 I notice [[media:SMP_page_62_excerpt.png|here]] that Cheep Chomp is described as 「巨大なプクプク」, which is remarkably similar to the Japanese name of Boss Bass. Are there any other profiles you know of that describe Cheep Chomp as a giant-sized Cheep Cheep? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 02:40, September 20, 2019 (EDT)
+:Not that I know and own. I don't own the Nintendo Official Guidebooks of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, and among the Mario character books that might contain Cheep Chomp, I only know and own the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'', the ''Super Mario Pia'' and the ''[https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/product/321808000468/ Mario no Character dai Shūgō Zukan]'', the latter of which doesn't list Cheep Chomps, only the small Cheep Cheep variants, i.e. the Eep Cheep and the Spiny Cheep Cheep.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:20, September 27, 2019 (EDT)
+== Fire, Sumo! ==
+Recently, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' included an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdhzMRy7i_o&t=2h7m32s explanation] for Sumo Bro's Japanese name, K.K. - it stands for 「カミナリきょうだい」 (''Kaminari Kyōdai'', Lightning Brothers). I was wondering if you're aware of this being hinted at in any profiles since, to my knowledge, this is entirely new information. I'm also curious if any direct connection with Hammer Bro was brought up at any point (we do know of one source suggesting a similarity to Sledge Bro mentioned [[Talk:Sumo Bro|here]]). To a lesser extent, I'm also curious about this with Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother, but not as much since it's still listed right after Hammer Bro in the ''Super Princess Peach'' gallery and has much more in common with Hammer Bro. Part of me thinks they were always supposed to be "Bros" but had the name dropped after the Hammer and Sledge Bros were removed from ''Super Mario World''.

+:Since you asked in this section, I think you’re more interested in the current sources. The ''Super Mario Pia'' doesn’t mention this connection:
+:しこを踏む横綱姿のカメ。『NewスーパーマリオブラザーズU』で22年ぶりに復活した。
+:登場作品 SMW, NSMU
+:The two older books I have, the ''Super Mario Bros. Daizukan'' and the ''Super Mario Zen Hyakka'', don’t seem to add much:
+:DAIZUKAN
+:動きはのんびりしているが、カメ相撲の横綱。「ドスコーイッ！」としこをふむと、かみなりがおちて地面がほのおの海になる。すり足をしているときに、足もとがすきだらけになるのが弱点だ。
+:ZEN HYAKKA
+:カメー族の横綱。ブロックの上に乗り、すり足で左右に移動する。こいつが相撲のシコを踏んだら要注意。稲妻が発生し、地面に落ちて広範囲に炎の柱が立つのだ。
+:The ''Mario no Character Daishugo Zukan'' from Kadokawa and GZ Brain, the small but most recent encyclopedia, only groups the four Bros. seen in ''Mario Kart Tour'' together, Sledge Bros. and Sumo Bros. aren’t in the book.
+:In none of the recent books aside from the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' the Amazing Flyin’ Hammer Bros. are listed. The two older books reconfirm the connection with the Hammer Bros., in the Daizukan they are actually mentioned in the bio of the Hammer Bros.:
+:DAIZUKAN (Hammer Bro bio)
+:代表的なブロス科の戦士。ハンマー（とんかち）をガンガンなげつけてくる凶悪なカメ。2ひきで1組になり、攻撃をいどんでくることが多く、注意が必要だ。 『ワールド』にだけ登場する、空とぶ羽根のはえたブロックにのった《アッパレ》というなかまもいる。
+:ZEN HYAKKA
+:ハンマーブロスの新しい仲間。空中を左右に往復する。羽根の生えたブロックの上に乗っている。ブロックの上から、つぎつぎとハンマーを投げ落としてくる、なかなかの強敵だ。
+:While it’s likely that Sumo Bros. and Amazing Flyin’ Hammer Bros. were meant to replace Sledge Bros. and Hammer Bros. respectively, the books mainly acknowledge the latter connection, with the former only vaguely hinted in the Daijiten (and even then they seemed to rather refer to Sumo Bros. being the heaviest along with Sledge Bros.).—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 00:09, August 4, 2020 (EDT)
+== Bonneter biologist ==
+Hello, Mister Wu. I raised an issue [[Talk:Bonneter biologist|here]] about the validity of the "Bonneter biologist" as a unique individual in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' based on text from page 67 of the English translation of ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''. If you have the time, I was wondering if you'd be willing to present and translate the original Japanese text from this page to see if implies the same thing. I understand that nouns are not pluralized in Japanese, so this may be an error on the part of the English translators. (In case the pages are not 1-to-1 between versions, this text would be in the bottom right corner of the page that covers the design of the Bonneters, underneath a screenshot of a Captured Uproot and a male Bonneter in Steam Gardens.) -- [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:50, December 25, 2020 (EST)
