Oh yeah starting with Die is also a pronunciation I've heard at times, but never used.

 

[Carissa]

might be my british accent

 

[Lily]

Die-men-she-o, similar to the word Dimension, just with the 'shun' at the end replaced with a 'she-o'

 

[Magolor]

Di-men-chee-o.

I feel like Mario himself would sometimes too.

Mario says his own name a lot and I have never heard him pronounce as "may ree oh". It's always "Marr ree yo" and it sometimes sounds like "Mah Dee Oh". I hear some people pronounce the first syllable different but to me, like "ah". First syllable to me rhymes with car, bar, tar. Barrio and Mario rhymes.

i always thought it was "mah-ree-yo" with the first syllabyle being like "Marry" not "Marble"

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Only English really pronounces it like "mary" (like why is "Marion" "mare-yan"?). Not Italian. Not French. Not Spanish. Even the Japanese katakana has "ma" for a syllable. There's a character in Super Mario Maker who's named after that "bastardized" pronunciation.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Some people say Worio and that just sounds incorrect in every way.

I pronounce Wario like in war. Rhymes with fore.

Funny thing is Daisy in Mario Strikers Charged pronounces it like that too.

 

[Carissa]

well i say waaa-reee-oh

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I've heard of Wario stress variation too. For me, the stress is in the first syllable of the word. WAR-ee-oh

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

for me, the A is definitely an "aaah", not an "oh".

That's how Wario says his own name, personally i think if he himself says it that way it must be right.

 

[Princess Viola]

I don't even stress on any specific syllable when I say Wario TBH. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just say Wa-Ri-O, although the 'r' sound is more of a Spanish R than an English one (not the trilled R, the one that some English speakers say sounds like a 'd' sound).

Same actually applies to how I say Mario, too.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

This conversation has just gotten me aggressively arguing with myself in Mario's and Wario's voices seeing who can shout their name the loudest. and now i wanna make an animation of that lol

 

[Xiahou Dun]

"WAHDIO SEASON!"

"MAHDIO SEASON!"

 

[Magolor]

OK, here's a biggie:
Gerudo.
I say Juh-roo-dow, but I've also heard Guh-roo-dow.

 

[Princess Viola]

I mean, per BOTW, it's officially ge-roo-do, which (roughly) matches up with the pronunciation given by how Gerudo is written in Japanese. (ゲルド, which is romanised as 'gerudo', if it was meant to be pronounced with a 'J' sound, it'd be ジェルド/jerudo in kana)

Incidentally, ge-roo-do is how I've always said it.

 

[Power Flotzo]

I currently pronounce it with a hard G, though for a few months (after I saw the name in the demo for SSB3DS) I pronounced it with a soft G.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

How do you pronounce Prince Pikante's name? Is it like "piquant"? Or like the Spanish "picante" (as the wiki says)? In my head I always tend to read it as "pike-uhnt" (like the fish) lol

 

[Cloudwalker]

I always pronounced it "pih-kahnt-ey"

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Pee Kahn Teh, like caliente

 

[Marioro]

I pronounce "Mario" with a soft r instead of a rolling one.

 

[Fizzle]

I always pronounced them how I thought they were normally said, like:
Lack-it-ooh
Kam-ek

But then the trailers come along and say it completely differently:
Lah-ki-too
Kah-mek

I still say it the first way, but I'm willing to change it.
