Square Enix owns pretty much every original character created for ''Super Mario RPG'' (including Geno and Mallow), so should we have them categorized under "Third-party characters" in their articles? And what about the original characters that belong to a first-party Nintendo species like Toadofsky (a Toad), Boshi (a Yoshi), etc.?

:To me, it doesn't quite feel right to be categorizing Geno, Mallow, and their ilk under the same category as [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]]. The ''Super Mario RPG'' characters may be owned by Square Enix, but they were still created for the ''Super Mario'' franchise and have never appeared outside of ''Super Mario''-related media ([https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Geno other than an unsanctioned cameo]).

::Nevertheless, Nintendo would still have to have permission from Square Enix to use the original ''Super Mario RPG'' characters in future ''Mario'' titles, thus explaining Geno's cameo in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.

::::What about the original characters for ''Diddy Kong Racing'' (Krunch, Timber, Pipsy, etc.)? Following Microsoft's acquisition of Rare in 2002, Nintendo retains ownership to the characters directly linked to the ''Donkey Kong'' series (such as Diddy Kong and Krunch), but the rest of the ''Diddy Kong Racing'' cast (aside from Banjo, Conker and Tiptup since the former two were included before they star in their own series and the latter appearing in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series) is now under Microsoft's ownership, which explains [https://www.mariowiki.com/Fangamer their appearances as pins released by Fangamer].
