== Original characters third-party categorization ==


Square Enix owns pretty much every original character created for ''Super Mario RPG'' (including Geno and Mallow), so should we have them categorized under "Third-party characters" in their articles? And what about the original characters that belong to a first-party Nintendo species like Toadofsky, Boshi, etc.?

:To me, it doesn't quite feel right to be categorizing Geno, Mallow, and their ilk under the same category as [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]]. The ''Super Mario RPG'' characters may be owned by Square Enix, but they were still created for the ''Super Mario'' franchise and have never appeared outside of ''Super Mario''-related media ([https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Geno other than an unsanctioned cameo]).

::Nevertheless, Nintendo would have to have permission from Square Enix to use the original ''Super Mario RPG'' characters in future ''Mario'' titles, thus explaining Geno's cameo in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.
