All that is known about the X-Nauts stems from their failed plan to conquer the world using a 1,000-year-old demon known as the [[Shadow Queen]]. Grodus somehow came in contact with a trio of sisters known collectively as the [[Three Shadows]], who told him that the Shadow Queen could only be released from her prison if the seven [[Crystal Stars]] were collected, and a vessel provided for her disembodied soul to possess. The X-Nauts kidnapped [[Princess Peach]] to use as the vessel, and [[Mario]] was manipulated into gathering the Crystal Stars in an attempt to save her from her captors. | All that is known about the X-Nauts stems from their failed plan to conquer the world using a 1,000-year-old demon known as the [[Shadow Queen]].

While one would expect the organization's name to be pronounced "ecks-naughts", there is a reasonable amount of evidence that "cross-naughts" is more correct. In addition to the French and German translations both containing a derivative of the word "cross", the [[X-Yux]] is confirmed via [[Tattle]] as being pronounced "cross-yux". The name "cross-naughts" would also reference the game Naughts and Crosses (i.e. [[wikipedia:tic-tac-toe|tic-tac-toe]]). However, Goombella's Tattle for each X-Naut enemy uses "an" instead of "a" before the enemy's name, thus implying that the "ecks-naughts" pronunciation is an alternate way of saying it. | |||
