god what are these sentences

i wish i could help but honestly i'm not confident enough in my Japanese to translate them properly

i'm surprised mariofact hasn't picked up on them yet
 
The user who added these has been warned for (among the other things) the horrible quality of his translations, but anyone versed in Japanese is strongly encouraged to revise this set of page.

If the translator can't get the big things right, what makes you think he can't get the little things right either?

Anyway, thanks for all of that! Much appreciated! I didn't know we're going to get help so quickly. :mario:

hey its probably my fault for not phrasing it clearly enough to begin with, but its

"rather than me playing with you, the boos will play with you"

not

"rather than the boos playing with me, the boos will play with you"

i dont want to just put it back to something else unclear, so i thought i should ask if anyone else knows how to phrase it clearly and succinctly
 
I'd rephrase the entire thing to something like "I won't play with you, the Boos will." But that's my own thing, and I don't know if it's going out of the integrity of the translation.
 
"The Boos will kindly play with you plenty in my stead!" (also taking into account the tepperi (plenty) and kureru (the Boos are doing him a favour)) - afaik, anyway: at work without my dictionaries or a computer that can load Japanese text atm...

And yeah:

Seconded. It would've taken me quite a while to check all those myself (curse my tiny vocabulary!).

after doing this with access to the actual cards i noticed that the kansai dialect is all coming from roy. kind of weird that out of seven siblings, one of them speaks in a completely different accent. maybe this is why they stopped being bowsers kids

also i dont really understand the romanisation rules on the wiki but im also not convinced these even really need to be romanised. someone who wants to know how to romanise はしったら is probably not going to be checking http://www.mariowiki.com/T%C4%81-kun_ni_Ki_o_Tsukero for the answer

whoever named these levels sure did like the word kakenukeru. three different levels involve kakenuketeru from somewhere

Maybe he's adopted Nintendo loooves wedging Kansai-ben everywhere, plus more obscure dialogues too. It's become the bane of my existence.

It's nice for users who might wanna know what the stuff sounds like (for fun) despite being unable to read kana and kanji - extra info never hurt anyone.

wow, such popularity. im scare

do you think that googlegrenade guy is going to blow up now? from what i can tell he seems to be a bit of a self-absorbed lunatic

also i have trouble with the kansai dialect too. i'm still wondering what the hell "n chara ka" is (i assume it's a kansai thing since roy said it)

Well, considering that only "if u sad, no one'll help u", you were probably not sad enough and thus help came swiftly.

Then we'll just block him. Again.

Pretty sure the extra "n" is being added to "nai" to make it sound casual (or something like that - can't quite remember that lesson from two years ago, just a song I wrote about going to the library which ended in "doushite ikitakunain desu ka?"), and "chara" could be a conjugation of "chau", the Kansai-ben version of "chigau".
