- In Super Mario RPG, the Chancellor exclaims that he nearly dropped his spores when he heard the crash of Exor into Bowser's Keep. It may have been a joke, but nevertheless, it is what he said. Note that Ted Woolsey, a translator known for spicing up dry Japanese dialogue in Square's SNES RPGs, worked on this game. Therefore, it could have been an invented line. | - In Super Mario RPG, the Chancellor exclaims that he nearly dropped his spores when he heard the crash of Exor into Bowser's Keep.

The original player's guide was directly translated and localized from the Japanese version, and included the original Japanese story art (not unlike those you would see in NES games such as Zelda, Metroid, or Kid Icarus). The pictures show a game interpretation of the Mushroom King and Queen for the only time (perhaps they have died?), wearing caps. Also, Princess Peach, wearing a very different dress, is also shown with a royal cap! This shows that either they are detachable, or they are simply wardrobe. Also note that while Peach is technically human, her apparent Grandmother is a Toad and has a cap. Finally, some Toads have hair underneath their cap in the Paper Mario games. | The original player's guide was directly translated and localized from the Japanese version, and included the original Japanese story art (not unlike those you would see in NES games such as Zelda, Metroid, or Kid Icarus).
