Wanda is currently considered the same as the fairy character from ''Wario's Woods'', but a closer look at the [http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?StartRow=3&FuseAction=Element.View&egID=2573&etID=3&eID=2575 instruction] [http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/wwoods/snesmanual-02.JPG booklets] only refers to this character as "the Sprite" (meanwhile, the [http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/wwoods/down.html Japanese manual] uses the generic term for sprite or fairy, <span class="explain" title="ようせい">妖精</span>). There's no sign in the game that this Sprite character is supposed to be the same as Wanda from ''Mario & Wario'', and the sprites in both the NES and SNES releases look nothing like Wanda's original design. Therefore, it seems prudent to take the info from the ''Wario's Woods'' section away from Wanda's article. | Wanda is currently considered the same as the fairy character from ''Wario's Woods'', but a closer look at the [http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?StartRow=3&FuseAction=Element.View&egID=2573&etID=3&eID=2575 instruction] [http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/wwoods/snesmanual-02.JPG booklets] only refers to this character as "the Sprite" (meanwhile, the [http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/wwoods/down.html Japanese manual] uses the generic term for sprite or fairy, <span class="explain" title="ようせい">妖精</span>).

Is the Japanese name on its own really a reason for considering Wanda a Sprixie? I mean, it ''is'' the generic word for "fairy", it could be a coincedence. But then again, we have large pages for every appearance of [[Apple|generically]]-[[Milk|named]] [[Moon|objects]].

:@Binarystep - ''Mario & Wario'' itself wasn't released outside Japan, and ''Wario's Woods'' had a few sketchy translation choices (Black Bat from Pidgit?), so I don't think the main localization really had a serious shot at fairies/sprites/pixies in the ''Mario'' series until fairly recently. That said, I'd understand if calling Wanda and the Sprite from ''Wario's Woods'' a Sprixie is much too modern, which is why I left the second option open and encourage it if you still conclude that, looking at the original manuals, Wanda is not the same as the Sprite in ''Wario's Woods'' anyway. | :@Binarystep - ''Mario & Wario'' itself wasn't released outside Japan, and ''Wario's Woods'' had a few sketchy translation choices (Black Bat from Pidgit?), so I don't think the main localization really had a serious shot at fairies/sprites/pixies in the ''Mario'' series until fairly recently.
