I find it amusing that the baby bros eyes also serve as pupils.

Like most people here I don't mind their existence, and I do feel Baby Mario and Luigi made the Yoshi's Island series and Partners in Time more interesting, but some of them are just like why? Especially Baby Rosalina, though there's not much left to say about her. Just if they really wanted yet another baby, I would have definitely preffered them bringing Baby Wario or DK back over making another completely pointless variant.

Though that being said, I actually kinda wonder what a Baby Waluigi would look like.

With that, we got our results:
  1. I don't mind baby characters. Votes: 8 (42.1%)
  2. There are certain baby characters that I am OK with, but not others. Votes: 8 (42.1%)
  3. The addition of younger versions of Mario characters is very much welcomed. Votes: 2 (10.5%)
  4. I didn't really enjoy them but I can live with it. Votes: 1 (5.3%)
  5. These additions felt extraneous and unnecessary. Votes: 0 (0.0%)

There is a split between two groups who either don't mind the existence of baby characters and another who have certain biases against certain babies, with Baby Rosalina being the most disliked. At the very least, nobody objects to babies, probably because Yoshi's Island handled it quite well that it affected the opinions of many, in addition to how well the baby characters are handled in the various Mario spin-offs.

The next poll will be a shorter one, and it's about the choices of certain names. The US used certain names for a couple of characters for a time but the usage of names became more unified as time goes on, but perhaps a few people might still prefer the older names. If you know a little bit of Mario history, you might know which characters it's being referred to. In the meantime, I will elaborate when the poll comes up.

Thank you for reading.

EDIT: The poll is up! The names are based on what you prefer, even if the names are already established to be Peach and Bowser respectively. This is in essence similar to the Robotnik and Eggman name debate, where some fans preferred the former even though the latter is more widely-used in Sega.

For simply calling them by their names, I'm fond of Peach and Bowser, though, that's partially because I appreciate having full, formal names to call them by. Being able to say Princess Peach Toadstool, of the Mushroom Kingdom or King Bowser Koopa, of the Koopa Kingdom when you want to use those full names and titles for formality or emphasis is a fun option to have.
 
I see no reason to be stubborn and use the old, outdated names for these characters when they have their modern, more recognisable names that have been used for far longer now.
 
ill just generally refer to characters how the wiki itself does cause honestly most of my info on the mario series comes from there. cant think of any examples but ya!
