“Hah, and good thing that Tanooki Suit doesn't give you fleas, huh, Luigi?”
—Mario, in a totally real episode of TAoSMB3
Welcome, welcome, one and all, to Soshi The Yoshi's presence on the wonderful wiki of Mario! I know quite a bit about everybody’s favorite platforming hero who made his start in the 1980s, and I figured I’d share my knowledge with other fellow fanatics of Mario and its extended universe. I specialize in media related to the 80's and 90's eras of Super Mario as well as the three cartoons produced by DIC Entertainment.
Forget the Product™, Roy and his siblings' triumphant and imaginative return after a half-decade long absence was the TRUE main event of the 40th anniversary!
Much like the rest of the species, I am a native habitant of Dinosaur Land. I do lack the ability to spray orange juice, but that is besides the point. I am a big fan of a lot of media, whether it be video games, television, or even silly drawings, both old and new.
I've been a fan of the Super Mario franchise for nearly my entire life. My first experiences with it were playing games such as New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64 DS, and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, while also watching an old DVD of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! when I was around four years old.
Since then, I was hooked on the brothers, their little reptile friend Yoshi, and recently, Bowser and his seven children; collecting many games and media related to the Super Mario series, and even writing my own stories based on the older cartoon adaptations (notably, a fan-made The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 script titled "Down the Drain").
Volume #13 (Major shoutouts to Nintendo Power for showing a couple of speedrun tricks in this one!)
Volume #28 (My favorite Nintendo Power volume!)
Volume #39 (The first volume I've ever read!)
Volume #41 (Lakitu lies in this one about jumping in Super Mario Kart.)
Volume #52 (I could not stomach Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels without this...)
Volume #58 (Dragon Wario is the best Wario.)
Volume #74 ("It stinks!" -The Critic)
Volume #77 (Yoshi's Island and The Mask II? What's not to love?)
Volume #100 (I love celebrating an old milestone! Also, they mistook Majesco for Namco when talking Pac-Man.)
Volume #104 (The "Bowser for Dinner" print ad was funny, but I have to dock points for Banjo's low placement in their Diddy Kong Racing character ranking.)
Advance Volume #4 (The more Super Mario World, the better.)
Little Yoshi, from the Japanese commercials and Tetris Attack, is Yoshi's adopted little brother. He cannot speak, not even in the native Yoshi language.
Much like their Super Mario-kun incarnations, Tryclyde's heads have different personalities, but the "nerd" head is replaced with a straight man leading head.
Beneath his mean personality and incredible strength, Roy Koopa is just a big old softie trying his hardest to earn affection from his King Dad.
Bully Koopa, meanwhile, hates how his Dad never pays any attention to him compared to his "stupid siblings"; this only fuels his dream to usurp King Koopa even more.
Larry Koopa can pull any item out from his shell, akin to Inky from Hanna-Barbera's Pac-Man cartoon.
Lemmy Koopa's favorite television show is Disney's Bonkers.
Bowser and his brother have a similar relationship as Hopper and Molt from A Bug's Life, respectively.
Blargg has a stereotypical sophisticated gentleman personality, but always introduces himself with a loud roar.
Croco values his tail more than his own henchmen. He regularly gets pedicures for it at a tail salon.
The Crystal Coconut is also a refreshing cold beverage outside of being the power source of Donkey Kong Island.
This is probably what Wario's mother looks like.
R.O.B. was offended by a recent "Product"; he thought the Zootopia sloth gag applied to him was a harmful stereotype.
Last Hurrah of Miscellaneous Junk
Always remember, we could not have had Super Mario Bros. without our beloved Pac-Man's colorful town.
This will be Donkey Kong in 2003.
In MY Christian Minecraft server?!
The "Pac-Man was originally called PuckMan" of Mario. (Andrew Sabiston voicing both Yoshi and Diddy Kong is another contender.)
Looks like somebody watched the Frog on The WB.
The better timeline we unfortunately missed out on... If only King Dad never went to that island.
Leaked image of Roy Koopa's birthday party.
Roy Orbisoni Mahoney will always be the true king of Music Land.
It's kind of sad how the best Captain N character... is a sentient Game Boy.
The lady's clog monster was so horrific, she left the cartoon and moved to Kastle Koopa.
The graffiti here implies that the Koopalings actually have a mother.
Deserved for her insufferable cartoon incarnation AND for hogging all of the screen time, leaving poor Bully to starve.
Adding to the last one... we lost this fun premise for five trillion stories about the aforementioned leech.
So, in summary... Bully Koopa is completely in the right for calling his sister PART OF THE GARBAGE!
Every day is an Oogtar Day.
They beat a specific mediocre plushtuber to the punch.
