Portuguese

Hello Akari, I would like to welcome you to MarioWiki. We always like to see new people come and help us out.

I have noticed you add Portuguese names in "Names in Other Languages" sections of many Mario Kart course articles. I am always interested to see names in other languages, but if I recall correctly, there isn't any Mario game in Portuguese yet. If there isn't any Portuguese Mario game, where do these Portuguese names come from?

You might not know this, but if a name isn't translated by Nintendo itself, you cannot add the name to a "Names in Other Languages" section. In other words, you may not make your own unofficial translations and add them to MarioWiki. You can only add Portuguese names when it appeared in the official Portuguese version of the game, the Portuguese Nintendo website or the Portuguese manual.

My questions is: Do you add unofficial Portuguese translations (made by yourself or given by unofficial sources) or did you got them from Nintendo? If you didn't get the Portuguese names from Nintendo, they sadly have to be removed from MarioWiki. If you did get the names from Nintendo, please show me source, like a picture or a weblink.
