TVK
TVK is a television news station that broadcasts in the Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario: Yoshi Island 3 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga. Both Yossy Helper Team and Baby Bowser use the newscasts to locate where to respectively go and strike. Announcer Kinopio has the roal of reporter, followed by a Toad cameraman.
In chapter 1, TVK makes a report about Baby Peach's birth/delivery.
In chapter 2, TVK makes a report about the Akai Pegasus' maiden voyage and how Baby Peach and the Mushroom King will board it.
In chapter 3, TVK tries to make a report about the Q-Peach, but Baby Peach takes the mic to talk about her family vacation on the cruise ship.
In chapter 4, TVK reports on flaming oil rigs and then observes the Yossy Helper Team as they extinguish the fire. TVK then reports two stories: one about a fake fire accident involving Baby Peach and the other about her kidnapping. Announcer Kinopio concludes the manga by praising the bravery of the Yossy Helper Team, inadvertently slipping into baby talk.
