English/Japanese Words

In any title, the Japanese and English words should not be mixed in the same title or title phrase. --PJ Pete

Name

Though, "hime" means "princess", but is a native Japanese word, in the Nintendo video games, Princess Peach's name in Japanese is officially "Purinsesu Piichi", Princess Daisy's is "Purinsesu Deiji", and Princess Zelda's is "Purinsesu Zeruda". Outside the video games, Princess Peach has been referred to as "Piichi-hime" in Sūpā Mario Burazāzu.: Pīchi-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen, and also for the Super Mario Kart radio controlled kart of her that was only released in Japan, because of the Japanese characters written on the box. --PJ Pete

But I'm pretty sure that in Super Smash Bros. Melee, if you were to select the Japanese language, the crowd can chant Peach as "Piichi-hime" instead of "Purinsesu Piichi". You can see that in the Sound Test. 208.101.130.232 13:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why no english release?

edit

Why did America not make an english version of this anime and made the kids watch the American crap they call mario bros? I wouldn't mind if they had to edit it for the safety of children (or whatever the reason is), but why did it not get an english release? I want to know!75.45.97.194

Influence on the games.

edit

I've seen the whole anime on YouTube. Anyone notice some things that eventually got adapted into the games? It's not the first time the games borrowed something, since Yoshi's language came from the Super Mario Adventures comic, and the Noko Bros. coming directly from a Japanese comic called Super Mario-kun. Ten most important things stuck out in particular - first is that Luigi is, for the first time, different than Mario outside of clothing. Second, at one point, the two Kuribous talk to the Mario Bros. from a giant boot, which seems like a predecessor to Kuribo's Shoe in SMB3. In fact, my idea is that this is the reason Kuribo's Shoe was only in one level - it may have been intended as a small throwback rather than a complete power-up. Third, Mario rides Jugem's Cloud, which he would do in SMB3 (as an item to fly over a level) and SMW. Fourth, this seems to be the first time we see Mario punch and kick. Fifth, Mario dealt with King Koopa like he would in Super Mario 64 by swinging his tail in a circle and tossing him (and speaking of SM64 similarities, Peach kisses Mario on the nose). Sixth, we see Luigi is addicted to money. It may have been overdone in the anime, but it does seem like a parallel to Luigi's coin gambling in the games (most easily seen in SM64DS and NSMB). Seventh, this is the first time King Koopa was designed with red hair - previous artworks depicted him with orange hair. Eighth, the Killer Cannons, though they appear very briefly, resemble their appearances in later games like Super Mario RPG and the Paper Mario games. Ninth, Luigi is known for digging with his shovel in this anime movie. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Luigi had a "mole" move where he would burrow underground after being hit with Mario's hammer. Lastly, though this is probably the least intentional, the two Kuribou characters remind me of the red and blue ones from Mario Story. There might be more that I missed. 208.101.136.230 01:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
