Editing Talk:Wendy

Uh.... Wow. This article is just terrible. It's filled with about 90% useless things, and is all presented in a very confusing and incredibly disjointed way that barely makes sense.

While the facts are here, they are cobbled together and is incredibly bad.
I don't even have the time or patience to set about fixing this, but if someone could re-write this from scratch, it'd probably look a heck of a lot better than it does.

== Sprite ==

For the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga section, I thought that this [[Image:WendyMLSS.jpg]] was the correct image not this [[File:SPP Beta - Wendy Animation.gif]]. {{User|Lemmy Koopa Fan}} P.S. That's why I uploaded the image!

== Wendy '''O.''' Koopa == 
What does the O. stand for?  {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

:It is never revealed, but she's named after Wendy O. Williams, a famous musician whom she gets her named after. Ludwig von Koopa is another good example, he gets his name from '''Ludwig von''' Beethoven.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::So what does his O. stand for? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

:::Nothing I guess, and do you mean '''her''' O.?--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::::Yes I mean her. My bad. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

:::::Wait, wasn't he Ludwig '''Van''' Beethoven? {{User:Supermariofan14/sig}}
::::::Actually, [[Wikipedia:Ludwig van Beethoven|yes]]. And Williams' "O." stands for [[Wikipedia:Wendy O. Williams|"Orlean"]]. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 07:22, 3 January 2010 (EST)
:::::::So her name could be Wendy Orlean Koopa. But that is speculation which is not allowed on this wiki so the O. will remain a mystery. You could ask Nintendo if you want. [[User:Technickal|Technickal]] 10:13, 4 December 2011 (EST)-

==Princess?==
Since Bowser is king, wouldn't that make Wendy a princess?
{{User:Dry Bowser rules!/sig}}

WRONG! Remember Shigeru Miyamoto did that little interview and said that the Koopalings were actually '''NOT''' Bowser's children? {{User:InvincibleZtar/sig}}

:Depends on the definition of Prince/Princess (and yes, there other types of Princes/Princesses besides those who are next in line to kingship/queenship due to blood ties). If you go by the definition of simply a person who rules over a sector of a kingdom and reports to the ruler without necessarily being a relative (in other words, similar to a Governor), she would technically qualify as a princess under that. [[User:Weedle McHairybug|Weedle McHairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle McHairybug|talk]]) 07:05, 4 November 2012 (EST)


Also because she is King Koopa's daughter in the show  she can keep her princess status that way. ([[User talk:jawsisra|talk]])

== Reference ==

The second reference takes you to the Japanese website.{{unsigned|Magic Koopa Guy}}
:And there's a translation in the reference. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 18:40, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

==Can she have a chinese name?==
If there is a chinese name, I think 温迪 should be good. --[[Special:Contributions/220.255.211.219|220.255.211.219]] 00:49, 5 September 2014 (EDT)

:We don't ''make'' the names, we just report them. Unless a Chinese version of a game (or a tie-in website or whatever) she's in has actually provided 温迪 as her name, we can't add it to the page. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 11:20, 5 September 2014 (EDT)

== New voice in games ==

Regarding a recent edit that was made, the voice for Wendy was different in Mario Kart 8.  This is the actress' resume, which lists the role in Mario Kart 8 <http://www.ashleyflannegan.com/#!documentary/ck0q>.  I haven't seen any of the Koopalings in Smash so I can't attest to Ashley Flannegan being the latest portrayal or not.

== The 30th anniversary books' bios of Wendy O. Koopa ==

After a hiatus, I'm finally adding the bios for Wendy O. Koopa from the 30th Annyversary Books! Of course, like before these are just transcriptions with a bad tentative translations based on online translators, so help is needed! There she is called ウェンディ.

'''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'''

Characters' pages bio<br />
おしゃまでおてんば。紅一点のクッパ七人衆のひとり。<br />
''Precocious young girl [that acts as a] tomboy. The only female of the Koopalings.''<br />

Super Mario Bros. 3 enemies section<br />
W3のボス。画面内を飛び回るリングを使って攻撃してくる。<br />
''Boss of World 3. Attacks with a ring that flies around the screen.''<br />

Super Mario World enemies section<br />
チョコレー島のボス。レミーと同じだが、部屋のバブルが増えている。<br />
''Boss of Chocolate Island. Same as Lemmy, but in the room there are Zigzag Lava Bubbles.''<br />

New Super Mario Bros. Wii enemies section<br />
W4のボス。画面内を跳ね回るリングを出してくる。<br />
''Boss of World 4. Throws rings that bounce around the screen.''<br />

New Super Mario Bros. 2 enemies section<br />
W3のボス。部屋を水で満たし、踏めないようにする。<br />
''Boss of World 3. Fills the room with water to avoid getting stomped.''<br />

New Super Mario Bros. U enemies section<br />
フローズンだいちのボス。氷上を<span class=explain title="すべ">滑</span>りながら、リングを飛ばしてくる。<br />
''Boss of Frosted Glacier. While skating [literally, sliding] on ice, she throws rings.''<br />

'''Super Mario Memorial Book'''<br />
クッパ7人衆の紅一点。女の子らしく、頭に水玉もようの大きなリボンをつけている。<br />
''The only female of the Koopalings. Girlish, she wears a big bow with polka dots on her head.''<br />

Now, I had troubles with 「おしゃまでおてんば」 and 「女の子らしく」, the first should state that she's both a precocious girl (「おしゃま」) and a tomboy (「おてんば」), the second appears to state something like girlish, even though the Encyclopedia underlines that she's a tomboy.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:13, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

==What does Wendy say at the end of her battle in the Japanese version of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''?==
We now have also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMpkExKh1Bg the Japanese video of the battle with Wendy], and this time there are no big surprises. Still, it would be interesting to understand what Wendy says in the end:<br />
<br />
「でもアンタ、<br />
けっこう見どころがあるわね。<br />
さすが マリオってかんじ。<br />
まあ せいぜい<br />
がんばりなさいよ。<br />
フフン、じゃあね!」<br />
<br />
If I'm reading it correctly, Wendy says that she likes Mario, but I would like to know if I'm getting the meaning correctly.

== Um....==
Who Is She Referring To In Her Quote? Can't someone please edit it?
{{unsigned|108.46.243.200}}
:She's referring to [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. But the quote only links to Mario, so something should be done about that.
