In SMB3 cartoons (translated to Spanish for Latin America)...
Bowser was called Koopa.
Toad was not called Toad... He was called Little Mushroom! yes! It´s true! It´s just one word in Spanish!
And... the best of all... the most confusing... the BIG one!
Princess Peach Toadstool was called... Princess Zelda!!
YES!
IT´S CRAZY!
p.s. : What´s the meaning of ´stool´? because toad is, you know, a frog (likely), but stool? It isn't in my Spanish-English dictionary! And, you know, Peach and Toad's surname is 'Toadstool'.
-
Stool means both "doo-doo" and a chair sort of thing. Toadstool is another word for mushroom, because toads supposedly use them as stools (not doo-doo). Get it?
-
THANKS! Thanks A LOT! Now I understand it all.
Talkin' 'bout names, I realized that peach is a fruit and it ALSO means... er... Well, a word wich I can translate, or exactly remember. Something about "being trapped". It´s like... you know, serves to atract an enemy.
Thanks!
p.s.: Is Goomba an English or a Japanese word?
Is "Para" like "fying" or somethin'? (you know, Koopa ParaTroopa, Para-Goomba).
-
Well, in the U.S "Peach" is also slang for something a little racier. . .
I think goomba is slang meaning the same as thug or goon, which makes sense when you think about it. Para (as in Para-troopa) is French (I think) for "flying" or "flight" or something similar. Like PARAchute.
-
Again, thanks.
Couldn't find 'goon' on the dictionary.
Oh, in my last posting, I put CAN meaning CAN'T.
---------
Well, let's go back to our bussines.
'Bob-ombs' were not translated, but it means 'dumb-bombs' in Spanish (and I think that´s pretty close to what they are).
Does 'bobo' have any sense in English? (that's Burns' teddy bear name in The Simpsons)
Do all 'Mario names' have any sense in English? (except, of course, for Kuribo's Shoe and Tanooki).
Thank you anyway.
Merry X-mas.

A lot of the Koopa names are unchanged Japanese, and some have meaning in English (or occasionally Latin), but most are just jibberish dreamt up by people at Nintendo of America that sounds neat phonetically but has no meaning in any language. Bob-omb is the American name for the Japanese Bomhei, and it's set up to be like the name Bob and the English word bomb.

Doesn't goomba mean Idiot or stupid- I mean,
there I.Q isn't even a .5!
-
My grandma is French and she said that Goomba means cute! Example: "Oh my little goomba!" That's what she told me...
-
Woo-hoo! My second topic!
Woo-hoo! I brought it back!
-
My italian friend calls stupid people goombas.
-
I think Peach came from Japan. I think there she was called Peach and here she was called Toadstool. When Yoshi's Safari came around, they decided to give Toadstool a first name and they chose Peach.

Wait...
Both Peach and Toad have the last name Toadstool...
...sooo....
That could (and likely does) mean they're related!?
*retch*
so, to recap:
Toad Toadstool is a Living Mushroom and not a frog, but yet is a toad.
Princess Peach Toadstool is a human (?) from the Mushroom Kingdom, also not a frog.
Mario Mario is an italian plumber living in Brooklyn, NY
Luigi Mario is Mario Mario's brother, also living in Brooklyn.
Yoshi has no last name. He is a dinosaur-like creature belonging to an intellegent or semi-intellegent race known as... Yoshis.
Goombas are goombas. Maybe some kind of deranged, psychotic mushroom or something.
King Bowser Koopa is a large turtle like creature who is larger than conventional Koopas, but has a spiked shell and has hair. Can speak english (and japanese too, I suppose), but when he plays sports, most of his speech is limited to a series or snarls and roars.
Koopa Troopas and ParaKoopas are a speecies of intellegent turtles that, after fifteen short years have learned to walk upright and build houses. Koopas typically have colored shells and no specific loyalties as a whole. Koopa names usually contain the letters 'Koo' or 'Ko' as the first 3 (or 2) letters; eg: Koover, Kooper, Koopa Koot, Kolorado.
Some Koopas train as either Ninjas, known as Ninjakoopas, in the art or magic and called Magikoopas, or as Bowser's elite guard called the Koopatrol.
Some Koops breeds grow to several times the normal koopa's size, in common are King Bowser Koopa and Kent C. Koopa. Their paratroopa equivalents go by two different names; Tub-O-Troopas (greeen shells) and Heavy Troopas (red shells).
*note* shell colors may have been reversed.
Is that correct?

I always thought Toad's last name was Hinopio. Just because he's a toadstool, he's in no way related to Peach.
It's not a matter of optimism or pessimism, it's a matter of common sense! (half empty or half full?)
-
And during the time of the cartoons, no one knew Bowser's first name.

Yeah. It was just Koopa.

Oh, come on, everyone knows Toad is Peach's brother.
Oh, and yet you didn't explain why Peach was called Zelda.
:)
I'm so happy this topic is finally going well!
-
I'm surprised Peach doesn't get more 'tall jokes'. You know like: "How's the weather up there?" or anything to do with having aircraft lodged in your ears.
I mean, she is the tallest good character in the game (most of the time). In pretty much every picture I've seen, she's significantly taller than Mario, slightly taller than Luigi, and taller than any Toad, and perhaps taller than several stacked on one another.
But what do I know?

Be sincerer, you just made up that Peach -thing so you can do youe 'tall jokes' ;).
Back to the topic, was I right? Is Toad Peach's brother?

With enough soap, you can blow nearly everything up.

No. Just a good friend.

I''ve decided to add a signature. Now...what should I type? Hmm...

BROTHER!! HAVEN'T YOU EVER SEEN SMB3 CARTOONS?!?
Oh, and Hi, Roy! Welcome to my topic! thanks for coming by!
;)!
-
But it's the cartoons! that doesn't mean it's true in the games! They would have said something in the games or manulas or magazins!
I''m the leader of the Koopa Bros.We''re hip and cool and uh... we like bacon
-
Get real you both. Brothers.
Why else would Toad be named Toadstool?
By the way, yet no one rxplained why Peach was called Zelda, and Toad, Mushroomie (Little Mushroom - you get the idea).
This happened in boyh SMB3 and SMB2 cartoons.
(the SMB2 ones were those with the actual people introducing - I think you've known that as 'Super Mario Bros. Super Show)
