Going through this article, there's the part in [[Wart#Other appearances, cameos, and references|Other appearances, cameos, and references]] that notes that "[[nookipedia:Wart Jr.|Wart Jr.]] [is] ... a possible nod to [[Wart]] in name and species.". But is this true or worth mentioning? Wart is a term to describe the bumps of a toad or a frog, and while Wart Jr. would be a nod to Wart's name, his original Japanese name, サム (Sam), is not even close to Wart's Japanese name (マムー, Mamu). There's very little correlations to the name of Wart and [[nookipedia:Wart Jr.|Wart Jr.]]. {{User:PanchamBro/sig}} 22:50, October 2, 2021 (EDT)

:I have to agree on this. It's way too much of coincidence if I am being honest. Also note the color and design. --[[User:KingGeoshiKoopshi64|KingGeoshiKoopshi64]] ([[User talk:KingGeoshiKoopshi64|talk]]) 00:58, October 3, 2021 (EDT)

:::::::"'''And again, how do we know it's a reference to ''this'' Wart if being toadish is where the similarities end?'''" You may have a point. I myself don't know if it was supposed to be a reference to "this" wart, or just a frog's skin in general. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 14:54, October 4, 2021 (EDT)

== Charles Martinet ==
Is there any official confirmation he (and by extension the other bosses) were voiced by Charles himself? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 12:16, November 10, 2023 (EST)
: Yes, there is an archived interview on this page that has Charles Martinet confirming he was the male bosses in Advance. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 10:58, April 11, 2024 (EDT)
== Calling him "Mamu" in YK:DDP ==
{{talk}}
Considering the recent [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/66#Stop referring to Bowser as "King Koopa" in Japanese media|proposal]] to stop referring to Bowser as "Koopa" in Japan-only media, I believe it would be consistent with that to refer to him as "Wart" for that section. The ''Link's Awakening'' section would still use "Mamu" as he is called that in the English localization of that game. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:36, April 11, 2024 (EDT)
:It ''would'' be consistent, but...the difference is that "Koopa" has several definitions and that's where the confusion stems. Also, as that proposal posits, "King" Koopa is ''technically'' off <small><small>(even though I think that's like saying "King" Dedede is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG2xrJnpgkQ&t=1789s wrong] and, [https://themushroomkingdom.net/smrpg_j-e.shtml#intro well]...but I digress)</small></small>. Mamu is an acceptable English alternative that matches a more direct romanization of his Japanese name, and there's no "Koopa"-esque translation baggage, so it makes sense to use it for a Japanese-only appearance. But of course, someone can argue, "tsk, it's not ''Mamu'', it's ''Mam<u>ū</u>''" and then we'd be back to square one. I '''suppose''' if the idea is to make things more interchangeable and consistent between ''Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' coverage, then sure, that angle works.
