:您好，我也是中国大陆的，之前看过[[User:Another_gossip-loving_Toad|您的 user page ]]里面那节关于马里奥的中文名的介绍，感觉您跟金属马力欧挺像的，或者就是金属马力欧？[[User:Hippopo|Hippopo]] ([[User talk:Hippopo|talk]]) 06:11, 23 November 2014 (EST)

::Nope. I'm neither "金属马力欧" nor "我是金属狂人". I was the guy who posted this: [http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3394782990]. By the way, do you think that the official translations (like 酷栗宝 "cool chestnut babies" for [[Goomba]]s) suck?

::: I haven't played many Chinese Mario games, so I'm not familiar with official traslations. But it does seem to me that the official Simplified Chinese translations are sometimes awkward, inaccurate, uncool, and done by people who seldom play video games. Traditional Chinese versions are generally better. [[User:Hippopo|Hippopo]] ([[User talk:Hippopo|talk]]) 09:26, 23 November 2014 (EST)

-== some questions ==
-Hi Hippopo, long time no see! Some Japanese names such as ゴツゴツ山 has only one kanji, and in such cases it's hard for me to determine the reading of the kanji (on-reading vs kun-reading). This is especially difficult for games with no furigana in the dialogue boxes. Do you have suggestions on how to deal with such cases when doing a romanization for the wiki?
-Also do you know how many groups of people are doing Chinese translations for Nintendo? I only know shényóu (iQue). [[User:A gossip-loving Toad|A gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:A gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 01:05, 10 April 2016 (EDT)
