Concept Art of Rudy
On this page of the Japanese Nintendo site, small concept art of Rudy the Clown is available: Click! There his hands are connected with arms to his body, instead of floating around like in the final game. Just wanted to mention that, if somebody wants to work on this rather orphaned article and might find the concept art useful. --Grandy02 14:03, 26 April 2008 (EDT)
Name
He's not called "Rudy the Clown" in Dr. Mario 64. He's just "Rudy". Yet this page has been named "Rudy the Clown" since it was created back in 2005. This leads me to think whoever localized Fortune Street actually got the name off this wiki. Vent (talk) 13:42, 24 February 2016 (EST)
- Huh, interesting. It'd be fun if it's true: now we just gotta mistakenly rename "Junior (II)" to Pink Donkey Kong Jr. and hope that someone official copies that too so we can leave it there. Anyway, I updated the page to say that DM64 only calls him Rudy, with refs. - Walkazo 15:20, 24 February 2016 (EST)

As mentioned above on this talk page, the character is unnamed in his debut appearance, and was not named until Dr. Mario 64 which called him "Rudy". A decade later, the character was mentioned in Fortune Street as "Rudy the Clown". (This wiki's use of "Rudy the Clown" predates the localization of Fortune Street, so this is a possible case of citogenesis.) Because Fortune Street was localized by a party who may have been unaware that "the Clown" was not part of the character's name, I feel it reasonable to think we'd essentially be citing ourselves for it.
