario's surname is indeed Mario. Sapphira is wrong (beauty notwithstanding).
Title: Re: "That last name"
Post by: Vidgmchtr on March 04, 2006, 09:58:20 PM
Mario Mario. Shigeru Miyamoto even said that he agrees with that, and who knows more about Mario than the guy who created him?

Notice the question doesn't ask what is his last name.

"Mario" as his last name sounds ridiculous, regardless of it being true or not.

I just love how everyone keeps misinterpreting what I say and then goes against me, when they don't even correctly perceive what I say. Jeez.

Post by: Markio on March 05, 2006, 05:24:31 PM
Sapphira ought to go back to her original posts and make them bold, and then quote what she wrote with the bold there first.

I like him without a last name.  Giving him a full name is too specific, and hints at a past instead of the present.  To be honest, I prefer less information.  Like, if you were being held captive by some giant spiky turtle with fire breath, and you're suddenly wisked out of that prison by some random italian plumber, and you're running through the foliage with hundreds of mutant mushrooms and hammer-wielding terrapins in pursuit, would you really stop to ask, "Oh, before you save my life, could you tell me about yourself, it seems so much more important?"  Why do you think Peach doesn't marry Mario at the end of the game?  Because they've only seen each other for a few seconds.  A kiss seems like a very generous thing to give him.  If they're making "Mario Parties" and "Mario Golves", they might as well make a "Mario Acquaintance" for the people that think it's so improtant to know every little detail about some fictional character solely placed in the game so the player can has something legible to move around.

And I don't really mean all this, but I do prefer no last name.  It ruins the suspense, that's all.

Mohammad is spelled Muhammad.

As an Arab, let me inform you that it does not matter how you spell an Arabic/Islamic name with the Latin alphabets, as long as you get the pronounciation right!

Anyways, as for what I believe best suits Mario as his surname, in my opinion, I think I'd go with the official: Mario!
Seriously, fictional characters seem a lot more elaborate when they own a surname! It's make them seem so great!

However, as much as that is my opinion, I'll always go calling the Mushroom Kingdom hero as none other than Super Mario!!

stairmaster109: If you are truly not fairemaster, then I'm sorry. You've come at a bad time. A member named fairemaster was banned just before you came. Granted, there are several similarities between you and fairemaster, but that won't prove that you and him are the same person. This no longer applies. See below.

Ummm, by not having a last name, it helps to sheild wheter or not he is Mushroom or Human. Which is important because it adds depth to the plot and creates mysteries surrounding the Bros. orgins and their relations with Wario and Waluigi. And it's shorter to write.

No it wouldn't!  It would be Mario Mario-- oh, I guess you're right.

I just think of him as plain old Mario.  Giving him a last name doesn't seem to be important in any of the games.  And here's something no one said!  How do you like the sound of "Peach Mario"?  Or "Mrs. Mario Mario"?  No wonder they've never gotten married yet!  If I were her, I'd keep my own last name.  And is his name ever established as "Mario Mario" in any of the games?  I know they did it in the movie, but what about one of the games?

Well, what if they got married and did it the other way around. Mario could be Prince Mario Toadstool.
That pwns. You have to admit it.

He wouldn't be Prince Mario. He'd be King Mario and Peach would be queen. Queen Peach Mario... Weird. King Mario Toadstool doesn't sound much better in my opinion...

Peach would keep her maiden name for special royal purposes, but she'd still be a Mario.
