Super Mario Boards

My online academy: *gives me the 2024 student recognition award*

Me: "I don't know what I did to deserve this! I'm genuinely confused but I'll take it anyway!"

Things I just found out:
1. Miyamoto thinks of Mario characters as actors.
2. Mario and Peach's height difference is super inconsistent.
3. Elsa is kinda similar to Rosalina. (and Rosa had a track called "Rosalina's Ice World", which came out years before Elsa so I'm assuming Disney was inspired by Rosa or something like that.
4. American Greetings made both the Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake. Both franchises began with an appearance on a greeting card.
5. Robbie from Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is a male in the Spanish dub. (she is female in English but the weird thing is that her original design was kept (not that I would expect the producers to change her design to remove her eyelashes (female characters in UtM have eyelashes) but it's weird how instead of keeping her female they swapped her gender instead. (probably because of her name))

I once asked about if Mario actually stole the Princess Peach statue in the Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 article, because the context of the game (between manual and the ending) indicates that Mario isn't a thief.

One person responded that he in fact did, even though the game's actions didn't line up. Separately from that response, the person mentioned how it's all semantics (indicating that it is too insignificant to argue about). But I would say that for a wiki, putting in the accurate semantic is important because, wikis are meant to be factual so if we misrepresent a fact, then it would send the wrong message.

One recent thing that it happened was that DK's Stone Statue mentioned how the star purchase was like Faire Square, which should've imply that you can buy multiple stars, but can be assumed as maxing out to 5 stars only. But that's not the case. A Let's Play collab got it wrong from this article, which affected the players' decision making.

I can already imagine that if it weren't changed to more accurately portray the game's event, some guy will use the original sentence (of Mario stealing the statue like he's a thief) as proof that Mario's a villain.

Thank you for reading.
