Japanese or English[edit]
I actually thought that it is okay to use literal translations of names of places, items and (royal) titles. If it isn't, then we also had to move Wario's Bomb Shop to its German name "Warios Bombenladen", for example. --Grandy02 16:36, 22 December 2008 (EST)

- What needs to be moved to its Japanese name anyway is The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach (Super Mario Bros.: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!), since that's a movie title and the English title isn't official. And the names of the places and items, well, there should be consistency. --Grandy02 06:31, 23 December 2008 (EST)
